Russia and France have distanced themselves from the US and placed themselves out of the loop when the US restructures the Iraqi society and government.
They will probably be locked out on the redevelopment project that will be the re-building of that country.
I can't say that I shed any tears for them, but they are still right that the war is not justified or in the best interest of the United States.
