This quote is a good summary of the article:

It is time to rebuild meaningful working and trading relations with Europe. This does not have to mean rejoining the EU. But it does mean recognising where our security and our prosperity both lie.

Thoughts?

      The UK has had its own attacks from the Russian state (the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko and the attempted assassination of Sergei Skripal). Given that they invaded Ukraine (despite denying that they would), who knows what they will do next.

        India assassinated someone in Canada, is India going to occupy Canada soon? UK and Russia are both nuclear states btw.

        U.K. is subservient to U.S., has been since WW2, and likely will be as long as the U.S. exists . The article specifically mentions Russia but only links to another article saying Trump 'wants' Greenland. Mentioning Russia and China is a great way to ignore the real puppeteer.

          I think there is probably less of a chance of the US being malicious towards the UK (e.g. sending assassins to murder Brits), compared to the risk coming from Putin's regime.
