With respect to Sir Tony Brenton's letter regarding Russia,
I appreciate that his job inclines him to seek greater diplomatic efforts. However one could argue that Russia acts in
such a way as to be hardly a trustworthy partner in negotiating on alleged
common problems. Take cyber crime for
example. With evidence of Russian troll
farms and state-sponsored hacking the computer networks of democratic
countries, it is obvious that our interests are very different. Furthermore cooperation on tackling such
problems should not come at the expense of the freedom of Russia's neighbours. One only has to remember the shame our
country still carries for offering Joseph Stalin the infamous Percentages
Agreement.
