Letter to the I: Appeasing Russia

I am disappointed but not surprised to hear about the British Government's subtle moves towards appeasement with Russia.  I am not surprised since Theresa May in her previous cabinet post postponed the inquest into the assassination of Alexander Litvinenko  so as not to offend the Russians, against the wishes of his grieving widow.
     And now our destructive policy towards Europe has suddenly pushed May to embrace the most illiberal partners she can find including the Gulf States, Turkey and now Russia.  Any cooperation May pursues with Russia should be accompanied by a clear message; this does not absolve Russia of bad behaviour.  If they want respect then they must stop being a rogue state.
