Tension between Great Britain and Russia

Pierre Rousselin considers that "the evolution is worrying. We must not exaggerate its thrust by referring constantly to the Cold War, a period very different to the one we live in today. Neither must we cover our eyes, as was the case during the last summit in Kennebunkport [on July 1st], in the United States, where, between fishing outings, George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin wanted to demonstrate that their relations were excellent. ... The truth is neither in this official pointless optimism nor in excessive alarmism. Russia is no longer the partner we dreamed of. Neither is it the enemy that it was during the Cold War. To avoid Russia regaining this role, we must bring our Russian discourse in line with reality, and, above all, stop any irreversible escalation."
