Russia is a problem for everybody.
Still, at least the Russians seem to feel obliged to take Macron seriously and haven't started poking fun at him on the world stage.
https://news.sky.com/story/senior-ru...hless-12530767"Russia's Deputy UN Ambassador, Dmitry Polyanskiy, told Sky News: "There is always room for diplomacy, but frankly, we don't trust British diplomacy. I think in recent years British diplomacy has shown that it is absolutely worthless. I really don't want to offend anybody, especially my good friends, British diplomats, but really, the results are nothing to boast about."Not that anybody trusts Russion diplomacy either, but the fact that any diplomat on the world stage feels empowered to say something like that, confident that there will be no gasps of outrage, no "friends" rushing to defend the UK and no international backlash, from other countries because by and large they agree, is rather sad for the UK.
