7. I would tend to agree

I do think that Britain is seen as being a soft touch at present, and our current foreign policy of leaving the EU and kowtowing to President Fart is making that much worse.

Theresa May's reaction so far has been OK-ish (certainly better than Gavin Williamson's outburst), but she will need to go further with action against Russia. Also worth remembering that there is a lot of pro-Russian sympathy among Brexiteers. The reactions of President Fart and Jeremy Corbyn have both been very disappointing. Just two years in to the Brexit Age and the Conservatives have become UKIP, Labour have become InfoWars, and UK sovereignty has become Russian.

The one thing we have in our favour at the moment is NATO membership, which necessarily entails solidarity from our allies. Even at a time when we are deliberately wrecking the links that hold us together by leaving the EU.
