Key points from the article (thanks, Google).
Call to the media: UK Defense Secretary Wes Streeting has argued that the UK and Russia need to establish new and direct lines of communication - particularly at a military-to-military level - to reduce the risk of accidental escalation or miscalculation from hybrid threats from Russia and "state-sponsored terrorism".
Falling behind allies: Streeting noted that Britain has fallen behind other European countries, such as France and Germany, which have maintained high-level diplomatic contacts with Moscow.
A warning to Brussels: He urged the European Union not to let protectionist "Made in Europe" economic policies weaken the overall unity of the NATO alliance.
Well, yes, rules for you, not for me. Britain is no longer part of the EU, so let them dictate policy to the US, not the EU. This is what megalomania looks like in reality.
