Excellent piece, Mark Timberlake.

This is a dangerous sentiment that exits in parts of America and the UK. The results are Donald trump and Brexit, and their enormous costs.

Ukraine, obviously, but Russian future must be rebuilt immediately upon the end of the Ukrainian war and Putin gone.

Unfortunately, once economic sanctions are in place, their removal are difficult because conditions are never satisfied. But they must quickly come off and western companies and people return to Russia.

An isolated and failed Russia with no hope for its people is NOT in the interests of the West.

Many thanks.
