The UK had a chance to normalise relations with Russia after the fall of the soviet union. They chose to maintain an adversarial stance, strengthening and expanding NATO by bringing member states to Russian borders, assembling missile batteries on Russian borders, applying sanctions. They pushed the Russians into a corner and then acted surprised when Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is far from reproach but the Anglosphere always needs an enemy and they have alternated between Arabs and Russians as a political tool and to plunder resources. The English are not the good guys, they have a horrible colonial history that still dogs us.
An interesting point (and I like your username 🙂) But not what I was talking about. Maybe you should post this point as a post of it’s own? It’s certainly a thought-provoking topic.
