In his speech, delivered at London's Banquet Hall, Cameron appeals to businessmen, urging them to support sanctions against Russia. He transparently hints: in the long-term strategic perspective, what Russia did with Ukraine, it can do with another country, including Britain, and therefore, in the end, no matter how unprofitable and difficult sanctions against Russia are for England today, they will turn out to be useful tomorrow, when it will be possible to “stop the Russian bear.”
Having mentioned in his speech Mikhail Gorbachev, who announced the beginning of a new Cold War in Europe on Saturday, Cameron essentially agreed with his thesis, but tried to shift responsibility for its beginning to others, saying that this was not the result he was striving for . By shifting responsibility to Russia, Cameron is confident that a “new Cold War” could have been avoided. Britain should not turn a blind eye to the hooligan behavior of big countries towards small ones, the prime minister is sure. Cameron will talk to Putin like a bully at the G20 summit.
