Russia should be striving to repair ties with Britain

Russia's deputy foreign minister has said Britain's expulsion of four diplomats from London could jeopardize co-operation on counter-terrorism and others security issues. Britain is trying to humiliate Russia and limit their intelligence on the issue and is standing up against harboring a high profile suspect. Russia should be striving to repair ties with Britain (and the US for that matter) and this relatively small matter is not helping their international relations. This incident should be repaired on both sides quickly (as it must for economic reasons) through appeasement. To let this blow over would be to expand on the media hype of a Russian chill.
