Summary
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson criticized the Republican Party’s “homoerotic fascination” with Russian President Vladimir Putin, contrasting it with Trump’s previous “tough” stance.
Johnson condemned GOP admiration for Putin’s “manly Christianity,” calling him a “tyrant” and “kleptocrat.”
Despite congratulating Trump on his 2024 win, Johnson warned of “dangerous” influences within Trump’s circle that could lead to a Ukraine peace deal unfavorable to democracy.
Johnson emphasized the global risk if Ukraine were to fall, as Trump claims he can swiftly end the war.
Johnson’s position on Ukraine is one of the few things where he did in fact show some strong leadership. Couldn’t fault him for that.
He failed in a lot of other areas unfortunately.
