Alexandole Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

If Sunak had any balls he would rein in the loose cannon that is Johnson
Sunak has precious little rein over those he has in harness, let alone a backbencher like mustang Johnson. As I pointed out on another thread, the moment he starts bothering about him publicly is the moment others start talking about a leadership challenge. Next thing you know there’s a stalking horse, to torture the equine analogy further.
 
The raggedy **** has turned up in Washington today
Dangerous idiot. Now calling for f16s to be sent. I'd love to believe he genuinely wants to help Ukraine but it appears he's just a loose cannon representing the arms industry in a proxy war outsourced to Ukraine.
Even if well intended, why are we trusting a man who's poorly chosen words caused a national panic and subsequent run on the fuel pumps to handle the most delicate and dangerous diplomatic situation since Korea/Cuba?

It is a very bizarre situation, particularly given how appallingly shit and uninterested he was when he actually had the role of foreign secretary…

Maybe the Russians have cut off his cashflow since his Lebedev/Perugia trip without entourage when he actually was Foreign Sec, and he thinks he's having his revenge?!

More likely he's just posturing for himself to a friendly set of senators and the Atlantic Council think tank (which apparently the UK govt were a major donor to in 2018). It seems reasonable to assume he's seeing some personal benefit that some Americans may still think he's in charge.

That's is one way to put it, and you are right that is a huge risk. He is a fucking nightmare for any PM, may had the same problem with him. The other risk is that Johnson is cosplaying as PM in a way that benefits him an hurts Sunak. Meeting Zelensky an the Daily Mail front page is him dictating what foreign policy should be on the world stage. Showing up in the US in this way is along the same vein.

He is in my opinion, cynically using the popularity of Zelensky and the war in Ukraine to relaunch himself as Boris the strong man who stands up to the dictators. That horseshit story about Putin and the missle is not designed to reveal how barbaric putin is, but how brave Johnson is.

I know what you mean, but given that the Kremlin have denied it was said it must almost certainly be true.
