Russian invasion of Ukraine

It is perfectly possible to both believe Boris Johnson
(1) encouraged Putin by enabling Brexit and courting various oligarchs.
(2) has done the right thing supporting Ukraine and is welcomed there by Zelensky

Whether or not you believe he's corrupt, dishonest and the worst PM in the history of the country, or the saviour of our sovereignty and inspirer of a new future for us.

I don’t know if we saw or understood the connection between Brexit and Russian imperial ambitions. It seems a bit more obvious now, as does Russian bots promoting social discord. The undeclared war is an interesting watch on this topic if you can ignore the geeky shit - certainly made me think a bit more.

Anyway maybe not a discussion for this thread

Well done to Boris


Boris Johnson has returned to Ukraine as the war-torn country marks its independence day.

The prime minister was pictured in Kyiv with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

"What happens in Ukraine matters to us all," Mr Johnson said on Twitter.
"That is why I am in Kyiv today. That is why the UK will continue to stand with our Ukrainian friends.
"I believe Ukraine can and will win this war."

Mr Johnson announced another package of support for Ukraine, including unmanned surveillance and missile systems.

The package, worth £54m, also includes 200 state-of-the-art drones and anti-tank loitering munitions.

Johnson is an utter balloon but when it comes to standing up for Ukraine he has genuinely set an example to other world leaders. Respect where it's due.

Think he's been the worst Prime Minister in my lifetime

but I will give him full credit for our involvement and support for Ukraine

you have received quite the backlash on this one - but least you have the 2 biggest WUM's liking your posts.

Inspirational speech on independence day from Zelenskyy, it's nearly ten minutes long, but well worth watching:

Exactly this. He's been a c**t on the home front, but near perfect for his stance on Ukraine

He sounds like Guardiola has sent him a few million quids worth of cigars!
