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.

You know things are really bad when Boris Johnson suddenly sounds like the voice of reason 😰
Too bad the campaign is over they could have paraded him around
You know things are bad when liberals think a homophobic conspiracy is being reasonable.
It’s not homophobic to say that America’s President and governmental leadership shouldn’t be sucking the actual or metaphorical dick of Putin.

Wow America, we really fucked up.
Boris fucking Johnson is criticizing us, and he’s right.
The truth is the truth, even when spoken by a known liar.
This has the same energy as when North Korea criticized us for our COVID response.
I saw a Brexit meme awhile back, of America going “hold my beer.”
Well, the UK is holding our beer now. Here we go!
Boris Johnson also knows a thing or two about homoerotic stuff, UK good schools and all.
…Boris Johnson said this?
Johnson is a slimy tosspot, and his position on Russia is good only for self-serving reasons. Supporting Ukraine let him act out his little Churchill fantasy and distract from all of his domestic failings
He was never pro-Russia and sees himself as a defender of classical western virtues, so this isn’t surprising at all.
sees himself as a defender of classical western virtues
-reads the “Relationships” section of his Wikipedia page-
Interesting. How does one develop this kind of delusion…
I think you meant to link to the “religion” section? Anyhow, I hate to defend BoJo, but there are worse role models than Pericles.
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.

I fear I’m gonna get a lot of mileage out of that headline over the next 4 years.
Did Boris Johnson just call Trump gay?
Not exactly, it sounds more like he’s calling everyone around trump gay, and they’re all trying to convince Trump to try sucking dick. Putin’s dick to be specific.
Does he really need any convincing?
Putin doesn’t need his dick sucked. He doesn’t care if you flatter him or love him or whatever. He only cares whether or not you follow orders.
Boris Johnson robbed my country blind; his party’s Austerity sold off and destroyed our public infrastructure and services to such a terrible degree that it’s unlikely the UK will recover within my lifetime if at all, and that’s BEFORE you get into the truly devastating consequences imposed on us by Brexit, or the fact his verbatim orders to handle covid were “Let the bodies pile high in the streets!”. All to line the pockets of him and his billionaire shitbag friends.
…So it is with some regret that I say: I can’t argue with this statement.
Boris Johnson has a similar fascination, you see. This guy wants to be Winston Churchill sooooooooo badly. You would not believe how hard BJ wishes he could be a modern Churchill. It was an open secret that the russian government had some pretty solid influence over Boris, a lot of rumours about them having dirt on his father in particular- and many reasonable and well-founded theories that Boris pushed Brexit through at the behest of Putin. But Boris Johnson saw the war in Ukraine start and he changed overnight. He certainly didn’t give up any of his vices or become a better person, god no, not at all. But he had stars in his eyes at the prospect of going down in history as a big and strong and heroic wartime leader studied in history books, and for that reason, he absolutely jumped at the prospect of helping Ukraine. Zero hesitation.
What I’m saying is that I genuinely believe Ukraine represents Boris Johnson’s lifelong dreams as a human being. And for that reason even if Boris is a terrible person who is certainly prone to bias, he has every intention of supporting Ukraine as much as he can- hence his willingness to speak against someone that he was previously very close with.
Yes I mean, he’s not wrong but his thing about Ukraine is driven by his Churchill obsession, not by real world ethics
You summed this up perfectly. Absolutely spot on.
Alt: Mural in Lithuania of Putin and Trump making out
Are they making out or is it a reference to the socialist fraternal kiss?
Symbolically, it’s a similar meaning either way.
Damn, extremely rare Boris Johnson win.
Pretty much.
These two definitely have a secret grindr
These two definitely want to fuck each other and that’s why it needs to be culturally ok to be gay. Then it wouldn’t have to come out this way.
The guy’s face on the left:
trump & other republicans see what putin has in Russia and they want that here for themselves. They do not care about Americans or the constitution. They care about money and power, and will kill Americans and the constitution to get it.
I mean isn’t that good? Love prevails
Trump does for sure.
NATO spooks actually trying to convince Trump it would be gay to pull out of Ukraine. This is insanity.
