Republican Party has 'homoerotic fascination' with Vladimir Putin: Ex-UK PM
Boris Johnson, former British Prime Minister, has shared his thoughts on the relationship between Russia and the Republican Party.
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.

…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.

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.
