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.
