Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson – who is believed to have thwarted an early-brokered peace between Ukraine and Russia – is now urging Donald Trump to continue the wasteful and unaccountable U.S. support for the nation in his second term.
Johnson visited Ukraine again last week, and has now warned in a new column in the globalist Spectator magazine that Russian success would be a “catastrophe” for Western and American leadership. Johnson peddled the same neoconservative positions he used while Prime Minister, before his ouster over corruption.
“I don’t believe it is an outcome that could easily be endured by a US President, let alone one who wanted to Make America Great Again. And if, on the other hand, Ukraine wins and kicks Putin out – as, with our help, they can – then the reverse is true.”

“Exactly the opposite message will be sent around the world: that we do care about democracy, that we are willing to back our principles, and that the West still has the guts to stick at something until we succeed,” Johnson added.
Instead, Johnson supports the view of the Biden government in continuing to send billions of dollars in weaponry, machinery, and aid to maintain the war, which has already led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian soldiers and tens of thousands of amputations and life-changing injuries.
Johnson also recently claimed he wants to force the Taliban to watch women’s soccer until they finally appreciate women’s sports.
