... foster a war to sidetrack the public attention from his failings?
I think he is surely capable of doing it but do you think he would do it just to save his arse and stay in power?

Yes or no?

I see BJ and I don't think of politicians. Grin

You're insane. No one, not even Johnson, is going to start a war with Russia. The fact that you're saying this means you have no grip on reality in your criticisms.

Guavaf1sh · 29/01/2022 19:06

I thought before clicking that this post would be totally different

Againstmachine · 29/01/2022 19:38

What makes you think he hasn't already?

Well that would upset China who are already here.

Johnson won't start a war and you would be mad to think he would.

There are a few proxy wars going on between the US and Russia such as in the middle East such as in Syria.

Russia is trying to see how far it can push it. But if there aggression isn't countered it could be terrible for world and places like Taiwan as if we don't counter this then we wont counter this.

My fear is that he could blunder into something because of his loose tongue.

Like what? Seriously what could Boris Johnson say that hasn't been already said by most world leaders about Putin or the Ukraine situation? Give me an example of a comment that Johnson could make that could kick of a war because if he can do that, I'd think he must be a mighty powerful guy.

Except that Russia started a bloody war.
And BJ is now much higher in the polls.
Lucky buggar!

Boris Johnson was in peace talks in January in the Ukraine ,but yeah I agree Op,im sure he will start world war three just to distract attention from party gate 🙄

Georgeskitchen · 14/03/2022 20:08

Nobody wants a war with Russia. Perhaps all you fine military/political experts would like to advise the world how to stop the madman Putin in his tracks.

TimeFlysWhenYoureHavingRum · 14/03/2022 20:27

He's already taken the money - he's just Putin's useful idiot (has been for years).
It is incredible that a prime minister of the UK could be described as a "national security risk" by MI6 and remain in post. Who knows where it goes from here.

balalake · 14/03/2022 20:32

Mr Johnson, whilst the worst Prime Minister in our history, I do not expect to foster a war. He may go on more foreign trips to talk to other leaders, but that is about all.

This. Plus people are in hellish situation right now and this thread feels too flippant.
