Not gonna lie, that headline had me on the first half. I was getting mad up until the last three words.
Yeah, it’s a rollercoaster.
And it’s so easily fixable too. “Boris Johnson calls to lift ban on Ukraine using”… etc. or just move “to be lifted” immediately after “ban”.
But then it wouldn’t be click bait.
Mmm-hm.
It a definite instance where keeping the preposition in (“the ban on”) would have been clearer.
Yup
Same. I started thinking “why, that stupid shit-for-brains…” and had to reel that in with the last few words.

My instinctive hostility towards anything he does or says
I feel like he changed his mind when he saw how upset i was while reading through the first half
These limitations on Ukraine really need to be lifted. Ukraine needs freedom to attack the best strategic targets they can, whether they are in Ukraine occupied areas or in Russia.
The only problem I see is that it’s escalatory. If Ukraine starts using Western-supplied weapons for offensive operations, this situation goes from supplying war material for defense (under-the-table proxy war) to full-on overt proxy war. Russia will spin this as “NATO is using Ukraine to attack us” (though they’re probably doing that already).
I can’t see how this won’t lead to a wider conflict.

Wasn’t invading Ukraine escalatory in the first place?
Boris calling for escalation again when he’s the one who talked zelensky out of a peace deal earlier in the war? Nooo.
Doesn’t Storm Shadow require Western operators to program targets? I want Ukraine to win this war of national survival (unlike the US administration) but Western operators programming missiles to hit targets in Russia does sound escalatory to me. I’d rather see Ukraine receive a decent number of F16s (i.e. much more than currently pledged) with corresponding munitions. There’s a lot of really useful stuff in the Western arsenal that would otherwise remain unused forever, including older-gen glide bombs & standoff weapons. It’s not going to be the Wunderwaffen winning this war, anyway. But an ample supply of decent weapons could work wonders. Just look at the success of Russia’s cheap glide bomb upgrades. (Sorry for the wall of text, by the way, but I can’t get Connect for Android to retain line breaks)
Based Boris
Never. The dude being right once doesn’t absolve him of shit. Fuck him.
Amen. Dude totally fucked the UK for a hundred years. Not that I’m crying over it, given their past, but the regular people deserved better than Brexit.
I was enjoying not hearing from this buffoon way too much, just like I will enjoy not hearing about Trump one day.
So I’ll just go:’ oh no anyway’ on this one and hope the next but about him is further in the future.
Bo Jove, I think he’s got it!
I will admit that I am confounded by how often I agree with Boris Johnson’s views on providing military aid to Ukraine, considering I almost always vehemently disagree with him on pretty much anything and everything else.
Yeah he’s one of the very few Western politicians who is taking the threat Russia poses to European security seriously. I found it unexpected tbh considering all of his other views.
