Putin threatened Boris with a hairbrush 😂😂😂

[thruknobulaxii]

One unlikely story, two proven liars.
Best to ignore such self-serving twaddle.

[namur-iqih]

The tragic attempts of a man to generate some relevance again.

[leet]

Sounds like another in a very long line of lies from Boris. He's just trying to look relevant. Must have a book out or is making a political play

[donsummers]

President Biden will protect us from any danger

[kiea]

Oh no. Warmongering had coincidences and consequences?

[TheWordIs]

We only had one pointed toward the UK, Boris, it was pointed at your

[sinofinance]

Putin def gives me alpha male vibes and boris is looking and sounding like he scared.

[eggs]

Absolute bollox! Hahahaha! Love Boris and his commitment to lying

[Ashley-Paucek]

Boris Johnson is such a positive and informal politician.
I like him.

[mariannabatz]

A complete victory for Ukraine with the 1991 borders will help Putin understand that his time is up and it's time to take responsibility for all his crimes.

[malignm]

My response would've been “I'll send one right back at you in less than a minute. Express shipping”. These western leaders got to stop getting walked on it's disgusting.

[RealTylerBell]

its funny because would take couple missile to weak the uk to useless,

[davesmith]

Never would have happened with Trump and we all know it all of those beautiful children would still be alive

[เสกสรรคมสันกาโม่]

Do it Mr.Putin! in the name of peace for UK. people! do it!!!! 😁

[TaimourDwidar]

Please make the call record public. I bet you that would be fun. I'm sure that Putin would not say that, as it is not Russian style. Do it t. Peskov!

[melidareichert]

After this, Putin hides in his bunkers more

[polysporin]

Boris is more of a court Jester, than state politician.
Always good for a laugh.
Although he does consider himself among "the" great leaders like Churchill, Napoleon and Stalin.

[polysporin]

Hey if he returns to prime minister and actually defeats the Russian army, and takes over Russia. Then he could call himself one of the greatest Godlike leaders of all time. Among greats like Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Qin Shi Huang first Emperor of China, etc.
there are also Ottoman, Umayyad Caliphates, Indian and African empires. Aztecs and such.
Russia was only ever defeated by the Mongols back in 1230s.
2) Poland came close and even occupied Moscow for a year in 1613 before being beaten back by the Cossacks.
3) Napoleon and 4) Swedish Empire only briefly occupied Russian territory but never actually reached Moscow.

I figured they 'd be buddies. He looks like TRUMP and acts like him. AND Johnson speaks Russian.
