Boris Johnson Gives Strongly Worded Speech on Ukraine Crisis

Boris Johnson gave a strongly worded speech during the second day of the annual security Conference in Munich Saturday.

The British Prime Minister warned that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would bring "the destruction of a democratic state" and would embolden rulers who believe that "might is right."

The Kremlin has repeatedly denied it plans to invade Ukraine, while massing more than 150,000 troops on the country’s borders, according to the U.S., and demanding concessions from Washington and NATO.

[juroen]

Yeah, maybe he is happy he has some distraction from his party gate.

This guy is a living version of a Family Guy character.

Strongly worded criticism, that's the most powerful weapon known to an Englishman.

[FoxtrotGolfLima]

I never thought about the implications for Taiwan, should Russia be unopposed in Ukraine

[moppman]

It's Boris Johnson! We better listen

[sonorous]

I always wonder how the Russian people feel about their “government” and it’s motives/conduct, etc. Is the average Russian for or against the regime? 🤔

[peca]

Does anyone believe what Boris just said?

[QueferSutherland]

Well spoken, i won't speak on america because I love my country and it's not the citizens that are cowards. I'd fight for Ukraine. Really good poke at the CCP and Russia

[dilldoe]

The only crisis I’d that once again the u.s. has to get involved in someone else’s conflict.

[johnalbert]

Let’s be sure to take care of any country but our own.
Seems like he shares Biden’s philosophy.

[JohntheNobleSavage]

Love Boris or not but there are two undeniable facts: (1) he is extremely bright (2) he means what he says. Unfortunately for both him and us, lies also the undeniable fact that our President is neither.

[bobsaget]

I thought this dude was just laughed out of court and forced to resign no? Was that not just the other day?

[raoulh.]

I’m sure the PM’s strong words will have Comrade Putin quaking in his boots.

[barbaramitchell]

Does Ukrainian’s even want the other countries to help them?

[marisadallavalle]

So nice to hear Boris Johnson speaking like a straight up normal person. He certainly has matured.

[ritapoe]

Cronies trying to save themselves. Russia doesn't want war. Reminds me of, Collin Powell, weapons of mass destruction" debacle.

[woodtool]

Might is NOT right. We should stand behind them.

[angiecoers]

Now he wears a mask. He needs to go, his arrogance cannot be contained. The fact he is not respectful enough to brush or put products on his hair is part of his arrogance. Harry, Meghan, Andrew, Boris- Strip their titles for their of Arrogance.
