The one who had undocumented meetings with Russia's foreign minister while he was Prime Minister and took large Russian donations to campaign funds?
The one who's party is still preventing the release of the report into Russian funding for the UK's exit of the EU.
Who's paying for his campaign this time, Pravda.com.us?

I’m not entirely sure if you’re making a joke about the name but this is Ukrainian pravda not Russian.

Just a hope that Boris might have picked better pay masters this time.
If he's a Ukrainian shill now it might not be a bad thing, although I don't think he's worth his salary.
Dragon Capital own the news site so they could afford him.

No matter what else you might think about bojo he was clearly a huge supporter of Ukraine

While Johnson was still the PM, the UK was among the largest contributors of military aid to Ukraine. I have no idea why you think Putin would view him favorably, or vice versa.

Brexit misinformation was heavily funded by Russian money. Boris loved Brexit and swore it would save UK all this money it never did. That's why.
epiquinnz t1_j9u88br wrote
Don't you think that arming heavily the country that Russia is trying to invade would negate any perceived amity between Russia and Johnson? You're putting too much weight on Brexit when we are talking about a literal war on the other end of the scale.

Putin depends on help from leaders he can bribe. He helped Trump with funding through the NRA and via hacking the DNC emails for Trump. Trump repaid him by trying to weaken NATO and talk positive about Putin. Putin helped Boris with advertising and misinformation on facebook. He's probably expecting Boris to help him back.
Roger Waters supported Putin in front of the UN. How much did he get from Putin? We'll probably never know.

>He's probably expecting Boris to help him back.
Then why didn't Boris pay him back when Russia attacked Ukraine? Seems like that would have been the perfect opportunity to do so? Why, instead, was UK under his leadership one of the strongest supporters of Ukraine in terms of military aid? It makes no sense to support the main enemy of Russia, during the most critical moment imaginable, if he's somehow supposed to be secretly working for Russia. I need you to address this point, if you want to continue laboring this hypothesis that Boris is a Russian asset.

Interesting. Someone needs to suggest this to Trump. It would be fun to see the two of them fighting over it, then pick someone else.
