Comments by "" (@EbenBransome) on "the logical fallacy at the heart of dismissing Boris Johnson's observation" video.

  1. Well, Putin has a daughter so Johnson was half right. As for being an id10t, the ISW and other independent bodies show Putin still holding onto Donbas, Crimea and all those lovely mineral deposits. If I had a £ for every article I've seen that says Russia is on the verge of collapse, in the last couple of years, it would make up for the Winter Fuel Allowance several times over. And Trump's demand that the rest of NATO spend lots and lots of money on buying US weapons (which is what it's really about) does suggest that supporting Ukraine is not a priority for him. Whereas Johnson is a washed up ex-PM. Who is the id10t here? The fact that Alexander Johnson has a complicated relationship with the truth is neither here nor there. His assessment is no such thing, it's just headline grabbing. And it works. Clickbait, that's all the Conservative Party is good for these days. Seniors in Clacton are using this one weird trick to get an appointment with their absent MP. Ian Duncan Smith reveals this secret way to destabilise the economy. You won't believe what Boris said about Putin. Fifty politicians we're glad are out of Parliament.

  2. He took money from the wife of a financier close to Putin. Then came the invasion and he saw an opportunity. "Wotcher, Volo, wanna photo op? I'm a big noise in the West you know!" -"So, Gospodin Dzhonson, by you how many battalions?" "Just play it my way and Biden will roll over and play dead for you." Millions of refugees and tens of thousands of dead later, landscape lunar and the war goes on, Johnson, exasperated: "Putin grebaniy durak, ya yeshchye ne korol' mira!"

  3. Exactly. I didn't notice Johnson offering profound thoughts on what is going on in the Russian government, or even the Duma. Just name calling.
