Livid Boris Johnson savages ‘mealy-mouthed’ NATO for operating terrified of Putin

Boris Johnson hit out at NATO for its refusal to confess Ukraine into the safety alliance this week. The former Prime Minister, writing in his newest Daily Mail column, mentioned that the safety alliance had botched this week’s summit in Vilnius. Mr Johnson wrote: “It is time to be sturdy, finish the mealy-mouthed procrastination — and get Ukraine into Nato as quick as we will.”

He mentioned afterward that there seemed to be “no readiness” to welcome the nation into the bloc regardless of its bloody warfare with Russia.

In a withering assault on NATO, Mr Johnson mentioned the safety alliance’s “vacillating” over Ukraine‘s membership risked pushing Kyiv “back into the orbit of Moscow”.

Mr Johnson, a strong ally of President Zelensky, was a vocal supporter of Ukraine‘s war effort during his time in No 10.

He wrote: “When will we learn the lesson of the last 20 years of handling Putin?

“It is our very ambiguity, our vacillation, our sucking-and-blowing-at-once, which has prompted him to invade.

“As long as he thinks there is a chance that he can wrest Ukraine back into the orbit of Moscow – as long as he thinks he can recreate the Soviet Union – he will try.”

Mr Johnson wrote that the imprecise commitments meant “Putin will proceed to inflict homicide and mayhem — and to destabilise the world and the world financial system”.

He added that the Wagner mutiny exposed “close to anarchy” in Russia and steered that the Russian navy “know they’re going through defeat and humiliation in Ukraine“.

In his column, Mr Johnson urged the West to hurry up arming Ukraine with F-16 fighter jets.

The former Prime Minister’s livid phrases echo an interview with CNN earlier this week, by which he mentioned there was “no excuse or cause to proceed faffing round” on Ukraine‘s membership to NATO.

This fiery attack contrasts him with the current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who defended the summit as a success.

He told reporters: “I believe that may be very clear from at the moment’s summit that folks’s view is Ukraine will and needs to be a member of NATO.”
