Goodbye, Boris Johnson. The British prime minister has shown himself overwhelmed by the scandals and the mass resignations of members of his government waving a white flag: Resignation as party leader. And the UK will therefore change its leadership. All of this in the midst of the war in Ukraine, a conflict in which BoJo took a very clear position: always stand by Kiev at all costs until Russia was bent past Wladimir Putin.
And now, without Johnson, what happens? The theme is carried out at Controcorrente, the program of Veronica Gentili on Rete 4, where one of the guests is Paolo Liguorithe director of TgCom24, who argues this whole situation in a revealing way.
“It is something different. The great crisis of western leaders is here – he premiered -. Boris Johnson spearheaded a theory that said: The wilder we crack down on Putin and everyone is united, the more Putin’s world will crumble. And basically, Putin will be forced to leave. That was the initial theory we relied on, which I’ve heard repeated a hundred times,” Liguori recalls.
And again: “But I don’t think it’s good to scowl at a self-sufficient dictator, to be dictators and autistic, that also applies to Erdogan, they strengthen themselves and don’t isolate themselves.” Then We saw Putin’s isolation at the BRICS conference: he has almost the whole world with him and we are on the other side, much less, at least a third”, concludes Paolo Liguori, expressing all his concerns.
