Philip, you said, "Putin has had no better friend than Trump". But Johnson must be in the running too. When it is obvious how Russia could have compromised both individuals and this is known to their administrations, why are they allowed to get away with it? They are both strategic Russian assets. Are their administrations just too embarrassed, at the lofty heights they achieved, to call them out?
Agree with this.
As an Irishman, Russia's behaviour means we need to seriously consider emulating Sweden and Finland, and abandoning neutrality for NATO membership.
The war has also exposed a couple of our "maverick" MEPs as Russian stooges.

I think this was true until Johnson decided that it was in his interest to change sides and support Ukraine...
