He stressed that there is no need to control other countries, and if you love someone, let them go.
What Putin is doing is archaic and barbaric, and he needs to understand that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania none of these countries are part of the Russian imperium anymore, and nor is Ukraine.
Its over, Johnson said, adding emotionally No more empire, Vladimir, you fuing idiot Johnson immediately apologised for the swearing but said Thats the way it is.
