It turns out Putin is not, in fact Hitler – he is a drug pusher. Perhaps he is both?

Guardian:


Boris Johnson has compared Vladimir Putin to a drug dealer who managed to hook western nations on Russian supplies of oil and gas, ahead of a trip to the Middle East in an attempt to diversify the sources of Britain’s energy imports.

The UK prime minister urged European countries to “get ourselves off that addiction” and said he wanted support from “the widest possible coalition” to help offset the pressures caused by spiralling oil and gas prices.

Boris Johnson has compared Vladimir Putin to a drug dealer who has western nations hooked on his supply of oil and gas.

The prime minister added that Russia’s „brutal“ and „indiscriminate“ bombing of Ukraine is „quite unbelievable“ as he vowed the president will not succeed in his aim.

“Vladimir Putin over the last years has been like a pusher, feeding an addiction in western countries to his hydrocarbons,” Mr Johnson on Tuesday.

„We [must] wean ourselves off Russian hydrocarbons.“
