Boris Johnson today warned it would be a 'disaster for the world' if Russia invades Ukraine as the nation's president slapped down Joe Biden for 'green-lighting' an attack with his 'minor incursion' gaffe.
The UK Prime Minister said 'any kind of incursion, on any scale' would be 'a disaster not just for Ukraine but for Russia' as NATO allies try to dissuade Vladimir Putin from launching an attack the Pentagon warns is 'imminent'.
Johnson's remark came after Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky slapped down the US president after he appeared to suggest that a 'minor incursion' by Moscow might elicit a lesser response than a full-scale invasion.
Zelensky denounced Biden for 'green-lighting' an attack on the country with the remarks, warning that there was no such as thing as a 'minor incursion'.
'We want to remind the great powers that there are no minor incursions and small nations. Just as there are no minor casualties and little grief from the loss of loved ones,' Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
Biden, speaking at a White House press conference yesterday where Russia came up repeatedly, had said: 'It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera.
'But if they actually do what they're capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia,' he added.
The president's comment prompted a cleanup from the White House on Wednesday night - a task Press Secretary Jen Psaki and Vice President Kamala Harris carried forward in Thursday morning TV interviews - and saw the US press heavily criticise Biden over his press conference.

Well if anyone knows about “disasters”, it’s Boris.

Not a Churchillian statement
Letting BiXiden get fraudulently elected was a Disaster.
Gaffs are what you get when you let an idiot run the country.
Boris should take care of his own country.
It almost looks like in the first picture the Russian vehicles are lined up to spell FJB. JK.
Now that would be hillarious.
Biden: “That was four days ago, five days ago.”
I said a year ago that a war would be started to divert our attention from Biden’s plans.
I hate being right.
MSNBC to remind viewers that Boris was Trump’s friend...in 3..2..1..
...so whatever he says is instantly discounted. Anyone who ever had a positive thought about Trump is either a madman or a white supremacist, according to the prevailing narrative. Orwell would understand.
Putin,
Don’t let him sucker you into this.
Resident Biden has brought the whole world together in a consensus that he is an idiot.
Boris is looking for a war to distract the people from his maskless parties while subjecting the rest of England to tyranny!

Those tanks look like they’ve never touched the ground.
“...Boris is looking for a war ...”
and maybe Biden is looking for a war to save his presidency.
Somebody needs to grab these dorks at the throat and make them understand that they are messing with a nuclear power.
Boris Johnson better realize that a few warheads hit England, there might not be much left to inhabit.
Britain is always there for us when she needs us.
Yep, I watched "Threads", I know how it turns out.
