Putin propagandists peeked at Boris Johnson after mocking the Russian leader’s topless photos and ‘toxic masculinity’.
In one particularly brutal destruction, a Kremlin journalist branded the prime minister “chubby”, made a dig about party holes and claimed he was “jealous of Putin’s good form”.
The word fight kicked off earlier this week when the prime minister joked at his Russian counterpart’s expense and told a G7 summit: ‘Shall we take off our clothes? We have to show we are tougher than Putin. ‘
Canada’s Justin Trudeau then quoted the dictator’s infamous photos of him riding helplessly on a horse, saying: ‘We are going to get the bare-chested horse-riding show’, before Mr. Johnson believed: ‘We need to show them our images. ‘
The British prime minister further angered Putin’s cheerleaders when he claimed the invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if the war criminal had been a woman.
Mr Johnson said: “If Putin were a woman, which he obviously is not, but if he were, I really do not think he would have started a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence the way he did. do not have. .
“If you want a perfect example of toxic masculinity, this is what he does in Ukraine.”
Putin hit back at the remarks today, saying he would find it ‘disgusting’ to see G7 leaders imitate his topless display.
He also liked Margaret Thatcher in the Falklands War to kill Mr. To refute Johnson’s theory.
Now his army of propagandists has also jumped to his defense – with a view to Boris Johnson.
Olga Skabeyeva, known as Russia’s “Iron Doll”, said: “President Putin, even a long way from [Boris] Johnson haunts the British prime minister.
“After participants in the G7 summit rejected his offer to withdraw and show Putin his chest muscles, Johnson said – and this is no joke – that Russia’s war against Ukraine would not have happened if Putin, like Johnson fantasizes, a woman was not.
“Russia’s president allegedly started the war just because he felt macho.
“I think we can assume that the chubby Boris with a female figure – we saw those weird pictures of him – is just jealous of the Russian president, who is in good shape.”
While making the remarks on state television, a picture was shown of Mr. Johnson running in bright pink shorts and a woolly hat, under a caption that said ‘Boris show us your pecs’. The image of the prime minister was placed on top of Putin on horseback.
Skabeyeva went on to make a dig across party holes, saying: ‘Boris puts his complexes on display for all to see.
And Johnson may continue his alcoholic parties.
‘We know he has such a [habit]. At the NATO summit, he had a drink and said some silly things.
‘[Putin’s spokesman] about Johnson’s words said that Freud would have dreamed of having such a patient.
“Of course it’s impossible not to agree with him.”
Skabeyeva was not the only propagandist who struggled to let go of the British prime minister’s remarks.
Charge cheerleader Vladimir Solovyov posted a bizarre rant that said: ‘Hello to Boris Johnson, who said that Vladimir Putin would not have started a special operation if he were a woman.
‘Boris seems to have specific (gender) characteristics, but it’s hard to call him a man.
“He is more likely to be a political transgender.
“Surprising that the last man in British politics was a woman.”
Others rejoiced at the revival of a crude story Putin told in 2014 when he said, ‘We have this saying, it’s a little crude, it’s about a grandmother and a grandfather.
“If a grandmother had to have male genitals, then she would have been a grandfather.”
A poster was erected immediately outside the British embassy in Moscow by Johnson as a female, but perhaps not a babushka (grandmother), and the message: ‘If grandma had balls, she would be grandpa.’
Boris Johnson’s mockery points to a change in more sinister threats often made on state television to destroy the UK.
The prime minister appeared unphased by the criticism of Moscow today.
He seemed to be laughing when asked about Putin’s belief that it would be ‘disgusting’ to see him topless.
He responded to the barrage by referring instead to the “barbaric” actions that Putin inflicted on Ukraine.
He told the NATO summit in Madrid: ‘He needs to think about the consequences of his barbaric actions, the way his invasion actually brought the West together, NATO, G7, EU, look at the way people came together.
“If he wanted less NATO at his borders by coming to Ukraine, which by the way was never extremely likely that Ukraine would join NATO at any time in the foreseeable future, everyone knew it, it was completely mythical.
‘But instead, what he has is Sweden and Finland breaking their historic vows of neutrality because they are so upset and repulsed by his violence and aggression.
“I think it’s an absolutely devastating remark about what he did and his behavior.”
