Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine would not have happened if Russian President Vladimir Putin was a woman, British Prime Minister BorisJohnson claims.
Johnson argued that Putin's attack on Ukraine was an example of something that's wrong with men and said it wouldn't have happened under other circumstances in comments to German broadcaster ZDF."If Putin was a woman, which he obviously isn't, but if he were, I really don't think he would've embarked on a crazy, macho war of invasion and violence in the way that he has," Johnson said, according to the Independent.
Days prior, Johnson and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau joked about showing"our pecs" during a photo op at the G-7 summit. The two were referencing a slate of photos that Putin has distributed of himself, sometimes shirtless, while on horseback, fishing, and more. "We're going to get the bare-chested horseback riding display," Trudeau joked, to which Johnson added,"We've got to show them our pecs!" according to the Washington Post.
Johnson himself has faced criticism in the past for sexist comments. While meeting with then-Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak in 2013, Johnson suggested that Malaysian women should go to university as"they've got to find men to marry," according to the Scotsman.

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, outlining the current U.S. intelligence assessment of the more than four-month war, said that the consensus of U.S. spy agencies is that it will grind on 'for an extended period of time.' 'In short, the picture remains pretty grim and Russia's attitude toward the West is hardening,' Haines told a Commerce Department conference.
