what were the options given? Boris Johnson didn’t allow ukraine to negotiate with russia but at the time everybody thought it would be a walk in the park for NATO

Boris Johnson is not the President of Ukraine. He has no power to force or prevent a negotiation with Russia.

Just in case you're confused, here's a link describing who the current President of Ukraine is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Ukraine

that’s why you guys lose elections and scream “russia stole it!”

completely out of touch of reality like a reality distortion field. screaming it louder won’t make you right.

What part of “Boris Johnson isn’t President of Ukraine” is “out of touch with reality” or “Russia stealing elections?”

the part where you dare to suggest that Ukrainians prefer start sending their 18 year olds on the battlefield instead of agreeing to cease fire and negotiations is completely out of touch with reality. I'll translate this to your native American English for Halwits: don't be silly, stupid.

1. I’m not Boris Johnson.

2. I never said any of those things.

I don’t think I’m the one struggling with English.

Boris Johnson didn’t allow ukraine to negotiate

No, that's just a myth. Was a matter of speculation for a while, but when it got investigated, it didn't hold up.
