He really seems to think this pro-Russia strategy will work well for his party at the voting booth.

I doubt it will push his party above the 20% they are currently polling at.

How did UKIP do in elections and polls way back when?

He’s been listening to his pal Trump too much. But the pro-Russian contingent is less significant in the UK than it is in the US.

So Brexit was a good idea just implemented badly. Why don’t people remember that when he got his way he immediately bailed and left others holding the bag.

Either he is the great English Everyman and the UK’s population backs Russia, or he isn’t, and hard Brexit is not the Will Of The People. Though given both major parties ruling out any softening, and the BBC platforming him enthusiastically whilst having a ban on coverage of, say, the Green Party who actually have MPs, the powers that be are leaning hard on the former. Something will have to give.

I have heard the “the West forced Russia to invade Ukraine” bullshit even here on Lemmy.

A country can’t force a second country who is in opposition to them to invade a third country. That’s just not how anything works.
