When a seasoned leader like Boris Johnson publicly says that President Trump’s sheer force and unpredictability make a difference on the world stage, Americans should sit up and listen. Johnson — no fanboy but a pragmatist who’s dealt with the worst of international theatre — has said Trump’s unpredictability and blunt tactic of shocking opponents can be a strategic asset in diplomacy.
This isn’t praise handed out lightly; Johnson has repeatedly contrasted Trump’s decisive posture with the timid, consensus-chasing approach that has left America’s enemies testing our resolve. The former British prime minister noted real actions taken in prior years — expulsions of Russian operatives and hard stances on Syria and Iran — as evidence that a firm America is a safer world.
Conservative readers know what the elites refuse to admit: flirtation with weakness invites aggression. President Trump’s willingness to negotiate from strength — to unsettle adversaries with clarity, not moral preening — is exactly the kind of leadership that deters wars and produces deals instead of endless bloodshed. This is common-sense statecraft, not the virtue-signalling that has cost Americans so much in blood and treasure.
Meanwhile, the critics in the media circle like vultures over every blunt tweet, conveniently forgetting that the point of diplomacy is results, not applause lines in Davos. Johnson himself warned Europeans to stop being scandalised by shock tactics and start helping to convert that disruption into a real end to conflict, a rebuke to the parochial outrage industry.
Yes, Boris Johnson has also been clear-eyed enough to criticize bad deals when he sees them, refusing to sugarcoat compromises that would shortchange Ukraine’s security — a reminder that toughness must be principled, not performative. Conservatives should welcome that nuance: back strength that secures real outcomes for allies, not phony, paper promises that make cable news feel better.
Hardworking Americans deserve a foreign policy that protects their families and their freedoms, not one dictated by the hollow rituals of elites who think handwringing equals morality. If leaders like Johnson see the value in American strength and the force of personality when it is used to deliver peace and protect sovereignty, patriots here should be proud and ready to rally behind a President who dares to be strong.
