I'd like to see Boris involved with Putin. Not in the Ukraine, but in Mali.
Putin has sent his mercenaries - the Wagner group they're called - into Mali. First, in go the geologists. They suss out the lie of the land. In Mali, its Lithium they are after.
The Mali govt - completely illegitimate band of gangsters after a putsch in April last year - are paying Wagner 9,000,000 Euros a month for protection from the jihadists and other mercenary groups, while they plunder their country. Wagner hands the extraction of the country's mineral wealth to Russian companies .... and Putin creams off of course.
Not only that. There's a proto-European army failing out there for lack of German support. This could be Europe taking responsibility for its own defense! France, Denmark, Estonia and Finland.
This also ties back to Ukraine - Ukraine is the other end of Putin's Mali deal.
Boris is just the man to have the UK involved. And the DT would have a genuine story to report on, test its journalists' real mettle, sell copy and be proud of its content.
