Oh, Boris Johnson, you wild, wild man. So, turns out the ex-UK prime minister didn’t just think about waging a Brexit-fueled trade war with the EU during the pandemic—he was ready to raid a Dutch factory for vaccines like some action movie star! I swear, this guy probably had "Mission Impossible" playing in the background while planning out how to secretly invade a NATO ally to swipe 5 million doses of AstraZeneca vaccines.
Apparently, in March 2021, Johnson asked Britain’s military chiefs to sketch up a covert mission to grab those vaccines that the EU was threatening to block. According to Boris, they were all like, "Sure, we can do it... but it’ll probably cause a diplomatic meltdown." Imagine the headline: “Britain Invades Netherlands, Steals Vaccines—Oops, Sorry NATO!”
Lieutenant General Doug Chalmers was out here telling Boris it wouldn’t be easy to sneak past the Dutch using small boats—yeah, small boats, like this is a heist from Ocean's Eleven, but with soldiers and syringes. And guess what? Boris, in true Boris fashion, admits he agreed it was totally nuts but couldn’t say it out loud. The man was ready to "go to war" with the EU, all because he thought they were being salty about Britain’s faster vaccine rollout compared to the rest of Europe.
So, if you thought the guy who broke lockdown rules at Downing Street couldn’t surprise us any more, here he is, in his memoirs, spilling the tea about this secret plot to James Bond his way into a Dutch vaccine factory. Diplomatic disaster narrowly avoided, but you’ve got to give him points for sheer audacity. Boris Johnson: World leader, rule-breaker, wannabe vaccine raider.
