Former President George W. Bush called Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelensky “the Winston Churchill of our time” after the two spoke in a videoconference Thursday morning.

Bush posted two images of the meeting on Instagram tagged with a location of the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Texas, showing the 43rd president smiling while seated at a conference table.

The chat came as Ukraine remains under siege by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invading forces.

“I was honored to spend a few minutes talking with President Zelenskyy – the Winston Churchill of our time – this morning,” Bush said in the post.

“I thanked the president for his leadership, his example and his commitment to liberty, and I saluted the courage of the Ukrainian people. President Zelensky assured me that they will not waiver in their fight against Putin’s barbarism and thuggery.”

Zelensky, who posted his own images of the videoconference on his website, said it was “a great honor” to meet Bush.

W is in it for W.

NATO rejected Ukraine's application to join.

Bush is an idiot.

16 or so years ago all this Bush bashing would’ve led to a ban, maybe far less time. Interesting how cons eat their own with a few years.

Interestingly, we don't have access to the posts of that period from the n00bie retread that just signed up on 2021-11-11...

The smirking chimp and code pink mid 2000s sure thought that way. You coulda joined them 12 years ago or so.

"For sure there’s no footage of Churchill playing the piano with his penis"

Zelenskyy did that too? I must have missed that one.

[Radix]

Sure, and Joe Biden is a freaking George Washington.

[miserare]

Sometimes I’d like to tell him to go choke on a pretzel.

I was busy working with our troops in Iraq then, douche bag.

What a stupid comment. You are globalist trash.

[unclebankster]

They’re wrong Churchill wasn’t a citizen of the United States, at anytime in his lifetime.(Hence the honorary award)

However, from a historical perspective we have strong relationships with the people of Britain, Scotland, Ireland, France, & Germany. People from those countries & our country have intermingled for centuries.(Canada & Mexico should be acknowledged, as two other countries we have a special relationship with)

[Houserino]

So you hated Bush back then in the field?

[miserare]

Wow, Allegra...he really stepped in it there.

Totally outed himself.

We all know who our illustrious vets are.

Bush is just being a jerk now. I don't think he has recognized that he is doing that. He is probably so concerned about getting approval from the liberal elite so he doesn't care what the base thinks of him. Also, his wife and his daughters are all liberal so that's not helping either.

At least Bush was an oil man so that was good. He wasn't crazy on the "green" stuff unlike Gore or Kerry if they became President.

[Houserino]

Now she seems to be saying she hated Bush while in Iraq. Or maybe it’s some sort of hatred back towards it? I really don’t know. It’s one or the other I think.

[WinstonSmith1984]

GWB thinks Churchill is the cigar that got shove into Lewinsky...

[DoughtyOne]

GW is the Pee Wee Herman of our day.

[jpsb]

I did not read the article, I just wanted to say that Bush is an idiot.

[jpsb]

Bush was better than Gore and Kerry.

Maybe, maybe not, he sure screwed just about every thing up.

[Radix]

Did Churchill’s mother renounce her American citizenship before Winston was born? If not, then he would be a Citizen, though not ‘Natural Born.’

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Go away George. We don’t care.
