George W. Bush calls Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky the ‘Winston Churchill of our time’
New York Post ^ | May 5, 2022 | Mark Lungariello

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.

Everything old is new again.

Erroll Flynn used to do that at Hollywood parties back in the ‘forties.

Of course, Flynn made a much larger impression.

Fortissimo, not pianissimo, like the little nebbish from Ukraine.

Shouldn't Bush be still looking for those WMDs?

That talk would’ve gotten you banned on here and praised on DU. Times change I guess. In 10 years maybe we’ll see pro-Trump talk banned on here and anti-biden talk praised on DU.

Actually, I think that’ll happen.

Bush got US into a 20 year war, Gore didn’t.

So you’re blatantly saying you’d prefer Gore as president in 2000.

It wasn’t till Trump started campaigning for potus and Trump started pulling back the curtain on Bush revealing him for the globalist he is.

Trump opened my eyes on all the Bush family.

It never ceases to amaze me everything that man has accomplished.

I truly believe Trump should be chiseled on the right hand of George Washington on Mt. Rushmore.

When you signed up in 2004, would you have bashed W and the Iraq war?

Or will you just do so now when it apparently is a fad to do so on here?

He’ll be known as the Winston Churchill of the 21st century that wanted global thermonuclear war and got it.

I don’t feel strongly about Ukraine, but notice he doesn’t comment on Roe V. Wade, yet he was a big anti-abortion politician?

I do admire W Bush for giving up the booze but this comment makes we wonder if he’s been hitting it again lately.

not a fad to me dude. W is an internationalist moran, clear to anyone with eyes to see, ears to hear, at this point... Trump helped expose that to all of us who are willing to question the establishment narrative. In 2004, the war was not yet endless.

Incredibly, there are some here that agree with him.

That Zelenksy is Churchill and Ukraine a model of freedom and democracy may be the biggest lies told since "if you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it. Period. EOS."

Not very good screening by Zelensky’s people. W is an ex-politician who is unpopular in his own party, has no chance of influencing the other party (which holds 2 of the 3 branches of govt) and is too damn stupid to ever be appointed a special envoy. No benefit to Zelensky for being a prop in a Bush photo op.

So you hated Bush back then in the field?

You started a sentence with “So” and followed it with your own stupid bullfauci.

Typical leftist moronial crap.

You aren’t very clever, retread troll.

He might be dry but his brain damage is profound.
