Former President George W. Bush will hold a public conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky next week, the Bush Institute announced on Thursday.

The conversation is part of the Bush Institute’s conference on the “Struggle for Freedom” on Nov. 16, where Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen will also provide virtual remarks.

The event plans to discuss threats to freedom around the world, particularly noting Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine and concerns about a potential attack on Taiwan by China.

The Republican president’s discussion with Zelensky — a prominent display of support for Ukraine — comes as Republicans in the House have signaled that they plan to pull back on funding to Ukraine if they retake the lower chamber in the midterm elections.

Well, at least he wasn't Gore or Kerry.

Of all the times to play whack a mole, why now Bush?

Gee, that’s reassuring.

“To be clear, there is absolutely no reality-based reason to believe Republicans will meaningfully shy away from full-scale support for arming and assisting the Ukrainian military. The proxy war has only an impotent minority of opposition in the party and every bill to fund it has passed with overwhelming bipartisan support. Some “MAGA” Republicans have claimed that funding for the war would stop if the GOP won the midterm elections, but they were lying; there was never the slightest chance of that happening.”
