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.

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...

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

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

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)

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.

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.

Bush was better than Gore and Kerry.

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

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