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 may or may not be that good, but criticism of him whatsoever used to be verboten in conservative circles.
Read his screen name slowly.
“W may or may not be that good, but criticism of him whatsoever used to be verboten in conservative circles.”
for that to have changed is a positive,a step in the right direction. fiscal conservatives support 9 trillion dollar pointless wars?
“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.”
I liked his energy policies, so IMO Bush is better than democrat Presidents.
I also supported getting Bin Laden & getting revenge for 9-11.
However, his asshole behavior by not supporting and going to the Republican Convention in 2016, was a “bye bye Bush moment” for me.
Bush is irrelevant in the Trump MAGA era.
So that means you deep down hated W? It’s just interesting to me how hard right sights just go with the flow instead of having any real backbone. I guarantee W bashing woulda been gone earlier.
LOL - look at Susie So, thinking she’s being so clever by starting sentences with “So” and following it with her own sewage.
All the leftist moronials do that, just like they overuse and misuse the word “literally.”
Oh, I know. I picked up on House RINO a while back. And again, she thinks just just too clever for us. LOL
You didn’t explain or address the point at all. You could deny is, accept it, or clarify it. All you did was attack the message, which I’ll bet you can only do again.
“W may or may not be that good, but criticism of him whatsoever used to be verboten in conservative circles.”
Hey block head😀
You & your democrat buddies at Democrat Underground & Daily Kos always hated the Bush family.
Now 75% of Free Republic agrees with you😀
You are a winner😀 Trump 2024 America First MAGA😀
Yeah, DU and Daily Kos and Truth Out and so on now can shake hands with freepers on agreement on this.
Is that supposed to be a good thing?
That’s where he lost me too. And he has said some pretty stupid and vituperative things since then. I was already giving him the side-eye for his bromance with Clinton.
You’re not worth the effort, Susie So.
There’s a reason I don’t belong to sites like DU. I learned a long time ago that trying to have a rational discussion with a liberal is an exercise in futility. I don’t waste my time with you leftists. I just amuse myself by poking fun at you.
Calling me a ‘liberal’ is the stupidest and most easy out. I’m hardly so, in fact I’ve pointed out that your anti-W side is just so.
Amen to that!
And I’ve seen it all, accused of being a woman too. Hah!
Go away, Susie So. Liberal trolls are fun to chew on for a few minutes, but now you’ve just become tiresome. 🥱
Heh, darthvader on here said he’d send the DIA (I guess government) out to get me for a felony for goofing on him in a freepmail, so whatever you say.
“ Bush was better than Gore and Kerry. ”
No difference besides a few cultural cues.
Glad you like Bush after all the hate from democrat/urban/left-wing sources.(You’re a liberal BTW)
However the Bush family are “washed up” in the current Republican Party.
You won’t see the Bush name winning elections for quite some time.
Sucks for you democrat *geldings this November😀
*This use of gelding is for anybody of the male gender that votes democrat.
I thought W was decent, voted for him twice. Voted for Trump twice too. Neither are epic gods of perfection lol which I think you want, but at least W got 2 terms.
