The former US president gave his description of the leaders of Ukraine and Russia.
Former US President George W. Bush believes that the current president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyi, is so “tough” that he could be from Texas. The ex-leader of America said this while speaking in a video chat during the “Yalta Conference” held today in Kyiv, writes Politico .
“Well, he’s a tough guy, he’s a real Texan,” said Bush, who grew up in Texas.
Regarding the figure of Vladimir Putin, Bush expressed the opinion that he is trying to build a new empire, so he may not stop at the invasion of Ukraine. If Putin goes ahead, then, according to Bush, the US will have to help countries such as Poland, Lithuania and Latvia.
“The situation in Ukraine is important for the security of the United States. The United States should still support people like Zelensky when they show courage,” the former president said.
Despite this, according to Bush, over time it will be more and more difficult to convince the Americans that helping Ukraine is in their interests.
“First of all, Ukraine needs to fight corruption. The latest changes in the government showed me that Zelensky wants to do it,” Bush said.

Was going along fine and then the dumb corruption comment.🙄
But curruption remains a pain in Ukraine’s ass. To win Ukraine needs to defeat both the invaders and curruption, period!
Not saying it shouldn’t be addressed, but all countries have it to one degree or another. Ukraine has come a long way in a lot of areas, so pisses me off when corrupt individuals like himself “harp” on it. Kinda like a guy with a plank in his eye trying to get the speck out of his friends eye thing. Hypocrisy!
Texans have Anglospanish/portuguese blood, not turkish. Sorry for my comment, but sometimes i need to shoot right from my liver. 😇
Where was GWB Texas toughness in 2008 when Georgia and Ukraine waited for their NATO maps? And then again a couple of months later when Putler punished Georgia for wanting to join NATO? Needless to say, the next administration came in and showed even less toughness and gave Putler and Lavrov a fucking reset button and an invitation to invade and occupy the Crimea. Now look where we are today. Everything is Putler’s fault but our leaders did not learn from history and have ALL been wrong about the tiny KGB zit.
