This quote is going to be in all the texts regarding the Russian invasion

Lol, what a great line!

Once again I would like to apologize to President Zelenskyy on behalf of the 49% of my fellow voters who decided a corrupt, incompetent, demented rapist was a great idea.

Thank you for being able to roll with it while we get our #%@ s**t together.

Progressives, can you meet me on camera 3?

That moment you're reminded that, oh yeah, this guy was a comedian back in simpler times.

Its not even his comedic acting background.

Zelenskyy has charisma. Contrast that with a senile lunatic who almost definitely had shit his pants by this point in the interview and...

I reckon there's correlation there, but causation is inverse of what the the parent comment suggested:

He was a pretty good (from what I've seen) comedian because he was charismatic, not charismatic because he was a comedian

Of course I personally still can't get over the penis piano playing lmao. I wish more countries had the balls to vote for someone like that.

He had some side splitters in his interview with Letterman as well, you know someone's witty as fuck when they can make jokes not in their native language

That's a great joke.

I'm not even sure it was a joke. Didn't look like he was kidding at all.

Dry humour at its best. Delivery is king in comedy.

Right, I get all that, but I don't think he was joking about this. I don't think he or his fellow countrymen are joking about these things. I wouldn't anyway.

🤷‍♂️ What do I know though.

It can be two things

So he's joking and not joking?

Yes. Sometimes the truth is funny.

I guess that's possible by telling a truth in a joking manner

I think you've misunderstood. I'm not saying joking needs to be saying something false.

I'm saying he wasn't trying to be funny.

If everything he said was true, and it was funny, does that contradict each other?

I guess everyone is misunderstanding me.

I'm not saying he was joking as in saying something that wasn't true. I'm just saying he wasn't trying to be funny.

It's not a joking matter.

When did he say this? Is this real?

edit: Damn you're quick, 26 minutes ago

Donald Trump says he has pushed back on requests from Vladimir Putin to hold potential peace talks in Moscow.

"One of the things that I talked to [Putin] about was, where would you want to meet? And he said, ideally in Moscow," Trump said, adding that he rejected the idea as it "just doesn't work".

"But he'll meet and Zelenskyy is going to meet and something's going to happen," says Trump. "It's going to be positive."

The US president adds that he hopes a meeting with the two sides will happen "soon".

He then turns to Zelenskyy and asks: "Would you go to Moscow?"

"It's difficult, there's a lot of Ukrainian drones there," Zelenskyy jokes, to laughter from those in the room.

The cool thing about drones is they only hit enemies. Usually.

Well Ukrainian drones at least.

Unlike certain air defense systems.

I'd visit the flat sheet of glass that will be where Moscow is but only briefly due to exposure limits.
