Zelensky in the oval office last February certainly reminded me the school yard.
- wredcoll 1y agoWas that the one where the reporters weren't allowed to criticize trump so they talked about zelensky's clothes instead.
- myvoiceismypass 1y agoI believe the vice president did not think Zelensky gave enough thank-yous too at this meeting.
- 0xDEAFBEAD 1y agoI saw this interesting Youtube video from an anti-Putin Russian liberal which analyzes the Oval Office video leading up to the clip that went viral. He actually ends up blaming Zelensky for repeated violations of diplomatic protocol which lead to the famous clash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzmk_0xzCA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWzmk_0xzCA Ultimately my takeaway is that diplomatic protocol can seem stuffy, but it exists for a very good reason. Tiptoeing around everyone's ego might seem excessive, but it's way cheaper than e.g. fighting a needless war. Hard to blame Zelensky for not knowing protocol when he was a comedian elected as an outsider candidate, of course.

- GJim 1y agoPlease stop spouting Russian propaganda. Consider Zelensky's correct outfit when meeting royalty (green fatigues). https://www.news.com.au/world/europe/uk-politics/ukraines-zelensky-asks-allies-for-fighter-jets-on-uk-visit/news-story/d2d74b475149284448aa31249b6ea513 https://www.news.com.au/world/europe/uk-politics/ukraines-ze... King Charles was honoured.
