Bush has denounced that “Russian elections are rigged” and that “political opponents are imprisoned or eliminated to participate in the electoral process.”
“The result is an absence of a control system in Russia and the decision It’s one man to launch a totally unwarranted and brutal invasion of Iraq“, he added.
“I mean Ukraine“, the former president has nuanced. At this time, Bush has said in a lower voice “Iraq too” and he added that “he is 75 years old”, to the laughter of those present.
The war in Iraq was launched by Bush himself in 2003, two years after the September 11 attacks and amid criticism of the lack of justification and international support.
During his speech, the former US president has also described s to the president of Ukraine, Volodimir Zelensky, as “a nice guy” and as “the Churchill of the 21st century”, according to the Fox News television network. “
The way countries hold elections reflects the way leaders treat their people and the way nations behave toward other nations. Nowhere is it more clearly seen than in the Ukraine”, he has settled.
