The disastrous Oval Office visit comes to mind, where Zelensky outdid himself in rudeness, ingratitude and entitlement. The Ukrainian Duce on that occasion acted with all the rudeness his 5' 5" Chaplinesque frame could squeeze out. Disrespected the Oval Office. Disrespected the President. Selected the Vice President for special denigration. It was the good fortune of the American Republic that JD Vance did not let the Slavic Duce get away with it. Trump, Vance, Rubio are all warriors, they struck back hard.
The funeral of Pope Francis is a solemn occasion. Many attendees will be in sober attire. Is Zelensky going to respect the occasion, like the other attendees, and appear in funeral attire? Or is he going to show same disrespect he showed to the Oval Office by appearing in his disrespectful Green Goblin Suit? Then too Z may, to everyone's pleasant surprise, appear clad in black from head to foot.
And it may help too if Z consults with the Vatican in case he intends to bring parting gifts to the funeral. His other gifts to the Vatican on other visits were a profanation. Not intentional. Mainly because the gifts were not reaally for the Vatican. The gifts were statements on his case for war. One gift was the Madonna painted on a bulletproof vest. Another more egregious one was a profanation: an icon of the Madonna and baby Jesus; but with the Saviour blacked out.
President Volodymyr Zelensky might attend Pope Francis's funeral in the Vatican, as the preparations for the ceremony are underway, European Pravda reported on April 22, citing its source.
