Should Zelensky be allowed to attend Pope Francis' funeral?

There are a few posters here i suspect write from the basement of the Kremlin.
and it seems that actual money has to go more and more into the war effort, thus causing the trolls to now be paid only in vodka.
 
It's a fine balance. He has to outdress Joe Biden, but stay short of Donald Trump. He also has to shave.

Why does he have to shave? Are beards not allowed in Vatican City?
 

You just described Trump. He wants to set back America to pre revolution days and become king.
 
Donald Trump's 'major blunder' as he pays respect at funeral of Pope Francis

One person wrote on X: "Trump and Melania - the only two stepping over the rug where Pope Francis coffin sits when paying respect, jeeeezzz!"

Another added: "OK, so I'm not the only person who noticed Trump and Melania stepping on the rug. I'm sure they were given instructions to stay off the rug. But, nooooo!"
 

Should Zelensky be allowed to attend Pope Francis' funeral?​

So he attended. It was expected he would attend. No prominous World event must pass away without his sad muzzle printed on it for the history.
.The disastrous Oval Office visit comes to mind, where Zelensky outdid himself in rudeness, ingratitude and entitlement.
Disastrous or not disastrous.. but....
And behold! Cold winds are already blowing in the direction of Russia...
So look ! It looks like old Puttie is taping dear Donnie along.. how sad!
Buying more chipses with beer and preparing for the next scene of the magnificent play (with title "A war in Ukraine"), the next scene:
a great WRATH of the president TRUMP!
 
So he attended.

Putin didn't attend. He couldn't.

Italy would have had to arrest Putin and ship him to the Hague to stand trial for war crimes.

He could have flown directly into Vatican City via helicopter. It's an independent country not subject to the laws of Italy. Although it is currently in between Monarchs.

True enough unfortunately. The Vatican is not party to the Rome Statute and thus not obliged to arrest Putin whereas Italy is.

That said, I'm not sure a helicopter ferrying a war criminal around would be granted permission to enter Italian airspace.

And accounting for Putin's paranoia, I seriously doubt he would even consider flying in a chopper beyond Russia's borders.

He has my permission to attend in a blacks suit, black shirt, black tie, black shoes. He should also be clean shaven. And he should kiss the ring of every Cardinal present.
Not sure if anyone has responded to this gem (I haven't read all six pages), did Trump have your permission to show up in a blue suit and not kiss any rings?
 
BS. But Dandolo approved, so there's that.

Trump was well dressed
 
And during their Vatican confab, Trump and Zelenskyy agreed on a minerals deal.
