It's cool they gave him a standing ovation. These politicians haven't stood for anything in years.

The difference between a stumbling block and a stepping stone is how high you raise your foot.

Aristophanes was the funny guy in the group
now Pericles was the cautious gentlemen that was careful with words

[BowlerTheHatGuy]

Zelensky is very good at inviting the whole world to the war, but lets stay outside it. Help yes, engage NO.

I'm surprised the comments are switched on. BBC must be desperate.

Your speech can melt hearts but its not logical enough to solve problems..

One thing I can’t get my head around is why is Ukraine so special?? There’s so many other countries that need our help but we seem to turn a blind
Eye towards them?

[kaljordan]
