“So they changed the colours of his vestments. So what? Have you seen what he looks like the rest of the time? Virtually every Child of Prague figurine I’ve ever seen looks like what would happen if all of the Elfs on the Shelfs got together and elected a Pope.” Surrealing in the Years:

Zelenskyy is now fighting on two fronts - against Russia, which wants Ukraine's lands, and the Trump administration, which wants Ukraine's resources. My interview on Morning Ireland ... www.rte.ie/radio/radio1...
