In the USA there's this extremely delicate dance one does to try (invariably without success) to avoid accusations of racism.amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-3049762574930353482023-02-11T06:35:02.867-08:002023-02-11T06:35:02.867-08:00OTOH, Mike, have you considered how you would reac...OTOH, Mike, have you considered how you would react if the picture were captioned: "Jet-fighter ace RAF Squadron Leader Jatinder Kumar shows President Zelensky his favourite plane"?

Otherwise he is performing the exact same duties, in the exact same way, as any other politician holding the same position. In any case, absolutely none of this is apparent in the photograph, unless maybe there's some body language thing about an entitled and clueless pretender which I fail to see, alas.David Smithhttp://designartcraft.com/photo/hirise.htmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-47159501284346589442023-02-10T16:48:24.936-08:002023-02-10T16:48:24.936-08:00Much as I like zelensky over sunak, I think this m...Much as I like zelensky over sunak, I think this might be debatable.
