Had Zelensky an unreasonably good grasp of American culture, he could have retorted with half the lyrics from Johnny Cash’s ‘The Man in Black.’
It was a protest song against the Vietnam War, the mistreatment of the poor and imprisoned.
selected lyrics
Well, you wonder why
I always dress in black
Why you never see
Bright colors on my back
And why does my appearance
Seem to have a somber tone?
Well, there’s a reason for the things
That I have on
…
I wear the black in mournin’
For the lives that could have been
Each week we lose
A hundred fine young men
…
I wear it for another
Hundred thousand who have died
Believin’ that we all
Were on their side
…
Ah, I’d love to wear a rainbow
Every day
And tell the world
That everything’s okay
But I’ll try to carry off
A little darkness on my back
Till things are brighter
I’m the man in black
But he did call The Orange shit gibbon a bitch in another language. So that’s a huge win
Its ‘Cyka’ (cyrillic) or ‘Suka’ in both Russian and Ukranian, right?
I’m not sure, I just hope it’s true
Johnny Cash started wearing black so he wouldn’t have to wash his clothes often on tour.
Whether or not thats true, he came up with a damn good post hoc rationalization for it.
Imagine a shallow, demented, incontinent old man who’s never played with a full deck of cards in his life telling someone, “you don’t have the cards”
The self restraint of Zelenskyy to avoid saying, “get Fucked loser” is monumental.
All I see is a great president dressed appropriately for the office of his country and a fat orange beluga whale in a suit.
Don’t insult beluga whales that way.
Man without suit meets suit without man.
