I can’t find a full version of the call, but Vovan and Lexus – kind of like a Russian Opie and Anthony – prank called George W. Bush and talked to him for some extended period of time while pretending to be Vladimir Zelensky.
Some quite startling admissions here.
Looks like Vovan and Lexus pranked George W. Bush, convincing him he was speaking to Zelensky

The most telling thing is that this is apparently really how world leaders talk to each other. Bush doesn’t seem to think it’s weird.
Why is George W. Bush all of a sudden back?
Doesn’t that seem weird?
I guess this is an attempt to get boomers to support the war against Russia, but I mean – don’t all the boomers hate Bush now because of Donald Trump?
Everything these people are doing is just weird.
But I so loved that clip of Bush saying Russia invaded Iraq.
