  1. They all dress in the most formal dress of their culture, surely you're not serious about this?! Zelensky looks like he's just come from the gym.

  2. @hellothere6399 He just came from a high end hotel room. I just worked a 12 hour day, I wont be going out to dinner later in my muddy work boots.

  3.  @ChrisKazi-ut7vs  So we are holding Elon to the "standards" of a President, now?

  4. You've never been to a business meeting. Zelensky was disrespectful to show up in his pyjamas.
    12
  5. He wears the formal dress of his culture, Zelensky looks like he's going for a jog.. surely you're not this slow!?
    12
  6. So because his country is at war, he cant dress appropriately for a business meeting? Is that your point? Of course you had to somehow wedge Musk in there as well...

  7. If you're going to one of the most important meetings of your life, would you wear your pyjamas?
    7
  8. Dressing for the occasion is a sign of respect, but you can't expect basement dwellers to understand these things. They've never had a job, or been to an event that didn't serve doritos as a main course.

  9. And?

  10.  @dewdewaman6095  He's in a meeting, not going for a jog. Dress appropriately, you are the president of an nation.
    4
  11. He looks like he's dropped past on his way to the gym. Not respectful.

  12.  @tom.q  The king wears the formal attire of his culture. Are you saying pyjamas are the formal attire of the Ukrainian people?
    4
  13. No, he's in a meeting and should dress appropriately as a sign of respect for those he's meeting with.
    4
  14. You've never been to a business meeting, so how could you understand.
    4
  15. Zelensky is dressed like a low tier slavic loan shark.
    4
  16. It's a meeting with a very powerful man to ask him for money and help, and you think showing up in a track suit is appropriate? You may not grasp this, but it is a sign of respect to dress appropriately for the situation.

  17. No, it's not odd, he's not president of a nation attending an important meeting representing his countrymen.
    3
  18.  @JensVerstrepen-k5r  And if US steps aside, the country is gone within 24 hours, this is likely worthy of a little respect, yes? If he is so worried about his people, why is he not making a deal to end the war?
    3
  19.  @brianna094  Pyjamas are not traditional Ukrainian dress attire.. come on, now, buddy..
    3
  20. You do understand that if Trump stops protecting this guy, his entire country is gone in 48 hours, right?!
    3
  21.  @thomast6851  That's not how negotiations work, especially not when negotiating from a position of weakness. They're getting a deal where they get paid for minerals and have money to rebuild their country. To go with this, people stop dying. The thing is, if you don't have any power, you cannot expect to "win" on a deal like this. It's a good deal, he should take it.

  22.  @ronaldshiffman9171  It's the truth, bud. Even if you don't like it.
    2
  23. Saudi Prince wears the dress attire of his culture. Pyjamas are not the dress attire of the Ukrainian people.
    2
  24. I wish more people could understand this.
    2
  25.  @Joker-u3f3j  No, he is absolutely correct, you just don't understand etiquette.
    2
  26. I noticed, so did anyone else who has had to dress appropriately for an important meeting.
    1
  27. If he's thinking that, he has chit for brains.

  28. See how that goes at work tomorrow... oh wait, you don't work.

  29.  @212days  Approval, or respect for how one presents themselves to the world?
    1
  30. @RevolutionibusOrbiumCoelestium Maybe we need more ice cream related questions?
    1
  31. "Battle-weary" hahaha, he just came from a high end hotel room paid for by the people he's sitting there in his pyjamas with.
    1
  32. Surely you can grasp the difference between a President and a citizen?
    1
  33.  @scs101-g7q  Ahhhh so it's TDS we're dealing with here. Gotcha. Anything from one side cannot be faulted, anything from the other is bad on principal alone. This mindset is the reason why we cant hold rational discussion.
    1
  34. Respect for those you are meeting with.
    1
  35. He should show solidarity by dressing appropriately for the "battlefield" he is currently "fighting" on, and try to actually end the war so his countrymen stop suffering.
    1
  36. He acts like one.
    1
  37.  @fds7476  You mean aside from fund his entire frivolous war effort, and stop Russia from walking up to his front door?
    1
  38. He came from a high end hotel room being paid for by the people he's sitting with.
    1
  39. Elon is not President of Ukraine, or any other nation.
    1
  40. Those people have never had a job, so they don't understand appropriate attire.
    1
  41. Yes, because a president irons his own shirts...............
    1
  42. It's business attire. You wear it to conduct business as a sign of respect to those you wish to conduct business with. He looks like he's going to the gym.
    1
  43. This is not traditional dress attire of the Ukrainian people, so your point is built on a false premise.
    1
  44. Is Elon the President of a war torn country asking for money and protection? You're deranged to bring him up.
    1
  45. Is Elon the President of a country sitting down with the president of another country to discuss ending a war? Fascinating that you draw these as parallel.
    1
  46. Apparently not to Zelenskyy.
    1
  47. Sure, and America can decide not to protect whoever they want. See how that works?
    1
  48. He's not a bully, he's protecting this man, and the man insulted him in his own home. You being a teacher has nothing to do with this, and I would expect a teacher to at least know a sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.
    1
  49.  @user-dd5eh5lu3o  Citizen in a casual briefing / President of foreign nation asking for money and the lives of American soldiers... same thing in your mind? This is nothing more than unhinged libs saying "bUt eLoN".
    1
  50. Ready for what? Do you think he's going to the front lines at any moment?
    1
  51. Grown ups wear suits to important meetings.
    1
  52. The issue is you put others before your own people. You cannot do anything from a position of weakness.
    1
  53.  @1967dq  People with respect care. Showing up to a meeting in your gym gear is disrespectful.
    1
  54. Show up in gym gear to a business meeting and you wont be taken seriously by serious people.
    1
  55.  @kcoats01  He came from a high end hotel room, not the front lines. Appropriate attire for the occasion. He looks like he's dropped past on his way to the gym.
    1
  56. No, him showing up to a meeting in his pyjamas was incredibly disrespectful.
    1
  57. Of couuurse you blame other peoples wars on the US.. What is new.
    1
  58. Haha libs are unhinged.
    1
  59. Because he's going to an important meeting to save his nation. A meeting in which he has no power, is asking for money and protection from people who had the respect to attend the meeting in appropriate attire.
    1
  60. He's never seen a trench.
    1
  61. When he's the President of a war torn nation begging for money and protection, I guess..
    1
  62. Asking this question shows your lack of intelligence, as well as your extreme biases.
    1
  63. Show up to work tomorrow in your pyjamas, when your boss asks why you are wearing pyjamas, tell them it's none of their business. Oh wait, you don't work.. this is why you don't understand appropriate attire. Never mind.
    1
  64. So, you don't understand that it is disrespectful to rock up to a meeting in your pyjamas?
    1
  65. Then maybe he should actually work towards peace instead of demanding more bullets?!
    1
  66.  @bobhubson8511  Elon is not President of a nation.
    1
  67. America wont be invaded because of Trump. This may be hard to grasp from your basement with someone else paying your bills for you.
    1
  68. He could always do it on his own if the people who are protecting him are so "foolish".
    1
  69. Musk is no the president of a nation. It's strange this needs to be pointed out to so many people.
