84. What struck me was that King Charles came right out to the steps of the castle to greet Zelenskyy.

Charles has plenty of assistants who could have retrieved Zelenskyy from the doorstep, shown him to an interior room where Charles would be waiting, and the king would then rise to shake his hand. But no, right out to the front steps he came. And somebody must have okayed the presence of a photographer. Details are not neglected by the English Royals. As a gesture of respect for Zelenskyy, that was well played.

Also, I have not seen anyone mention that all the suited and tied guys in the oval office were rude lying traitors. It is a tribute to Zelenskyy's stature that he was thrown out of this White House. History will see this as one of his finest moments. Right up there with "I need ammunition. Not a ride."
