\u201cThe result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Ukraine,\u201d Bush said.<\/p>\n

The former U.S. President also compared Volodymyr Zelensky to Britain\u2019s wartime leader Winston Churchill.<\/p>\n

Bush\u2019s remarks have since gone viral on social media, gathering criticisms.<\/p>\n

Recall that Bush as the President in 2003 led an invasion of Iraq over weapons of mass destruction that were never found.<\/p>\n

The prolonged conflict killed hundreds of thousands of people and displaced many more.<\/p>\n
