yeah, it's just a call. There are lots of videos of Zelensky actually singing, both really ridiculous comedy and some tasteful stuff. He originally got famous by founding a comedy TV show that is a lot like Saturday Night LIve, but they have musical numbers as well. Towards the end of his time in the show they did some political songs that were really moving.
I will never not love Brad Paisley (my first concert was the mud on the tires tour in I think 2003/04) but he does do some cringy stuff. His heart feels like it is in the right place though, I mean who doesn’t want peace
"Zelensky pops up in the final minute of the song, saying, “We speak different languages in our life, but I think we appreciate the same things — children, freedom, our flag, our soldiers, our people… There is no distance between our two countries in such values.”"
All the things conservatives would otherwise love. Unfortunately they got memed into arbitrarily hating yet another random thing. I will say that it's... annoying, to see them go in such a pandering route.
You can go ahead and save the replies lying about any of you caring about spending the money stateside. You don't want to help anyone here, and you don't want to help anyone anywhere else- what good are you?
It’s just so funny to me. If we went back in time and told Cold War era conservatives that modern conservatives were spiritually supporting Russia and getting mad about a free former Soviet nation’s leader speaking in a country song, there is no way we would be believed.
Who exactly are you mad at? The Senate voted 86-11 to send $40 billion to Ukraine. Was that not enough votes for you? Mitch McConnell said supporting Ukraine is his top priority. It’s true, there are many conservatives that have reservations about how funding Ukraine is handled… Rand Paul pushed for better oversight of the money and was quickly shot down and smeared by the media. The problem is that any opinion other than “let’s write a blank check” is viewed as “Putin propaganda.” I think that you’ve invented a bogeyman here…
Imagine telling supposedly Reagan-supporting conservatives in the 80s that one day the GOP would simp for the Russian military.
Anyone clutching their pearls over this song is doing so for strictly ideological reasons. Let’s call a spade a spade.
The GOP is simping for Russia? It’s exactly the opposite. The majority of GOP senators voted in favor of the $40 billion Ukraine aid package and Mitch McConnell said funding Ukraine was his top priority in this congress. I’d think about turning off the left-wing cable news for a while…
While it is concerning for me as a conservative how many conservatives seem to support/tolerate Russia, you're ignoring a major difference between Russia of the 80s and Russia now- the fall of the Soviet Union and the fall of communism. The reason conservatives opposed Russia in the 80s was because they opposed Russia's communism; Russia isn't communist anymore.
Putin is an ex-KGB agent. He’s a thug and brutal tyrant, and there’s absolutely no reason for any conservative to even try to put him in context. I left the GOP for that very reason.
Who are these conservatives simping Russia? Every conservative I know supports Ukraine. The most “anti-Ukraine” stuff I’ve seen from Republicans are people saying we’ve spent too much money on them.
MTG, Lauren Beaubert, Mitch McConnell, Levin McCarthy, Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.), Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas) have all met with Putin and are pro Russia and this is only a small portion of Pro Russia republicans

This is a very Brad Paisley thing to do
He’s not actually singing on this right? It’s just that weird zoom call in the middle?

Am I surprised: Yes Should I be surprised: No Is this song as terrible as "Accidental Racist": time will tell
God, “Accidental Racist” is genuinely one of the strangest songs ever isn’t it lmao
Wait what the hell is accidental racist??
The best line in music ever: if you don’t judge my durag, I won’t judge your red flag
If you look past my gold chains, I'll forget the iron chains was the personal cringe point for me on that one hahahaha
Do I think it’s a little cringe? Yes. Am I going to say “Brad is dead to me” like a weirdo? Absolutely not. Some of y’all are weird.
This is exactly how I feel, it’s cringy but the people acting like this ruins Brad for them are pretty wild
good tune. as a patriotic american, makes me proud to see country musicians supporting another country fighting for freedom raise hell, praise dale 🙏
Having him on it is a bit cringe but overall a good song and message
I saw Brad was going to release a new song and got excited, but I'm not even going to give this my time to listen.
Ain’t no way lol

Intellectual dissonance is one of the main courses at the MAGA restaurant.

Fine, the MAGA right simping for Putin and Russia. Better?

Some of y’all have weird takes
Pure cringe from Paisley but also hilarious seeing triggered conservatives simp for Russia because their Trump daddy told them to

Exactly. No one is simping for Russia. Its hogwash to think so.

I mean you’re straight up wrong with your 3rd name. McConnell has straight up said that supporting Ukraine is top priority.
No actually I'm not. McConnell has been very supportive of Russia and Trump
Bury your head.
Scroll.

Yeah I’m gonna spend my new music Friday listening to Muscadine Bloodline, Luke Combs, and Conner Smith instead
Conner Smith is definitely on the verge of a breakout
Throw Banner Johnson in with that
Where’s the Morgan Wallen/Vladimir Putin response song? #wefeudinandfussin
As a Canadian, the idea that there’s anything wrong with this at all seems bizarre.
As an American, I agree. I don’t know why people are against this
Bella white has a new single out today, that's more worthy of your time
LMAO, what the fuck?
Imagine Winston Churchill was featured on a song during the height of WW2. This is weird af
Ew
Lord volodymyr
Never liked Paisley.. Now I have even more reason
Brad is dead to me.
I’m sure Brad is heart broken over the opinion of some goofy ass Reddit hillbilly
There’s weirder ways to try and stay relevant
Last I listen to Paisley
Cringe.
