00:00:00.000 We have our foreign affairs minister, Melanie Jolie, popping up at a news conference.

00:00:09.740 She's following the liberal tradition of playing dress-up. She's now a wartime leader.
00:00:15.120 She wants to look like the president of Ukraine and sit there in her nice green uniform with the 0.98
