Donald Tusk is no Barack Obama. Earlier this week, the Polish prime minister posted a mysterious link to a YouTube video on his Twitter account. That clip featured a snippet of none other than Tusk singing The Beatles' 1968 hit "Hey Jude."
As far as singing goes, Tusk doesn't even hold a candle to his American counterpart, who famously pulled off a decent rendition of Al Green. Tusk is off-pitch and bursts out laughing toward the end, making for an embarrassing, if somewhat endearing performance:
So why is Tusk singing a song that Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon's son Julian to comfort him after the child's parents divorced? Given Tusk's recent political moves, the episode is a little confounding.
With Russian troops looming across Poland's eastern border, Tusk has been playing up his hawkish side in recent weeks. He's warned that Polish children may be unable to attend school if Russia is allowed to once more dominate Poland. He's made appearances in front of images of F-16 fighter jets while addressing Polish and American troops. On Monday, he proposed that Europe form an energy union to reduce its dependence on Russia.
