2024: Ukraine has captured more and more russian territory.
2025: Ukraine bombs Moscow.
2029: Danny DiVito drunk drives tank in siberia.
Look man, the future won't ever make sense until you get there. If I saw you on the streets of NYC on 09/05/01, pointed to the skyline and said "Within a week, that skyline will look very different. There will be two less buildings. Completely gone!" You'd have said I was nuts. You'd tell me it would take YEARS to plan a deconstruction of a major building like that. Let alone two. No way they would be gone within a week! And yet....
So, I can't explain how we get there. I'll just say you should prepare for 5 years from now Danny Divito storming through siberia on a tank, drunk driving. And it totally makes sense at the time.
