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.

You picked the wrong person. I can picture Danny DeVito drunkenly driving a tank through Siberia now.

In fact, I'm not entirely convinced he isn't doing that at this exact moment, and you're just trying to distract us from the awesomeness currently going on.

I'm digging this concerted effort for Ukrainian leadership to wear green T shirts. If this keeps up, it will be one of the first piece of cultural clothing to be casual wear.

Cultural clothing? Just to be clear, it’s the approved color for the undershirt worn under the camo blouse in the military. Zelensky is the commander in chief, so he’s wearing military clothing while leading is country during wartime. He has said before that he’ll go back to suits when Russia is defeated. Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by “cultural clothing”.

If this invasion into Kursk gets Ukraine a white peace, then it may be one of the best military gambits in modern history. There's still a long way to go before that though. Putin has been incredibly stubborn in this war. That's why this 3 day special military operation has lasted for 2.5 years. Slava Ukraini.
