There are so many possible scripts that could be based on what has happened since 2022 in Ukraine. There would be no need for exaggeration of the heroism, bravery, and loss. The only issue might be that people would not believe it actually happened.

From Zelenskyy, a previous comedic actor refusing to flee, "I need ammunition, not a ride," to the defense of Snake Island "Russian warship, go fuck yourself," to all the brave women who volunteered, the farmers towing abandoned Russian tanks, the constant drone attacks on residential and commercial areas, the 40,000 stolen Ukrainian children, this most recent attack on Russian air bases...

If this was a movie, I would probably think it was a bit much myself, but this all happened. We witnessed it.

"Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!"




An actor who's last role was the lead in a sitcom about an ordinary citizen who becomes the unlikely president of Ukraine.


... is not particularly more surprising than the US president who starred in "Bedtime for Bonzo"
