Because morale is always so important.

Your capacity to absorb pain.

You know, the iron will that a population has.

These are all hugely important factors anymore.

But numbers do tell a story.

So, fourth year of war.

The first month, literally since I think in three years, Ukraine gained back more territory than it lost.

Now, how much?

116 square kilometers.

That is not a huge amount.

And that's why I say the numbers do tell a story.

But they have fully blunted the Russian offensive and they've been able to push the Russians back.

And they've lost fewer men, relatively speaking, than the Russians have.

Now, how are they doing this?

So we are literally seeing the future.

And boy, if people didn't believe that, all you have to do is just look at this war over the Gulf where they're reenacting what's happening between Russia and Ukraine.

The Ukrainians are doing it with robots and with drones.

And we saw the first, and the Russians, by the way,

story about the Russians too because they're innovating.

And if you'd asked me one country that would have trouble innovating, that would be clunky, that would be lumbering, that would be slow, I would have picked Russia.
