Tim theorizes the Zelenskys are following a Meghan Markle/Harry playbook, using the war to build an international celebrity brand, meeting with Ben Stiller's production company, and preparing to cash out via streaming deals.

In this bit10 moments
  • Avi Yemini's tweet about Zelensky's faked tactical gear photos and Vogue pivot confusing people.
  • Zelensky and his wife are meeting with realtors from Selling Sunset and heading to Hollywood like Meghan Markle and Harry.
  • Tim predicts the Zelenskys will start producing content and some of it might be good because the whole thing has been a production from the beginning.
  • Zelensky used the crisis brilliantly to build an international lifestyle brand, seizing the opportunity like Rahm Emanuel's rule about not wasting a crisis.
  • The Zelenskys have been faking things long enough with the fake flak jacket and helmet photo shoots.
  • Russians won't leave because they're genuinely committed to taking a factory in Donbas, no matter how many people die.
  • A Vogue photo shoot signals Zelensky is not trying to die on the battlefield despite how he presented it earlier.
  • Tim applauds Zelensky's pivot away from dying for his people because modern leaders don't do that—they get streaming deals and sit on couches with Oprah.
  • Modern leaders from Zelensky to Trump won't go down with the ship because they've created other things.
  • The brilliant idea at the beginning was that Zelensky might actually be on the front lines, which would be unimaginable for American leaders.
