This guy just rocks the look.

1. 'I don't need a ride. I need ammunition.'

[Deuxcents]

2. Can't imagine the sacrifices that he and his country have and still are making.

I’m an armchair observer but I think he has been baptized by fire and has become his county’s best advocate for winning back their freedom, which I hope is very soon. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦

[Earthrise]

4. I'm eager to see him in action after a fair resolution has been reached.

Meaning... if any leader deserves to get to enjoy the "after" it's Zelensky.

[Deuxcents]

5. Agree

[2naSalit]

3. Wish I knew...

where to buy one too. Looks like the kind I am trying to find.

6. Do you have an Android - isn't there a function where you can circle something in a picture

and you'll see the results of a search for similar/same items for sale?

[2naSalit]

8. Nope...

Don't know how to do that. I don't use the browser on my phone. It's a phone so it makes and takes calls and text, that's it. Everything else is disabled, by choice.

Even if I did find it online somehow, I would need to get it from a physical store... not an online shopper.

[Earthrise]

13. Respect! I don't have that type of phone and if I did, I'd turn it off -

Advertising is omnipresent. The ability to circle something and buy it seconds later is insane.

7. found this with a quick search

Can't vouch for the site.

9. My security...

Program has a warning for it and won't let it open on my device, I'm okay with that.

Thanks for trying.

[ornotna]

14. Strange

My security is pretty beefy and didn't give me any warnings. Running Bitdefender Total security.

Hope you find what you're looking for.

[2naSalit]

15. I will eventually...

Finding things is an adventure sometimes.

16. Cool, thanks!

20. Sabre Jacket 2.0

This is the company that makes them:

21. Looks like the one!

22. It's pricey

Reviews say the zippers aren't attached very well. They're glued-in instead of sewn-in. As a seamstress, that makes me mad. For $300 those zippers should be glued and sewn.

Anyway, here's some jackets from the Ukrainian Military/Tactical brand M-TAC:

23. Sure is...

I'll be looking for it at the discount outlets at some point. Not in immediate need but looking to replace my current jacket before long. I don't buy new stuff very often but keep a supply of appropriate outdoor gear since I live in an all seasons location, though most of my outdoor stuff is winterwear.

11. These are similar:

I just searched for zelensky jacket, but a search for M-Tac jacket or ukrainian tactical jacket should show up a few options.

18. Very cool!

Thanks!

12. Interesting story this guy...political gadfly becomes president.

Sort of reminds me of Vaclav Havel's coming to power in the former Czechoslovakia.

[orangecrush]

17. It would be like Stephen Colbert

Becoming President and leading us through a war.

Both comedians.

Hard to imagine.

He is certainly the man for the times.

[pecosbob]

19. I was searching for the right frame for my thoughts...something about times making the man.

Serendipity, synchronicity, who knows? He certainly rose to the occasion.
