He describes the two extreme American reactions to the war: those who love Putin because he's "not woke," and those eager for a no-fly zone or nuclear escalation to prove support for Ukraine.
- Pro-Putin strongman fans believe he's cool because he's restoring a white Christian nation while being devoutly religious, unlike the godless West with drag queens reading books.
- Tim notes these Putin supporters don't care that Russians have no money and die at 60, as long as he's not woke.
- The other camp celebrates the deaths of women, children, elderly people, and displacement as justified because it avoids woke Oscar speeches.
- Invading a country with tanks is presented as the least woke thing you could do.
- The nuclear war enthusiasts push for a no-fly zone that would bring America into direct conflict with Putin.
- Tim describes the middle position: arming Ukraine creates a Syria-like situation in Eastern Europe for a potential 10-year civil war.
- Some people want to push Putin into a corner with isolation and sanctions to see if he'll actually use nuclear weapons.
