Tim describes how a media/political consensus forms around Putin as a psychotic dictator despite little evidence of aggressive wars, then pivots to mocking Macron for suddenly threatening to send NATO troops and demanding Crimea back, contrasting it with typical French character.
- The consensus on Vladimir Putin is built by Hollywood, media, and institutions, not evidence.
- Over 20 years since 9/11, there isn't much evidence of Putin constantly waging wars of aggression.
- Taking over a country and installing a puppet government isn't easy—the U.S. failed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
- Macron and France have suddenly decided Ukraine must take back Crimea to end the war.
- Macron said he couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be French or NATO troops on the ground, then walked it back.
- France doesn't have the drive to be heroes—they prefer food, culture, and sex, which is actually nice.
- A draft would fail in America because large swaths of the country are fat cowards who would run away.
- Seeing fat people run from a fight during a draft would be demoralizing and dispiriting for the entire country.
- Someone got to Macron and made him turn aggressive, or something is being held over his head.
