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.

In this bit9 moments
  • 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.
