Tim continues on the Ukraine war, noting North Korean soldiers fighting for Russia, comparing the endless escalation to a TV show that's overstayed its welcome and to parents who can't let a fight go, and questioning why Americans should care about Donbas and Luhansk.

In this bit9 moments
  • Tim questions what national security interest Americans have in the Donbas and Luhansk regions of Ukraine.
  • The claim that Putin will march through Europe and knock over Poland is not based in reality, and a NATO country attack would trigger a NATO response.
  • Biden drops opposition to Ukraine firing US missiles deep inside Russia following North Korea's entry into the war.
  • Tim compares the escalation to the end of a long-running show where someone just yells 'wrap it up'—people want this wound down, not amplified.
  • Trump won partly because people ask why the US keeps giving Ukraine money instead of wrapping things up and moving on.
  • Tim rejects the argument that North Korea deploying soldiers to Russia's Kursk region 'demanded a response.'
  • Russia fired an ICBM that wasn't carrying a nuke but could, and this nuclear brinksmanship makes no sense to him.
  • Tim wonders why the US is at the precipice of major escalation over northern regions of a country most Americans cannot spell.
  • This is why people hate Tulsi Gabbard—because she won't play along with the escalation logic.
