He compares the public's excitement over grainy boat explosion footage to the earlier sudden national obsession with Ukraine, noting how little Americans actually knew about either country before being told to care.

In this bit7 moments
  • Boomers love grainy videos of boats being blown up in countries they didn't know they were mad at.
  • Ukraine was suddenly America's greatest ally, but before the invasion nobody had heard of it—it was just Hunter Biden and nepo baby crackheads getting contracts at Ukrainian gas companies.
  • Tim's view: the U.S. weirdly obsessed over including Ukraine in NATO, instigated a bit, and then Russia invaded—a bloody war egged on by weapons manufacturers in America and Europe.
  • Ukrainian flags appeared all over Beverly Hills and LA, and Tim was genuinely surprised by how close the relationship apparently was; he hadn't known about it before.
  • Now Tim is equally surprised that Venezuela is suddenly a major threat to America and responsible for all the drugs, when he thought it was Mexico or China.
  • The U.S. now has 11 warships and 15,000 troops in the Caribbean as Venezuelan tensions escalate.
  • Drugs are a real problem; drug addicts are stabbing their parents in Long Island delis, so the Venezuela angle allows America to do what it does.
