#289 - Live From Ukraine | The Tim Dillon Show

ladies and gentlemen welcome to the tim dylan ukrainian special today uh we
were going to have
a great journalist mark galiati from london who writes about putin and russia
on but he is briefing
the military uh and cannot make it so i with comparatively far less knowledge
about said
issues are going to speak for the hour um we were trying to get an expert we
will potentially get
him at a later date we've had him on the show before he wrote a book called the
vory russia's
super mafia he also wrote a book called what the west gets wrong about putin
and he is one of the
preeminent journalists that has expertise in that region that area we don't
have them couldn't get
them wanted to get them are trying to get them right and hopefully one day we'll
get them
before putin gets them um very sad what's happening in the ukraine if you're a
human being
if the internet has not taken your humanity and it's taken many of your
humanity um if your personal
brand has not eaten you alive and it has for many of you uh if your grift knows
no bounds
um no matter what you think about nato expansion or u.s imperialism or whatever
the cia's misdeeds
the deep state the chronicles of narnia the teachers union whatever whatever
you still have to say
seeing babies being moved from like an icu to like a subway tunnel is um sad it's
a tragedy it's a human
tragedy that's all war is right uh it's not something to celebrate it's not
something to say
this is cool we enjoy this fuck around and find out look putin look at this
that's not the take
if you're a human
being now the vast majority of people on this uh platform are are not human
that's the point of the
internet it's to make you less human and it's working very well kudos to the
designers of that
because what it does is it you you watch tragedies all day and you have no you
get desensitized to it
every day from uh walmart fights to car crashes to beheadings all day every day
it's in your face and you
forget that those are people and there are children you know you see these
waffle house brawls there's
kids sitting there while their parents beat the shit sure it's a goof and it's
fun but then you go
man i wonder what the kids life's gonna be like probably not great but again
you can't you can't dissect
every waffle house video and get in the weeds and start worrying about the
second generation
um but you should at the very least look at an invasion of a country by a
dictator which is what
putin is he's a dictator it you know he invaded a sovereign country and there's
a lot of mayhem and death
and carnage that you're gonna see and the ukrainian people uh are brave and
they're fighting back
and they give a you know unlike people in america who don't care about much
other than themselves and their ability to consume uh other countries have deep
and complex histories
and they care about more than their ability to go to a buffalo wild wings we do
not that is not part of
our thing here um so it's sad to watch all this unfold and yeah i mean just to
give everyone a little
backstory
the ukraine uh if you're if you're if you're not aware of what's happening has
been invaded by russia
we'll start there and the goal of that invasion is regime change of course ukraine
part of the old uh
soviet union nato um kind of the post cold war architecture of how the world is
going to run these um
you know trade alliances military alliances um expanding nato into the region
uh where russia is
uh arming ukraine funding ukraine
potentially admitting them to nato the the discussion of that um was not a good
gl political move it kind
of put russia in a box russia then reacted um in the way that russia a lot of
people feared that russia was
going to react which was to then take back the territory that they feel is
rightfully theirs
um and you can have those conversations and talk about those are facts um how
much of that led to
this decision is uh we don't know you don't you're not there i'm sure it didn't
help but
the idea here the takeaway is not putin's cool that shouldn't be the takeaway
if you are
a human being this is not a cool thing to do it's a brazen you know criminal
act where you have
somebody going into a country decapitating the leadership attempting to um
bombing uh people
murdering civilians not good when we do it was it right when america's done it
not right when we went
into iraq or afghanistan stayed there for 20 years that misadventure uh in the
middle east where we were
it's not no it's not right when when it's done by anybody but it's not cool
i know that a lot of people think it's cool and badass to do you know so this
is a people are happy
about this people's lives in this country have gotten to the point where they
are happy that this
is happening and they're like well it's because the american military they're
too focused on uh trans
people and being a politically correct that's why it's that is that why it's
happening
do you think putin really is convinced that the american military is just like
uh some type of
you know i don't know extension of the lgbtq whatever community do you think
that's what the
intel in russia is telling them do you think they're god i mean it's it's a
very stupid way to look at
things that because the military is struggling with whatever type of i trans
issues that affect this
very small percentage of the military i think they're still focused on the
amount of funding it gets
how big it is its ability its positioning all over the world i you know i don't
think putin is uh
invading the ukraine because he's not worried about america because uh we're
talking about
trans people that's why he that's why he's doing it uh no he's doing it because
he has more nuclear warheads
in any other country in the world and what are we going to do what are we going
to do if we were all
christian theocratic psychopaths who burned gay people at the stake which is
what these people want
you think putin would be like oh it i'm like hey i'm not invading ukraine i'm
not doing it now now i'm
not doing it no they they passed a don't say gay bill in florida i'm not invading
i don't even want
ukraine anymore my main goal was that florida teachers had to out kids as gay
within six weeks
um that's what now i'm not do i don't even i don't have any reason to go into
ukraine now they've
just passed a law in america he convenes everybody they all they're all in moscow
he goes st peter's
but wherever here uh hey guys they just passed a law that biological born males
cannot compete in
female sports do you know what that means no ukraine no we're not going to do
it because now i'm afraid
of them now i fear them i know i have all the nukes but their moral certitude
scares me i'm scared by that that terrifies me see before when they were
talking about trans people
and letting uh trans people swim i knew they were weak but when they flipped it
when they flipped it
and went back to those 19 because if you remember when we had all those 1950s
values we had no problems
with russia you remember that no we didn't have any these are all new problems
we never had
went back before they were trans people or gay people there was never any
issues with ruck ever ever
this is all new in the 50s and 60s you know when everybody was like eating
burgers and smoking
cigarettes and wearing jeans and they were all at the hop everybody was driving
uh 57 chevys and gay
people had to shut up and black people had to shut up and trans people had to
shut up russia loved us
we were like like this i mean so this is the result of that it's the result of
that
it's because that guy made a dumb video with biden which i think is a dumb
video but that uh benito
whatever on uh instagram made some video with biden people going this is why
putin didn't worry about
taking the ukraine it's like putin's never worried about taking the ukraine he's
never worried about
it there is nothing to do with our content trust me putin is not watching our
content
it it's but again it's silly and these are silly times for people and i'm not
saying we we are going
over there and fighting it's not our thing it's not our war this is not
something where we should
be involved everybody who's going no fly zones he must pay he must pay what we're
not in the position
to go and fight russia over the ukraine we have military supremacy if we had to
fight them
over something that we had a genuine interest in we could but we're not
fighting them over
the ukraine that doesn't mean that this is uh you know a fun cool display and
that we should all be
jazzed about it but we're not fighting them over the ukraine you know this is a
this is uh a real problem do you have any updates on what's uh going on over
there so
they held them uh off uh over the night in the capital pretty impressive what
the ukraine really
is yeah yeah kind of impressive to be honest the death count i'm impressed the
death count is much
higher with russia at uh 3 500 troops killed and 200 captured and then ukrainians
it's about uh about
198 dead and the thousands injured but they really held them off kind of losing
they're kind of being
embarrassed at the moment yeah at the moment losing in terms of casualties of
course right yeah interesting
and zelinski's not leaving he's refusing to leave he's still posting videos
right i'm not going anywhere
so right but the the videos are it's horrific it's it's very tough to watch
people who are civilians innocent have done nothing who are living their lives
have to flee a country
you know i can all imagine i can just imagine the sea of youtube comments
you know it's actually good to watch that you know but the other the other side
of it is what are we
going to do i'm not going over there you're not going over there no no one's
going over there nobody
i know is going over there america is a country of cowards um you know as
brought it was a fun uh
tweet where it's not all of us are cowards but a lot uh you know ted cruz you
know there was a storm
in texas he like fled to cancun there was a tweet you know um you know our
elected officials uh you
know when the when covet hits they start insider trading i mean you know nobody
could care less
about this country i mean janice pop has brought up a great point he's like if
people if if you said
that people in america between 18 and 60 cannot leave the country they would
flee they would all
every the vast majority of people would leave and not defend the country so it
is inspiring to see
the ukraine uh do it yeah and there are refugees hungary's taking in people you
know people are
leaving but the people that want to stay and defend yeah there's families there's
women and children and
then there's people and then there's some badass ukrainian that are staying you
know
but you know that are that are i wonder i don't know what the outcome is it's
destabilized the region
forever now for a very long time nobody from ukraine is ever gonna forget this
i mean it's gonna be a
real problem and the the the sane take here folks is that this is very sad and
it is not a positive
development on the world stage that's really it it's not it's not to start
screaming about trump or biden
or or anybody it's really to just say hey we should look at the way that we
potentially contributed to a climate that enabled said things to happen whether
it was funding nato
whatever it was um but there's there's there's nothing to do here except be
upset and be like this sucks
right you know it's it's unfortunate that people are dying now people in america
are so rotten to our
core on both sides of the political aisle and we have so our humanity is almost
all gone it's almost
been taken from us all really truly and we have become demons in this country
political affiliation unimportant and what that has made us do is any human
tragedy that we see we
immediately dig into it and try to like make it someone's fault that we hate
and and excuse it
and not even look at like the human cost and go see see look look
it's
