And I don't think O'Brien is all that interested in another TV show. It's now been a year and a half since he left his televised show and there is no word about any new endeavor in that regard. I could definitely see his boredom with the format. This seems to be what he prefers now.

Mila is on point about the importance of logistics. My Ukrainian friends say that they have warehouses of supplies in the west, but cannot get it delivered to the east because there is no reliable transportation to bring it where is most needed. On Facebook, there is always someone looking for transportation, whether it is supplies for the front lines or to evacuate someone to a hospital, because the roads are damaged and it's very dangerous. I help by helping the families that have landed here in Canada. My contribution may be small, but if we all chip in a little, we can make a big difference.

This was actually very realistic and not much BS around what's usually going around when people talk about helping other countries in need. Maybe because Mila Kunis is from Ukraine descent, but her take on using people's will to show that they care on social media platforms and such and actually pushing them to move for a realistic cause was very interesting and felt super down to earth. Also acknowledging that people have daily issues to go through and even herself can't keep track with what's going wrong with the world.

Agreed I love how she cut through the bullshit and said it how it is It's what most people are thinking but don't have the balls to say because it's simply not okay to say "that problem is over there and I don't have time to care about it" She understands very well that people are good at heart but for the most part lazy or at least feel helpless to affect any change and therefore love to jump on hashtags and reposting as a way to feel they've done something. She knows exactly how human behaviour works and instead of shaming people for it is instead using that to her advantage to acquire donations to actually make a difference

[@melissinha73]

Not only is she of Ukrainian descent, she was actually born there and lived there as a child. Her immediate family members including herself were the last of her family to actually leave. It was refreshing to actually see a celebrity couple actually make a point of thinking about the logistics and talk openly about it and demonstrate where the funds were going. I think Ashton Kutcher experience with business, anti-trafficking efforts and angel funding really made a difference.

I must say that ever since the war in Ukraine happened I started caring about wars in other places too.

I also have traveled a lot and lived for a long time in both, the USA and Canada. And this whole thing got me thinking: as I care about Ukraine 🇺🇦 so much, at the same time Ukraine war is a far away thing for Africans or Middle Easterns and many other people, the same way any African or Middle Eastern conflict seemed so far away for me living in Europe or North America. Ever since this understanding my lookout changed. I can no longer not care about wars anywhere else.

5:07 where I am from, the local Polish-American community (many of whom are late Soviet era/early post Soviet immigrant families, and have a lot of family and friend contacts in Poland) organized a huge fundraiser. It was spear headed by a family who own a local business. People came to the business on certain days with boxes packed with diapers, baby wipes, soap and toiletries, warm socks, etc And then they purchased things at the fundraiser to pay for these items to be shipped to contacts in Poland for Ukrainian refugees. You had to wait in a long line (on one day, even in the rain) just to get into the building. People deliberately overpaid at the fundraiser, and the family had so much extra cash that they put it into a fund, to wait for regional nonprofits that would aid Ukrainian refugees to form and be firmly up and running.

Clinton telling democrats to remain transphobically silent on attempted legal genocides of trans lives is a great example. We are told to shut up and take the worst that humanity has to offer the minority and marginalised for the benefit of a majority that cares nothing about doing the same for us.

Was listening to a story about the Ukrainian refugees that are coming through Mexico that showed how amazing fast tracked they were allowed into the US, with a special guarded building. The reporter then interviewed and took a South American refugee to the center to show her the difference and she started crying. They had no guards, no toys, food, bedding and at this location there was so much not being used as they were pushed through under 24 hours and she had been there with other people for many years. She said, we are running for our lives too and live in fear here and they get guards for the little time they are going through. I am all for the Ukrainian cause but as the reporter suggested, a political war seems to get more attention than a cartel coming after you. Maybe race has something to do with it too. The condition that the South American woman lived in with the other immigrants was frightening and yet she took time to teach the kids in there without barely any books. If I recall right, she cries when she saw the unused piles of toys for the Ukrainian refugees. But yeah, that story doesn’t get much coverage either.

I like the fact that in her explanation it was all about helping people and literally not going into politics too much and keeping that explanation superficial etc. She comes from a Jewish family so obviously her feelings towards the Ukrainian/Bandera past are for sure entirely negative - these atrocities are not forgotten.

[@thinkhector]

She doesn't know anything about the way the world works. And Conan knows even less. This an economic war against Russia--nothing more or less. She doesn't know about the CIA coup that overthrew the democratically elected Ukraine government in 2014. She doesn't tell that Ukraine has Nazi division in its military. She doesn't tell you that the Ukraine government was killing it's own people in the Donbas region. And she definitely won't tell you that Russia tried to negotiate a peace, (yes that Russia) called the Minks Agreement. And she won't tell that the United States is Oligarchy. That military weapons and contracts is second only to Wall Street money. If the only think your country still makes is weapons, then you will find a way to make war. It's about profit, and oil (always about oil), and the U.S. controlling OTHER countries resources.

She's right on the money in all areas. Can't help but think about not only Iran not getting enough attention, but also the scary and reoccurring conflict against Armenia by the hands of Azerbaijan. I wish there was some space to talk about Armenia, since it doesn't seem to be too relevant to so many people, even though the stakes of the situation can have a horrible outcome for Armenia and all of it's people. In all cases, this podcast is the best and I am so happy that Conan had this conversation.
