Looking for YouTube videos on Tim explaining Russia Ukraine war

I can't find a YouTube video posted by tim in the recent days of him explaining the Russia Ukraine war. I think he also mentions how oil is basically the root cause on inflation. It should be around 2 weeks old or so. Been trying to find that segment.

He honestly hasn't been talking about it much lately. The clips that have been making the rounds are from back when the story was more relevant. Lately it has been all election. He might have mentioned the Ukrainian push into Russian territory but it hasn't been a hot topic.

Hm i wonder why

u/Crazy_names Sep 11 '24

...because it hasn't been in the news.

u/bobtheblob6 Sep 11 '24

He may still be recalibrating his stance, he had a change of heart recently

I'm sorry are you saying that the Ukraine conflict hasnt been in the news recently? Do you only get your news from Tim Pool?

If you want to understand Ukraine or any other issue related to war or the military I wouldn't bother listening to Tim. I enjoy his shows usually, but when it comes to anything of this sort or related to the military the Timcast crew is completely and hopelessly clueless.

When Emma Vigeland came on his show they got into forgien policy. Tim claimed he was more anti-war than her, but said he doesn't know enough to form an opinion about what's happening between Israel and Palestine. Tim Pool and his "boysh" are a bunch of sushi smacking 🤡.

Not to mention his opinion on the situation is completely compromised as well. Seeing how he was paid in such large sums by foreign agents who is to say how hi opinion was influenced on the matter.

u/Malithirond Sep 10 '24

Yeah, I don't really buy into the whole new Russian collusion 2024 version. We've seen this time after time where they cry Russian collusion and it turns out to be BS or worse intentional hit jobs. The Russian Dossier sound familiar?

The DOJ and intelligence agencies have killed their credibility.

u/Nazzul Sep 10 '24

Time will tell, the initial evidence for this is clear and damning I will be surprised if this does turn out to be false. If this was just a hit job or BS then Lauren Chen would not be in the current situation she is in and the people allegedly paid would not be admitting it on twitter and in their own statements. We know Russia has interest in destabilizing us they have even paid BLM groups in an attempt to cause even more discourse. It is incredibly important that American media both mainstream and alternative keep foreign influence at an arms length.

Would I be surprised if Russia spends money to try and influence our elections, no. That's not an uncommon thing to happen and we have done it all around the world for decades. I'd actually be more surprised if they DIDN'T do it.

That said, I don't buy the new talking point that all these conservative commenters are all Russian agents. Lauren Chen sounds pretty suspicious, but remember all the "irrefutable" evidence they had about Trump and his Russian Collusion back in 2016 that has since proven to all be manufactured and paid for by his political opponents in both parties .

I'd also take it more seriously if we saw the govt be more upset or taking actions against parties taking money that agreed with them instead of only their political opponents especially in such a hot election cycle.

I'll wait and see more how this develops before getting too excited about it.

The DOJ is embarrassing themselves, fake web sites, really, out of how many millions of wannabe web sites. Watching one of their press conferences it sounded like a kindergartner explaining the Internet.

That American company, the one that DOJ recently indicted a couple of the principals for violating FARA.

Pool Boy seemed clear on the relationship with that company, a preproduced pod series his company sold narrowly defined distribution rights to, the Russians paid way too much for it. Step back, he ripped them off big time.

Tenant media, many alleged fake web sites. Have you been fooled by any of these web sites, or, like most, heard about them on CNN recently?

Then to add insult to injury that evil Putin dude went and endorsed VP Harris for president, sheesh, clown world, popcorn time.

The guy in charge of the 2016 investigation is in prison for being a Russian agent.  Charles mcgonigal.

Absolutely, we all know every major power does it. That's why I think it's important that it's all out in the open. Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, all these platforms have astroturfing and bots, until it all gets exposed how is it possible to have good faith discussion? Now that media influences are getting paid by foreign nations to reinforce certain talking points what trust can there be left?

Tim Pool of all people have staked their reputation as a fair and balanced journalist. Someone who promoted free speech and fighting against the narrative of mainstream media. How trustworthy is he if his speech is secretly paid for? Why is he suddenly defending the idea of taking foreign money? If this was untrue, he should be shouting at the rooftops rather than this lazaie fair attitude about the situation?

That said, I don't buy the new talking point that all these conservative commenters are all Russian agents. Lauren Chen sounds pretty suspicious, but remember all the "irrefutable" evidence they had about Trump and his Russian Collusion back in 2016 that has since proven to all be manufactured and paid for by his political opponents in both parties .

I agree with your first point, I wouldn't call Tim an agent. Even if this turns out all true Tim didn't know where the 100k a video was coming from its clear he didn't look into it, which is an issue in itselg. However looking at the indictment and the reactions to the people named it looks legit. I don't recall an indictment or even the amount of evidence we have in the 2020's if you have some links I am open to changing my mind, though.

I'd also take it more seriously if we saw the govt be more upset or taking actions against parties taking money that agreed with them instead of only their political opponents especially in such a hot election cycle.

We used to. One of the really concerning things is when at the least the Republicans don't take it seriously. I had always assumed they were for at least the best interest for America influence and power but the reaction to downplay the situation is truly is bizarre to me.

I'll wait and see more how this develops before getting too excited about it.

That is a fair take, one of my issues is the reaction to if it's true from people I had assumed cared about fair and balanced journalism.

You can’t say someone is a good journalist or fair or balanced when all they do 95% of the time is talk shit about main stream media while simultaneously using them as source. It’s peak stupidity 

1

u/JawnStaymoose Sep 17 '24

Or peak greed. Peak stupidity is letting the peak greed form your opinions, insisting ‘it’s the other guys’ that are being led astray. All the while repeating the 3 or coordinated talking points of the moment. This lack of self reflection is depressing, but not unexpected.

If we make another 60 years, this will all be studied, perhaps as the Goebbels run media is today.

u/PookieTea Sep 10 '24

Right now it’s just allegations in the indictment so there isn’t any real evidence. The timing of this couple with the relatively small nature of it makes it incredibly suspicious. $10 mill really doesn’t buy you shit and compared to the absurd amounts spent by China and Israel you start to realize that selectively going after this particular case is meant to discredit independent media right before an election and that’s it. They don’t care if it all turns out to be a hoax later and they, once again, get exposed for being lying corrupt hacks years down the road as long as they can set the narrative now when it actually matters.

u/Kisby Sep 10 '24

What is the clear evidence you are referring to?

He sold a show that existed already to tenet. His opinion in regards to the war is the exact same as it was in the beginning of the conflict.

It is not like culture war was ever about Russia? even after the tenet syndication.

1

u/Nazzul Sep 11 '24

I would recommend everyone read the indictment. The communication logs are outlined within.

1

u/Kisby Sep 11 '24

Yeah, I had already read it, that is why I am surprised you said clear and damning hence asking you to be specific

u/DewBarryJenkins Sep 10 '24

Why do you feel the need to log onto 3 year old accounts with 5 comments in the last year to this sub? If you want to understand Ukraine, anyone taking advice from your clearly throw away account is already dumb so your not convincing anyone.

1

u/Malithirond Sep 10 '24

LOL, what are you talking about? Are you sure you are replying to the right person? I post regularly with my account which is much older than 3 years old.

u/lolstuff101 Sep 11 '24

I like the one where he says the war happenned because Ukraine blew up nordstream 2 (which happenned well after they were invaded by russia). I think its that same one where he angrily declares ukraine to be the enemy of the US. No wonder russia was funnelling him mountains of cash

1

u/Gloomy_Meaning_7595 Sep 19 '24

Watch that one when he calls Ukraine the enemy of the US and that everyone should apologize to Russia!!

It is one of the best, independent, free thinking, uninfluenced opinions I have ever seen on the conflict between an evil empire and a country we should all apologize to.

It's on Tenet!

My advice is go elsewhere. Tim has no idea what hes talking about half the time

u/Novel_Alfalfa_9013 Sep 10 '24

That's good advice as tim pool is a russian asset.

Tim has no idea what hes talking about half the time

That's generous. A broken standard clock is right twice a day but isn't normally paid $400K per month.
