  1. If they do they'll just call it a hoax. They aren't very inventive when it comes to dodging issues.

  2. Probably about as many times as right wingers try to change the subject whenever one or more of their own get busted for being a mouthpiece for Putin. So A LOT.

  3. Tim went from antiwar to antiwar + Ukraine is the enemy + Biden should apologize to Putin for interfering. Nobody should be carrying water for Tim Pool unless they are on his payroll. He's a shill.
    6
  4. There's nothing for him to apologize over. Tim Pool is a shill. The very next day when the news broke he suddenly did a 180 and said that Ukraine wasn't actually our enemy and that the US should spend $200 billion to drive Putin out. Tim knows what he did.
    5
  5. The evidence is in the indictment.
    5
  6. So they just gave them $10 million for S's & Giggles? The agent ring leaders have been charged which stops the Ruble gravy train. I think we may see some superseding indictments. The YouTubers may end up being just victims but they got paid ridiculous sums of money for, based on their canned "no editorial control..." blanket response statement, next to nothing. Tim has said some crazy stuff but it progressively got more "blamey" towards Ukraine. And if his opinions were all truly his own then why did he do a complete 180 the day after the news broke regarding his stance on Ukraine and Russia? There is more to this story.

  7. None of the YouTubers were indicted. They're fine unless there's more to this story that results in superseding indictments. I don't think that will happen though.
    4
  8. It's definitely Tenet media. Their mission statement was referenced word for word in the indictment and Tenet Media's YouTube channel went down within hours of the story going public. Russia is courting Americans that want the war to end. Particularly those who hate globalism and want America to stop helping Ukraine no matter the circumstances. MAGA Republicans fir that bill. Tim Pool fits that bill and he suddenly went from antiwar to anti Ukraine recently. That shift is what makes him a Russian mouthpiece.

  9.  @svtmedic6152  It's not illegal if he took the money and spouted off against Ukraine in exchange. But people deserve to know despite not being entitled to that information. That is why safeguards like FARA exist. Maybe you just don't want to admit that Tim is a shill.
    4
  10. Good job cutting and pasting Tim Pool's response into a YouTube comment!
    4
  11.  @stopfaking  So they paid $10 million dollars to them for absolutely nothing and Tim Pool going from anti-war to anti-war because Ukraine is the enemy of America and the world and Biden should apologize for interfering while stating that the German warrants of a Ukranian regarding the blowing up of Nordstream2 meant that Russia was right to invade for that even though the pipeline incident happened 7 months before the invasion was completely cool and normal and organic? I don't buy it. Enough with the "editorial control/influence" talking point. That is explained in the indictment and in the video. If you want to take Tim's word for it fine. But DOJ indicted the middlemen agents and Tenet has essentially shut down. The Ruble gravy train has stopped and we have 6 so far unindicted extremely (formerly) overpaid YouTubers. At least one of which suddenly went from generically antiwar to antiukraine antiwar. Don't be surprised if there are superseding indictments or additional testimony from the YouTubers admitting that they were asked or encouraged to trash Ukraine in their videos. Nobody pays $10M for nothing.

  12. Sounds like something a Russian would say. Did you read the indictments? Do you watch those YouTubers? If you did you would realize that it explains why some of the YouTube personalities have suddenly started badmouthing Ukraine while praising Russia. Tim Pool in particular. He went in a few highly dramatic rants that were disgustingly pro Putin and they absolutely looked scripted. Anyone who paid attention to the aftermath of the 2016 elections knows full well that Russia spends inordinate amounts of time and money interfering in our elections as well as stoking internal divisions. They are chaos agents and they target Republicans because they are more susceptible to rhetoric that demonizes globalism. Moscow wants America to become isolationist and to keep busy fighting each other internally. They want Trump to win so that he will let Putin take Ukraine. They want Republican's obsession with hating immigrants to trigger mass deportations which would wreak havoc on our ability to compete in export markets. There is no question for hat Russia is interfering in American politics. Call DOJ liars if you want to but they require evidence to investigate and prosecute. Read the indictments.

  13. Trump's son is on the record saying that whenever they need financing they get it from Russia. Few others will risk lending money to him. And Trump was not strong on Russia. He had a tendency to only place sanctions on Russian companies owned by oligarchs who had known squabbles with Putin. But at the end of the day it is Putin who supports Trump despite Vlad's hilarious fake endorsement of Kamala the other day. LIFE HACK: If your enemy tells you that they endorse A but not B, they endorse B.
    3
  14. It's is Tim's bizarre love affair with Trump that attracts MAGA Republicans to his channel. That is who Russia seeks to influence. This has nothing to do with the left. Stop trying to change the subject.

  15. There's nothing unconstitutional about requiring foreign agents register as such. They can say what they want and they can pay US citizens to say what they want them to say. Having foreign agents register adds transparency. If someone approached me with a cash offer to talk about certain things and I was able to learn that the offer was made by foreign agents I would want to know.
    3
  16. Ukraine didn't invade Russia. I guarantee you that Zelenskyy would agree to resume normal government functions, hold a new election, and step down when a winner is chosen as a condition of Putin surrendering and leaving the region. Sorry, but Russia is the bad guy here and trying to muddy the water with nonsense is tiresome. Diplomacy can be leveraged to correct injustices within Ukraine once Russia fully retreats. The war must end.
    3
  17. Calm down, Vlad.
    3
  18. It's not disinformation but the answer to your question is still "YES".
    3
  19. Because many Americans lived through the Cold War that we spent trillions of dollars on to dismantle the USSR and we are not going to let Putin reassemble it. Keeping Russia from Ukraine is a national security priority and will remain so until he withdraws.
    3
  20. Lol. Wut?
    3
  21. And they boot into safe mode if you call them out on it.
    3
  22. The desperate whataboutism coming from the right over this is beyond hilarious.
    3
  23. Read the indictment. Only the individuals who didn't register as foreign agents were charged. And it is a stretch to call the YouTuber's speech free when they were paid $10 million to rattle off agitprop approved by their handlers without so much as a disclosure that what was going on was a form of paid advertising marketed at genuine opinion.
    3
  24. How do you say "cry elsewhere" in Russian?
    3
  25. Trump did collude with Russia. Read the Republican led Senate Intelligence Report. Then read the docket entries from Durham's lawsuit against Sussman. It clearly explains how political campaigns on both sides of the aisle hire lawyers to manage the collection of OPPO research which is then given to the press to vet sources. If you have issues with any of the articles published that used the Steele dossier as a source then take it up with the publisher. BTW, a lot of the information that came from that dossier was corroborated. Pretending that Trump, who was constantly surrounded by Russian operatives and foreign agents during his first campaign, was the only innocent bystander among the lot is a completely ridiculous assertion to hide behind. It wasn't a hoax.
    3
  26.  @svtmedic6152  He has lost all centrist objectivity so he can sell more Trump Love tshirts. He's a hack. He blathered on about thinking Trump would win 49 states in 2020. He dramatically overhyped the right's tiny wins in midterms to the point that even Milo Yiannopoulos told him to put the Kool Aid down. When it comes to politics he is a shill who is hyping a completely incompetent criminal just for views and to sell merch.
    3
  27. Cope. Trump is toast. It is so hilarious how triggered Republican get when they hear words that refer to equal rights. Droning on about communism is watered down weaksauce and completely played out.
    3
  28.  @robertfoster2992  Are you going to stage another Skoal sponsored too doomed not to fail coup? Are you going to let NewsMax pick up the next $1 billion dollar tab for lying about non-existent fraud or are you going to make Fox pay it twice in a row? The GOP has collapsed into a mound of fail. Trump is done. There won't be another R POTUS until the RNC excises the MAGA tumor. That's the hard truth of the matter and I know that you know that I'm right. You'll get through it. I have faith in you 👍👍

  29. Assuming that America engages in equal or more propaganda against Russia than Russia does against America and using that statement to dismiss Russia's propaganda activities is the real strawman argument. Even if you are indirectly discussing both country's propaganda activities as they pertain to Ukraine. And the capabilities of American weapons versus Russian ones have absolutely nothing to do with anything whatsoever in this context. The fact is that Russia is spending inordinate amounts of time and money trying to get Americans, particularly MAGA Republicans, to be decidedly anti-Ukraine for the purpose of demanding America stop helping them fight against Russia's unprovoked invasion. In the end it is Russia who is going to be sorely disappointed for wasting all that time and money on a fruitless psyop.
    3
  30. Rubbish. Read the indictment. The investigation that resulted in the two foreign agents being charged has been ongoing for at least a year. That Russians target right wingers into spewing Kremlin approved agitprop is nothing new whatsoever. Tim's lawsuit is a frivolous nuisance suit anyway.
    3
  31. So in your case, still Russia.
    3
  32. Yet the second the Rubles started rolling into Tenet Tim started yammering about Ukraine being the enemy of the world and that Biden should apologize to Putin for interfering. And he was mad that Ukraine (supposedly) blew up Nordstream 2 which triggered the invasion even though Putin actually invaded 7 months before the pipeline was blown up. It was kind of you to paste verbatim his response from that Ben Shapiro "interview" yesterday but in the end Tim is still a shill who got busted for shilling. Fortunately, he is microscopically small potatoes and isn't worth the DOJs time. The important thing is that the Moscow gravy train has been derailed.
    3
  33. Russia is bad and needs to stay out of American politics. Deal with it.
    3
  34. The difference between Ukraine and Afghanistan is that Ukraine has far more exploitable natural resources, established international trading links, a population mindset already aligned with the west, and a relatively ubiquitous and consistent government across its territory. Afghanistan is a tribal wasteland that has refused to be governed for thousands of years. The US, EU, and the UK have vested interest in rebuilding and maintaining Ukraine. We are no stranger to post war nation building.
    2
  35. The awkward level of cope emanating from the right over this story is beyond hilarious.
    2
  36. There was no need for Tim to blow an Oscar worthy gasket over the cursory news about an arrest warrant. And why would anybody apologize to Putin for anything? He invaded Ukraine 7 months before the pipeline incident. Depending on how the political wind blew from day to day it was going to be attacked by either Ukraine or Russia. It was a known target widely discussed in the months that Russia was amassing forces at the border before the attack. Why would that make Ukraine the enemy "of America and the world?". Believe. Don't believe. Whatever. Pool is a shill. He'd be better off dropping his bozo love affair with Trump and pivot away from politics. If you're hanging out with the likes of Laura Loomer you need an intervention. Tim's tune changed when that money started rolling in and the uncanny valley warning lights started flashing. And the day after this news came out he did a complete 180 regarding Ukraine. He is not a genuine person. At least not when it comes to politics.

  37. Don't be such a drama queen. Willful conspiracy? Lolz. Right wingers are such snowflakes.
    2
  38. right wing, yes. But all he does is spew nonsense.
    2
  39. CNN has 17M followers and YouTube is just an ancillary conduit that they push content through. Good attempt at a flex but it failed. There have been countless House hearings and God knows how many videos and articles and posts on social media about Hunter Biden. Nobody was quiet about that. You are just deflecting because right wingers got played. And it doesn't matter in the least if anyone thinks that Tim Pool or any of the others aren't right wing. The common denominator here for the most part is their ridiculous obsession with Trump. That attracts the MAGA crowd that Russia is so desperate to influence. And that is what the subject of this video is about.
    2
  40. They were investigated. Countless times. Republicans found no crimes.
    2
  41. Or maybe he is primarily only interested in how other countries infiltrate the US via disinformation. Maybe he is bound by contract to not discuss the activities of agencies here. Why does it matter? It's his channel. He doesn't owe anyone content. Nobody is paying to subscribe to his uploads. Practically every other comment in this thread is from someone whining about why he isn't talking about this that or some other thing. It's ridiculous and, quite frankly, rude. Contextually, it is pretty clear that most of the people complaining are just right wingers who get vexed whenever they see their brethren getting busted for being hypocrites. But hey, why not try to change the subject by complaining and calling the host a hypocrite instead? Nobody will see past that ruse 🤣👍👍
    2
  42. No, it is not. And that is irrelevant when it comes to the rules and regulations required of people who are acting as agents on behalf of other countries.
    2
  43. It's not really treason. Tim just didn't know that his bread was buttered for him.
    2
  44.  @elektronischemusik1903  Johnny Depp would tell you to stop deflecting.

  46. AIPAC is an American organization funded by American citizens, so no. It's not Israel's fault that the Jewish population in America is so large. Israel is also an ally of the US. FISA mainly came about to track foreign involvement in US politics by non-friendly countries. But yes, everyone foreign agent must register. It's a cash tracking law and AIPAC is funded by Americans so you'll have to shelve your antisemitism or explore other avenues to complain about.
    2
  47. 👆 How to say that you are a Republican without actually saying that you are a Republican.
    2
  48. The House Judiciary Committee didn't find any money going back to Joe. And Hunter already dealt with paying back taxes on unreported income. Whataboutism is cancer.
    2
  49. Any person voting for Trump is voting to help Putin. The entire ticket is compromised. Real Republicans need to kick MAGA out of the party. There is no viable path forward with Trump or his fascist cohorts.
    2
  50.  @milehighkush  Trump would end the war by no longer providing aid to Ukraine. The Russian economy is primarily controlled by a few myriad of oligarchs. Those oligarchs squabble and often complain about Putin publicly when he does things that affect their businesses. Trump only placed sanctions on companies owned by oligarchs that had expressed their pleasure towards Putin. You are the one who does not understand how the world works. A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. A vote for Trump is a vote to destroy Ukraine. A vote for Trump is a vote against the United States of America. Wake up.
    2
  51. What are you even talking about? AIPAC is a registered lobbying organization and any of its employees who act as foreign agents in their job capacity register as such as required by FARA. AIPAC's motives are even baked into its own name. The individuals indicted did not register as foreign agents nor did they inform downstream recipients of the Russian cash that the cash was provided by foreign agents of Russia. AIPAC isn't trying to conceal who they are or who they represent. Nor do they mask where their money comes from.
    2
  52. I agree. That was so obviously scripted. I think he actually said that Ukraine was the enemy of the world 🤣
    2
  53. Tim did. He went from being generically anti-war to extremely anti-Ukraine. Then the day after the Russia indictment story he Tweeted a very pro-Ukraine pro-war(ish) Tweet. I say "ish" because he said the US should send $200 billion dollars to drive Putin out of Ukraine. He says he didn't know but I don't really buy that. At a minimum I suspect that he was told that the "investors" really enjoyed his negative opinions about Ukraine and he picked up on that and amplified the sentiment to please the hands that were feeding him.
    2
  54. Nope
    2
  55. False. And that is no way to manage our relationships with allies. Letting Putin run amuck will only create bigger problems for us later.
    2
  56. Yet it isn't. Right wingers are gullible is all.
    2
  57. Maybe ask why Tim was so mad about Ukranian triggering the invasion by supposedly blowing up that pipeline SEVEN months AFTER the invasion. And if that Ukranian national who is a suspect turns out to having resided in Crimea there is a 60% chance that he is a Russian with a Ukranian passport. And why did Tim scream and shout and call Ukraine the enemy of the world and demand that Biden apologize to Putin for interfering? And why would Tim care about a pipeline between Russia and Germany in the first place?
    2
  58. Yup. And imagine if we were allowed to see the unredacted version that Barr buried.
    2
  59. It's like watching that movie Tenet! Ironic name too 🤣
    2
  60.  @benjaminbrown6717  Rubbish. Israel is in the news every day and there have been protests in the streets over the US's constant funding of Israel despite Bibi's seeming indifference towards innocent Palestinians becoming collateral damage in attacks targeting Hamas. How many protests have you seen about Russia's continued attempts to get Republicans to boycott US involvement in Ukraine? The answer is ZERO. The fact that the situation regarding Israel doesn't appear to be changing is absolutely not the same as saying that people aren't really focusing on it. That is a blatant lie.
    2
  61. Nobody just hands random people $10 million for no reason and the YouTubers suddenly went from denouncing US involvement in Ukraine to declaring Ukraine an enemy while praising Putin and painting him as a victim. Sorry, but no reasonable person would ever conclude that timeline to be purely coincidental.
    2
  62. Close enough 😜
    2
  63. There is no deep state. Republicans are just mad that a bunch of their heroes were exposed. Nobody who pays attention to politics in America is surprised by this. And spamming this thread with distractionary posts isn't going to suddenly change anybody's mind.

  66. Republican's war on education has been pretty successful.
    2
  67. Nah. America and her allies are committed to Ukraine and refuse to allow corrupt dictator Putin to try to reassemble the USSR. Russia is the aggressor here and it will not succeed in its unprovoked attack of Ukraine. Germany is part of the EU by the way and there economies are fine. Russia's isn't though and it's not going to get any better until it withdraws from Ukraine completely.
    2
  68. So Russia paid them $10 million through an intermediary because they are super legit kind hearted philanthropists who are ABSOLUTELY NOT totally trying to influence Americans to stop helping Ukraine. Give the world a break with that nonsense. If you actually watched Ryan's videos you would NEVER have the unmitigated gall to accuse him of being uncurious about the world. Shame on you.
    2
  69. And only gullible Republicans who are already easily manipulated by Russia would ever take Putin at his word regarding that. Try again. Trump is Vladimir's boy.
    2
  70. Funny that the indictments clearly outline an investigation that has been ongoing for well over a year. Tim's LOLsuit is beyond frivolous.
    2
  71. The Harris campaign did not make false statements about him. They posted a video of his on social media where he talked about jailing Democrats. Laura Loomer was his guest and she started spouting off about the death penalty and treason. Tim deleted the video but the Harris campaign got it from a different source. It's a nuisance suit that will be dismissed. Tim Pool is nothing more than a compromised punk these days.
    2
  72. Letting Putin reassemble the USSR is not an option because that would recreate massive problems that took us decades and countless billions of dollars to remedy by helping to break it up in the first place. Ceding that kind of power to a lunatic dictator is not "nothing".
    2
  73.  @rafflesmaos  Amen
    2
  74. Maybe watch the video. The goal of the Russian agents is to get the YouTubers to be anti-war and anti-Ukraine. Tim Pool went from being generically anti-war to blaming Ukraine for it. And as far as your other complaint, it really is up to other countries to pass legislation regarding registering as foreign agents. If you want to turn up your nose at FISA then be my guest. Just don't get caught breaking that law and don't expect any leniency in a court of law by arguing that it isn't fair you got busted because other countries don't have similar laws.
    2
  75. Provide examples or you are just trying to flip the script to avoid discussing reality.
    2
  76. There are lots of spies in the government and our intelligence agencies work tirelessly to root them out. Most are low grade operatives that are just there to make connections. And CCP doesn't care which party it courts. Republicans just happen to be much less likely to hire minorities which is not something to be proud about. We need to be tougher in our government hiring practices. It's hilarious how so many commenters here are desperate to change the topic. I'm sure there are plenty of videos about the Hochul mess to comment on elsewhere, but this thread is not the place for that.
    2
  77. Yup. It absolutely baffles me when I see people making that argument without completely cracking up.
    2
  78. I did when it seemed that Tim Pool was living in reverse time when he said that Ukraine blowing up the Nordstream2 pipeline was the justification for Putin invading...BUUUUUT Putin actually invaded 7 months before the pipeline incident. Tim was doing that reverse Tenet time dance I guess. Or his notecards were in the wrong order.
    2
  79. Nobody lied about the laptop being real. Intelligence officials, at Trump's insistence, signed a letter confirming that the laptop STORY bore hallmarks of foreign misinformation. What you trolls ALWAYS leave out that Trump is the one who had Rudy leak those drives to the NYPost tabloid in the first place. Why didn't he give them to a reputable news agency? Better yet, why didn't he just give them to his own DOJ/FBI? Why did he make a bunch of people sign that letter without telling them that he was basically the source of the leak? Trump is a fraud, dude. Plain and simple. And saying the country name three times isn't going to change the FACT that Russia targets and manipulates Trump and MAGA Republicans. And Kamala is perfectly competent and qualified to be POTUS. At least she isn't a Putin puppet like Trump.
    2
  80. Ryan made it clear that the YouTubers weren't indicted. Tim Pool would be better served in a psychiatrist's office than prison at this point but there could be superseding indictments coming down the pipe. It is still an early development.
    2
  81. Go search for videos about that topic if that's what you want to watch. Ryan doesn't owe you content. Half the commenters here are a bunch whiners doing damage control trying to change the subject. Troll elsewhere.

  82. Joe Biden didn't take any bribes from China, Ivan. The Republican House Judiciary Committee investigated that nonsense claim a million times and never found any actual evidence of that.
    2
  83. Charming 🙄
    2
  84. There is was no proof that Hunter Biden accepted bribes. He had no power. The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires certain agents of foreign principals who are engaged in political activities or other activities specified under the statute to make periodic public disclosure of their relationship with the foreign principals. Hunter performed none of those roles despite the unfounded allegations of Republicans in Congress who investigated him until the cows came home. And that is a pretty easy statement to stand behind because the special counsel DOJ Weiss, who Republicans DEMANDED, be assigned to Hunter's case never charged him with a FARA violation. Just failure to pay taxes on some of his income over the years and the gun form falsification. Hunter was on the Burisma Board of Directors and that role was not subject to FARA but the American law firm Cravath who did and does business with Burisma recently registered retroactively with FARA. Enough with the Hunter Biden nothingburgers. Trump's and Joe's DOJ both investigated him and he's about to be sentenced for the aforementioned charges and then Republicans are going to have to invent a new dragon to chase. You can trivialize grand juries all you want but Bill Durham tried to charge several Dems in his investigation of the Mueller investigation and failed twice before finally getting one to indict Sussman for which a regular jury acquitted him of later. These Russian agent indictments stopped the Ruble train from flowing and Tenet all but shut down immediately. There's more to this story and trying to pivot to Hunter or anything else isn't going to work.

  88.  @mitchm1139  More distractionary nonsense. The article is about Russia manipulating opinions by heavily funding rightwing YouTubers who don't have vast resources to properly vet sources. Trying to change the subject is spam.
    1
  89.  @NathansHVAC  It is. Get over it. Dozens of countries are helping Ukraine. All of whom have sanctioned Russia. Over half of Russia's tanks have been destroyed. They can only make 50 new ones a month. We destroy more of theirs than that each week. And Ukraine is just now getting some of the advanced airpower that took a year or so of approvals to get. I hope Russia is paying you because you are posting EXACTLY the stuff that they handsomely pay others to post each and every day.
    1
  90. No. You are trying to change the subject because this is embarrassing for Republicans.
    1
  91.  @paulw7404  Saying that Dems "allowed" it suggests that they knew but didn't care which is false. It is actually our intelligence services who are tasked with finding spies in this country and those agencies lean right wing. In fact, there has never been a Democratic FBI Director in the agency's history. Nonetheless, there are spies lurking in both parties and lamenting about false equivalents is just a ruse. Were those spies paying Dems to alter policy? Do we even know what those spies were trying to accomplish? It is Democrats who openly recognize Taiwanese independence and it is Democrats who do not honor China's overly broad territorial claims over most of the South China Sea. Our Federal and State governments absolutely need to ramp up vetting procedures in their hiring practices. But there are plenty of YouTube videos about the discovery of spies caught working for US politicians. So engage with that discussion in the comments there. This video is about Russia paying to get rightwing commentators to become anti Ukraine to help Putin conquer the country. That is not something that Republicans should be allowed to trivialize or ignore.
    1
  92. Russia did and does want Trump to win. Disputing that is futile at this point.
    1
  93.  @_Coffee4Closers  Absolutely nothing came of the laptop. And the 51 officials who signed the letter only agreed that the NYPost story has characteristics of foreign meddling, which it did. They did not sign a letter saying that the laptop didn't exist. It did but nothing incriminating was found on it.
    1
  94.  @NathansHVAC  Nobody said that. Republicans try to but they fundamentally do not understand what free speech is in this country actually means. The people indicted were funneling Russian money to the firm who licensed from the YouTubers. Those agents were required by law to register as foreign agents so that the people they do business with have the ability to know where that money is coming from. The YouTubers haven't been indicted for anything and won't be unless they told authorities that they lied when they said that they didn't know the money was from Russia and that it didn't alter their opinions that were broadcasted. It is rather curious how anti Ukraine some of them suddenly became once the Rubles started flowing.
    1
  95.  @NathansHVAC  Yes, Hunter registered as a foreign agent through the law firm he was working for. Ukraine is not the most corrupt country in Europe. Russia is. Turkey has a higher corruption score than Ukraine. Try again.
    1
  96. Bro, the YouTubers targeted aren't reposters and they suddenly went from being antiwar to antiwar because Ukraine is at fault when the Rubles starting rolling in. The 6 so far unindicted influencers are going to have to make statements under caution and maybe even testify against the indicted foreign agents at some point. This is far from over. No country would pay $10 million for reposts unless they were pretty sure the reposted content said what they wanted it to say. And the reposts acquired through a very slim licensing agreement was just the legal vehicle that established the conduit to get money from Russia to the YouTubers. The agents were likely far more interested in convincing them to trash Ukraine on their main channels either by asking directly or "nudging" them in that direction by complimenting the parts they liked with offers of money for "more content just like that". This story is far from over.
    1
  97. Nobody American in their right mind ever take Putin at his word. Did you also believe Putin when he said that Hitler had every right to start WW2 because Poland was an aggressor? Trump is Putin's boy and has always been. Even Trump said Putin was kidding. Wake up.
    1
  98. That a YouTuber like Pool went from generically anti-war to calling Ukraine the enemy of the world. And it has been explained.
    1
  99. Russia is trying to get right wingers to believe that the war is Ukraine's fault and Tim fell into that trap. Russia wants America out of the picture so that it can conquer Ukraine. Exploiting those that want America to not be involved whether it is because they are anti war or other reasons is the goal here. Tim lied and said that Ukraine is the enemy of America and the world. He got played.

  103. Calling Ukraine an enemy to America and stating that we should apologize to Russia for getting involved absolutely is a Kremlin talking point. Tim is a shill. You have no idea what type of editorial control anyone has over his channel, but you are in denial if you think he isn't at all influenced by whatever the people who paid his company $10 million dollars say and do. And he may have some left of center viewpoints regarding individual issues but he is definitely right wing. His obsession with Trump requires nothing less at this point. I guess that makes him a RINO...just like Trump. Either way, he lives inside the rightwing bubble and that is the bubble that Russia is so keen to protect.

  104. Republicans are the ones who keep holding up bills to fund Ukraine. Dems keep having to lump them in with Israel aid just to keep the process rolling. So blame the right for the one arm analogy. And if you know anything about those Javelins then you know that Trump was vehemently against it and Congress had to kick him in the rear to get it done. And Crimea has a very high percentage of Russians who live there who wanted Russia to reannex it. That's not the case for the rest of Ukraine except for pocket regions that straddle the border. Crimea was a different animal. And Biden did publicly warn Putin that there would be consequences if he invaded Ukraine in 2022 months in advance. Very few people thought that he'd actually do it. But the moment he did Joe worked with NATO allies to commit to helping by providing resources all while bitter Republicans were still sobbing over Trump's loss. They wanted Joe to fail so by extension they wanted Ukraine to fail. But Biden didn't fall into any traps by inadvertently taking on the war alone. He got full support from NATO and others while the MAGA crowd in Congress threw childish fits. For your sake I really hope you grow out of the MAGA thing. It's a scam. Always was. https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/11/15/trump-resisted-ukraine-sale-javelin-antitank-missile/

  107. Lolz. Anybody who takes Putin at his word over that fake endorsement is clearly easily manipulated and therefore likely a Republican. It is beyond ironic that the likes of Pool just magically started painting Ukraine as a villain that deserved to be invaded just as the Rubles started rolling in. Don't be surprised if superseding indictments start coming down the pipe.

  108. 51 intelligence officials signed a letter agreeing that the Hunter laptop story in the NYPost contained characteristics of being foreign agitprop which was absolutely true. What Republicans love to ignore is that the letter was never needed because Trump was the one who had Rudy leak the drives to the NYPost as an uncorroborated October surprise. That Trump didn't just have Rudy give it to his own FBI Director or US AG tells us all we need to know about the legitimacy of that story. Here we are years later and still nothing came of it.

  109. Lolz. Spoken like a true comrade. NEWSFLASH: All the ballots are already submitted by the time any news agency calls an election for any state. There is no way to impact the results of the election through a prediction call. And it was Republicans who tried to steal the election via the fake electors scam and Trump trying to strong arm swing state election. Russia is also going to lose the war. Dozens of nations are helping Ukraine and they aren't going to stop until Putin retreats or Russia is bled dry and collapses. You need to come to terms with that.
    1
  110.  @MrZlocktar  Nothing I said was difficult to comprehend. Over half of Russia's army is gone. Bled dry is a metaphor. I get that Russia has more people but the kill ratio favors Ukraine. Russia keeps running through its newest kit and resorts to using older and older equipment. So far much of the action has been a tank war and Russia is using really ancient relics and they can only manufacture about 50 tanks a month at the moment. They lose way more than that. Russia is not going to win this war. Too many countries are helping Ukraine and they are just now receiving a lot of the advanced aircraft that they have been begging for since 2022. Moscow is doomed.

  115. Maybe read the indictments. It's not exactly news that Russia targets and manipulates right wingers to push its draconian agenda. The sheer level of cope coming from right wingers in these comments is more than telling. Russia wants Republicans in power because they are easier to trick them into believing that globalism is evil and that certain enemies of Russia are the "true" bad actors. The Kremlin wants America to retreat from world affairs by being more isolationist. That way Russia and China can make power plays while America is distracted over the fake border crisis and demonizing immigrants. That's all this is about: getting the US to look away while Russia and others try to expand their reach. Putin wants NATO gone so it is no coincidence that he pays outfits to influence gullible sects of the US population to believe that we need to exit NATO. MAGA was a Moscow psyop scam the whole time. Getting Republicans to seriously contemplate a civil war is a direct result from that. Republicans need to wake up and stop denying everything.

  120. Boo boo. Putin had no reason to invade. He just didn't want Ukraine to join NATO so that it would remain a chess piece for him to capture. So he tried his luck to capture it before his opportunity window closed. Umm, no. That's not a valid reason to invade a sovereign nation.

  123.  @jerramiehelmick4408  Read the indictment. Although they weren't charged the charging doc does go into some detail regarding how several of the YouTubers did know that the money was coming from Russia. They are all labeled generically so we don't know which ones but I believe contextual clues point to Tim as having definitely been in the know. He's free to stand by his convictions and say that his opinions were his own but he Tweeted a 180 just today where he said that he was wrong and that Russia is our enemy and that he thinks the US should send Ukraine $200 billion to drive Russia out...which is oddly specific. We are all free to posit hot takes but my view is that Tim let the money give him a sugar high that caused him to amplify his negative opinions about Ukraine but now has buyer's remorse. He's small potatoes in the long run so I personally don't care too much about this but he comes across as feeling guilty of pushing narratives for money. I think he needs to focus on real journalism and maybe pause immersing himself in politics altogether so as to not be so conflicted.

  124. Nobody would ever pay $150 or $300 million to Tucker for anything. He made between $15 and $20 million a year when he left at his peak. Now he doesn't make anything near that and he has lost a huge chunk of his audience. His career is essentially over.

  125.  @EVanDoren  Nobody would pay Tucker the numbers you quoted. Not even close. I wouldn't be surprised if Tucker wasn't paid at all. The interviewee is usually the one who gets all the cash for being interviewed. Musk probably paid Putin and let Tucker host the interview for free. Maybe Tucker got some ad revenue but who knows. But there's no way he got much for it. Especially because Putin kind of made a fool of Tucker during it.

  133. Trump wasn't an agent. He was and is a Russian asset. Assets aren't usually told that they are assets. A lot of the Steele dossier turned out to be true and nobody expects all oppo research to pan out as true. That's why campaigns in both sides of the aisle give that research to the press for them to vet. Issues with misinformation reported on by news outlets that come from said research need to be taken up with the outlets that published it. 51 intelligence officials signed a letter that the laptop story bore characteristics of foreign disinformation, which is absolutely true. Maybe Trump should have had Rudy leak the drives to a reputable news agency instead of the infamous NYPost tabloid that rarely vets sources and has been known to publish foreign disinformation. Nothing came out of the laptop story even after 4 years of investigations. Trying to pivot attention away from the Republicans who were ensnared in this Russian psyop isn't going to work.

Carrying water for Trump gets nobody anywhere. As far as Tim Pool goes, there was no defamation and the defamation bar for public figures is very high anyway. Especially for those who thrive on controversy for the sake of clicks and views. If a Republican tells you that they want the mass jailing of Dems then take their word for it.
    1
  137.  @NathansHVAC  It isn't but that has nothing to do with the fact that Russia had no right to invade Ukraine. Period. And we didn't spend TRILLIONS of dollars over the course of the Cold War so that Putin could just reassemble it again after his goons convinced a bunch of low info bumpkins to vote for a corrupt RINO NYC billionaire who just so happens to have been rubbing shoulders regularly with Putin for the last decade or two.

  140.  @milehighkush  Trump would end the war by no longer providing aid to Ukraine. The Russian economy is primarily controlled by a few myriad of oligarchs. Those oligarchs squabble and often complain about Putin publicly when he does things that affect their businesses. Trump only placed sanctions on companies owned by oligarchs that had expressed their pleasure towards Putin. You are the one who does not understand how the world works. A vote for Trump is a vote for Putin. A vote for Trump is a vote to destroy Ukraine. A vote for Trump is a vote against the United States of America. Wake up.

The latter is what was happening in this instance.

  146. None of Trump's Constitutional rights were violated. The NY trial was perfectly within the law. Trump did collude with Russia. The 51 Intel officers simply agreed that the laptop STORY in Murdoch's NYPost tabloid, which is famous for posting foreign sourced disinformation, had characteristics of foreign disinformation. Maybe Trump should have had Rudy leak it to a reputable outlet or, better yet, ordered his DOJ/FBI to investigate. Here we are four years later and still nothing has come from that nothingburger story. Hunter's court cases have nothing to do with the laptop. Too many people touched the device to be admissible in a court of law and it was stolen property anyway. You need to wake up. Right wingers are habitual liars.

  149. Mueller said that Trump was by no means exonerated and that he and his administration were stonewalling his investigation. The Senate Intelligence Committee did find collusion however. It is really annoying that Republicans can stare at pictures from 2015 where Trump was constantly surrounded by Russians and foreign agents for Russia and try to say with a straight face that Trump was the ONLY one who was up to no good. Trump colluded. The end. And nobody is accusing Pool of being a Russian spy. He was manipulated by Russia to spew sensationalist accusations against Ukraine while painting Putin as a victim.

  151.  @Notyou5556  It was 51 Intel officials who agreed that the laptop story in the infamous NYPost tabloid (who publish without vetting sources) had characteristics of foreign misinformation, which it did. Republicans LOVE to leave out the fact that Trump had Rudy leak those drives to that Murdoch rag. And he demanded that letter be signed despite mentioning that he was the source of the leak. And nothing came out of that nothingburger laptop story even after 4+ years. If Trump really thought the data on it was incriminating he would have demanded that Wray and Barr investigate it. Sorry bud, but the laptop drama was yet another dubious attempt by Trump to use misinformation to win an election. Republicans are shameless.

  154. Whether you like it or not Tim comfortably fits into the rightwing/Republican cubby hole in this situation because of his ridiculous obsession with Trump. He is a standard bearer for MAGA Republicans no matter how you want to classify him and MAGA Republicans are the target audience that Russia is trying to influence in this instance. And the goal of this psyop isn't primarily concerned with promoting Russia itself as a protagonist. The goal is to demonize Ukraine enough to help make the case that the US should stop helping Ukraine and that whatever happens to Ukraine after we cut them off, no matter how horrible, isn't worthy of our concern because they kinda deserved it in the first place. That's what all this is about. Getting vexed over proper labels only muddies the water.

  157. Pool never said that Ukraine was the enemy of the world and that we should apologize to Putin for interfering in his invasion until AFTER the Rubles started flowing. He used to just be anti-war. Then he became anti-Ukraine and pro-Russia all of a sudden.

  159. Trump did collude with Russia though and it is a well known fact that Russia meddles in our elections to the benefit of Republicans. It's not just a claim and it happens around the clock. The only defacto dictatorship in recent years in this context is when Trump tried to illegally overturn the election through his failed fake elector scam and trying to strongarm swing state election officials. Instead of resorting to deflection, the right needs to have a moment of reflection and seriously ask themselves why Russia wants the GOP to control the US Federal government.

  168.  @robithesir  That's what a Russian would say. Trump is Putin's boy and he has already hinted that he will just hand Ukraine over to Russia if elected. Nobody believes with a straight face that Putin wants Harris to win. Dems aren't the ones holding up Ukraine aid in Congress. Dems aren't the ones saying that Russia had legitimate reasons for invading Ukraine. Dems aren't the ones grumbling about intra Ukranian politics to distract from talking about the illegitimacy of the invasion. And no, most people do not agree with the points made by Tenet Media. Conservatives are a minority in this country and for good reason. Civilizations never trend more conservative over time and so called conservative values tend to shift left over time. Hence why rightwing policies in Europe tend to be classified as center or center left in the States. Russia wants Republicans in power over the US Federal government. There is no disputing that fact.

  169.  @jacquesstrapp3219  Everything I wrote was true. That Tim is antiwar is irrelevant. Maybe "praising" (Putin) was too strong a word, but Tim has been downright nasty lately insulting Ukraine by saying that they are the enemy of the world. He said that the US should apologize to Putin for intervening. He has also falsely declared that Russia has essentially already won the war and that the US and other allies just need to admit it and move on. But Russia isn't winning. Since you admitted that RT might be funding antiwar content did it not occur to you that Russia is doing that so American citizens will demand that America stops helping Ukraine? Because that is EXACTLY what Russia wants. Putin wants Americans to think unfavorably of Ukraine so that they demand the White House to stop sending aid to Ukraine. That would make it much easier for Russia to take Kiev and then the rest of the country. Sorry that the truth hurts man, but Tim turned into a shill for Russia. Money changes people. Hopefully he will learn from this and pay more attention to what is being asked of him when he does business with other people.

  170.  @robithesir  Most Americans actually support Ukraine and that is why our representatives in Congress keep voting to send them aid. And the economy in the US is fine. I really wish people would stop pretending that the economy is bad. Unemployment is at record lows. Wages have exceeded inflation. Consumer sentiment is high. The stock markets are enjoying record highs, inflation has subsided and is lower than most westernized nations, gas prices are back down to $3 or so, interest rates are reasonable and likely to be reduced further soon. Republicans are the ones pretending that the economy is bad because they are mad that Trump isn't President. They are going to have to stay mad because he isn't going to win in November. Most Americans are fine with us continuing to support Ukraine and that isn't going to change anytime soon if ever.

  171.  @jacquesstrapp3219  Russia could have literally taken Ukraine right in the beginning had the season not been so rainy. Their tanks got so bogged down that they became sitting ducks long enough for Biden to step in and rally our allies to start sending weapons and equipment into Ukraine so they could push off impending wave of Russian forces. Had the roads been clear they would have seized Kiev quickly which would have completely changed the calculus. I'm not going to argue with you about who is currently winning but I don't agree that Russia is but this is not the right forum. I do agree with your assessment that a Russian victory would be a Pyrrhic one and I hope that reality influences Putin to make the decision to simply withdraw. At some point he has to understand that the law of diminishing returns will eventually put him in a situation where rebuilding the country would be too expensive and that an unhappy Ukranian populous would render his hold on the country very weak. This war has decimated his military capability and the patchwork of sanctions has hurt the Russian economy greatly. The Kremlin is bleeding out. The war needs to end.

  172.  @jacquesstrapp3219  Presidents don't control commodity prices. And you need to strip out seasonal part time figures to get a better look at comparing breadwinner trends. But Trump isn't going to win so it doesn't really matter if you copy and paste stuff until the cows come home. The fact is that Republicans make a mess of the economy and Dems clean it up. Maybe the right will have a chance at the White House again in 2028 or later if it excises the MAGA dry rot. Until then they are just going to tread water. It's up to them in the end.

Those agents did so covertly which is illegal. Are you suggesting that there were critics of the Iran and Afghanistan wars who were covertly paid by foreign agents to publish said criticism? If not then you are going off on a completely unrelated tangent. Nobody is going after anybody for being or not being critical of anything. This is about foreign agents who illegally withheld their intentions for the sake of influencing an election.

Goldman Sachs let the cat out of the bag the other day that another Trump term would likely have a negative impact on the economy. The fact of the matter is that Republicans tend to crash economies and Dems have to come back and clean up the mess. A lot of that has to do with the right wing's obsession with scrapping regulations. Especially in the finance sector. Long story short, Trump is not going to lower you bills nor is it likely that he would be better for the economy than Harris.

  191. Yeah, but once the Russians managed to put the bug in his head that Ukraine was "the bad guy" it became more likely that he would voice those sentiments wherever he was speaking. The license to place the one weekly video to the Tenet site was just the front that formed the basis for the licensing agreement. The Russian agents were really more concerned with getting him to voice tailored "opinions" that were unkind towards Ukraine wherever he went.

Trump didn't need to demand a bunch of people sign a letter to confirm that the laptop story bore hallmarks of foreign misinformation. It did by the way. He was the leader and didn't tell anyone at first. Why didn't he give it to a real news agency or to his own DOJ or FBI? And here we are 4 years later and nothing came out of that laptop and yet you are talking about it like it did. Trump is a total fraud, dude. The laptop was a nothingburger and Trump is the one who tried to make it look like Joe did something wrong because of it and it was a total hoax.

Denying it just means that it is never going to stop and that makes America a weaker country in the long run.

  204.  @edb8830  You don't speak for most people and there are many people who think FARA is completely unnecessary legislation partly because many other countries do not have similar laws and partly because FARA has traditionally very rarely ever been enforced (at worst) to selectively enforced (at best) depending on administration. And since we do not have laws requiring Americans to register themselves as foreign agents you can only speculate on the types of activities that those Americans are doing which leads to grandiose conspiracy theories and general paranoia. So no, I think Americans getting upset over such things is a bit overdramatic and attention seeking.

  213. The rightwing cope here is awesome. There's a reason why Russia wants Republicans in power if the US Federal government. The answer isn't pretty but ignoring it won't make it go away.

  214.  @MrZlocktar  It's not my fault that you fail to comprehend what is plain as day. And it isn't an interpretation. Tim Pool flat out said on his channel that Ukraine is the enemy of the world and that America should apologize to Putin for interfering in the invasion. Why are you lying?

  216. In this instance Russia is trying to convince Republicans that America needs to stop helping Ukraine. They want Trump to win so he can look the other way while Putin annexes Ukraine completely. They picked Republicans because they already demonize globalism. Plus, as an added bonus, a lot of them whine incessantly about wanting a civil war. Russia has a vested interest in encouraging chaos within its borders so that the government can focus more on domestic issues rather global ones which flows back into the isolationist strategy.

  219. Ukraine is a sovereign nation. Putin has no right telling them that Ukraine joining ANY alliances is a red line. He only wants them out of NATO so he can keep trying to annex them. We should help Ukraine join NATO so that pathetic dictator will move on. He is trying to reassemble the USSR which is not an option. Ukraine predates Russia and they are independent now. Putin has absolutely no say in how Kiev goes about forging its own way. There is no valid argument to justify Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. He needs to officially withdrawal or face additional sanctions.

  223. Oh give me a break. Pray tell how America could have avoided it. By literally avoiding it so Putin could just take Ukraine? That's the propaganda that Russia is pushing onto Americans. America is not going to let Putin reassemble the USSR. Period. So any solutions that involve giving Ukraine to Russia will absolutely be ignored.

  229.  @robertbrown9014  Trump did collude with Russia and the laptop story absolutely had characteristics of foreign agitprop. Republicans love to forget that Trump had Rudy leak those drives to the NYPost tabloid. Yet he pretended otherwise and screamed at people to sign that letter that simply said that the story shared traits of misinformation. And here we are four years later and absolutely nothing has come from that silly laptop beyond a bunch of failed House "investigations". If there was anything to the story Trump would have just had Rudy give the drives directly to Wray or Barr. It was a nothingburger. We don't have an open border. And Tim had the unmitigated gall to scream that Ukraine was our enemy and that we should apologize to Putin for interfering. Yet when the Russia connection was exposed he did a 180 yesterday and declared Russia an enemy and that the US should spend $200B to drive them out of Ukraine. As for the CCP, they have inserted agents into both parties for years. Call me when you can point to something specific that they manipulated a Dem about. Otherwise you are just playing a pointless whataboutism game. Tim Pool is a shill. Confirmed.

  231. Trump did collude with Russia. Clinton paid a lawyer to hire investigators to conduct oppo research that was given to the press to conduct source vetting. That is the standard practice that both parties abide by. The Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee did find collusion. It's hilarious that Republicans still try to pretend that Trump was the only one who was innocent while he was surrounded by Russians and foreign agents for Russia during his 2016 campaign. Sorry, but nobody is buying that nonsense. Russia absolutely meddles in our elections and Republicans are their preferred targets. It's been that way for years.

  233. Trump did collude with Russia. Repeating the name of the country over and over isn't going to change the FACT that Russia targets Republicans to manipulate for political purposes.

  234.  @redbullbundy  It wasn't completely fake. Parts of it contained misinformation. The fine was regarding how the oppo research expenses were classified to the FEC. The established process is that oppo research is shared to the press as is to the media for them to vet sources. Any issues anyone has with that dossier need to take that up with the media organization that published anything from it. All that was explained in the Sussman trial that Durham lost.

  236.  @nameTBA  Only parts of the dossier couldn't be corroborated. Republicans keep trying to dismiss the whole thing and use that to claim that there was no collusion, but Trump did collude according to the Republican led Senate Intelligence Committee which had nothing to do with Steele.

  237. The pipeline sabotage happened 7 months after Putin invaded so even if Ukraine was responsible it was obviously not a factor in his decision to invade. The video you provided refers to Biden placing sanctions on some of the Russian companies involved in the construction of the Nordstream 2 pipeline if he invaded. We all know how effective that warning was(not). But it was fair game if Ukraine did it by that point. To be honest, I'm surprised that the pipeline remained in tact as long as it did considering how quickly and often Ukraine attacked the bridge connecting Crimea to Russia. The only reason anyone cares about that pipeline is because it made Germany mad.
    1
  238.  @pannekoekronald  The sanctions part is not in the video but I am familiar with the situation. Biden would never unilaterally blow up a pipeline that connects to Germany on one end. Sanction talk regarding that pipeline were nothing new. And even if it was completed it would be very unlikely that Germany would even accept NG from Russia if Putin invaded Ukraine. Especially given the fact that the pipeline would be a prime target by both Ukraine and Russia depending on how committed Germany was to supporting Kiev. Trump saying to not be so dependent on Russian gas is neither here nor there. It's a rather commonsense statement and one that Germany is more than capable of solving on its own. In fact, the entire EU has reduced its dependency on everything coming out of Russia. Regardless, we still don't know who sabotaged the pipeline. I know warrants were issued by Germany on a suspect from Ukraine but there are still many Russians living in Ukraine and if he is Ukranian we don't know if he is associated with the government. The pipeline was always going to be a hard to protect target hence why it was talked about so much before the invasion. Long story short is that Biden did not suggest that he would blow up the pipeline. We are too close an ally to Germany to do that. Convincing Berlin not to utilize the pipeline would have been the proper diplomatic route and that is how Biden operates.

  239. No. None of the YouTubers were indicted for anything. Foreign agents funneling money from countries to influence Americans have to register as such. Nobody is being prosecuted for what they said. That's such a paranoia inspired hot take.
