Oh yeah, I'm almost certain he's CIA funded. He does this more sophisticated style propaganda, where the facts he presents are correct, but he adds this subtle framing you have to look for. And if you don't know the details it all sounds very legit. For example, when he discusses Yemen and Saudi Arabia, he just conveniently leaves out how Saudi Arabia annexed 3 provinces of Yemen in the 30s, and they've been trying to do a genocide in Yemen. Kind of important context. Or how he gives numbers through out the video, but then when it comes to the claims of Ukraine knocking out Russian refineries he all of a sudden starts hand waving, and doesn't mention that Russia isn't actually a major diesel export globally in the first place.

So, yeah, he's definitely a sack of shit, but I did learn a bit from the second half of the video, so worth watching.
