How in the world anyone takes Tim Poole seriously is beyond me.
Yoshi....I am point blank telling you Tim Pooles presentation in this video is a correct analysis of what is occurring. You ungrateful libs and haters do not deserve the great thing President Trump is doing for our nation. I hope you come back to reality at some future point. I seriously doubt that you even listened to the presentation.

She's not a conservative, she is a grifter. She's conspired with that pos Destiny. Just a total grifter with zero cred. Still pushing the Kremlin lies because you have zero proof, just making wild claims like always...

Interesting theory




Another swing and a miss, scarecrow.

"The theory is that the democrats offshored their wealth to China and intentionally nuked the United States to avoid World War 3. This is called the Liberal Economic Order."

That is all I needed to hear to dismiss this as pure garbage.

He uses Obama's Iran deal, where he unfroze their assets to get them to a diplomatic solution, as an example of this theory. Of course, he conveniently leaves out the fact that Trump is now unfreezing Iran's assets to get them to a diplomatic solution.

I guess there are a lot of people who listen to podcasters like this. I have to admit I'm not one of them.

I don't care if you're on the right or left, do people who reference these pod people really believe that they have "inside" information that supports all their "I thinks" or "what he was really thinking", or even definitive statements of "fact" have any greater idea of what's real than posters on this board?

Now there might well be a few who have contacts who feed them information, but the rest are just bloviating and cashing paychecks.

Not all podcasters are created equally however the ones on the right are mostly about angertainment, not facts or inside knowledge.

If I'm going to listen to a podcast, it's usually Pod Save America because those three guys worked in the Obama administration so they have actual inside knowledge on how the government works.

As far as Japan goes, I'm not sure, just know that it was being talked about. You'd have to listen to the first minute of Tim Poole's podcast to know why I brought it up. One minute was all I could bear.

"As of early 2026, China remains the primary buyer of Iranian oil, often using the Chinese yuan to bypass Western sanctions. While some reports suggest broader shifts toward non-dollar, yuan-based trade in the region, recent data does not confirm Japan is actively purchasing Iranian oil using yuan, with China absorbing roughly 90% of Iran's exports.
U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (.gov) +4
  • Dominance of Yuan in Trade: Iran has increasingly insisted on non-dollar transactions for oil, specifically demanding payment in Chinese yuan.

  • China's Role: China holds nearly 91% of Iran's oil exports as of 2024–2025, facilitating these payments.
    U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission (.gov)
  • Japan's Position: Although Japan has historically viewed Iran as a key oil supplier, sanctions have severely limited their trade, and current data shows China, not Japan, as the principal actor in yuan-based oil purchases from Iran.

  • Market Context: The 2026 tensions in the Strait of Hormuz have pushed oil trading toward local currencies, particularly the yuan, reducing the role of the US dollar in this specific supply chain. "

Chinese Yuan
there was movement a while ago, maybe a year or so, where China was making a push for use of the yuan for trade purposes. So, this is news, but not new news. I don't think the yuan movement went anywhere. It might work for those nations in the China circle

I profess that I don't have all the information about what's happening today in the international trade world. But, I have this gut feel (which is basically worthless from a factual perspective) that current winds among our trade partners could shift from what has become an uncertain environment in dealing with the US to one that might appear to more certain with other nations.

The one, major thing we have going for us is our market. Right now, the US is the best market in the world and people sell us a lot of stuff which supports their economies.

This Iran excursion could throw a monkey wrench into a lot of nation's normal internal and external operations. Hopefully, from a purely selfish perspective we can be smart enough to take the correct steps to benefit the US. I'm not sure the "bull in the china shop" method is the right one. In normal business dealings creating the win-win situation yield the best benefits. Beating your trading partners with bigger and bigger hammers is normally counter productive.

The cool thing about Trump screwing up over and over again. Is that he declares victory and his supporters don't know how to read or think critically so they celebrate whenever he does.

Neither channel I've watched in weeks.

It's wild that you think a random twitter person has more credibility than CNN though. Tim Pooles channel is so pleasing to Russia that they paid for it
Too bad leftist like you cant never deal in facts unless they support your position. Why are you still peddling the Russian lie about Pool? Just always slandering and smearing people that dont agree with your worldviews. Really shows how weak your positions are since thats the line leftist like you take when debating. Just gaslighting and projections. Just makeup wild lies about people and hope they stick...

justmadethat$h!tup.com is the #1 go to place that leftist go for talking points. Also after Iraq,covid,and the jab its amazing you have such trust in CNN. They also told you Hillary was 90% going to win and Kamala was going to win also. You are in a cult and dont realize it...
