Tim reacts to news that Russian operatives allegedly funneled $10 million to right-wing media stars via Tenet Media, joking that he's been defending Russia for free while getting nothing.
- The awards circuit is a predictable New York media circus where you already know who'll get applause.
- Tim's been defending Russia for free for 18 months while everyone else gets paid to talk about it.
- He clarifies he looks at the Ukraine conflict in a nuanced way, noting that U.S. talk of NATO admission played a role in provoking Russia.
- The depressing reality: people are getting stuffed with Russian money and he can't even get a taste.
- Tim marvels at how cheap you can apparently buy off the right-wing for $10 million.
- He questions what anyone would even do with $10 million right now and what the risk-reward calculation looks like.
