Basically K&G is a milhis channel that teaches military history from the eyes of people who fought in x conflict. But when you look at their coverage modern wars, it’s basically in a pro-west borderline propagandistic way.

    Personally, I think any history youtube channel that gets big enough ends up becoming increasingly influenced by US state department opinions, I don’t really have any evidence of this, but it feels like the bigger and more “professional” they get, the more likely it is that their “research” is just regurgitating the official US version of events.

      This could be simply because having more researchers to do the videos will make the pro US bias of the group stronger, giving less chances to disagreeing opinions to show through. Although it could also be about youtube showing info, true or not, about talking about the US generating more views and things like that or the sponsors having some demands regarding these things, like not sponsoring videos in favor of Palestine, which may have been fed to them by the government and such, or even just the capitalists only putting money where their points of view receive the spotlight.

        Yeah, I feel a little conspiratorial about it, but it’s most likely just “market forces” at work and not a deliberate effort by the state department.
