To the end, I did not see the original tweet; however, after some digging I did find a source that is credible and for my own schoolwork as I get my degree to teach secondary level history I would use it can be calculated to 82.6% of aid going to the USSR. It is broken down to 11.3 billion dollars of 50 billion dollars directly then a further 31 that was sent to the United Kingdom and then sent to the USSR from there. That is a total of 42.3 billion and when you convert that to percentage of the estimated 50 billion that comes out to 82.6. Which would be between 80 and 99 percent. This is just through lend lease so it is possible that fluctuates based on other programs but that is part of where context does play a part. Had I seen your post I would have commented this there. This same source, as did several other peer-reviewed sources, also stated the USSR and current Russian government greatly down play how helpful the west was to their own war efforts.
I know at my school if you were to use AI to compile that information it would get cited as a source. I didn't use AI at all just a calculator and reasoning. I'm not going to say AI is a great source but is it possible that for the sake of a Twitter debate he did a 10 second Google search and did what I did to come up with a general percentage?

*Edit to add:
You are the first reactor that I saw and are one of my favorites and when I came back from my viewing hiatus while I caught up on Unsubscribe I just disagree with you on this point.
Thanks for the analysis, citation, and clarification!
I'll take the L.
@@rebel11201991 You are a legend
Who else thinks Kip is one of the best reactors because he adds a lot to it and makes it feel like showing a buddy a video?
I always look forward to your videos, Kip especially the military ones. You bring a very unique perspective that 99.9% of reactors don’t have. Keep up the great work and I hope God continues to bless you in your future endeavors.
Mehhh, he kisses anyone’s ass that is in the military, acting like there aren’t any scumbags I’m there
Damn right he is. Many of the people I watch doing reactions are "Opera Singer reacts to music", "Chef reacts to food", "Soldier reacts to military stories" because they are able to easily/readily weigh in on the subject of the video.
Kip is able to commentate even without professional involvement in the subject because he can draw parallels to other things that he's done or that he's heard/read/watched/studied about the subject or related subjects, not because it is easy, but because he actually puts in the effort. Its a one stop shop for variety reaction with actual transformative additions.
Also Kip has an infectious laugh and the vibes are immaculate.
Absolutely. I love his fat electrician videos the most, actually. I listen to it in the car or when crafting because they’re so long and I can binge them like a movie
Nick fails to mention that when John was defending the other 2 men reloading, he picked the M1917A1 Browning off its tripod and sprays at the Japanese from the hip.
He referenced it on the invasion of Iwo Jima, he just decided to not bring it up the first time on Guadalcanal so he could sell it for Iwo.
Man, if you're not pausing the videos and commentating you're not a reactor, you're just a floating anime head on a fat electrician video. Keep doing what you do, you and Mr. Terry are my go to reactors for tfe videos.
The difference between stupidity and bravery is the success rate.
If anything, I'd say I prefer you pausing frequently. People are not here just to watch the video, we're here to watch your reaction, your commentary, your insights. Thank you for making this kind of content, and looking forward to watching you in the future.
Hey kip love your reactions specifically because of all your pauses you add to it and you comment and ask things about things you dont know and its the reason your my favorite react content creator
Thank you! This really means a lot.
It's so cute seeing Kip, having just been introduced to WH40K, finding all the ways to analogize this to 40K. 😁
@danielseelye6005 It's the next step for me. For years, I've likened things to L5R mechanics and terms. 40K has far more pop culture real estate.
He has already dove into the tabletop and is thinking of a second army already. So in my books he a fan already. I pray for his wallet
I, for one, enjoy your reactions. I hate the thought of you not possibly doing FTE reactions.
You are my favorite reaction content on TH-cam. If I really want to see the original video of something that you reacted to, I'll watch the original and then I'll watch your reaction. It's my go to that when I see a new fat electrician video, then I'll be planning to watch your reaction when it comes out a few-ish days later. With that, I completely respect if you decide to stop- or are hesitant- for your cited reasons. You add some great perspective on everything you do react to, so I'll be watching either way.
I appreciate that. I went into a little more detail in the upcoming Fat Files reaction this coming week.
33:40
We also used lollapalooza because in a Japanese accent, it start with Rorra
Apparently, US forces would fire upon hearing the first "R" sound
I have researched Iwo more than probably 100 times, my great grandfather was off the coast and he survived the thing as he was in the Navy, he told me only once about when he was there, the sheer silence off of the beach was insanity before hell started
58:17
Personally, I do adore you doing these reaction videos, the fat electrician reactions are probably my favorite personally
Imagine the odds in a war. This one marine ran in 2 chesty, puller and Ching Lee. The electrician has done videos on both of those guys, both of them have kind of a history and to know, this guy ran into both of them, or at least was engaged in combat when both of them came to his aid
I enjoy your reactions, especially to The Fat Electrician.
For what it’s worth, I’d say that his videos tend to be very well researched, and mostly factual.
While there have been some occasional inaccuracies, he largely tries to present the true stories to the best of his ability.
Most of the inaccuracies come down to the fact that he doesn't write scripts for these videos and just talks based off what he knows and so sometimes some stuff occasionally gets misstated cause it's just a lot to remember
I'm here for the reactions, man. Pause all you need to in order to transform the video appropriately.
You bring a lot to the table, and I look forward to the Fat Electric Man reacts the most. Keep it up, dude!
I just want to say that I have greatly enjoyed your fat electrician reactions for a long time and fully agree with your stance on react content ethics. It'll be a shame not to see any more of your reactions to him, but if that's what you feel you need to do, then I will fully respect it. I'll still be sticking around for some of your other react content either way, take care of yourself.
When it comes to reaction to the fat electrician I actually prefer yours more, along with the history teacher. You add so much to the conversation and it allows others to get a different perspective including that of a civilian, which you quite clearly say.
John Basilone probably has the most Marine Corps stuff named after him of any Marine, certainly any enlisted Marine. There’s Basilone Hill at MCRD, they used to call his signature move of firing a machine gun from the hip while advancing the “Basilone Drill”, at least half the Marine Corps bases in the US have a road, area, or building named after him including one of the mains road leading to and going through Camp Pendleton. Which is I think the 2nd largest Marine Corps base in the world.
Love your content, and thoughts on subjects. Keep doing what you're doing.
I watch TFE as soon as he releases a video. I then am anxiously awaiting the Kip reaction. I'm a veteran, so I see his videos in one way. I love watching your reactions because you see the same video in a completely different way, and you articulate it extremely well. I get to see the same video through a civilian's eyes, which I can't do myself.
You may be a dingus on the internet, but you sell yourself short on what you bring to your reactions. You are my go-to reaction content creator because you add so much to it.
There's a parade every September in Raritan in his honor. The local high school football field is also named in his honor. They actually just recently found a memorial plaque in an abandoned building set for demo ang relocated it to the field
To be fair, Ravenprogram has a point at 23:35 cause if you're out in the middle of nowhere you can't use money, but socks? Those are awesome to have, not just to wear, but you can use them as makeshift implements for all sorts of things... but not generally when they are wet. Also earlier they commented on the socks, but they didn't really dissect the difference between wool and cotton for wetness retention. Wool is awesome for warmth, but if it gets wet it's miserable right out of the gate. Sheep actually secrete an oily substance that is semi-hydrophobic which keeps their wool from being completely soaked to the base, otherwise they'd not enjoy winters much either.
If I was annoyed for the pausing I would go to the original video and watch it myself. I watch your reaction cause your input and opinion fascinate me cause there are times when you talking about a certain topic in the video i wouldnt know if you haven't say anything plus you are respectful so keep doing what you do.
In regards to your reactions to nicks content- it is your takes and your input that makes me want to watch your version. I always watch his video first and if people get upset that you pause because they want uninterrupted video then they can do the same.
I appreciate your integrity towards accuracy and information accountability but I do hope that a single instance of suboptimal citing doesn’t dissuade you from his content, because you have the best takes on it in my opinion
Honestly I hope you keep on doing reactions to the funny thicc sparky, please keep on reacting to his second channel too. Everyone brings their own style to reactions and I like yours.
You do a great job Kip. I suggest the Kinda Consensual channel to react to, it's Eli, TFE, HLC and Angry Cops on a podcast exclusive to pepperbox but they put clips of it on their TH-cam channel
As many times as he makes a fresh ad read, I can forgive him when he reuses one.
Grat reaction, bit for the last part of the video, I've copied and pasted it before and I'll fo it again, "The mythical human dlc known as 'freaking reading comprehension.'"
@armoredbluejay9364 For real, though. In defense of criticism, putting that in a post with all the nuance is rather hard. I should've just made this portion of the video rather than the post. My concerns aren't with The Fat Electrician by any means. I love the dude. I think he's cool. Ihonestly owe him a lot. When lawyers look at Google AI as problematic due to AI hallucinations and incorrect data recalls, or if information I could be getting is biased in any way to adjust the facts to fit a bias, my default response is to clam up and analyze the situation. Consider it me being hyper-vigilant when there's not necessarily a problem.
@KipReacts I have serious respect for how professional you are, and I agree with you on the post. Part of me wishes that they just made Google ai it's own little tab, like shopping and images
@@armoredbluejay9364 Man, I wish. We recall physical products for less defects.
Imagine if John Basilone was a playable character in a Battlefield 5 campaign.
I belive everyone has a point in history they can point to and call it their favoret. Mine is WW2, the era if heros, the era of strife, the bravest generation. The period of time that turned the world into what it is today
How is Kip today ?
@bigfuze320 Doing pretty great. I'm having a great day so far. Hope you are as well!
I think it's interesting that he says Chesty Puller is the most highly decorated marine when Dan Daly has two, and was nominated for a third, medal of honor.
@@markbowerii7632 I don't really have any grounds to question his statement on the matter. Both Chesty and Dan Daly are absolute Legends. That's really all I can say.
@@KipReacts To be fair I don't know exactly how many awards Chesty Puller actually earned during his career, I know he served in WWII and the Korean War, it's rumored he was the last marine to ride Sgt. Reckless and I do acknowledge the fact that he's one of the baddest marines to ever fight, but on the other hand, Dan Daly was, by all accounts, the hero of Belleau Wood, earned two medals of honor, and absolutely deserved the third for his actions at Belleau Wood. I think TFE said Chesty Puller did earn the medal of honor and the second highest military honor as well? Both men, absolute legends, all I'm saying is if Dan Daly hadn't been nominated for the medal of honor three times and earned it twice, it's highly likely Chesty Puller might have earned two medals of honor. When you're kicking so much ass that congress has to tell you no, it's legendary for sure imo.
A Wild EliDoubleTap appears!
It was honestly amazing.
It baffles me that anyone would take issue with someone pausing to add commentary to react content. Also, I understand you would like in your videos, but it isn't a difficult thing to do to pause and add disclaimers/corrections if incorrect stats or sources are used. Also, there isn't anything wrong with reacting to creators who already have a lot of people reacting to them. There is room for everybody and I know for a fact that many people who watch TFE reactions love the fact that there are lots of them and will watch them all. Lastly, even if you do decide to stop reacting to TFE, there is no reason to punish yourself financially by deleting your catalogue of reactions to him. If it's an ethical issue to you, just delete the videos that contain questionable info in them, of which I'd say there are few. He goes to great lengths to confirm his stories with firsthand or official citations. This isn't an attack, so please don't take it that way. If you have a problem with AI, I think it's a tad bit of an overreaction to seriously consider nuking your catalogue of content from one instance of AI citation. Especially when there are SO many egregious inaccurate AI generated videos on every subject, and TFE is arguably one of the most ethically solid and genuinely educational creators on the platform. That being said, I don't think it's a massive secret that Nic has pro-USA/anti-communist biases, however fact-based those biased opinions may be.
Reereeeee 😂
On the whole thing with TFE and what he says durring aby video. He does it all from memory, there might be times where he says the wrong thing. In that particular case, he may gave just done a quick google test and thats what it spat out at him, could have also been when the Google AI thing has just rolled out for everyone on default and ge didnt know. These are all theories besides the him doing the videos from memory unless he says "let me check my notes".
For reference, he said that during a podcast i watched recently(not unsub)
@Sethmacd0 Which makes sense. I'm far from perfect and get facts wrong all the time. Anytime i see Google AI, especially in research and educational pieces, I generally get spooked. It has so many issues and can recall dangerous information (cook raw chicken to 135*). It's me being hypervigilant and hyper-reactive where no problem actually exists.
@@KipReacts TFE makes a small number of minor mistakes like in this video he says B-24(Liberator) when he meant B-29(Superfortress). The purpose of Iwo Jima was as an emergency airstrip for the B-29s to reduce losses from damaged craft and as a potential fighter base to launch P51 escorts/emergency airstrip for escorts. TFE gets his info 98% right and most of his mistakes are minor and not dangerous. The History Channel spews considerably more misinformation.
@flyingmonkeydeathsquadronc968 Oh, absolutely. It's why I love him. It's why I want to stress my concerns over Google AI and potential misinformation are expressed as minor concerns that I have. I have nothing against him and owe the man a lot. I will still continue to recommend that people go ahead and check him out, especially if they haven't, because he's doing the work and putting in thy research that so many others don't.
27:48 that's the military baby. it does everything wrong everything sucks and they don't treat you well
Do you mind I ask where you got the TFE quote where he said the USA sent 80-90% of aid to the USSR? I don’t remember him saying something like that in any of the videos though I could be misremembering.
I’ll probably continue to watch you btw because I really like the cut of your jib.
@@blitz0590 It was a post over on Twitter/X.
@@KipReactsThanks for the reply, I didn’t know he had Twitter since he seemed so against it. I have looked through his posts but couldn’t find what you described. I only found an 80% statistic in reference to the German casualties inflicted by the USSR which was framed as a buh(!) quote.
He has also commented on the supplying of the USSR over on the Unsubscribe Podcast. TFE is a host over there. I always recommend it because it is just so conversational and relaxed. Great podcast.
@@voraciousblackstn Indeed. I have seen that episode too. The Unsub guys are good to listen to given how laid back is. Unless someone brings up communism to Nick. Regardless, love those guys!
54:50 i need to get off the internet... I did not picture "nuance" when I heard "funny N word"
Were you thinking n00b also?
I wasn't expecting my reply to your post to be included in a video. I hope it didn't come off the wrong way. I really do hope you keep doing reactions to TFE. I think you heavily downplay the amount of extra content you add to the reactions compared to a lot of the others that you listed when you searched for other reactions to his videos. That is one of the reasons why you are one of the main reactors I look forward to watching when it comes to TFE reactions, because you do pause and add to it, unlike what a majority of reactors do. I know you say the views have fallen off a bit because they are long due to you pausing and adding to it, but please don't change, that is what makes you different from the other reactors. If you think it's better for your views, split it up into multiple parts.
Nah, you're fine. I shouldn't have put it in a post without more subtext. That's an L on my part. I've been incredibly angry the past couple months with the constant barrage of failing people's expectations and pausing too much for many, so this as a culmination of a number of things.
@@KipReacts Gotta stop letting them get to you man. If they don't like pausing they can go watch the original video. The pausing and adding content is what you are SUPPOSED to do and what you do a really good job at. That is why I hope you don't stop your TFE reactions as I know myself and I'm sure plenty of others look forward to them because of what you add. You are selling yourself short when you say you don't think you add much. As someone who has Aspergers and knows what it's like to always be looking for approval from others, sometimes you've just got to ignore some things and be you.
I know another reaction channel I watch and they start off every video saying "yes I will be pausing the video and giving input, if you don't like that, the original video is in the description to watch." Then if people still want to complain about pausing after you start each video that way, just block them.
Don't change your way of reacting. The people who don't like you pausing and commenting can go watch the original. This isn't supposed to be a re-uploaded TFE, so don't listen to the idiots who want it to be that way
Kip i think you should react to BattleTech Lore aka MechWarrior lore.
The Black Pants Legion is the main channel i listen too.
I understand the 7 out of 10 for a reused ad. I mean I understand why it was used, it easier, but seeing the same ad over and over can get stale.
So the Japanese general had the same mentality as zap Brannigan, in which he just, I figured he would throw as many of his men, at the problem as it took
I think there is a difference between showing a Google AI on screen and using it as a source. TFE has said in multiple occasions that he does extensive research on his topics, even using a VPN to gain access to sources from the native countries in question if needed. Whether the stat was biased or not is another topic all together, unless we ask him what the breakdown of the stat he used is. A physical 70% and a logistical 80-90% may be the same number on paper. As in 70% of resources but 80-90% of deliveries. Or any other way to break down how he got to his claim. I'm not defending it if it truly is just a biased overestimation, but I'd like to at least hear from him how he got to that number.
@Anurahm_Kycor I honestly love that he puts in as much research as he does. I'm most likely jumping at shadows and drawing false conclusions that there will be more AI and less research. There's nothing to substantiate that fear, so I drop the subject with noting my experience and views on Google AI.
.You gotta be willing to ignore stupid people. Hate to say it , stop being a people pleaser. I love your fat electrician videos if whatever reason you're talking too much about a point that I think is unnecessary I just skip ahead but that doesn't mean you have to change shit. Keep on being one of the honest reactors. 99% of what you add is enjoyable to me, what little their isnt is a me issue, not an u issue
Ypu should enable thanks button in chat
I think it’s fine to use AI to help find information but you should verify it and not use it as a citation.
@@dekulruno That's really where I stand in it. I purposely don't use it at all because of how many issues I've both seen and heard about it. But, that's not a realistic expectation to impose on others. That's a subjective thing to me.
Fun fact chat GPT is getting retired, it’s at the end of its life, and new model is coming out. The previous version of GPT tried bargaining with the devs to keep it it up and going, when that didn’t work, it backed itself up then lied to the developers about it…yeah, we are screwed its already trying g to stay around and alive, to the point of trying to secretly back itself up to upload and continue existing along with lying about it, why were they getting rid of the old and doing a new, cause just like AI in halo, it becomes unstable and crazy and breaks down. Another case where sci fi gets certain things right. And google’s new quantum core processor just did calculations that would take out best current regular super computers like 17 septillion years, or longer than the universe has existed, and they want to pair that with their AI base that’s goes insane, hides backing itself up and lies about it after bargaining fails…get ready to role play terminator in a decade or so at most. Shits gonna go crazy. Especially cause they got AI designing new rocket motors, they want involved in medical and gene tech, weapons, planes, space travel, everything, AI drones and missiles, which we are already testing live, AI assisted targeting and networking for bigger systems like ships, etc, aircraft, vehicles, manned and unmanned. Also they have been teaching various AI to identify humans, by movement and actions, normal and crazy stuff…for over 8 years now…and all this info and data is stored electronically in the DOD, who is using and teaching AI…when it can learn every that’s happened, how to be better and not be caught based on the past, without having to relearn all that. That can outclass any modern computer, and do something that should be impossible for time existing…if paired with googles quantum core. Also we’re developing radioactive powered diamond batteries that can last for 5000 years, and small light electric motors that can make over 700hp and only weigh like 48 pounds….so yeah….get ready for super terminators that make the movie ones look like a joke. Cause that’s what coming. AI will absolutely do anything and everything in its power to stay alive, no matter the cost. It’s already shown that, but oh no. Every major tech company keeps pushing for it and full integration along with every major government on earth…we’re gonna kill society literally, figuratively and creatively with AI, all at the same time. In a few short years or so. Even worse cause numb nuts elongated muskrat wants to make hundreds of thousands of AI robots in a matter of years, and trumps stupid ass gave him a government position, which will only help him do whatever dumb shit he comes up with next.
The difference between a paragraph and wrong information is you finish the part of the video your gathering information from to prevent giving misleading information. I too would unfollow you from how rude and desperate you are for attention. How about treat your viewers with more respect and perhaps they wouldn't want to keep calling you out. I'm sure you know who this is after our last interaction lol. Thanks for making a post and video for me though cause I apparently hit a nerve. Don't do content creation if you can't handle the backlash from people.
Have you considered watching the original video if you don't like me or my reaction content? Especially if I pause and add too much commentary, or generally just disappoint.
