Episode 840 - Tom of Finlandization (6/10/24)

Art/Animation by Emily Halaka @emilyhalaka
Last week, we looked at Trump’s felony convictions and the various weaknesses that brings his campaign. This week, we turn to Biden world. First, Hunter is in court on federal gun charges, leading us all to learn about his bizarre taste crack music. Then, we spend the majority of this ep reading through the absolutely addled interview Joe Biden gave to Time magazine last week. How cooked is he? Can we make sense of any of this? How could we get two candidates this bad leading their presidential tickets? We discuss all inside.

One of my favorite “they’ve crossed the rubicon moments” is when they indicted Trump, our boy crowder said “tomorrow we go to war” and his opening salvo was a Joe Biden “Biden farts” video set to the tune of baby shark.
War were declared
Although it was “Biden sharts”, not farts… us war reporters need to get this right or what will history record..smh..

“The Ruby-Tuesday-con” joke may not have landed with them but gotdamn what a good one for me.
I literally thought Felix was just improving a Biden imitation by making up old-man gibberish until about five minutes into this when I realized it was a transcription of an actual interview.
After the Fleet Foxes Strip Tease story came out, and now the felony gun charges, I'm morally obliged to write Hunter Biden in on my 2024 ballot.
Will: Is the "typical 5'9'' boyfriend" in the room with us now, Felix?
love him or hate him, "[unintelligible]" goes hard
"He's crossing the Rubituesdayscon"
I can already tell this one will be great!
I am voting for Biden specifically for 4 more years of these interviews
Please Please Chris! Release a video of just Felix and Will's Biden interview impression. I am begging you right now!

This rubicon thing comes up so much incorrectly used. I feel the need for a tldr
Roman legions were forbidden from coming closer to Rome than the rubicon river to prevent them walking in and starting a coup. Only praetorians are allowed in Rome.
So when Caesar marched his legions straight for Rome everyone got nervous. But not until the moment he crossed the rubicon was it irreversible his coup was unstoppable and under way.
That’s why the crossing mattered. It implies taking a final step past the point of no return. He’s really done it now no take backs!
You crossed the rubicon by making the comment long enough that I had to click "read more."
holy hell, imagine biden trying to debate anyone about anything for more than a minute.
We don't have to imagine it, we'll witness it soon enough cuz both Biden and Trump already agreed to have presidential debates for the election. It's gonna be great, a debate to the bottom by two nearly incapable senior citizens for the leadership of the largest nuclear power on earth. This can only be good...
the election just got better. felon v felon dad.
I want to apologize and hold myself accountable: I watched this video before Chris uploaded it.
Yo the noise gate is way too choppy turn down that threshold a bit.
Major faux paux not having nick mullen on, as his Biden impression is spectacular...

Lol... My comment disappeared fast
If you look it up, you can find more interviews and comments from Biden where he uses this "Putin wanted a Finlandization of NATO but instead he got a NATO-ization of Finland" line. I think he feels that it's a clever punny way of saying that Putin wanted NATO weakened but instead NATO expanded - but it definitely sounds obscure and even nonsensical if you're not steeped enough in cold war history to know that Finlandization is an actual word that kind of does work in this context.
i assume finlandization is when you've become more asian than your peers are

How do you know your straight, if you have not been with me..?
@@Mannydamon

If it were somehow Biden, Biden, and Trump running, I would be the least disappointed in my country if Hunter won.
I’m with you, with that field Hunter ‘24!!!
Finlandization comes from when after WWII the Soviets forced Finland to unban their communist party and allow them to run in elections as a way to avoid being invaded and annexed
Sounds reasonable to me
I think when he said “Finlandization of NATO” he meant “Finlandization of Ukraine.” That’s the only thing that remotely makes sense, at least.
no, wider context is finlandization of Europe. Finland, Sweden are countries that were reluctant to join NATO for decades are now re evaluating their security concerns joining the alliance and creating united front against RUSSIA AND china. Biden wants to take credit and I think he deserves it to an extent. It's incredible how little european history these guys know and pontificate which treaties should us sign or not.
@@davorrudovic9580 Finlandization is a pre-existing word which means something totally different from that and it is not based on you thinking that NATO is Starfleet and Finland and Sweden joined up which is totally awesome
Finlandization is when a smaller country's foreign policy is subordinated to another larger country despite being nominally independent, it directly refers to the role that Finland took in the Cold War following WW2, the Soviet Union told Finland to stay the hell out of its way diplomatically and in return they and the Soviets would be chill with each other.
@@akumakorgar Did the war in Ukraine not cause Sweden and Finland to change their foreign policy based on the actions of another larger country? Did Europe's gas and energy concerns not cause them to subordinate their foreign policy to another larger country based on the bombing of a pipeline which we just can't solve? When has America had that happen before.
@@utkarsh2746 I don't really understand your point. A country changing their foreign policy on their own initiative in response to the actions of another country is not "Finlandization" which refers specifically to the situation in which FInland signed a friendship treaty with the Soviets which basically kept them permanently out of the Cold War. As someone who thought the Soviets would have been in the right to annex Finland in the 1940s, I'm just saying that's what Finlandization means without any kind of claim beyond that.
@@akumakorgar The term Finlandization was based on a specific event in time but the phenomena itself was a smaller country being forced to subordinate its foreign policy to outside interests, being caught in the cross fire between nato and Soviet Union. That is happening to Ukraine right now. Getting pedantic about the origins of the term does not change that.
26:25 Correction; Finnish is not related to the Basque language. It is related to Samic, Estonian and, more distantly, to Hungarian. All those languages are uralic (not "uralgic", like Amber said).
Basque on the other hand is not Uralic and is completely isolated as the sole surviving paleo-European language.
I think what Will was saying was that it's like the Basque language in that neither is Indo-European.
@@AnarchoPurp Well in that case he was right then.
"Ha! They don't know what Finlandization is?" I smugly think to myself.

I was so hyped for a Finland-themed episode like they've done with Germany and others. Mr. Chapo, you will be hearing from my lawyers.

Why does the audio just cut out at random points???
You’re not the only one. I think something went wrong in editing or uploading.
so they don't sue themselves for copyright infringement
Why does the sun rise everyday?
@@ChannelMath
What?
I think they probably had something included in the original edit that they later removed to avoid potential copyright strikes. Usually happens when they play certain songs or movie clip or something
Ngl best episode in a while, good to hear Amber back and the fact that it's mostly just them riffing on that shitty Biden interview was hilarious
: I predict Hunter will be acquitted because he seems to exude the socially acceptable form of functional autism. If I were in that situation, my ex's testimony of me being stone cold sober while talking about how Come and See is the best war film of all time (because the aspect ratio is in Academy format) would get me convicted immediately - no jury deliberation required.
I address this social taboo by never being stone cold sober. God looks after drunks and fools, but even He finds autists vaguely embarrassing.
@@RatPfink66 : Yes, which is why I will have to revise my previous statement a bit and say I will be executed by the judge himself inside the courtroom, now that Hunter has been convicted.
What's your prediction for the election?

Hey hey people
Noticed that too lol
Know any more good videos with a tom of Finland thumbnail, trying to get my watched list lookin gay af
I'm not the only one..
ive never even seen that other channel before and got it in my feed right next to this one (do listen to chapo so thats why i got this) which was very odd lol, i guess the algo is lumping them together bc of the picture?
@-..-_-..- its especially weird because sseth's fan base tends to skew fashy. His videos are generally good if video games shit and cumtown humor tickles your fancy
Could someone clue me into what the background on the thumbnail is? I've been seeing posted all over Twitter without any context besides the obvious, but like... Why?

You guys need to get the compression on your voices under control. The opening of the show sounds like he's moving his head back and forth away from the mic and then back. It's called "pumping" and it means your compression is up too high.
I'm pretty sure you don't get electrocuted if that happens. I would be shocked if you did
I was thinking that conceivably he was thinking about Russia wanting NATO to become neutral like Finland used to be, and instead the US having turned Finland into another hostile NATO country.
Apparently they've been massively propagandised through the capture of their media, because they're the only people who speak Finnish, so they don't have immediate access to other Finnish media or independent media from other countries to contradict the American narrative, and it's only multilingual people who pay attention to alternative media in English or whatever who can put the propaganda into perspective.
Maaaan he didn't even say Tom of Finland
Biden is probably losing this one and I'm glad tbh
Same same
50:41 I love your channel and your audience, I'm gonna comment on ALL your videos for years until I reach your level of subscribers.

Can you explain how the art of two buff gay guys relates to the topic? Confused.

Wow no comments chapo fell off 😢
Wow I love this extremely original and hilarious "joke" I see on every post now

You all should be talking about the Genocide! FREE PALESTINE 🇵🇸
I don't know if I could handle a Tom of Finlandization of the genocide.
They've talked about it extensively
strange that the hosts couldn’t take a second to look up Finlandization.
Edit: took a lil bit but they did it
Nofx!
HAVE CORNEL WEST ON!
He has to switch parties at least 3 more times.
Why
Also him being black will piss all the right people off all over again
Man, I always have to skip when the guys try to talk Ukraine because they don't really seem to actually know what they're talking about. Even Felix with the airplane stuff. As an example, that average age thing is not conscripts, it's volunteers. Older men are volunteering so that younger men aren't being drafted at higher rates, the Ukrainian army is still majority volunteers, a stark contrast from Russia, who is at this point majority conscripts. F16s would be a substantial upgrade to Ukrainian air power since they're not only far superior to the MIG-29s Ukraine has, but they also are integrated into all the weapons NATO is sending them. Currently, Ukraine is operating with a sorta jury-rigged system of using MIG-29s with Western weapon systems.
Also, Ukraine is currently right now about to enter peace talks with Russia, so I don't know what they're talking about how it's too late for peace talks.
Yea I can't stand how they talk about it
I really wish I could be this detached from reality. It must be fun to be this delusional. Wild how someone sat down and wrote all this out and got every single part wrong
It doesn't seem like you skipped...

Is there a chance he will be back to his old self?@@jebidiahkorn
Chapo has trash takes on the Ukraine situation
Yeah when the Chapo hosts were not giddy or even a little excited about the prospect of the average Ukrainian soldier being 43 years old, only to not have the gall to say to said soldiers “You servant, you coward, you blind man, back to the front!” That really disappointed me and made me question their resolve.
Nah your guy's radilib sunflower takes on Ukraine are trash. It's an inter-imperialist war, and probably one that Ukraine will end up losing after a LOT of people die pointless deaths on both sides, because the US wants to cost Russia a lot of time and money like they did in Afghanistan. The sad thing is you guys think you're the smart savvy ones but you're just goldfish-brained and letting the neoliberals in Washington lead you around by the nose, the way they always do
Guys like you, back in 2003, were saying how Saddam was a really evil guy and we should go to war with Iraq even if they don't have WMDs, which they obviously do and then rolling your eyes at every leftist who says otherwise
