As an Estonian, I appreciate You for going to the sauna and then going into the cold water, those two things go hand to hand.
No, man. It's not a duo, it's a trio! The important part is missing is "Kali/Kvass" ^_^
I’m Canadian but my room mate is Estonian and we have a lot of people we know is military service, always wishing the best for them
@@GreatRetroThe word we use is a bit different but as a Finn I think I know what kind of beverage you are referring to my Estonian brother 😁🍻

As a Finn 🇫🇮 (neighbour to Estonia) this was super interesting to watch. Estonia (like Finland) has always been in a unique geopolitical position where it has to adapt its capabilities to the reality of sharing a border with an Empire hungry for power and control. Also an extremely beautiful country despite the clear mark that communism has left on the country.
Wow, a great green beret goes to cold water from the sauna! That's an effort! :) Terv Virosta! :)
Joke is on Tim. (No offence.) WW1 was geared with US Zionist creation of Bolshevism to create Atheist Communist Soviet w/ genocide of all Russias intelligentsia.
Ps. Watch: Europa - The Last Battle

Good stuff Tim, American living in Estonia for work for over a year now. Narva was one of the places I wanted to visit and honestly it was surreal. Everywhere else I have been didn't have the odd feeling Narva did. Love it here and will be sad when my job here is complete.
Welcome to our home, dude! Its great honor to learn from you.
Thanks for visiting and making the video!
Thank you so much for your effort to introduce, visit and do some training here with us! God bless you!
Been a fan of Tim for many years now, glad you visited my homeland!
Kim Kennedy. Oh roooo
Great video Tim you should do more of these, you experience and your ability to breakdown very hard things for the normal civilian to understand is great. So Tim & co. this type of video is a homerun.
Come visit Finland also! You are more than welcome here 🇫🇮
Met you at the airport when you were leaving, thank you for your work!
I think the hardest training is in winter.Our neighboring countries Finland and Scandinavia are good for training because they are further north.
Tim Kennedy is the man.
That’s someone that’s makes me proud to be an American.
You should do some research on the POS.
He's worthless. He is anti American as it gets. Our republic was built on rebellion, this POS is the opposite of that

More episodes like this!! It was amazing 👏
Here WE GO! Some solid Tim “the grenade” Kennedy content. This is what RUclips needs.
Little does he realize he actually funded an occupant at the end of the video.
Well, it was just an old man (hopefully not an agent 😅), so it's fine
@@MisterRedFox he's asking for money in russian for his hand "OPERATION".
@@MisterRedFox not really fine, as hes probably lived here for almost/all hes life and doesnt speak Estonian. Not a dime to them. Ptui!
@@waty0usay1 yeah, as in "surgical operation for his son". Not the operation you may imply.
@@WooDoQr wouldn't be surprised if his son got maimed in the "SMO".
Thanks. Tim always remember
Don’t let the shirt, tie and jacket fool you. Tim is lethal with a tie💪
It’s unfortunate that you don’t get more attention about this situation and environment in the US. It was crazy seeing how the Estonians live on the day-to-day with Russia
Much respect, thank you for your perspective!!!!
Awesome video Tim. Love Estonia
Cameraman putting in that work🔥
love to see the professionalism
As a Finn great to see our southern neighbours getting good training from you guys. Hopefully you will someday come do teaching us Finnish conscripts/reservists too :)
Lmao Tim is freaking *military Michael Scott in this video 😂😂😂
Greetings from Estonia✊
So much tim swag in the background
Tim you live and breath the mister Rodgers quote ❤🇺🇸
Awesome video! Also, come to Finland!! Loads of people to train with, and even more saunas!
No Tim.
Curious what's the point of hiding Tim's face when this video is posted online anyways? :)
It's for propaganda/drama. Tim has become a tool of the Brandon administration, which wants to (now) pretend that Estonia is in some kind of existential threat (it's not. They've had that border since 1991 with no problem with Russia.
Tim is becoming a true toolman with his criticism of the second amendment, his support of Soros, and shilling for fake Brandon administration propaganda.
Sad.
Tim God speed 🙏 respect
Mate racing with Cleetus aka Carret and now in Estonia. So amazing!!
1st Patriots!!
Would you say it is safe to live in Estonia as a civilian right now?
Of course it is. Estonia has had that border w Russia since 1991. They are in no danger from Russia (which is not communist, btw)
probably safer than ever before. Now when the west has finally starting to wake up.
“TK” all the way !!!! 🇺🇸
do you plan on wrestling on the border?
Dude - run a training mission in Latvia during summer time. I promise you won't regret it.
Tim perhaps you could visit Georgian-Russian border someday.
Ah narva, sabaton fans know what I’m talking about
As much as I love the sentiment, isn't it a stretch to call the Russian oligarchy 'communism' in modern times?
Americans like to label anything even slightly left or which doesn't fit Murica as either liberal or communist.
By the way, I'm fully against what Russia is doing, I just want to make note of how skewed definitions are when it comes to Americans and politics.
Yes, tho most people label it wrongly as extreme left or right, i just see it as highly manipulative government, they know all the tricks and have had lot of practice. Authoritarian hell for sure and roots in oligarchy for sure!
Cmon, as a citizen of former soviet union, the communism is still here. It has changed its label, it's wearing nice suits and mimic democracy, but it still oppressive, freedom-hating bunch of old assholes running the countries. Starting from the government's tops, big corporations and going down to small local administrations - everyone is afraid to do anything without approval of the center. Total inefficiency everywhere
@@robin_5099 as an American I agree with you... I am sorry for the stupidity of my people
No it's not..u military? You know that people are getting slaughtered over there
Hey Tim did you make sure none of those Estonians were 19 years old before they.started touching those death cannons???
Man...that is some Cold war shit right there. Look at the building in the background of the last scene...tell me that doesn't scream "built in 1960".
Come to Finland Tim 🇫🇮
Tim Kennedy stated that he was for restricting 2A on Hodge Twins, who agreed with him so I'm done with all of them.
the state department called you to train another countries special forces...thats crazy Tim is like a cross breed of the terminator and Gi Joe.. true American basass
Why did you wear the mask if you are uploading your face on RUclips anyways? :D
Loose tweets sink fleets but youtube videos are sweet!!
All joking aside cool video.
Ахахах)))) невероятная чушь!)) Поржал. Привет из Санкт-Петербурга, Россия!
Estonia is in NORTHERN Europe, not Eastern Europe.
I lived and worked over a five year period in Tallinn as well Moscow. Here are my thoughts on this video. Refering to the Russians as Communists is absurd. 1944 was the last year that the Communists (Soviets) invaded Estonia. I was living in Tallinn when the former Soviet Army was still there and very slowly packing up (occassionally taking the copper telephone lines that went over the base causing my cottage to loose telephone service). I think ethnic Estonians would find you repetedly calling them Eastern European to be offensive. Northern European, Finnic or even Scandinavian is more accurate ethnically. The Estonian Army is not large enough to ever oppose the Russian Armed Forces for more than one or two days in the same way that the Danes or Dutch forces did against the Germans in 1940. There are simply not enough Estonians to defend against invasion. This is not about bravery or determination it is simply a mathematical fact. While you were driving in Tallinn to your training, you passed an impressive building with a spire topped with a Soviet star. This was the Soviet Naval HQ in the old days. I have been accross the border at Narva dozens of times. Once I obtained a special Russian visa to visit the 15th century Russian Ivangorod Fortress at and viewed the 13th century Danish built Hermann Castle on the Estonian side from the oppossing side of the Narva River. In more friendly times this border crossing could be tense, dangerous and time consuming because of active drug, people and weapon smuggling as well as a gang war on the Estonian side over the control of the used car trade from Europe to Russia in the mid 1990’s. It seems much worse today.
You're mistaken on the ability to resist invasion though. You need 3:1 superiority in numbers to have a meaningful attack, Estonia right now has a wartime structure of around 39K fully equipped and regularly re-trained soldiers and reservists ready to react on a day's notice, backed up by another 80K reservists who have gone through the mandatory military service. This all adds up to a healthy force of 120K. Russia would mathematically need around 360K troops to stand a chance at success, which is almost twice the size of the force they could muster to attack Ukraine. Additionally, Estonian border with Russia has only 2 rather limited land bridges on either side of the huge lake Peipus, while Ukraine had a completely open front. And even more additionally, there are thousands of NATO troops from UK, France, and Italy stationed in Estonia, so an attack on Estonia would be an actual attack on the soldiers of those countries.
@erickbaka One EMP placed equidistance between Tallinn and Tartu would neutralize most of Estonias weaponry. Warfare is changing quickly, so using old numerical axioms is pointless.
David you are correct, and Eric lives in fantasyland.
@@davidpritchard604 this not the 50s anymore, mission-critical electronics are shielded from EMI and there are built-in surge protectors and breakers. Leaving that aside for a moment - how does an EMP neutralize 120K soldiers with handguns and anti-tank weaponry like the Carl Gustaf? Leaving even that aside - when Russians invaded Ukraine they relied on UKRAINIAN cell towers for communication! Maybe there's a reason they don't use it in Ukraine?
We already opposed you once, a tiny Finnish army did it. And now we a a zillion times mote prepared
But do not think of yourselves as invincibles. Nobody is. Rather do it with dignity: let your own people live and let other live
Where did your big fella go ? 😅
Who is this superhandsome guy from 5:50 till 6:15? He reminds me of a boy I’m in love with ♥️
Tim, you stated “it’s also humbling just being around so many extraordinary men and women that are serving the country in an amazing way” in the exact same time you didn’t even say bye to “my guy”? Srsly, tho? He waved to you and look how happy, honored and proud he is!
bro russia hasnt been communist for over 30 years
"We are remaining free!" - sure, if you call being a vassal state for USA being free.
Good to know that this guy is stuck in 1991
Seriously...and shilling for propaganda from the Brandon adminstration.
Sad.
🇪🇪
From Estonia here.
I know its not political video here but, this entire situation with war in Ukraine and relations with Russia kind of grinds my gears when i see what certain... groups of people in US think about it! Most common thing i hear is: ''US is meddling in other nations business, doing backdoor deals and thats why Russia had no choice but to invade!''
2nd one is this infamous ''NATO expansion!''
Do they honestly think that all of these small nations here in eastern europe begged, borrowed and licked some boots to join NATO so the US could ''expand''. Im sure it had nothing to do with constant threats coming out of Kremlin!
Sorry to say it but, your avarage american has no clue! Theres a lot of history and bad blood going on around here when it comes to Russia. That includes Ukraine.
Americans like to think that, its all about them while in reality it has very little to do with America!
Don't apologize for speaking the truth.
1. The CIA overthrew a Democratically elected Ukranian President in 2014, and the Victoria Nuland hand-picked the government of Ukraine.
2. When the USA overrides the voice of the people in Ukraine, and then says "Ukraine is going to be in NATO!", the USA PURPOSELY used the people of Ukraine as sacrificial bait to Russia, which has said for 30 years that Ukraine joining NATO is unacceptable, as that would put missiles 300 miles from Moscow.
The USA did this, not Russia.
3. You are either lying about who you are, or lying about the history of Russia w Estonia/Ukraine/NATO
NATO was made to fight against communism and USSR .The USSR collapsed and the main mission was completed and yet NATO is expanding .The idea of a national threat for other soveirgn countries Is a big lie by the globalists to have control .The real communism and cultural Marxism is happening in Europe right now!
Lmao, Ukraine participated with the US in the invasion of Iraq and sent troops under ISAF to Afghanistan even though they arent in NATO... What the f does Ukraine have to do with the middle east? Nothing, but they have a lot to fo with America, the US invaded Cuba because of Soviet influence, Russia is invading Ukraine because of NATO influence, dont know why you're pretending to be suprised that Russia will not allow a country on its border to join the enemy coalition and station missiles there...
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Tim, how do you feel about US and EU being nowadays so afraid of Putin and saying "no" to him? Why always so afraid, why being so coward?
Because of the deep differences when it comes to values, ways of governance and historical alliances.
Communism?? What are you talking about?
Those fear mongers are all full of shit. Putin keeps negotiations open since the start we keep continuing to fight the battle. War is lost get over it. People who want to continue this bloody war are misinformed or get money lined in their pockets
Communism, wut? This isn't Europe forty years ago.
Liked the Training and Cold water therapy but the Russiaphobia stuff is a bit ott imho ?
Not sure if Tim's aware of the trail of disaster the US led Allies invasions regime change policies have left many places over the last 30 years and more ?
Anywhere Tim can go for clout he'll go. Give it a few months and he'll be talking trash about Estonia
Yup.
UFC may have done by far greater damage to Tim's brain than anyone had realized...
Explain...... I mean I'm quite well aware that it is an oligarchy not communist really anymore but are there any other things you could point out
A colony😂
I got to spend a night drinking with a couple Polish Special Forces guys, they are hard as fucking woodpecker lips. And I highly recommend you don’t go shot for shot lol
There is no 15 in 2005.
are they going to get smacked up?
No.
🇺🇲🇧🇷🙏
Only the smart republicans can hear "Ukraine" in the sentence,
and hold all the "It's all corruption, it's child trafficking, it's all about the oligarchs who blah blah blab",
and actually learn something useful (like evading drones, seeing the value of arty vs. expensive precision strikes, etc.)
Luckily there's many smart republicans, Tim being def one of them.
I don't think any smart individual from any ideology is falling for that propaganda
No.
Bs propa video
Oh my god, what a joke.
Bruh thinks Russia is communist
As a Russian citizen who's against the war please let me tell you a few words. First, putin is stuck in Ukraine for so much and for so long. Open the second front is a disaster, and even him, with his narrow mind, realises this. As for war in Ukraine, reality shows us that special forces as a link of military chain could be as tough as possible, but it won't help, because in the full scale war an average professionalism of average soldier is more important.
Kennedy is a clown.
Ok, Ivan from Samara.
It has been sad and disappointjng to watch Kennedy shill for the Brandon admin after criticizing 2A and shilling for Soros.
He's now a complete propaganda tool.
Какой коммунизм, ты нормально себя чувствуешь?😂
As an Estonian we can see that Ukraine is kind of losing. I'm kinda scared about the future but I hope Russia will calm down or turn back to orthodoxy so that they don't really push communism again.
Tim likes red flag laws ain’t that communist?
communism?
For baltics it's a word for russian rebrand
idk why they refer it as communism ,the real communism is in Europe .USSR collapsed a long time ago. Just look what is communism and cultural marxism .It is yet taking place in EU
Tim's a sell out!
Big facts, gun control advocate and fed shill
Narcissist man child.
He took a oath to protect the constitution and has not done that
You forgot to mention where communism has spread the worst. HINT: Its not Estonia.
Worry about our border. Not other countries. Oath breaker.
Korralik propaganda.Täielik bullshi.
I'm gonna ask you to STOP using the term "Eastern Europe" it is an insult to all of the countries that you - westerners and also moscowites are lebaling as such!!!

Yes there is

@@domerame5913 NAFO bot
How is Russia any different? Russia's demographic crisis is much worse than the Estonian crisis! The Russians are slowly but inevitably dying out! The war in Ukraine is for the Russians to forget their domestic problems!
We need to not worry about what’s going on in Europe! Or border is open! Why are you there, Tim? Instead of at our border?
He is seeking attention because that what narcissists do.
Damn, why is FSB getting so sloppy. It's almost sad to watch now.
You have no understanding of the situation here. It is unbeliveably absurd in this day and age to refer to Russia as communist. There is nothing communistic about the country. The oligarchy (and dictatorship) is a product of capitalist shock therapy after the Soviet collapse and western incompetence in relation to reintegrating the country. As an Estonian, I hate sharing a border with Russia and also the reality of being a means for US imperialist ends. Both sides are excruciatingly ignorant.
Stop using the term "Eastern Europe" There are tens of countries there that are very very different. It means nothing when you say "eastern Europe" Poland is very different from Estonia (I love Poland, by the way), Slovenia is another matter, even the Baltics are very different. I ask in the street if Riga where I can get a bus ticket, And they will immediately know I am Estonia. I have asked how do you know, they say that they just do. We are just different.
As for Saunas, it would make sense to do thi sin nature, not in a harbour. So unromantic:)
The most hilarious thing about this video is that Russia isn't even remotely communist😂 Communism died the day Vladimir Putin became president of Russia. Russia today is very capitalistic. Now North Korea is definitely communist but not Russia.
A lot more authoritarian than it is communism
😂 no Russia is not even close to capitalist … all their innovation comes from the govt … & their govt controls the economy … they are unable to be pure communists just like China because as seen in Cuba communism guarantees a failed economy … despite china & russias hybrid models they still fail & their people still suffer & can’t invest in anything let alone leave their money in the bank…
imagine saying communism died when putin became president . You're not the most informed yourself it seems
triggered tankie 😂😂😂
Russia's 2nd largest political party is communist and their soldiers wave communist flags.
There are 15 times more russian babushkas than Estonians. Or, in other words: Estonia 1.3 million citizens, Russia 150 million. Good luck. 🎉
That's why they are in NATO
Clearly you hate the west i can smell it
150 million orcs
have a try, tibla
@fuzer4047 That's what the russians' 6000 nukes
It's amazing how at this point in time you still think that Russia is the bag guys and not the corrupt Ukrainian government. You must be intentionally trying to know the truth or willfully ignoring it.
