Any recommendations for YT channels about (global) politics?
I dunno if you could effectively do a global political channel. In my experience, any coverage of politics needs substantial grounding in the culture of the country. As a feature segment you have to do plenty of background which a native would be well aware of.
There are plenty of British political podcasts that have YouTube channels attached (generally not much beyond a video of the recording).
Examples featuring former politicians include 'The Rest is Politics' and 'Electoral Dysfunction'.

YouTube sucks

Mostly military capability related. Powerpoint level but knowledgeable. Austin and Jim are pretty elderly now though. Beware their over-reaching opinions. I can't believe 'What the Arabs think...' from anyone who can't speak the language.

Dan Carlin needs no introduction. Not as active now.
All I can think of. Social media has been over-run by bad actors with deep pockets.
