  1. Thank-you Jake. You are the best commentator on this war. Thank-you for voting against Trump and therefore for democracy and for Ukraine.

  2.  @dmrr7739  The problem is, it doesn't prevent escalation. russia keeps escalating, not Ukraine/west. For example: Ukraine is asking to fire foreign supplied weapons across the russo-Ukrainian border. russia already surpassed that escalation a year ago as they have been firing foreign supplied (NK, Iran) weapons across the russo-Ukrainian border for some time now.

  3. Thank you for putting democracy ahead of party affiliation.

  4.  @kittredgeseely3542  Elon says he didn't turn Starlink off - but as he's pro-Russian, can you believe what he says.

  5.  @Carrera6rennsport  Sounds like you are describing Russia. Ukraine has had two free and fair elections since the Maidan, and a peaceful transition of power. That is called democracy. When did Russia have it's last free and fair election? Not in the last 30 years - and possibly never. Are you a Russian troll?

  6. Sullivan is worried about how US will "reset" relations with russia after this war is over. I'm worried about how US will reset relations with Ukraine after this war is over. "To the last Ukrainian" - maybe the vatniks are correct on this one.

  7.  @LACHIVA1969  I agree, but this video is about Ukraine. Go find a video about Palestine and express your sentiments there - instead of "Whataboutasizing" here. Slava Ukraini and slava Palestine.

  8.  @SirBedevereTheWise  I don't support the violence. But I don't support Israel. I ask, what other options do the people of Palestine have but to revolt? In 1943, the people in the Warsaw Ghetto staged an uprising. Do you condemn their violence? Or the following year when there was another Uprising. Should they have sat quietly in their ghettos? When you are oppressed and every possible course of justice is cut off, what do you do? Israeli courts and military take no action when armed Israeli settlers take Palestinian land and build settlements - and Israel has given the middle finger to every UN resolution. I hate the violence, but I understand who made them violent - Israel.

  9.  @jonathanstein5049  I think that's a bit OTT. I think it is time legislation is passed to take decisions like that out of the hands of amateurs (and Musk is an amateur at geo-politics).

  10.  @joachimfrank4134  I doubt you are right about the trap, on the other hand I hope you are right. Slava Ukraini.

  11. Thank-you Jake. Thanks for your clear analysis of what's happening.

  12. Hi Jake. Elon Musk's peace point "Crimea formerly part of russia, as it has been since 1783" is a falsehood. Within living memory (~100 years) Crimea has only been part of russia for 9 years - from 1945 to 1954. From 1917-1921 to 1945, Crimea was the "Crimean Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic". Crimea was transferred to the russian SFSR in only in 1945. The russian Empire lost control of Crimea during the Crimean War (1850s) and russians again lost control in WW2 (1942-1944). As the current occupiers of Crimea, the russian claim to the area is about as valid as the German claim in the 1940s. The claim "Crimea is russia" is valid only in the mind of propagandists (and fools). Crimea is Ukrainian. Elon Musk is a fool.

  13. Thank-you for voting to protect democracy and to protect Ukraine.

  14.  @someguy-k2h  "they should never have been allowed in the UN, or the SC". I disagree. They should have been allowed in the UN, but once they broke the UN charter, the SC seat should have been reallocated to a more responsible member of the former USSR.

  17. 51st state??? What about the other nine provinces? 51st to 60th states. And then there are three "territories" who might want statehood too.

  18.  @Gglion_1  spoken like a true russian agent.

  19.  @Gglion_1  That is correct, you "claiming" to not want war is a standard russian talking point. We all know what will happen if russia gets to keep the land it has taken in Ukraine. If you "claim" to want peace, without stating that you want a fair peace (i.e. returning to 1991 borders) then you are a russian agent (whether you realise it or not).

  20.  @Gglion_1  "Who is the propagandist here really?". You are. Take a look in the mirror.

  21.  @Gglion_1  Yes the war will be fought in Europe - unless Ukraine wins in Ukraine.
    2
  22.  @Gglion_1  First Georgia, then Moldova, then a Baltic state . But you are right, the war will be fought in Europe, sooner or later, unless the aggressor is stopped in Ukraine.

  23.  @Gglion_1  But I assume that in your fairytale world russia and Ukraine will kiss and make up, and will all live happily ever after.

  24. ​ @bobpadok5331  Hey Bob. Good joke. As you're a troll I know the opposite must be true. Thanks for confirming that. You've earned your 04c today.

  25. You do know that guy's name is actually Denis Pushilin right? But it does look better with the first two letters transposed. I think Zelenskii can almost be credited with single handedly saving Ukraine. If he'd run when given the chance on 24th February, I suspect Ukraine might have given up and fallen.

  26.  @mikele9878  Mikele is a well known Russian troll. Unfortunately for him, he hasn't woken up yet to the fact that Russia is falling apart.

  27. I agree. I found it really interesting listening to his stories of surviving in occupied Kherson. A bit like my dad's stories of living in occupied Nederland during WW2.

  28. ​ @DeusVult-q3f You sure are delusional. Why don't you do some fact checking?

  29.  @Gardor  Elon may be great at facilitating technological advances (Tesla, Starlink) but he is total unqualified, and arguably inept, when it comes to geopolitics. "but it's also not an easy decision to make in his position" It is a decision he should not be making in his position.

  30. Puti was right - the liberators will be greeted with flowers. Slava Ukraini.

  31.  @miri-hw6gf  No, if you are CEO of Starlink, it is wiser not to get involved in geo-politics - an area this CEO is total unqualified to do. And while Starlink may have helped Ukraine to kill Russians, his actions in this attack has helped Russians kill more Ukrainians.

  34.  @Gglion_1  "World war will cause many more millions of dead." As will a russian victory in Ukraine. As you can't see this, I pity you. Thank-you for confirming that you support russian aggression - and are therefore a russian agent.

  39.  @Gglion_1  "World war will cause many more millions of d...". Which is why we have to continue in Ukraine now, to avoid WW3.

  40.  @Gglion_1  So Ukraine and russia kissed and made peace and all lived happily ever after. Is that what you think will happen. YT censorship prevents me from telling you any of the far more likely scenarios - but they all include WW3.

  41.  @Gglion_1  So we must stop russia now - or in Europe later.

  43. ​ @crose7412  It could get very interesting. I believe Russia will try to take over Belarus immediately Lukashenko dies. It will depend on how fast the Belarusian generals act as to how much of Belarus they can hang on to. This will be another "3 day SMO" and if Belarus can hang on that long they will likely stop Russia. As others have said, Russia's army is fully committed in Ukraine and has very little in reserve. I think the biggest danger is Russia might launch its attempted take over of Belarus before Lukashenko is dead and catch the Belarus army off guard. The other problem is that Russia is already entrenched in Belarus and might already be pulling the strings.

  44.  @davereynolds3403  "if ukraine opted for neutrality like switzerland". I believe even Switzerland is questioning its neutrality now. Maybe if russia had respected it's international treaties "their country wouldn't be in ruins right now !"

  45. Re: the drone attack on Moscow. I'm with Vlad Vexler on this, it is al.ost certainly an attack by Ukraine. If it was a false flag Putin would have killed dozens or even hundreds of Moscovites. But it turns out it was almost certainly an attack on a military base to the west of Moscow. Yes Russia took out approx. 8 of 32 drones in the suburbs near the base. Hopefully most of the remaining 24 drones hit there intended targets on the base.

  46. ​​ @konmoe121  I too read that Ukraine would like all reporting on the progress of this offensive to cease. I'm sure Jake will comply. Edit: it was Zelenskii himself who made the request.

  48. I do not support atrocites. But did you note the father said, in Gaza there would be no food, no water, no light - possibly for months or years. And I ask myself, who would cause there to be no food, no water, no power? Who would cause such a ghetto in this age, that mirrors the ghettos of Warsaw? How can Israel do to Palestinians what the Nazis did to them? I have just unsubscribed. Slava Ukraini, and slava Palestine.

  49. Thank for another informative video. On the subject of Himars, we know that the Russians find it exceedingly difficult to down the current short range missiles. But will the same apply to the larger longer range missiles?

  51. I think the war has at least a year to run. Ask the question again in six months and we'll see if the end is still a further 12 months away. Slava Ukraini.

  52. ​ @MalisKrieg  I believe that in war, neither side will tell the whole truth. But my observations so far lead me to believe that the Russians never let the truth get in the way of manipulating a story. Everything they say seems to be aimed at causing confusion. All the trolls/bots seem to believe that Ukraine is doing what Russia did, and Russia didn't do it - from injuring and killing the locals, to shelling nuclear power stations, to losing aircraft, to being incredibly corrupt. And enough of it is so obviously BS that I no longer believe a word Russia says.

  53. This is the last of your shows that I will watch Jake. You've put up some interesting ideas over the months, but our tastes differ on the subject of Gaza and that has prompted me to part ways. I unsubscribed a few days ago, and I will not watch any more of your videos. Cheerio.

  54.  @mathieusimoneau3358  Just as nonsensical as a country that signed the UN Charter and holds a permanent seat on the security council, making a mockery of said Charter, and constantly threatening atomic war.

  56. It looks like you are playing into the hands of the ruSSians here Jake. You pointed out that they are pleased that the Israel-Gaza conflict is distracting from the ruSSian invasion of Ukraine. Here we have 17 minutes on Ukraine and 12 on Israel-Gaza. Please stop pleasing the ruSSians, and start a separate blog on Israel-Gaza - before you lose regular viewers here. I am poised to walk away from your channel (having already unsubscribed yesterday). Slava Ukraini, and slava Palestine.

  57. I think it's a great idea to trade land for peace. Lets give russia land, in return for the withdrawal of russian troops in Ukraine. As this is Sholtz's idea, lets give East Germany (former GDR) to the russians.

  59. Hi Jake. Information seems to indicate that the strike in Poltava was a military training institute. I note that Zelensky's statement doesn't say that the victims were civilians. This doesn't make things better - but at least it was a legitimate military target (for a change). Hopefully Ukraine will learn from this. Gathering that many personnel in that area was a serious mistake. We need those men fighting on the fronts.
    1
  60.  @laurie9557  Apparently it was. So a legitimate target where most of the victims were located. However there may have also been a strike on a nearby hospital - which is NOT a legitimate target.

  61.  @enriqueperezarce5485  I would agree that's it's probably exaggerated. On the other hand 100,000 is far to low. It would be fair to say that well over the 265,000 Russians are dead, injured or maimed - likely closer to 500,000 dead and maimed Russians. But what does Putin care?
    1
  62.  @jurgnobs1308  Except that Ukrainian estimates are 265k dead Russians (man, that feels good to say). None of us can do more than guestimate the actual numbers - but I feel more comfortable with Russian deaths at 175 to 200k. 100k is far too low. When you look at the meatwave attacks around Bakhmut you account for nearly half of 100,000. There have been many times when Ukraine has taken out hundreds of Russian troops at a time: many Himars strikes; 400+ on the Moskova, etc. and taking into account that an abnormally high number of Russian WIA become KIA.

  64. I predict that within a few months Trump will have outlived his usefulness, and will be assasinated in order that Vance become president. I'm sure that Musk and Thiel regularly review progress with their dismantling of democracy in the US, and it will come to a point where they no longer need having a bozo in the White House.

  71. Like you Jake, I knew almost nothing about Ukraine before 24th February. I knew it was part of the former Soviet Union and maybe it was the one that had elected a comedian as president. Well that former comedian has balls pf steel. I feel that he personally has saved Ukraine. Had he taken the "taxi" on 24th February Ukraine probably would have fallen in Putin's 3 days. And like you (or was it Anna) I believe, had Putin been successful, Moldova, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland would now be in great danger. Then there's eastern Germany and Finland. Ukraine is fighting for the freedom of a large part of the western world and all they ask for is the weapons to do the job. We must give them more support. Belligerent countries like Russia must not be allowed to prevail. Slava Ukraini from New Zealand.

  72. Lindsay Graham is an "interesting" character. Immediately after the events of 6th January, 2021, he said Trump had gone too far, and that he was finished with Trump. Within weeks he had done a complete about-face and went to Mar-a-largo. Here again, a complete about face. A man of resilience and strength of character - NOT.
