  1. "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them." - Arthur Harris, Commander-in-Chief of Bomber Command
    387
  2. You were right about Biden acting after the election. Sad that elections are more important than wise and timely military decisions.
    337
  3. Condolences. He saw enough to know Ukraine will live free.
    253
  4. Some reporters criticize Ukraine for "begging" for weapons. Hard to ask politely after the atrocities.
    170
  5. You wouldn't believe how Americans think the world revolves around them, their little problems, and their beauty concerns.
    123
  6. Kursk may need to be abandoned but the Ukrainians may extract a high price. They sure could use that $6.2 billion in military drawdown right about now.
    111
  7. I doubt that your buddies peed in the tent, either. Norwegians usually pee outside the tent if tradition is followed.
    111
  8. Just sent $25 to Shawn Harris. I'm a Little American with a little bit of cash.
    96
  9. Remember the call from the Orc to his mother confessing that he loved to torture? The Orcs aren't doing as much of that these days. Well, possibly to POWs.
    95
  10. He uses Ukrainian lives as bargaining chips. And when he fails, he stiffens his pencil neck.
    93
  11. "Pardon me boy, is that the North Korean choo choo?"
    89
  12. Czechoslovakia was first partitioned and Hitler took the Sudetenland, occupied by some German speakers. Sound familiar to the strategy in eastern Ukraine?
    87
  13. My love of my country has spread to the Ukrainians. We now know they are home of the brave, just need to be a land of the free. Happy 4th! 🧨🗽🎆🎇
    86
  14. Clearly a place of beauty and civic pride. The Ukrainians will rebuild because they are a mighty and civilized people.
    78
  15. When an attack on a children's cancer hospital was met with a derisive answer about its effect on U.S. policy, we knew nobody was going to wake up. I'm angry, too.
    75
  16.  @katiechapman277  It's a peninsula. And Trump should have been called on his ignorance by the Brit so desperate to ask his next clever question.
    69
  17. Harris said "Nothing comes to mind" when asked about differences with what Biden is doing. Perhaps something will come to mind? Trump will let Ukraine twist in the wind.
    66
  18. 3. Israel voted against condemning the genocide in Ukraine. Wow.
    64
  19. In fairness, that's the only thing the Orcs are good at. They tried to take ground in 2014 and 2015 and got their asses handed to them.
    62
  20. Zelensky, already a multi-millionaire, is clearly in it for the money. He loves leaving his wife and kids behind when he visits the front. Suure he does.
    61
  21. Put fly on forehead of man armed only with sledgehammer. Step back to avoid splash.
    60
  22. There may be shortages of white fabric in Kursk.
    59
  23. Banks loaning money to insolvent people? Greedy Americans went there in 2007. Chickens came home to roost in 2008 and it was ugly.
    57
  24. Duda stepped up early. The first to show up in Kiev.
    57
  25. She will be arrested for lack of patriotic zeal.
    56
  26. It's questionable whether Ruzzia actually left feudalism. A serf by any other name would smell the same (no running water).
    54
  27. The Russians have always been coup coup for Cocoa Puffs. When that fails they go to kinetics. Only worked in Chechnya. Failed everywhere else.
    53
  28. What a fine curator you are, Jake. You really keep up on developments and share them with us in a digested form. Much appreciated! ❤
    53
  29. Don't sweat it. We each do what we can. Do I feel smaller because somebody makes a bigger donation? No! I get the same feeling because my donation is one that fits my financial level.
    52
  30. Stats may be revised downward to avoid payments to families.
    52
  31.  @jimberry8417  She was a medic and transporter of the wounded. I wish I believed in heaven, I swear I do.
    50
  32. No need for such harsh language although it's quite understandable, Old Boy.
    50
  33. Russia's winter offensive was about as offensive as saying "heck."
    49
  34. Vance "wrote articles and took pictures" during his service in Iraq. Semper Fi Marine PR man!
    48
  35. Your heart tells you that you should donate. Your brain tells you how much you can afford. And then your heart tells you to donate a little more, just a little more.
    48
  36. Mike Waltz got Ukraine's current draft age wrong. It's 25 not 26. Let's hope he briefs himself on other topics before he opines on what Ukraine should do.
    48
  37.  @jacobjorgenson9285  You misspelled "Russia."
    47
  38. Allowing a running burglar to rest is not wise.
    45
  39. They should be called "chunk bags" because it's rare that an Orc is complete.
    44
  40. A problem for the Ruzzians is that they get used to intimidating and lying to their own people and don't understand when it doesn't work on others.
    44
  41. The Ukrainians seem to have inherited a high level of physical courage. Yes, training and experience increases that, but they just have it. They are also polite and enjoy a joke. I am still trying to figure out what makes them tick. They are warlike but gentle. I only know this so far, I admire them and feel they are worth saving.
    44
  42. Didn't know NATO accepted donations. NAFO does. Awesome!
    44
  43. Don't you hate when a moron becomes a billionaire? And then he supplies free satellite service to freedom fighters. And then he wants money! That burns me up. What happened to our charities?
    43
  44. As though Russia follows laws, even its own.
    43
  45.  @SirBedevereTheWise  The Flying Dutchman is a ghost ship, not a pirate ship.
    42
  46. The decency of the Forrests in Australia made me cry. They don't let wide oceans blur their thinking. I feel the same way about all the others who donate. :_heart:
    41
  47. You should be. Always at the front of the line to step up for Ukraine. Not scared to tweak Putin's nose.
    41
  48. His old routine. Feign ignorance, advocate for punishment and demotion of those responsible. "KGB man's Secrets to Success Without Really Trying."
    39
  49. When the fighting ended in Mariupol the torture, kidnapping, and murder were just getting started.
    39
  50. Kursk proved that Russia knew it wasn't threatened.
    39
  51. Maduro is still there. An autocratic dictator is hard to dislodge.
    38
  52. Yes, the engineers and all involved should know that records are being kept.
    38
  53. Ukraine is about to make Moskow look like Hiroshima. No more escalation controls.
    38
  54.  @KingBlaisy  Pretending you have a toilet only gets respect and dates in Russia.
    38
  55. Got my 1,000 Days of War patch. Kirk Douglas, Kirk Douglas just like Sgt. Carter.
    37
  56. Inherited valor. And you get a hat big enough for an individual radar system.
    36
  57. Oh, I had no idea that Russian was flying airliners near the war. Looks like a case of human shields.
    36
  58. President Zelensky was asked in an interview aired today by Bret Baier, "If you get the funding, what does it look like and, the other way, if you don't, what does it look like?" As part if his answer, Zelensky said, "Will Ukrainians survive without Congress's support? Of course. But not all of us." This made me start crying.
    35
  59. Beautiful and trained in medicine. A precious jewel.
    35
  60.  @KolyaUrtz  That's riiight. Russia played the game of Risk! and can't hold Ukraine.
    35
  61. ATACMS are a Flying Fickle Finger of Fate. If you get this reference, you're old!
    35
  62. It's the least we can do.
    35
  63. Treat Putin like a contractor to Trump and tell him the check's in the mail.
    35
  64. America needs to stop micromanaging and send the approved aid. Let the Ukrainians dole it out based on their good judgement. An alternative to Jake's view is that deliveries were stalled as punishment for not alerting Washington, known to lead to leaks but enraging escalation managers.
    34
  65. Jake won our hearts. And our minds because he works so hard at curating the best material and offering his take. But he won our hearts mostly.
    34
  66. Worse than that, some make excuses for not stopping the genocide. Their words are being recorded for history.
    33
  67. I thought Zelensky's facial expressions when Trump became unhinged were hilarious. Very nuanced and honest.
    33
  68. Can all the immigrants be sent to Hungary to help them?
    33
  69. This Kasparov guy seems smart.
    33
  70. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!" With the right interrogation techniques, Putin can blame anyone he likes.
    33
  71. No, we just need the White House to listen to Ben Hodges. But they didn't.
    32
  72. It's worse for us who paid trillions in taxes over the decades to prepare to counter Russian aggression. Our purchases sit in warehouses.
    32
  73. I'm no believer in the supernatural but this was a cultural icon. The Orcs claimed it was being used for war manufacturing. It wasn't. But now that their supernatural being is apparently different, it's OK with the Zombie filth.
    32
  74.  @philipem1000  Yes, and Putin's invasion in 2014 and occupation of Crimea created no obligation for the signers to do jack, and so they didn't. Now we reap the bitter fruit of that inaction. Perhaps we can sign another pointless treaty to give Russia a rest before they resume the war in a few years?
    32
  75. All of us have longer legs from Putin's repeated pulling.
    32
  76. When I saw she didn't want the present or the flowers, just Dad . . . my allergies acted up. Darned allergies.
    31
  77. I followed the invasion in 2014 and was convinced we would step in. But, just like Hungary in '56 and Czechoslovakia in '68, the U.S. ignored it, even though we waded in hip deep in places like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. After Bucha, pretty hard for any decent American to ignore. We Americans take our freedom for granted and seem to step in to free others for reasons that remain hidden.
    30
  78. Agreed. She really wants to know the fate of her son. Wondering what motive the government would have to conceal the news from her.
    30
  79. What do you get when you cross a Cossack with a Viking? A guy who crushes a helmet with his head and strikes fear into the hearts of Orcs, who will run and abandon their armor.
    30
  80. Happy Labor Day to one of the hardest workers on YouTube! Your emphasis on logistics and economics convinced me early on that Putin's Folly would end in disaster.
    29
  81. No sweat. Not everybody is in the position to donate.
    29
  82. I'm with you, brother.
    29
  83. The little boy who cried peace is now ignored forever. His people will devour him.
    28
  84. The Putin trolls are very low quality compared to 2014. You could tell that some had advanced degrees and knew history. Guess the turnips ran out.
    28
  85. Hooliganism for its own sake. No strategic purpose.
    27
  86. One doesn't merely ask a thief to return the stolen goods. Germany was subdivided, Japan was occupied and, since Russians like to celebrate victory, they will understand that naked aggression has consequences.
    27
  87. Our Pentagon sells old weapons at retail to Congress and the money goes to contractors making new gear. Pretty slick.
    27
  88. Vote for the competent and sane. Ukraine needs our help.
    27
  89.  @raven4k998  He's losing but accustomed to getting his way by being stubborn. A real child star.
    27
  90. Right wing, left wing. Those who talk thusly lack the intellectual rigor to go beyond sports team loyalty.
    27
  91. Those workers in the Scranton plant should be proud that they are defending freedom, not just doing a job.
    27
  92. I hope that Putin is fattening up Ukrainian POWs to get back his conscripts, not like contract troops. Jake points out the difference.
    27
  93. It feels good, doesn't it?
    27
  94. Putin likely extended his long table. Gazprom has a private army and may request a meeting.
    27
  95. You left off Cuba, taken by one little green man but received tons of aid and even nukes (for a while).
    26
  96. Wish America had supplied some Abrams. Maybe the Europeans deserve to dominate the tank market. At least they show up when requested.
    26
  97. It might happen in Russia but half the food would have gone to corruption and the rest of it adulterated with sawdust.
    26
  98. Sullivan has no training in military science and is at odds with Ben Hodges, who doesn't have a channel but speaks on many channels, large and small. I have him on permanent search.
    26
  99. Agree on reparations for generations aka "as long as it takes." Speaking of payoffs, is TikTok buying the new TrumpCoin? I just read in Forbes that the price dropped on the issue of the new MelaniaCoin. Gee, I wish I could print my own currency, GremCoin.
    26
  100. His comments about Russian lack of discipline, cold training, and hygiene along with a concern for long-term Ukrainian maintenance logistics reveal a ground-level military perspective. He understands the big picture and obviously keeps up on the news, too. That Russian semi-mutiny about getting paid just happened.
    26
  101. She crawled out from under the barrel, but so have other politicians.
    26
  102. Slight correction, more subscribers need her! 😃
    26
  103. I am a US normal and am horrified at humans who can overlook real evil in our time.
    25
  104. Really? Show them the photos from Bucha and then punch them in the nose.
    25
  105.  @corneliusantonius3108  Putin fled when Prigozhin even got close. Imagine how many spider holes he has.
    25
  106. So much casual evil. They made their bed, let them sleep in it.
    25
  107. You will remember this for all your days. You did something.
    25
  108. Nutrition deprivation affects growth and brain development. So the 90% of NK's population, the "hostiles," are kept down permanently.
    25
  109. Hey cats 'n' kittens, Ben Hodges is on Perun today. Lots of technical questions about training for and by the Ukrainians. Yes, it is everybody's conflict.
    25
  110. Heroyam Slava!💙💛
    25
  111. Mike Johnson doesn't feel shame. He wants all pregnancies to culminate in a child, whether wanted or not.
    25
  112. To remind us of the French contribution, we should call them "SCALP Shadows," also seen across the ground as the tops of Orc heads fly into the distance. Vive la liberte! 🗽
    24
  113. Heroyam Slava!
    24
  114. American politicians take note. Jake is a hep cat, an influencer, and now a potential kingmaker. Jake gives reasons for his opinions about policies and people. We listen and we donate.
    24
  115. We kind of dropped the ball in 2014 when Putin took his first bite.
    24
  116. It's good to have something nice to cry about. I'm tired of the other kind but know they're still coming.
    24
  117. The UK showed true leadership while the U.S. dithered and dawdled.
    24
  118. Trump was the first to supply Javelins, which came in handy during the liquidation of the initial invasion convoy. Now we will see if he's a serious leader of the Free World.
    24
  119. He wears brown shoes with a blue suit. Leaves a bad taste. And he wants to punish accidental pregnancy with forced motherhood.
    24
  120. Canadian oil wasn't tariffed. Time to tax outgoing oil that supplies almost 60% of crude to America.
    24
  121. Putin is a cross between Stalin and Hitler. He's a crafty Staller.
    24
  122. Hey, welcome to the club funding massive defense bills! In America we do it mostly for jobs. We're as addicted to defense spending as we are to illegal immigrant labor. 😃
    23
  123. Ditto. Never should have gotten to this point. 17:33 How the heck are companies in Arkansas getting more defense money than California?
    23
  124. The major artificial famine called Holodomor happened before the war. There may well have been famine after the war. Heroyam Slava!
    23
  125. I would have also enjoyed a back-of-the-envelop calculation of how many Orc lives it will cost. Jake's good at that sort of thing!
    23
  126. Trump turned out to be a tater and got . . . by Putin.
    23
  127. His criticism of the American weapons rationing is right on. America needs leaders committed to a quick victory and restoration of Ukraine. Letting it drag on is destructive, like putting out part of a fire.
    23
  128. MUGA! Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!
    23
  129. Irreplaceable historical buildings being destroyed isn't important to our American reporters. Many majored in journalism with a minor in political science, because they want to change the world, not report on it.
    22
  130. Russia risks getting deserts along with its just desserts. Don't know the Russian word for "brinksmanship" but Putin flogs it like a borrowed mule.
    22
  131. Johnson wants unwanted babies to be born. Obviously not concerned with the misery of others.
    22
  132. Zelensky honors the courage of the defenders every day during his messages on UATV. He names particular units who have commended themselves in the defense of their land. Every day he does this. And then he goes to the front (which I don't like) and presents medals.
    22
  133. Those unattractive Naked Partiers in Moscow are reminiscent of the elites in the Hunger Games.
    22
  134. Putin just poked the South Korean hornet's nest. Jake is the first to note it. American journalists are so into election porn that they don't care.
    22
  135. It needs to be broken up like the phone company was.
    22
  136. Or maybe running a fully loaded fuel train was considered tempting fate.
    22
  137. Greene should focus on the problem of inbreeding in her district but it might threaten her political future.
    21
  138. Word "obligated" not in Ruzzian dictionary. 42 words for deceive, 95 for cheat, 2,459 for steal.
    21
  139. Mark Miley, a self-described military expert and Crimea defeatist, never predicted this.
    21
  140. If a donation doesn't sting, it's not a sacrifice. Thank you!!!!
    21
  141. If I were Zelenski, I wouldn't share anything sensitive with the Americans. Israel doesn't.
    21
  142. Some have called Trump a fascist who won't step down at the end of his term. That sounds like a clear and present danger.
    21
  143. Oh, Anna mentioned that was happening. All Ukrainians are champs today!
    21
  144. Hmmm, surprised that car is in one piece. Which city in the USA?
    21
  145. There are some others worth following, like UATV.
    21
  146. The Russians can hold their gains at great expense. A cease fire will cost them like American bases but they can't borrow the way we do. $850 billion a year is several times Russia's entire economy.
    20
  147. And back to barbarian morals.
    20
  148. Hitler was heavily medicated as he directed phantom armies near the end. Putin seems to be high on 23 years of being Tsar, kind of like a child movie star (but not Ron Howard, he's cool).
    20
  149. And very succinctly.
    20
  150. Lex is a useful tool. His inoffensive, naïve platform is perfect for launching high-value payloads, as Zelensky demonstrated. He was not selected at random.
    20
  151. Perhaps Kaliningrad could be treated as a frozen asset and sold off to repair Ukraine?
    20
  152. I heard it the other year.
    20
  153. I remember that video! Someone else has been showing photos of another purported double. Not even close.
    20
  154. Keep on Rocking in the Free World. Thank you, good Human.
    20
  155. This sends a message to politicians who think they can ignore Ukraine.
    20
  156. I watched "Winter on Fire: Ukraine's Fight for Freedom" before Feb. 24. The film shows the almost suicidal bravery of the Ukrainians yearning to breath free. The Maidan Revolutionaries are just ordinary people. They really are willing to die to stay free. If you admire courage, highly recommended.
    19
  157. If you look up Schuster's previous articles, e.g. he wrote the Zelensky Time's Man of the Year article, something recently changed.
    19
  158. Sometimes I get overwhelmed and start to cry.
    19
  159.  @JakeBroe  There are angels and they walk the Earth, often going unnoticed.
    19
  160. Very interesting, Jake! Irrespective of Russia, domestic oil production depends heavily on money borrowed from investors. With higher interest rates coming from the Fed, if investors can get a good return on bonds, they may be hesitant to lend to wildcatters and majors. Some funds like Black Rock already have boycotted investment in oil production (called out by politicians as not being helpful re: inflation). Some oil companies have indicated that they will buy back stocks instead of investing their recent gains in new exploration. The elephant in the room is Saudi Arabia which can't or won't produce more. An economic slowdown, the "pain" Powell mentions, may reduce demand. I guess my point is that a slowdown may also affect oil production and increase oil prices. Will it be a wash? Am I full of hogwash? Could be! The good news is that Russia's economy is doomed for multiple reasons. There is the stink of blood on their money and a taint on anyone who trades with them.
    19
  161. Ditto!
    19
  162. Now you're talking!
    19
  163. They already had a tank parade in Vuhledar. It got rained on.
    18
  164. Some democrats voted against it, including Bernie Sanders. 22 republican Senators voted for it. Maybe party thinking is too simplistic?
    18
  165. LOL excellent point!
    18
  166. Every day I refresh my russophobia by watching the STERNENKO YT channel. Usually has subs in English. Funny as hell.
    18
  167. A question about the abducted children would have be met with a long story about Russia still owning Alaska.
    18
  168. The comments on the donor wall are remarkably troll free! Pretty cool to see all the countries and all the generous people.
    18
  169. Ben Shapiro might be excellent to link aid from Congress to Ukraine with aid to Israel. This is the proven best way to defend Ukraine.
    18
  170. I'm disgusted with Americans who view complex problems as a simple choice between parties. The fake bill then the real aid bill in the Senate was pure political theater. What do the border, Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan have in common? Recipe ingredients.
    18
  171. As an American, thanks go to the British for offering moral and political leadership when our government stumbled along behind.
    18
  172. These are all good places to send donations. It doesn't matter where I give, it always feels good. Just sent some cash today. Take my word for it, you won't believe how good it feels.
    18
  173. Greenlanders should hold out for more money!😃
    18
  174. Not detecting much gratitude despite the Trump and Vance crocodile tears demanding gratitude and respect from Zelensky.
    18
  175. I found this interesting about the Warthog. "The A-10 was used in combat for the first time during the Gulf War in 1991, with 132 being deployed.[97][11] A-10s shot down two Iraqi helicopters with the GAU-8 cannon. . . . In the beginning of the war, A-10s flew missions against the Iraqi Republican Guard, but due to heavy attrition, from the 15 February they were restricted to within 20 nautical miles (37 km) of the southern border.[103][104] *A-10s also flew missions hunting Iraqi Scud missiles*." Perhaps Warthogs could hunt Putinist missiles fired deep into Ukraine at civilian targets?
    18
  176. Kamala was a bad pick. Vance was a bad pick. Can we all agree on that?
    17
  177. They tried to bulldoze a giant boulder hidden in the man who stood up to Russia.
    17
  178.  @thewb8329  We do. Not sure how Gazprom can make money by flaring gas. Reverse carbon credits? Don't think even Tom Selleck is selling those.
    17
  179. It's exciting that Biden is getting the aid flights going just in time.
    17
  180. And the horse you rode in on, shirtless.
    17
  181. Thanks for your personal story.
    17
  182. No experience required.
    17
  183. Archivists in Russia? They erase people from old photos, their main job.
    17
  184. I love to hear about first time donations. Feels good, doesn't it?
    17
  185. Trump didn't scare the Senate into not passing the latest aid bill. Bipartisan votes were 70, above the required 60.
    17
  186. As a thank you for this discussion, I am sending a donation for NAFO directly to you Jake, because I didn't see their PayPal address. I have all the patches I need for now.
    17
  187. Disciplined soldiers know they have to toe the line of civilized behavior once a POW has been captured. The Russians starve the Ukrainian POWs. Russian has descended into barbarity and no amount of kneeling peasants will change that.
    17
  188. Third patch for me, too. Other fundraisers don't give patches. They just take the money and stand up to evil. That's cool with me.
    17
  189. Saw this on the Patreon channel but love seeing it again. Jammers and tires included with every Broehickle is so smart. Project Konstantine is still accepting donations in the memory of Pete.
    16
  190. I am continually amazed at the Kiwi interest in seeing justice done thousands and thousands of miles away. I've only known one Kiwi personally here in the states and she is quite remarkable.
    16
  191. It was NATO expansion that had to result in this cruelty. Sure it was.
    16
  192. I voted for Nikki. She won the debates. I don't consider elections like betting on a horse race. My dad taught me that you vote your conscience.
    16
  193. Abandon emotions and send cash to political opponents to the Trump people. We have two years and I'm counting on Jake to inform us. During the primaries.
    16
  194. Timid Joe.
    16
  195. What about those who are Jewish? Hindu? Muslim?
    16
  196. American politicians treat Zelensky as though he's as unreliable as they are. It's an insult.
    16
  197. If you draw a line on the price of oil BEFORE Putin's failed bid for greatness, it extrapolates through to the current price. Not seeing a reason for $50 go juice. Willing to listen and know you are smart! Liked your comments on T Bonds sucking off alternative investments. I like USAC, FLNG, and KNOP for the dividends. Big fan here and love your Ukraine coverage!
    16
  198. His leg was jumpy earlier.
    16
  199. They would be spinning to see the unvetted newcomer border cheaters.
    16
  200. Hey, Ukraine can hold a quickie referendum and declare the locals in favor. What's sauce for the goose . . . . Moldova would love it!
    16
  201. High gas prices bad, tell Ukraine to make more sacrifices for the dribble administration.
    16
  202. I like it. I'm only an American but I donate. And I watch the Ukrainian holocaust and remember. I promised this long ago on a video by president Zelensky. I will not be distracted.
    16
  203. Limited in type and location. Yes, more micromanagement by the clever boys in D.C.
    16
  204. The text says that "Kharitonov was buried in Russia's Rostov region" and congratulates Mariana on her new car.
    16
  205. Lack of security a little reminiscent of Jan. 6, including the casual attitude about two pipe bombs.
    16
  206.  @Mountain_Lake_Adventures  His son should be held to protect him and for possible trade.
    16
  207.  @riparianlife97701  I believe they're also called cracking towers. But a cracking good depot fire.
    16
  208. Now looky, in her part of Georgia she's a regular Einstein.
    15
  209.  @CleoKawisha-sy5xt  Americans are weapons rich. We have stockpiles amassed over decades from taxes and borrowing. We can share without impinging one iota on our national security. And we've talked a lot of talk about freedom and self-determination.
    15
  210. We shouldn't have put them through this. Still, this proves that 75% of Americans approve and want to approve more. We Can Do This.
    15
  211. You are braver than I.
    15
  212. Agree. But only 50% of oil revenues for generations until damages are recovered. Only send one Putin leg to the Hague for now.
    15
  213.  @kevinkijowski5980  The U.S. has figurately mugged Ukraine by using retail prices for fully depreciated weapons, not saleable, and facing the cost of disposal.
    15
  214. I lost faith in 2014 when the cavalry failed to show up for Ukraine.
    15
  215. Nice!
    15
  216. Courage makes me cry, too. Don't tell the Ukrainians. They don't lose it and keep on the Viking game face.
    15
  217. A lot of people don't know a lot of stuff.
    15
  218. And firing missiles from the Caspian Sea. These crews are subject to prosecution for crimes against humanity.
    15
  219. Return on investment calculation, Washington is not so good. Decades of tax-funded gear sitting in warehouses. And dithering on the $6.2 billion Lend Lease freed up by the audit. Color me not green with envy of the brain power at work.
    15
  220. Russians claimed to be scared of skeeters, now scared of scooters.
    15
  221. But they're having an investigation.
    15
  222. That fits all the evidence. But why couldn't a body double attend the parade? The real reason might be an expected terrible turnout by the public.
    15
  223.  @probium2832  Ha! Don't throw a fitso.
    15
  224.  @vanettevanhuyssteen5548  I get overwhelmed by the courage and love. It's when I know the Ukrainians aren't alone.
    15
  225. Stopped being worth it long ago. He should be asked to step down.
    15
  226.  @justy1189  That's the spirit! I once did the same for a lady who said she couldn't pay. But I had seen her comment a lot.
    15
  227. I hate how our government borrows and spends like drunken sailors. The only solution for the massive national debt? Runaway inflation that will make a dollar worth less and therefore make the debt inconsequential.
    15
  228.  @andersjjensen  I've seen a bunch of comments that say the Ukrainians should break apart the cluster munition shells to get grenades for drones. That's armchair IQ for you.
    15
  229. I did not know there were 800,000 Polish Americans in Pennsylvania.
    15
  230. So confident in their opinions. "I ain't a caring about them fereigners."
    15
  231. Remember Saddam with the British children hostages? Same basic deal.
    15
  232.  @its_Today_  Every time I think about Jake raising more than a million, I just beam. The quality of his broadcasts since the beginning has been no accident! 😃
    15
  233. Farage has "walked back" his comments, clumsily and too late. As we surfers say, he ate it.
    15
  234. But he can read at a Dr. Seuss level which came as a surprise. What a show-off!😃
    15
  235. The lack of security is suspicious, like its absence on Jan. 6 and the lack of concern about the pipes that were found.
    15
  236. D-Day could have been a debacle and Eisenhauer had prepared remarks for that eventuality, "Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."
    14
  237. Watching Kamala Harris in action is truly terrifying. It's just bad acting with hand motions.
    14
  238. Denys also took apart Ramalamadingdong's claims about Ukraine being undemocratic, one by one. How could someone so ignorant become rich? Looking forward to the video expose of the con.
    14
  239.  @davidknell9676  Suchomimus is constantly hosting fundraisers on his YT channel.
    14
  240. North Korean families may even be punished for "their" soldier's excess of desire for self-preservation.
    14
  241. Good advice to Prince Longtable.
    14
  242. Ukraine's best are being lost while killing Ruzzia's worst.
    14
  243. Here in the wild west we say, "F you and the horse you rode in on."
    14
  244. Same here. But tears are rarely the way for the Ukrainians. Tough as nails and love their country, keeping a stiff upper lip and biting the rawhide as the bullet is dug out. Glory to the heroes.
    14
  245. Notice how kind the Ukrainians are to the stork which may have previously met other Ukrainians, a gentle, peace loving people. They are worth saving.
    14
  246. Blue-eyed soul or brown-eyed soul, this guy represents a lot of other guys who weren't videoed.
    14
  247. The Saudis also don't like the Houthis which the U.S. has been managing.
    14
  248. Doesn't Ukraine need ATACMS more than Morocco? Your reasoning is convincing that the UK and France have taken the role of actual leaders with less materiel.
    14
  249.  @flagmichael  Maybe not. Will records be kept on deceased versus deserters?
    14
  250. Donated at patch level. Still have to fill in the form about the patch, which is always kind of kludgy. Look at me complaining!
    14
  251. I did, too. But it made me think of the wives and girlfriends not there. Our love for the Ukrainians is going to make this end in victory and peace.
    14
  252. Otherwise it's letting Putin shoot fish in a barrel.
    14
  253. Jake's right. The corporations were given a looong time to bail out.
    14
  254. Heroyam Slava!💙💛🦝
    14
  255. In fairness, some organized crime outfits last for a long time.
    14
  256. Torturer clowns they are. Real horror show characters.
    14
  257. Seim River, different day. Ukraine politely requests that Orcs leave the area on foot.
    14
  258. Russians should vote for Pat Paulsen. Anyone left who remembers Pat's campaign? Denys pointed out that Biden let the Lend Lease approval run out. Now he's in a bind.
    14
  259. I always get goosebumps at air shows. My tax dollars at work. It's now time to really put that investment to work.
    14
  260. That poor pooch has a limp. This is not cool!
    13
  261. For their own sake, they must accept utter defeat and the coming tolls on trade.
    13
  262. JD is a hillbilly by his own admission.
    13
  263. Jake, keep in mind that those dams going up the Dnipre River aren't under Orc control. Maybe they will attempt to use missiles, and fail, proving that Ukraine couldn't have done the latest dirty deed. You rock, as usual.
    13
  264. Very unreliable. All it takes is a word from Joe. Yes.
    13
  265. I'm hoping that Jill Biden agrees with you. I don't think she likes war, she likes being important.
    13
  266. Agreed. Stubbornness on control is getting Ukrainians killed and wounded. First they went off on Christmas break and then came back to dig in their heels. It's all about their personal and party power. Both sides need to realize they can't have it all their way and come to an agreement ASAP.
    13
  267. It's ironic that Mike Johnson's nickname is "Oily Discharge."
    13
  268. The Orcs bleed out when their "buddies" run.
    13
  269. It's unforgiveable and it needs to end ASAP. The Arsenal of Democracy needs to get over its cold feet.
    13
  270. Thank you Denmark from California, USA.
    13
  271. President Zelensky was asked in an interview aired today by Bret Baier, "If you get the funding, what does it look like and, the other way, if you don't, what does it look like?" As part if his answer, Zelensky said, "Will Ukrainians survive without Congress's support? Of course. But not all of us. And if we understand this price, if the world is ready for this, OK you will see it. But it's tragedy."
    13
  272. He's done it several times. I've seen two prior visits that were recorded.
    13
  273. I don't think anything will make her happy.
    13
  274. Zelensky was told he needs "cards." Okey dokey, let's do an Operation Nickel Grass. You want to threaten me with gambling with WWIII, hold my beer.
    13
  275. I would prefer to be dead than "missing" to die of thirst under rubble. A rough way to go.
    13
  276. The arrogance of Fridman is revealed when he invites Zelensky to Joe Rogan. The world is his oyster, he thinks.
    13
  277. I call on all the ridiculous people of both parties to step down. We all know who they are.
    13
  278. A lot of bad ideas, starting with blurting out unsolicited, "No boots on the ground."
    13
  279. Curious what Trump will extort from Taiwan.
    13
  280. I can't imagine how good this makes you feel, Jake. It makes us feel great, too!
    13
  281.  @ukraine_tbic  Some of us aren't going to stop 'til it's over over there. That includes rebuilding.
    13
  282. The Ukrainians have no choice.
    13
  283. Ukraine's leaders take initiative. Ours talk about them.
    12
  284.  @Nostripe361 Countries that don't repel invasions by those without permission don't really have a country. If they have a welfare system and allow illegal immigration, they are running an international charity where their neighbors can dump the poor.
    12
  285. President Zelensky has options to stop being "Mr. Nice Guy" when it comes to drone targets.
    12
  286. People seemed to get a kick out of running our own human-powered "algorithm" to correct YouTube's.
    12
  287. Kind of like throwing eggs from a lambo. Your vehicle can be confiscated!
    12
  288. Keep on rockin' in the free world.
    12
  289. NATO says Ukraine can't join NATO because it's in the midst of a conflict. That's against NATO policy.
    12
  290.  @JakeBroe  Heroyam Slava! We love you, buddy.❤🔱
    12
  291. Thank you for your generosity to United24. Giving at least let's one say, "I did something."
    12
  292.  @vlado3304  But we're rich and you aren't. How did that happen?
    12
  293. Obviously paid Orban to "get the f out."
    12
  294. That guy in Mariupol was not Putin. I also knew wrestling was fake early on. It takes an eye.
    12
  295. I'm not Ukrainian American but I stand with Ukraine.
    12
  296. Remarkable Ukrainian fighters and deserved more weapons and training earlier to keep more of them alive. Perhaps the Pentagon doesn't need $800 billion a year since they can't seem to handle a basic logistics problems after a year? Maybe a leaner budget would motivate?
    12
  297. Again trying to make the Americans look like cheapskates! I pull your leg because I love you! ❤
    12
  298.  @zacharywolter  Relax. Democracy is alive and well. Votes for aid mirrored polls.
    12
  299. They're also funny, which takes a few brain cells.
    12
  300. Trust your feelings. And then tune into Jake to inform your thought process.
    12
  301. The person who named the Sea Baby will come to Madison Avenue after the war. Marketing genius!
    12
  302.  @bulldog71ss33  There are others who should have shown up. The President doesn't go to every train wreck.
    12
  303. "We have next angel." "I am ready." Tears are still flowing. I just sent 100 pounds. Glad I didn't know the guy better to spare myself. I'm selfish.
    12
  304. 120 returned, hundreds of thousands to go.
    12
  305. Based on his patches I'm guessing bed pan cleaner.
    12
  306. I feel that Putin is more of a "half alive" optimist, not a "half dead" pessimist when it comes to his troops.
    12
  307. I would prefer "as soon as possible" to "as long as it takes." But I'm not in the government and don't understand politics.
    12
  308. And a big money saver since $90 million from donors has been frozen.
    12
  309. American engagement in Vietnam started with advisors.
    12
  310. Operator Starsky has several colorful phrases for the Russicts.
    12
  311. Looks like he was uninformed as a candidate with four years of experience as President. Or was selling real estate where he was only a squatter.
    12
  312. In fairness, those anti-corruption guys did prevent others from getting those millions. I'll bet you're right, they anti-corrupted the wrong mobsters.
    12
  313. 1984 would delete Wikipedia.
    12
  314.  @christianbay7614  Taking away the Speakership from Kevin McCarthy required 100% of the democrats. It was "historical," exciting, and threw a wrench into the House functioning because they also voted 100% for Hakeem Jeffries during multiple votes for the replacement Speaker. They were delighting in dysfunction. So the republicans voted 100% for Johnson to teach them a lesson. Dysfunction, thy name is Johnson.
    12
  315. The guy with the bionic arm is amazing, too.
    12
  316. Heroyam Slava! American government doesn't run mining companies so some missing players in the deal.
    12
  317. Again you made me cry with the footage of that lady. Darn you, Jake! Grow out your hair for a fundraiser.
    12
  318. Anyone who's played the board game Risk! understands that conquering a region brings with it additional resources to continue attacking. In the game, Ukraine plays a pivotal role, constituting part of Europe and a barrier to attacks from the east.
    12
  319. I believe rock and roll led to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but it's only an hypothesis.
    12
  320. In America we have red team/blue team on our TVs all day long. The regular people just want to live free and help the Ukrainians live free, too. That's what I think.
    12
  321. Just a small note. You take it "seriously" not serious. Seriously is the adverb that modifies the verb "take." I make this note because I correct my friends, especially the most serious ones! ♥
    11
  322. I'm noticing that the retired cats and kittens seem to "get" the whole freedom and democracy thing for Ukraine. Thank you for your donation!
    11
  323. Even better, she has principles. That's rare in politicians who traded them away early on.
    11
  324. Kind of like "As long as it takes." Ukraine got suckered on that one.
    11
  325. And politicians around the world should stop offering to talk to Putin on Zelensky's behalf. As Jake's clip at 17:38 shows, it's immoral and gives Putin hope that he can talk his way out.
    11
  326. AND we're standing up against war crimes and crimes against humanity. Sorry to be so non-Machiavellian.
    11
  327. Every patriotic American can relate to his words. We are a special place.
    11
  328. Before showing ruined buildings were OK for YouTube, but now with Gaza being leveled, showing destroyed buildings must be demonetized. Yes, there are children trapped under the rubble slowly dying of thirst so YouTube's sudden sensitivity is understandable.
    11
  329.  @JakeBroe  I just read an article about how Russia's population will be halved by the end of the century.
    11
  330. American here. Kamala Harris got 75 million votes. I want to hear her voice. Because I have a sense of humor and irony.
    11
  331. Good one! 🏆
    11
  332. Not just good, hard working and organized. They are worth saving.
    11
  333. Delighted to see you participating in fundraising! It's an opportunity to donate directly to protecting freedom.
    11
  334. We need a better clearance process for those claiming to be Christian.
    11
  335.  @andersjjensen  Yes, and UATV English's Henry Keen. He's funny. Starsky retired from the military but he's still Ukrainian to the bone. To the bone.
    11
  336. Heroyam Slava! I would have missed the tail end if it weren't for YT flagging this video. Of course I went back and watched from the beginning and read the chat.
    11
  337. Thanks for the warning. I'm angry enough as it is. I don't need to see any more.
    11
  338. I'm so excited by the two candidates, how could I resist?
    11
  339. "Keeps your friends close and your enemies closer." Orban can be controlled with snacks and praise.
    11
  340. The good feeling pays back my donations instantly. Thank you, Jake, for vetting these opportunities.
    11
  341. Just donated $102 for Victor. My name won't show but my message is "Jake sent me."
    11
  342. Why would anyone read what Russian bloggers write?
    11
  343.  @qZbGmYjS4QusYqv5  Well, that's pretty obvious.
    11
  344. As a rational being, I never trust anything a politician says without evidence of a big campaign contribution.
    11
  345. It's still better than American TV coverage. They brought on a bunch of experts who knew nothing. Asked them a bunch of dumb questions. Embarrassing to watch. Beaten by YouTube six ways from Sunday.
    11
  346. Bret Baier today on FOX during an interview with Zelensky aired statements of three Senators batting their gums about not spending money on the Ukrainians. They are JD Vance (R Ohio) , Josh (yes, his real name) Hawley (R Missouri), and Tommy (yes, his real name) Tuberville (R Alabama - Unsure if there's a real town called Tuberville). Their opponents will be receiving campaign contributions.
    11
  347. Don't forget about the channel Ukie Accordions. If you like traditional Ukrainian songs on accordion, it's the sort of thing you will like!
    11
  348. I prefer the term "tottering." Russia was teetering before the war.
    11
  349.  @ground_news  Thank you for your support! Great idea to note how news outlets lean.
    11
  350. Without the equivalent of a Marshall Plan, as carried out after WWII, Ukraine will be subject to further problems.
    11
  351. Thanks for the link to Witch. Glory to her and all the other heroes!
    11
  352. New contracts to make weapons are tremendously exciting to politicians. Draw downs of old arms don't create jobs. The story was that Abrams armor is too secret to risk in Ukraine. If one would understand how things work, remember 1) Follow the money and 2) Behind every good reason is the real reason.
    11
  353. There are other more fragile systems in tunnels. Ventilation and electricity.
    11
  354. I just wish Kamala Harris would make more appearances to build confidence.
    11
  355. I wish I believed we were giving them their best fighting chance. Been watching some desperate trench fighting on K-2.
    11
  356. Jake is edited and corrected ex post facto by his fans. So far he has done well.
    11
  357.  @Reticulated_Spline  Prigo thought because he was an "earner," the mob boss would tolerate impudence. Didn't know Putin very well.
    11
  358. Cool to see "Jake" in Ukrainian! Everything's Jake (well almost everything).
    11
  359. Your genius was in the spotlight in your interview with Operator Starsky. You have thought through so many angles! I admire your work ethic and intelligence combo. One without the other doesn't yield the results you show us.
    11
  360. They will be told they were trained as artillery shells, not artillery.
    11
  361. He'll still get regular protein injections.
    11
  362. Other party bad, my party good. Additional hyperbolic adjectives according to taste.
    10
  363. Another half-baked half-measure under pressure. Took 17 days to decide, which they called "lightning speed."
    10
  364. I ask myself, "Why do I even bother checking other news sources when Jake does a round-up of all the major stories, and then finds extras that, doggone it, move me to tears half the time?"
    10
  365. Robert Duval in Apocalypse Now.
    10
  366. Ukraine's most powerful weapon is a lack of fear. All cascades from that.
    10
  367. I'm in. New patch looks cool.
    10
  368. Operator Starsky now has daily updates. He and STERNENKO are brutally funny when it comes to the Russian propagandists.
    10
  369.  @The_Savage_Wombat  Yes! The Russians look down on single cat ladies. This is how points are developed. Very keen insight.
    10
  370. 25:38 This segment still has me laughing out loud! 😃 Jake, you are a genius of curation, a docent of all that's important, fun, and touching.
    10
  371. Russia is so big it "let's it all hang out." The emperor has no bullet proof vest.
    10
  372. 4:05 24 dead, including 6 kids, and 18 "injured" can mean any amount of horror. I hate those stinking Orcs. That guy knew his neighbors for 30 years, since 1993. He was there when those kids were born. The Ukrainians are tough but they shouldn't have to be tough. Perhaps dicking around with weapons rations wasn't a good idea.
    10
  373.  @charliewatts6895  General George Washington, because it's a fight to be independent.
    10
  374. These reporters at the press conference can't resist showing how smart they are with multiple questions. Ask your one question! Confusing questions about day-to-day decisions about Ukraine with follow-up questions about politics. American journalists keep not cutting the mustard.
    10
  375. The only thing that helps with the heartache, and it's not much, is giving. I'm not going to stop helping either.
    10
  376. The "parade of Orc footwear" reminded me of the old Wendy's commercials that made fun of Russian fashion choices.
    10
  377. Lithuania is full-on Honey Badger. The honey badger doesn't give a shit.
    10
  378. Agree that we must not forget what has been done and is still being done to people who just want to live their lives. This isn't collateral damage, this is intentional cruelty and evil.
    10
  379.  @JustARandomFio  The American tradition is to only use the P for the President of the United States. Perhaps it should be changed for Zelensky.
    10
  380. I don't think Putin, barbarian Prince Longtable, is going to live to 101. Just a hunch based on the last photos of Mussolini.
    10
  381. I remember your estimates of how many HIMARS missiles could be delivered. I buoyed me up because it made so much sense.
    10
  382. It faces the rising sun and looks past the Prison Lands of Orcland.
    10
  383. Ukrainians are tough. It's tough to watch their sacrifices at the alter of freedom.
    10
  384. Poland is never going back. And they aren't going to let Ukraine be taken back. I've been watching. Some boots aren't scared to go toward the sound of battle.
    10
  385. Trump didn't get enough attention as a child, as in right now.
    10
  386. What's the mechanism?
    10
  387.  @d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594  People with a memory know a Putin advocate based on previous comments.
    10
  388. Those guys are fighting for her future.
    10
  389.  @misty5979  It should be translated into Spanish and shown to the pontiff before he prostrates himself in apologetic shame.
    10
  390. The Ruzzians know their place, except when it comes to Ukrainians. They're learning.
    10
  391. Having given up your work visa in Hollywood when you were called up, and still being on the list, you deserve to call yourself a soldier. Of course, you are an information warrior.
    10
  392. Musk needs to lay off Tweeting because he's Xing himself up. Elon, stick to the spacecraft, boring tunnels to reduce traffic, and electric cars, dude. Let's do a Pascal's wager and imagine that reality isn't just a big simulation, the richest guy in the world needs to act responsibly, just in case.
    10
  393. Mobsters aren't embarrassed by loss of life.
    10
  394. Israel will gain real estate to be developed by Trump and Witkoff.
    10
  395. Love of country over self. A weird idea that makes and keeps people free.
    10
  396. I helped me to start donating. Your mileage may vary.
    10
  397. When you give yourself over to the liberation of an innocent people unjustly attacked and tormented, your spirit is strengthened and confirmed. How do I know this? I know things.
    10
  398. Campaign contributions talk. It's how it works.
    10
  399. I busted out crying when I saw the watermelon, such a small, proud retrieval from a region that lost so much. It's something.
    10
  400. Now hold on. America could use two sane Senators. Please say maybe.
    10
  401. It's the least we can do. The most we could do, well, let's hope it's coming.
    10
  402.  @hansburger285  Yes, the Germans fought Russia before but as aggressors. Opening your borders was a mistake as was shutting down your nuke plants. I dearly hope for the German people to get over their guilt complex and green religion. The German people are smart and practical. Why oh why are their politics so weird?
    10
  403. Wouldn't be the first time. Remember when North Vietnam broke the Kissinger cease fire? America did nothing. It became Vietnam with reeducation camps.
    10
  404. Donation just sent.

  405. Jake isn't just a great presenter, he's an awesome curator. Posting videos every other day shows his level of effort and gives him time to sort through the chatter.
    9
  406. Very articulate. A font of words in well formed sentences. No "ums" or "likes" just lays it down. Could write a book by talking into a tape recorder.
    9
  407. I'm still crying. She will remember this for all her days. Our love for the Ukrainians may have taken them by surprise. My love for them took me by surprise.
    9
  408. I've always been ashamed of politicians and political types ever since I saw a presidential convention as a kid. There's something different and wrong about them.
    9
  409. Nice to see JDAMS are arriving after "only" a year. Now a moment of silence for all the Ukrainian guys who died because of delayed delivery for reasons we still haven't heard. Incompetence? Fear? A secret agenda? Excessive snacking?
    9
  410.  @willwozniak2826  Magic Eight Ball says "zero" and that's not even an option.
    9
  411. The three Members of the House that Jake mentions need to line up democrat votes for a moderate before voting out Mike Johnson. But keep in mind that Biden could get aid to Ukraine by simply changing amnesty by default policy for the 10,000 streaming across for their unearned American Dream.
    9
  412. They do have a Gherkin in the can.
    9
  413. I've had several arguments online with people who don't get it, don't want to get it, talk about WWIII, and how abandoning Ukraine will make them safe.
    9
  414. Thank you! Here is an English translation of the 1965 song: Let me tell of a time when the world was in rhyme With the sound of our laughter Montmartre hanged with flowers for far-forgotten hours Of hunger and of love Unaware in our youth of the sobering truth Of the years that came after We laughed at common men for we were heroes then And heaven smiled above La boheme, la boheme Poor hungry you, poor hungry me La boheme, la boheme See the old world that could not see All those innocent hearts who imagined their arts Could be casually mastered I miss them every one For the sands of time have run away for each and all For it seems that our schemes were impossible dreams That could never have lasted For when we woke at last the big parade had passed And spring had gone its way La boheme, la boheme Someone to care, someone to mind La boheme, la boheme We were in love and love is blind Now and then I return and the memories burn With a bittersweet aching I climb the same old stairs But no-one longer cares And there's no-one to greet in the streets where we walked And the bars where we talked of a world we were making I stand upon that hill until I drink my fill Then leave it all behind La boheme, la boheme Moments of joy, moments of pain La boheme, la boheme Nothing can bring them back again
    9
  415. I keep watching the pleas and just can't work up pity. Can you imagine what they would have done if they got control of all of Ukraine?
    9
  416. It makes me feel better to contribute. But that's just me. I cry when I see certain things in Ukraine but I won't stop watching and remembering.
    9
  417. It began in 2014.

  418. Tulsi is saying a bunch of empty, silly stuff. Not being grilled and just bats her gums.
    9
  419. Genes aside, the love of freedom and self-determination is universal. Not all have it.
    9
  420. That would require verbal self-control.
    9
  421.  @rogermartinez78  Anyone who identifies as a "lifelong" anything reveals they don't enjoy critical thinking. It does take more effort than drinking one flavor of Kool-Aid.
    9
  422. South Korean presidents end up being crooked. Can they change the official mansion or something? Could be a water quality issue?
    9
  423. Weasels need time to collect money back home.
    9
  424. The North Korean camps are places of horror.
    9
  425. Dogs know more than they talk about.
    9
  426. Scholz pandering to some German peace party with theatrics? Panderer's box.
    9
  427. And talk bad about them at every opportunity. They kneel at the alter of money.
    9
  428. Trump is getting so much from any deal. He talks on the phone and wants to get rich. Putin is donating to the Trump financial legacy, including Trump Coin and Riviera investments.
    9
  429. Anna from Ukraine once said the F word and did it with unprecedented verve.
    9
  430. It's funny how reporters know every wrinkle in politicians' dogs' rear ends but are ignorant of basic technology.
    9
  431. Thank Lankford for the ridiculous "deal" he "negotiated." It wasted crucial time. He pretended to represent the GOP in dealing with Chuck Schumer. He didn't.
    9
  432. The cool thing about bitcoins is that tulip bulbs can wilt.
    9
  433. Having a pierced ear may attract new voters, like pirates?
    9
  434. Dementia plus nostalgia equals writing checks your body can't cash. Putin thought he would pull the same old S. No fool like an old fool.
    9
  435. Go light on the prayers, increase the donations.
    9
  436. And they may allow pets. Everybody needs some love after a long stint eradicating evil.
    9
  437. Jake didn't go into it, but the talk is that Putin was justified because of NATO expansion. As though former serfs wouldn't seek protection. And now that every country that could has joined, the excuse doesn't wash for continuing the invasion.
    9
  438.  @rorychivers8769  Jake was apologizing for the Biden administration, democrats who lacked a sense of decency or urgency.
    9
  439. Same people who stare at car wrecks. I don't know Jones from a hole in the ground but Carlson is a carnival act masquerading as a reporter. He's in the same category as that stock market guy with all his props and yelling, Cramer. In the world of info-tainment, some folks want 99 and 44/100s pure tainment.
    9
  440. Why would the third Aussie be needed? Oh, I get it. To bring the Foster's and put another shrimp on the barbie. Look at my ignorant American stereotypes of the fine Australian people! 😃
    9
  441.  @docinparadise  Thanks for your comment to help the almighty Algo. He fooled the socks off of me. So I sent enough to buy a few pairs or whatever Brandon thinks is most needed.
    9
  442. Ukraine isn't Russia.
    9
  443. A tender heart seems like a burden. But would you want it otherwise? I cry, too.
    9
  444. Look at that little gal wave at 21:51. She could be an American kid. Just a regular kid.
    9
  445. Google translate says you said this, "Spread this and other videos from the channel, put a like at the moment when the video comes to the end, write several comments of 7+ words. Do not delay, do all this in the "golden time" immediately after the release of the video in order to drive it into trends and secure it in the YouTube algorithms." Good advice that I didn't know.
    9
  446. It has a lot to with campaign money. Election campaign funding reform will never happen. We were doomed when the Supreme Court defined corporate campaign contributions as "free speech." And we have NGOs funded by fat cats allowed to fiddle with elections. And our politicians call Ukraine corrupt!
    9
  447. I still learn gratitude from the Ukrainians. 4:28 I live in America where counting my blessings takes all day and half the next.
    9
  448. The last time America had the draft, LBJ sent undesirables to Vietnam. College guys couldn't be drafted. We now have an all-volunteer army.
    9
  449. Oh, will have to look that up!
    9
  450. Thank you!
    9
  451.  @frostflower5555  Read the Russian story, How Much Land Does a Man Need by Tolstoy. Putin needs exactly that much.
    9
  452. Take a gander at the competition.
    9
  453. I finally got a large Ukrainian flag but before that I bled blue and yellow, and always will. Bucha got to me and then it got worse.
    9
  454. Why 75% don't press like is a mystery. The YT equivalent of shoelace tying?
    9
  455. My allergies acted up for Bucha, Mariupol, little Lisa, now they are acting up with pride and joy for the Ukrainians.
    9
  456. Cool garden. The Sons of Liberty were also often farmers.
    9
  457. Called the guy gay when his son is apparently bi?
    9
  458. Learning doesn't result in action. Sullivan learned and ignored.
    9
  459. Iceland doesn't have much potential skin in the game but they're giving. It's because they're decent.
    9
  460. Secret Services procedures changed after JFK but they weren't applied in this case.
    8
  461.  @JakeBroe  62 tanks! That's exciting stuff! What's more exciting to politicians are the contracts Poland will buy with the $2 billion loan. Jobs and the tax base are not increased by stockpile drawdowns, even though they would allow Ukraine to kick Orc butt.
    8
  462. Heroyam Slava! These crimes will be remembered until all digital media is erased.
    8
  463. Stalingrad was a sniper's paradise. The Germans used the rubble of Caan and Monte Cassino to good effect, too.
    8
  464. Except companies come right out and say they are still supplying "staples." Jake didn't read the full Kellogg's statement but at 18:11 they actually said they had stopped shipping Pringles. So we are to believe all those Pringles have been smuggled or come through third parties. Maybe. Or maybe time for "woke" American employees to get serious about other victims of oppression.
    8
  465. The chef and the gourmand. A match made in greed.
    8
  466. The Zelensky press conference is also on UATV in English. Zelensky's difference with Zaluzhnyi may stem from the president's sense of urgency to present western allies with "daily results" on the battlefield. It nauseates me to think of my leaders pressing for a rape victim to show progress in her struggle before lending aid.
    8
  467. Australia is always stalwart. The beauty part for the U.S. is that once Kamala Harris is freed from her intensive Vice President duties, she'll be free to offer her insights on foreign relations.
    8
  468. Just a fun fact for everybody who learned that nuclear is bad and can be replaced with solar panels and windmills. 1) It can't and 2) Nuclear waste has been dropped into the ocean with barrels that corroded and was diluted to undetectable levels. Isaac Asimov, the science writer, noted that the continents could be dissolved into our oceans with imperceptible change. I've noted that recent generations are terrified of dehydration, too.
    8
  469. No, that's a superior smirk. "Silly reporter, do you think a children's hospital is going to change policy?"
    8
  470. I fell in love with the Ukrainians and I cry, too. Biden is such a sad excuse for a commitment to justice and Trump may let the Ukrainians twist in the wind, like Obama did. Trump was the first to supply Javelins so he has Russian blood on his hands. Can only hope he wants more. Congress has powers, too.
    8
  471. For those guys it's the glorious Fodderland.
    8
  472. When Jake asks, I give. This goes for other channels. My standard amount is $100. I gave only $50 to a Suchomimus ask to clean out my PayPal account where I had been paid $500 for a job. It all went to Ukraine. Why I had $50 left is a mystery. Maybe extra fees ate up money. I pay the extra fees and sometimes Euros are extra. I learned I don't get a tax break from last year. So mine is the strength of 10 because my heart is pure. Uncle Sam takes a big chunk and then gives it to friends of whomever is licking that month.
    8
  473.  @edwardmoore-kd5uq  And the prices of the surplus weaponry are free-floating. It's a big game of "let's pretend." Let's pretend it's $100 billion when it could never be sold, because that would be competing with industry, a big no-no.
    8
  474. Dang it, your comment got me crying again.
    8
  475. Is that in horse years?
    8
  476. Whoa! Hold on with blaming Joe. He inspired Kamala to answer when asked what she would do other than Biden she said, "Nothing comes to mind." Of course, this could be simply a report on her usual mental state but it could be so much more.
    8
  477. Graham should have pulled a Hillary and waited to see which way the winds blow. Now he needs to explain for the rest of his career to the decent people of America.
    8
  478. Imagine talking to a woman being assaulted on the subway, offering to intervene with guarantees of cash?
    8
  479. Big thanks to the democrats for sticking with Hakeem on every vote and getting us to Mike Johnson. They vote 100% unlike thoughtful republicans.
    8
  480. ​ @bodimoran1040  Even in WWI American volunteer pilots formed the Lafayette Escadrile with the motto, "Lafayette we are here" to honor the Marquis de La Fayette, who joined our revolution and even commanded troops at Yorktown, the final battle of the American Revolution.
    8
  481. If you don't clap long enough, you and your family get a ticket to camp.
    8
  482. Some want to crow about how much America has donated in $billions! Fact is, overproduced items like Humvees are a drug on the market. It made political/economic sense to make all this stuff to support jobs (maybe). So taking double credit for it is braggadocious, the money's been spent. And complaining about the "sacrifice" is equally disingenuous. Our deserts are chock full of war surplus.
    8
  483. "“Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong.” – Stephen Decatur. This has shifted to "my party." Speaker Johnson represents people in Mississippi and rose to power under historic circumstances. I question his purity oath.
    8
  484. Poltava "The city is known for its fertile agricultural region and industrial processing of farm produce." It has a long and interesting history.
    8
  485. Look at all the sources cited! Jake, you owe being informed to your thirst for knowledge. Poor guy who got picked up, can't imagine what they put him through.
    8
  486. Johnny pulled down his mistake, I heard. Says he will revise it.
    8
  487. Politicians notice fundraising.
    8
  488. We should ask, "Which sanctions would you like lifted first?" And then triple them.
    8
  489. And Australia rightly has rigorous procedures for immigration.
    8
  490. Jill needs to step down. This has been bad policy since day one.
    8
  491. Would be nice to get more details. "As long as it takes" didn't turn out to be uninterrupted by political border deal theatre.
    8
  492. Putin doesn't mix with anyone who hasn't been searched. Zelensky walks with fully armed soldiers.
    8
  493. Looks as though Joe Rogan has the fear factor and won't have Jake on.
    8
  494. Yes, America will get to the bottom of how this politically motivated trial was conducted during the appeal process. Accountability is one of our main strengths. We aren't quite Third World yet.
    8
  495. On foot.
    8
  496. It's been this way since Lincoln. What's different are Secret Service services for some people and not others.
    8
  497. Heroyam Slava!
    8
  498. Same here. They were occupied and now sending hope to family on the other side of the Dnieper still under occupation. For them, this is very real.
    8
  499. Bravo!
    8
  500. When I see those high school kids it reminds me why I so love the Ukrainian people. They are worth saving to live free and be prosperous.
    8
  501. They are indeed contemptible. Wild beasts have more in common with humanity.
    8
  502. We also must remember that the Soviet fighting spirit was enforced by political officers embedded with units and prepared to root out counter-revolutionary thought.
    8
  503. I predict many more Russian millionaires, in rubles.
    8
  504. Based on what? He's still alive until I see proof that the castrator is dead.
    8
  505. There are Ukrainian speakers in Russia and they may need to be liberated.
    8
  506. Here's a counter offer: "When you're down to 10% refining capacity we can talk again. Is this a good address and phone number?"
    8
  507.  @gabrieldunn7384  Suchomimus is a favorite of mine. Puts out a lot of short content.
    8
  508.  @Aussie_T  I often jump to the comments while I listen. Another name might be Broe-mobiles. Broemada is terrific!
    8
  509. Wow, I want to be a defender, that's for sure, that's for dang sure.
    8
  510. Jake may have been screened a little for psychological and emotional stability for his previous job. Just guessing.
    8
  511. I remember 2014 (and the Little Green Men shooting down airliners) when I argued that, of course, the U.S. was going to step in. We didn't. This time was different and not sure why. Zelensky, of course, then Duda then Johnson. Depression is a tough nut to crack because it saps the will to fight it. Hang tough and remember that tomorrow is another day. Look at my cocky, insensitive advice, as though it's that easy!
    8
  512. Putin turns out to be quite sensitive. To his own pain, not that of others. Wouldn't it be cool if he were captured by some Wagners or Buryats and subjected to the torture they enjoy dishing out?!
    8
  513. Don't see Iran looking for guests, either.
    8
  514.  @drlegendre  Two pseudo intellectuals. Tucker has the gift of gab, Dugin isn't as influential as his late daughter.
    7
  515. The Nederlanders know flooding that's for sure. One saying to remember, "Tough times don't last, tough people do."
    7
  516.  @johannesvalterdivizzini1523  I've seen them pass overhead at tree top level in a rural area. Made my hair stand on end.
    7
  517. To the memory of the martyrs who took the hit to wake up the world.
    7
  518. Ditto. I think Kamala Harris could drive a harder bargain with Putin by refusing to talk with Putin, like she did with Rogan.
    7
  519. This hard guy extortion performance backfired. Mobsters but softer bodied.
    7
  520.  @dontsupportrats4089  Politicians love power and money = power. What constituents think doesn't really matter compared to money talking.
    7
  521.  @kevinkanter2537  Correct. That was James Baker talking outside his jurisdiction and Bush didn't agree with the silly suggestion of the amateur international deal maker.
    7
  522. Extreme heat is bad for both concrete and metal. Too bad that fuel train didn't go up completely.
    7
  523. The Manhattan Project was moved from a 1942 experiment by Enrico Fermi under the stands at the University of Chigago's Stagg Field, the first self-sustaining reaction. But it all started with Earnest Rutherford, a Kiwi.
    7
  524. Zelensky said it was New Year's day for Europe. The math is obvious. Neither Ukraine nor Europe can resist Putin alone.
    7
  525. Donated. Thanks for the opportunity.
    7
  526. I only have an American flag but I keep a Ukrainian flag in my heart.
    7
  527. This is like the Berlin Airlift in reverse. All these years we paid to prepare against the Russian bear. Now we support some friends and not others.
    7
  528.  @buddyrojek9417  Israel is not going to be lost. Israel is expanding in the West Bank.
    7
  529. Bureaucratese is filtered with focus groups. Do you really think we have administrators who speak from the hip? Even so, Americans hear through it and toss our cookies. I hear, "We're scared."
    7
  530.  @MissUnderstood-f9l  Would replace "Everytime" with "Efficacious." The guy attracted more than a million bucks!
    7
  531. Lucky that field was fairly dry.
    7
  532.  @MrJoeindublin  Putin is a "genius" like a toxic bond investor in 2007. Trump has the power to clean the slate in Russia, which needs to hit rock bottom before it gets its act together, like any addict. Trump says he cares about lives. OK, prove it.
    7
  533. I went back to watch it again. Yes, the artwork is great. Those people inspire me. Oh, they're Ukrainians. Perhaps worth saving.
    7
  534.  @Silveirias  I respectfully disagree. Jake's team has proven to be very generous and an interview would be like a medal of freedom.
    7
  535. Iraq was definitely a dissatisfied customer.
    7
  536. Johnson has yet to announce a guaranteed plan to remain Speaker so he deserves no campaign contributions.
    7
  537. I came late and still short of your contribution. Please accept my love and this 🏆.
    7
  538. I'm watching until the end to see if you report on how your put contract worked out!

  539. "For wherever two or three Orcs are gathered, I am there among them" - Saint HIMARS

  540. With all due respect, any American who doesn't get it yet won't have their mind changed by a video. A puppet show, maybe.
    7
  541. I'm tired of the underground labor market. Don't see why Ukraine has to be the hostage when Congress could pass laws to punish employers.
    7
  542. We did not see the horrific film that Eisenhauer ordered be taken at the death camps until relatively recently. With all due respect to the pearl clutchers, footage of Bucha and elsewhere should be aired.
    7
  543. We've been played by the lot of them since last fall. Switching Speakers, a fake aid and border bill, then a real bill that sits while a massive funding bill gets through.
    7
  544. Democracy self corrects. When the People are in charge, crazy doesn't last too long.
    7
  545. Suddenly, Trump has a tantrum and insults Ukraine. Unstable.
    7
  546. Jake, your level of research is worthy of a PhD (about every three months).
    7
  547. Will this be on the SAT?
    7
  548. Pin it, brother! Your awesomeness only grows.
    7
  549. Brandon convinced me. He knows about socks to thermal sights to Starlink. I donate but also want to make a difference. Not being too bright, it took me a while to figure out that you can type any number of coffees in the little box at the end. I didn't know about Brandon, Jake, and sincerely appreciate it!
    7
  550. Could be. Or it could be a bargain method of choking off supplies.
    7
  551. I have different favorites on different days. I follow many YouTubers. Perun was a recent fav due to his interview with Ben Hodges.
    7
  552. Look up new york post caitlin doornbos. She filed a great story today about being embedded with Ukrainians, visiting a repair shop, and what Ukrainians say are their values and how they see Americans.
    7
  553. Russian diamond trade in full force. Antwerp is the node. Belgium says 2,000 jobs rely on it. Sanctions are applied with political correctness and finesse (as in who's been greased).
    7
  554. Yes, their other coups were lightning fast. Should have taken the loss and backed off but Putin got stupid.
    7
  555. I think they should come out and say that guy didn't do it.
    7
  556. Australians have some very strict laws about immigration. What can you do? Perhaps a little more awareness of what Biden's release-before-confirmed-amnesty policies are doing to America. Australians are smart. 10,000 a day sauntering in at will is not difficult to understand.
    7
  557. Started in 1949 after seeing what Stalin was up to.
    7
  558. I have no relatives there but I cry when they are hurt. It's so wrong. I donate to make myself feel better.
    7
  559. Zelensky is a self-made millionaire. He could have fled and lived a great life but his conscience and love for his people wouldn't allow it.
    7
  560. Just a technical note, the flash point of grease is well below the temperature of a thermonuclear explosion.

  562. I cry, get mad, and then contribute. Artur Rehi just got kicked off of Patreon because some of his fundraising might harm Russians. He's an Estonian dude who put his faith in Patreon.
    7
  563. Henry Kissinger got a Nobel Peace Prize for cutting and running in Vietnam.
    7
  564. I watched the film and found it engrossing. Russia has always relied on slave labor in distant camps, kept in manpower by trumped up charges.
    7
  565. Polls gather data from self-selected respondents who agree to the poll. Totally unscientific. But it's an industry and news channels continue to slavishly report the flawed data. Even the reported uncertainties seem bogus. How do you know how flawed your data gathering is when you only report from motivated (or bored) people?
    7
  566.  @44johnburton  You should see Artur Rehi and Operator Starsky! Hair helps overheat the brain.
    7
  567.  @ThadGuardi  In America one traditionally eats a Moon Pie with an RC Cola to wash it down.
    7
  568. It's really weird the entangling alliance the U.S. has with Israel. What causes that?
    7
  569. The GLSDB delay needs to be compensated by other weapons systems ASAP (that's not a weapons system, that's how fast one acts when a promise hasn't been met).
    7
  570. The Germans' biggest headache at Kursk were T-32 tanks rushing their expensive, long-range Panzers in droves and shooting them at close range. "Quantity has a quality all it's own" - Marx
    7
  571. Ukrainians lives lost are now the new normal. Not for me. Not for me.
    7
  572. Not to be too skeptical, but source for those Ukrainian president quotes?
    7
  573. Small boys are always brave. They often go into battle. They even know the drummer boy gets shot first.
    7
  574. When the people learn to nod to lies, things stop working.
    7
  575. Kurt Vonnegut predicted that people in the future, even the President, would use the f word. He also predicted that people would wear sports uniforms.
    7
  576. Hope he didn't tell anyone in Washington anything sensitive. That town leaks like a sieve.
    7
  577. I get mad as hell, cry, and then I reach for my credit card. The politicians are watching our donations to the Ukrainians. They might even get a clue.
    7
  578. I didn't notice it. Couldn't give a billabong about salty language.
    7
  579. Saying stupid things is protected by our Constitution.
    7
  580.  @markb8468  Prerun is great. Doesn't seem to post as much but when he does, awesome.
    7
  581. What Ukraine needs or the world needs is trumped by what our elected leaders need, money. It's how the game is played (with a big thanks to the Supreme Court for classifying corporate donations as "free speech). Ukraine needs a PAC as soon as yesterday.
    7
  582. Assad's evil was ignored by Jake Sullivan, who saw him as stabilizing for American interests. Sullivan also sees Russia as "too big to fail." The capacity for such calculations is the benign face of "international relations," Sullivan's undergraduate major. The nauseating truth should be considered at breakfast, not before bed.
    7
  583. They certainly lack respect for one another.
    7
  584. You are rocking it! 🙏 thank you!
    7
  585. Refineries may distribute storage, but refining oil is a sequential process and lacks backup for every part of the chain. So hitting one part can be like destroying a small part of the digestive system.
    7
  586. Similar to some reports on the 2020 riots in the Summer of Love.
    7
  587.  @Rauz11  I like being a defender. Cringe away. Everyone watching and remembering is an ally and a defender. Maybe you don't deserve it?
    7
  588. Jake, I recommend today's Times Radio Philip Ingram interview with Bill Browder and Diane Francis. Solid thinking about Pewtin and Trump.
    7
  589. Turn those reactors back on. Not going to be any tsunamis. Merkel was deceitful.
    7
  590. Same here! I also want to see reasonable prices assigned to old equipment that we taxpayers purchased for the Pentagon.
    7
  591. Take a gander at the poor guy confessing. They know all about "spirit."
    7
  592. Thor protects those who follow his ways.
    6
  593.  @doolittlegeorge  Can the Pentagon sell surplus to Europe? This is a special time for them, selling fully depreciated assets at prices they decide.
    6
  594. It's true. These waterproof boots are sometimes known as "shoe packs." The concept: massive insulation kept dry.
    6
  595. Honestly, with how they really make money, only freshmen need the salary.
    6
  596. They're working on an oily discharge. But it will take 30 extra days.
    6
  597. I watched the interview with Hannity and am shocked at how smart Hannity thinks he is. Trump thinks he's smart, too. The two of them are like Neanderthals next to Musk, who does have mental issues. What causes that level of arrogance?
    6
  598. It was to put pressure on border policy but he did say that. Interestingly, didn't demand a plan for the end game in Gaza before handing over $25 billion.
    6
  599. It went down in history with McAuliffe's "Nuts" at Bastogne.
    6
  600.  Johnny H Johns  I heard it, "When the fertilizer hits the ventilator" but I like yours, too. 😃
    6
  601. There's a danger that Ukrainian ingenuity will surpass Yankee ingenuity as a phrase. I'm cool with that.
    6
  602. Kamala Harris, first woman President.
    6
  603. The treatment of POWs has been and continues to be documented. It makes for heart-breaking reading.
    6
  604. Well two wrongs don't make a right, but Ukrainian use of cluster munitions will be quite different.
    6
  605.  @antimatters6283  If I thought castrating Russian POWs would stop the suffering of Ukrainians POWs and end the attacks on civilian homes, I would have to commend it. But it won't. Ethics requires calculations.
    6
  606. Ben Hodges says it's better to shoot the archer than to defend against the arrows. But Jill isn't listening.
    6
  607. Hodges advised the Biden administration to stop dribbling.
    6
  608.  @rickb9327  An even more important question, should we play Hail to the Chief for Jill Biden? She's highly trained in international relations and economics and knows how to praise Joe to keep him in line.
    6
  609. Pilots didn't have miniature video cameras during the Cold War.
    6
  610. I did. A hundred bucks. Look at me, I'm a a big deal. Then why do I keep crying? Because it's not going to bring back any of the Ukrainian guys. That hog video reminded me of our "leaders," rooting around for political advantage instead of getting the job done.
    6
  611. You rock!
    6
  612. Service gives meaning to one's life. And you won't remember the job, you will remember the people you worked with. I'm old and know a couple of things, not others.
    6
  613. Shouldn't we have pretended we don't know the location and layout of Putin's Getaway Mansion? Oh well, of course he has other "spider holes."
    6
  614. As an American, I'm curious why military intelligence didn't have a plan for Russian missiles. Did they think Putin was going to get scared off by some Triple Sevens and some HIMARS? I'd like to see some very public dismissals of lead-ass brass hats.
    6
  615. Russia seems yet to have a first think, but another think coming for sure.
    6
  616. Putin may be concerned about holding Mariupol so that massive crimes against humanity are not uncovered. Expect torture chambers like those found in Kherson and other dastardly stuff. Eisenhauer ordered filming at concentration camps and this should be an effort for the Ukrainians.
    6
  617. Mongolia has less to be ashamed of than the U.S.
    6
  618. He's been through the wringer. Funny how some are prosecuted to the ends of the Earth and others aren't.
    6
  619.  @gfody7593  Being a gymnast helps to not see his face during whoopee every 4 months.
    6
  620. His diagnosis by others certainly changed after the Twitter thing. From Tony Stark to madman.
    6
  621. For those with physical courage, it's a reaction. Later they say that they had no intention to be a hero.
    6
  622. Avoiding frostbite and hypothermia is a combat advantage. Some of the guys at the Bulge never got over it.
    6
  623. 8.52% is "well above 2%." 4:54 That's called understatement of about 400%. Hey, nice gesture for Anna. Up 10K. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
    6
  624.  @moffig1  That could have bought you some fast food on a date these days. I respect you and thank you.
    6
  625. Guys showing up missing limbs would be bad for Ruzzian morale.
    6
  626. Speaking of revenge, the republicans decided to elect a weirdo to punish the democrats for not helping select a moderate and continuing to vote only for their guy, who wasn't going to win the gavel. Rage and revenge are no way to run a government.
    6
  627. Thank you for your service to humankind. You will always remember what you did when you heard the call for help.
    6
  628.  @grahamstrouse1165  True, economies of scale can be a real thing. I get the feeling that even for small lots Brandon is a bargain shopper and a careful distributor. And this interview convinced me that I can trust him, not just because he knows Jake and Starsky, but because he knows the needs on the ground. Who knew about the socks thing?
    6
  629. If I had a dollar for every tear I've shed for the Ukrainians, I would send those dollars to support Ukraine. And I have.
    6
  630. So Johnson finally got a peek into the clue bag at the high level briefing. Did his son sign a purity oath or is it the "wild oats" clause?
    6
  631. Can you imagine the mental pressure on Trump to sign executive orders in his second month? He's like teenager who's been reading Playboy, all clogged up.
    6
  632. Let a guy get his hands on a little money and look what he does. I want to be like Howard Buffet. Always wanted to be an eccentric billionaire anyway. Now is the time to get real.
    6
  633.  @depressedrabbit3381  Like badgers and wolverines, their interactions with one another are not savage.
    6
  634.  @georgeprout42  Yup, they knew.
    6
  635.  @juliec5309  Canada has requirements for skills, doesn't it? America currently has no requirements other than showing up and telling a lie.
    6
  636. I'm old enough to remember the scoring by the judges from the USSR. They were dirty and corrupt then.
    6
  637. A vote for Jill's ongoing leadership may be diluted by Kamala.
    6
  638. It would be swell to believe that voting either way would end the nightmare.
    6
  639. In a Star Trek episode, both sides calculated their potential losses from a potential battle and an equal number of civilians were voluntarily liquidated by each side. No actual battle. I like the idea if politicians and their families are first in line.
    6
  640. It's not cool. Not cool at all. Unchain my heart because it's crying.
    6
  641. Politicians can't resist turning every issue into one of division. Of course, Ukraine is a matter of right and wrong and it's being used as a political bargaining chip. It's the same with the border. People claiming asylum when they don't deserve it is wrong.
    6
  642.  @nhatvu8800  No Americans are pro-Putin. I do agree that you have no idea.
    6
  643. The Ghost of Kyiv is as real as it gets. In the spirit of the Ukrainians.
    6
  644. I liked the game of Battleship on Putin's super-long table of COVID paranoia. 😄
    6
  645. He's a reshala's reshala.
    6
  646. We who are not in Ukraine have the luxury of being fatigued or not. Operator Starsky says "If you get tired, you die." Imagine being a Ukrainian watching the self-important American politicians discuss your fate, as though you're a slave on the block, possibly to be sold down the river? "Democracy," "freedom," etc. are just speech buzz words when it's all about them.
    6
  647. Denys Davydov's coverage on his new channel with comments is hilarious. At one point, Carlson breaks the fourth wall and looks at the camera when he realizes he's dealing with a maniac.
    6
  648.  @wolfiemum461  Both the green and the orange know that Ukraine has to stand.
    6
  649. Watch the documentary Fog of War to learn about the mind of McNamara. If you're a Vietnam Vet, you ain't gonna like it.
    6
  650. The original, from 1965, is haunting and beautiful.
    6
  651. I predict the 40-kilometer range of the Switchblade 600 will define the width of the new DMZ buffer zone east of Ukraine's border.
    6
  652. An absence of mines makes all the difference.
    6
  653. The YT channel Suchomimus has more details on the Vuhledar massacre, include the source of those anti-tank mines.
    6
  654. Absolutely fantastic presentation! You keep spoiling us, Earthman. Hakuna if you got 'em.
    6
  655.  @davidgray8089  * targets inside Russia. Staging areas in Ukraine.
    6
  656.  @MrBendylaw  I feel it's harsh to call Orc troops "moldy cabbages and rotten potatoes" even though it's accurate.
    6
  657.  @BurntOrangeHorn78  Not NATO's charter.
    6
  658.  @pcopeland15  Uh, pretty obvious. One can chew gum and be concerned about injustice and cruelty abroad.
    6
  659.  @JakeBroe  WP got cocky with Deep Throat, now they expect credulity every time a cub reporter talks to somebody in a DC bar. "Golly Chief, he said he's with a super secret branch of a super secret agency." "OK let's run it. And don't call me Chief!"
    6
  660. So the next President should be ignorant of how this oaf's mind works?
    6
  661. Does Russia have the engineers to repair refineries? They tend to be smart and may have fled.
    6
  662.  @ZoomZoomMX3  Interrupting or responding to Ben should be done in small doses. Bismarck and Musk were the perfect amount.
    6
  663.  @hardtackbeans9790  Idiocracy is a must see movie. It's already becoming true.
    6
  664. Attacks on Christmas, a major dick move that should be remembered.
    6
  665.  @CMY187  India has some other goals, like running water for all, before becoming a superpower.
    6
  666. Hadn't heard that. Saw that his former residence was identified. Sooner or later a "special" squad funded by private parties will find all these bastards.
    6
  667. We kept speaking English when we liberated ourselves from England but to each his own.
    6
  668. That war on terrorism cost more in money than other wars, too. And women can't go to school in Afghanistan. But we're still listening to experts in D.C. but not Kissinger.
    6
  669. Zelensky got squeezed by thugs and then went to the UK where he got squeezed by hugs. Anna from Ukraine mentioned that hugs aren't the European way. They are now.
    6
  670. To turn Marx's famous phrase on its head, "Quality has a quantity all its own."
    6
  671. Joe Biden is just a humble, regular guy who needed to prove his love for minorities and seek de-escalation. Zero ego. And when he's not on camera, he's sharp as a tack.
    6
  672.  @GARDENER42  Donna Brazeale and Bill Clinton tarmac chat more famous.
    6
  673. I've pretty much given up on America being great. We're going to be a Third World country of Haves and Have Nots.
    6
  674. When a little person gets a job with a powerful organization, he dons the mantle of authority and achieves an erection.
    6
  675. If you spread peanut butter on your clothes, a racoon might wash them.
    6
  676. China might suggest the "Outer Manchuria Purchase" in exchange for "eternal goodwill and friendship" plus "taking care of the inhabitants with full employment."
    6
  677. Yes, they are much too moliched. 😃
    6
  678. Any democrat that holds out should be ashamed. Any republican that holds out should be ashamed.
    6
  679. Ukraine needs the equivalent of AIPAC if it wants to make friends in Congress.
    6
  680. I concur. An excellent analysis of why America needs cheap, illegal labor to function. We're addicted and no politicians have a plan to go cold turkey.
    6
  681.  @Micha-qv5uf  Um, in the U.S. our Executive has incredible powers, in some cases invading Somalia as a lame duck, like Clinton did. Or sometimes deciding, independent of Congress and with a snap of the fingers, that there will be "no boots on the ground" or that aircraft carriers will be dispatched.
    5
  682. They threatened Dubya's Dad.
    5
  683.  @user-di5rm9ee1p  I heard that regarding the gas supply, Putin learned the "squeeze tease" from a fellow KGB agent. Any truth to that?
    5
  684. Nope. "The Ukrainian attack on a Russian airfield in occupied Crimea on Tuesday apparently destroyed a lot of aircraft. It easily was the biggest single-day loss for Russian air power since Russia widened its war on Ukraine in late February. And it could shape Russian air operations moving forward. The daylight attack, which triggered 10 or more explosions at Saki air base, home of the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s 43rd Independent Naval Attack Aviation Regiment, burned to the ground as many as eight Su-27 fighters, four Su-30 fighter-bombers, five Su-24 bombers, six Mi-8 helicopters and a unique Il-20 telemetry aircraft, according to a Russian source." Forbes, Aug. 10, 2022 It's better to not make stuff up.
    5
  685. While we're making suggestions, check out TVP World, it's an English channel coming out of Poland and has a ton of unique coverage of Ukraine.
    5
  686. They look a better fed this time. Yes, I'm like you.
    5
  687. The Free World has loosed the dogs of war.
    5
  688. Jake, you see over the horizon. Of course South Korea will respond. Had no idea of the size of their forces. They haven't blurted out "No boots on the ground" and don't have intestinal parasites.
    5
  689. I busted up when I saw "Rest brother, you are home now" on the truck with the Estonian flag.
    5
  690. Hold on! That could be a body double.
    5
  691. Same here. We Little Americans only have so much control so it feels good to donate and not feel as bad.
    5
  692. Secretary of Education? Imagine all that purity.
    5
  693. Good doesn't always win over evil. Bucha and Mariupol are evidence.
    5
  694. Politicians see how we give. Thank you to the 426. You know who you are. I did the math on the $18,500 and the average donation was $43.42. Please save your couch cushion change for the next time Jake asks. I'll be in your number.
    5
  695.  @CarlyRivers_91  Do the elders have an app for that?
    5
  696. Kudos to Surfshark for the sponsorship. May your enterprise prosper!
    5
  697. 16:59 Yes. Zelensky listened to the commanders on the ground. They want to keep fighting and there was unanimous agreement during the meeting. This is a brutal calculation but when you are killing at a 7 to 1 or 10 to 1 ratio, you don't give up that killing floor. Ukraine is running a high-priced butcher shop.
    5
  698. Today is a day I wish I believed in God's vengeance. I envy you.
    5
  699. May be time for some subtle nuance for people loyal to "my party" like it's a sports team. Sanchez, who was just kicked out, was a republican.
    5
  700. We don't know about the mom. Jake's dad is great.
    5
  701.  @taterkaze9428  That you would want Kamala Harris to lead America displays serious contempt for our nation.
    5
  702. There are other oligarchs. Are they OK?
    5
  703. I believe that dance from the 60's is called "The Alligator" but he wasn't doing it right.
    5
  704.  @learning7140  Obviously a junior cub troll who merely pastes and doesn't understand that he's an Orc.
    5
  705. Well, it's fully modernized now to Ukrainian standards. A very good fish habitat.
    5
  706.  @MrKbtor2  Keep in mind that fear gets attention. Film at 11.
    5
  707. One of my least favorite phrases has become, "In an abundance of caution." Weenies and scared losers hide behind it since they lack the cojones to speak the obvious truths that they see. "Well, let's look at how this dam breach might have helped the Ukrainians." Say this in fakey radio personality voice.
    5
  708. 26:02 South Korea is also building nuclear power plants, and they get faster with each one. A very progressive country, looking toward the future. They know that the nuclear "waste" can be handled, unlike CO2.
    5
  709. And we taxpayers and borrowers already made the investment! Weapons stores were designed and manufactured during the Cold War (which never ended BTW, remember that "peace dividend" that never showed up?)
    5
  710. Americans, please keep in mind that Artur is a nice guy, but he's Estonian, not American. Are we going to let a foreigner beat Jake, an American? Dig down in your couch cushions, cancel your kid's allowance for "bad behavior" that you concoct out of thin air, take money out of tip jars around your town. Like the poster, We can do it! Americans know how to get money when we really need it. Yankee ingenuity is being tested.
    5
  711. The Swedish meatballs are a major reason to shop at IKEA. The lingonberry jam is an acquired taste but it grows on you.
    5
  712. Too late.
    5
  713. It's the 24th in Ukraine. We have to remember the joy in Kherson along with the cruelty in Mariupol. Two different worlds. Uncle Sam has the power to decide with minimal sacrifice. It truly is like a Roman emperor with the choice of thumbs up or down.
    5
  714. No need for the just saying. It's diabolical.
    5
  715. Ditto. :_trident:And thanks to Ukraine for the humanitarian aid. What about Syrians who are gluten intolerant?
    5
  716.  @lukeclement7625  I hope you get the Jake patch.
    5
  717. Plus shippers who don't want to be tainted and won't ship Putinist oil.
    5
  718. Good point. If the American military goofs up this mission while receiving $700 billion a year, heads will roll.
    5
  719. My allergies acted up.
    5
  720. I wish Jake were in charge of employer fines for hiring newcomers without papers.
    5
  721. I feel a vote for Jill will continue the current anemic approach to Ukrainian victory.
    5
  722. It's time for the Americans to step. If you like Kubrick, The Killing is great early film starring Sterling Hayden who later appeared in Dr. Strangelove.
    5
  723.  @royshaul2392  We certainly are told about our faults a lot. Public schools make it a priority and "America Bad" is now a major at many universities.
    5
  724. Trump needs to apologize for his late-night, sleepless foolishness. Ashamed.
    5
  725. With the events in Gaza, the timing of YouTube's decision is not a coincidence.
    5
  726. Huge fan of Firefly and Star Trek: Enterprise. Of course, watched the original series multiple times. Favs "A Piece of the Action" the comedy about the gangster planet and, of course, the Hugo winning episode, "The City on the Edge of Forever" when Kirk and Spock face a moral dilemma in 1930's Earth. I was tricked into reading science fact by Isaac Asimov by a gaudy cover that made a book look like a novel. Ended up reading much of Asimov on science and then more science fact. We live in a golden age of discovery and Russia threatens to end it. Real Klingons.
    5
  727. Jake's natural curiosity drives him and that makes for a great interviewer and vlogger.
    5
  728. I look down on you for your small donation. That's a lie! I love you!
    5
  729. Giving up all your stuff and leaving your home as a refugee is a little tougher than a 15-mile bike ride.
    5
  730. Politicians take notice of donations, however small. We send a message when our cash goes to the Ukrainians for their fight for their lives.
    5
  731. Isn't allowing bodies to pile up bad for Orc morale? Psyops in reverse?
    5
  732. I'm not sure we know what game they're playing. Ukraine is one country among others they think they can manage.
    5
  733.  @MissUnderstood-f9l  Jake has certainly played THE top role in covering the American politics. Kudos for Jake's gracious and hopeful comments on Johnson's apparent confession and conversion and acknowledgement of GOP support for Ukraine.
    5
  734. That only spells BIGO. Don't try this at a retirement home! Ref. Better Call Saul.
    5
  735. Interesting since DNA evidence let some walk out. Guess it wasn't so cut and dried.
    5
  736. Ship's manifest should be called a menace fest.
    5
  737. Same. For some reason, I enjoyed the "rerun" more. 😃
    5
  738. Hakeem Jeffries kept uselessly getting all the democrat votes for Speaker. The democrats made Johnson.
    5
  739. Just today I heard someone on TV mention that the ruble is strong, with the presumption that sanctions aren't working. People on TV are generally 1) attractive, 2) personable, and 3) educated about and interested in American politics and elections. Imagine a horse racing fan in charge of reporting on the Nobel Prize in chemistry? Russia is going to be a frozen fish.
    5
  740.  @jimmyz2098  I was born in the USA and don't want my country to be overrun by people who just show up. The USA is a party and it can get f ed up if the uninvited crash it. Ukraine has to wait for penalties for employers or whatever stops this. Sorry.
    5
  741. I see Jake's future with a child like her. What a good father he will make.
    5
  742. It's the power of love, baby. As groovy as it gets.
    5
  743. Pete is not only right, the home invaders will skip the front door entirely. This hasn't been well thought through.

  744. Always wished I could deposit sleep for later immediate use.

  745. Ukraine is losing its best while waiting for F-16s, so of course they send their best for training. America, partly as an excuse for dithering, ran a small pilot training project with Ukrainians. Surprise! They left their instructors amazed.
    5
  746. Thanks!

  752. Georgijs definitely has the "gift of gab." His fans donate. I hope he gets the Broe Bump on his channel! Jake's excellent questions reveal that Georgijs is honest to the bone. An honest person answers quickly. Our politicians don't. Truth is not their game, power is their game.

  761.  @robinkelly1770  You meant to say a lot fewer Senators and you would be wrong. Each state gets two Senators.
    5
  762. When one gives, one must be aware of the "indirect costs," that is, the portion that is skimmed for infrastructure and salaries. The Red Cross has a massive infrastructure and career salaries. I like to see my dollars go for meat and bone, and taking it out, if you know what I mean.
    5
  763.  @pulsatingsausageboy2076  Putin definitely wanted a land bridge to Crimea. Tried to get one in 2015 but was repulsed. The petroleum greed certainly makes sense in light of the above-ground devastation. Putin doesn't care what he does to the surface.
    5
  764.  @John-hu9qg  Up yours, matey. I'm not in the mood to explain how doomed Putin and Russia are.

  770. Nice!

  771. I've been thinking about Jake's dad who made an appearance. A calmer personality than Jake but just as wise. We can thank him for Jake and bringing him up to be the 40-year-old (!) he is today.
    5
  772.  @postergmail6202  If someone knows something because of their experience, it's relevant to the point. But I agree, when some vet acts like he knows more about how to make a cake or nail Putin in bed, it's irritating.

  781. I will vote for and donate to good republicans, you know, the republican Senators who voted for the latest aid package.

  782. We sure as hell have paid for this stuff. Best use in a long time. The horticultural experiments to plant the precious flower of democracy in places like Iraq and Afghanistan didn't pan out.

  790. I've seen the videos of the Russian people on the 1420 channel and they are mostly out of it, living their lives with their ear buds in, as though their Fearless Leader didn't just step in it big time. shelling and torturing civilians. What was the old saying attributed to the admiral shot down by Lightnings, something about a "sleeping giant"?
    5
  791. Here's a fun fact for you. In the first Gulf War, "The A-10 had a mission capable rate of 95.7 percent, flew 8,100 sorties, and launched 90 percent of the AGM-65 Maverick missiles fired in the conflict."
    5
  792. Nobody takes Putin seriousLY. Adverbs or "ly" words modify verbs and take a different form than adjectives, as in Putin isn't serious. Putin deteriorates slowLY. My friends correct me. I correct my friends.

  793. I grow pounds and pounds of tomatoes and leave most out to the neighbors in a box with a sign. It's fun. One person left a note thanking me.

  794. Not holding my breath to hear the rationale.
    5
  795. I can imagine launching kitchen sinks into the sh*thole areas of Ruzzia might reduce conscription rates. All they would need is running water.
    5
  796. That's a goal to be an honorary Ukrainian, maybe? If it doesn't sting, it's not a sacrifice!
    5
  797. Reporting from Ukraine (YT) thinks the Orcs thought they could blow up a small piece of the dam and flood the islands where Ukrainians are. I ain't no engineer, I just love Ukrainians and Americans who love Ukrainians.❤❤

  801. Cold comfort.

  802. I relay on Jake to tell us his honest opinion, like a friend. Friends disagree but respect one another for being honest. Jake risks being called anti-Semitic. I admire courage even though he will be erased.
    5
  803. 22 republican Senators voted for the latest aid package sent to the House. Democrat Hakeem Jeffries won't start the House discharge process because he wants republicans to split with their Speaker.
    5
  804. Denys could correct Jake's English!
    5
  805. And there are funny jump cuts right before the "explosion" in both videos. This may rank up there with the removal of Trotsky in old photos, exposed by westerners. Russian photo "evidence" is pretty clumsy because of low standards required by their inhabitants.
    5
  806. Yes, we must remain divided by party, even though 62% of Americans support Ukraine. Republicans bad, democrats good.
    5
  807.  @ArmedSpaghet  I would like an interview with Jake's former service men and women in the missile silo capsule about how he got his got his gift for gab and what he used to read.
    5
  808. Jake didn't mention the conscripts from Kalingrad but they were complaining for being put under the command of LPR/DPR (lepers and depressed) troops. Sometimes those low on the totem pole in the Russian caste system don't know it?
    5
  809. To combat disinformation, spend a little time every day keeping up on the atrocities. Remember them and don't get confused or exhausted.

  811. We plant the precious flower of democracy in select areas. It's expensive and it often doesn't bloom. But we make money so what the hay!

  812. I'm a firm supporter of rationalism and those who check comments before hitting the "Reply" button. I've been to 8 foreign countries and lived in 8 American states.

  813. Of course, Ukraine will need more and the sooner the commitment is made, the sooner the message gets sent.

  814. I wouldn't hold my breath. When the goons show up, they'll point her out.

  815.  @simondalzell5635  Mr. Biden needs more than prayer. More of the juice he got for the SOTU speech but every few hours?

  816. Greeter. At dog fights.
    5
  817. Maybe it was one of those "shake to charge" watches and he was overcharging it?
    5
  818. Do the incoming immigrants share the American mentality mentioned?
    5
  819. Did you know that for each politician there are platoons of twenty- and thirty-somethings playing backroom politics for concessions and favors? Of course, they run focus groups and opinion polls before any action. All the spine of an amoeba and the speed of a glacier.
    5
  820. Hey, can we use that interest rate to calculate what the frozen Russian assets would be earning?
    4
  821. A simple majority vote in the House can remove the Speaker. That's how the previous speaker was removed. 208 democrats and 8 republicans voted to remove McCarthy. Then, after a 100% democrat protest vote for several republican candidates, they experienced a revenge vote for Johnson by 100% of the republicans. The democrats made their bed by being stubborn. Don't blame the game, blame the players.

  822.  @aelopez6903  We sure do. Some of the most accurate tactical reporting is on Reporting from Ukraine.

  823. A barrel of future Go Juice is worth more than any recent price. Just my opinion but I back it up with my investments. What's heroin worth to the addict? I'm pro nuclear power by the way. Civilization needs real power.
    4
  824.  @patrikfloding7985  US taxpayers did not pay for Starlink nor its satellites. We did, however, pay for a lot of weapons that could have saved Ukrainian lives. But Musk is the villain in the piece. What causes that? Was it the free speech thing?
    4
  825. Jake, after seeing all these smart, spirited, and gorgeous Ukrainian girls, how will you ever settle for an American? I love you buddy.

  826. Will Canada help the Gazans?

  831. An English translation: Let me tell of a time when the world was in rhyme With the sound of our laughter Montmartre hanged with flowers for far-forgotten hours Of hunger and of love Unaware in our youth of the sobering truth Of the years that came after We laughed at common men for we were heroes then And heaven smiled above La boheme, la boheme Poor hungry you, poor hungry me La boheme, la boheme See the old world that could not see All those innocent hearts who imagined their arts Could be casually mastered I miss them every one For the sands of time have run away for each and all For it seems that our schemes were impossible dreams That could never have lasted For when we woke at last the big parade had passed And spring had gone its way La boheme, la boheme Someone to care, someone to mind La boheme, la boheme We were in love and love is blind See pop shows near Los Angeles Get tickets as low as $88 Now and then I return and the memories burn With a bittersweet aching I climb the same old stairs But no-one longer cares And there's no-one to greet in the streets where we walked And the bars where we talked of a world we were making I stand upon that hill until I drink my fill Then leave it all behind La boheme, la boheme Moments of joy, moments of pain La boheme, la boheme Nothing can bring them back again
    4
  832.  @katiehettinger7857  True, we Americans have invested in massive R&D and manufacturing. Time to unlock the Arsenal of Democracy and stop pretending it's costing us now. Countering Russian aggression was the rationale then and its time our investment paid off.
    4
  833. 4:59 "Lack of disregard" is a verbal typo. The Orcs do not lack for disregard.
    4
  834. There are parts of European cities that are very stabby and dangerous now.
    4
  835.  @vaataja  Not with Israel. That's where the real campaign bucks are directed.
    4
  836. There was more to this deal that was kept secret. Too big a charge on it.
    4
  837. Right on! Now feel the good feeling of standing up to pure evil.
    4
  838. The transactional approach doesn't count on friends. But Harry Truman said something like, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog." Mobsters thrive until another mobster shows up to take the territory. It's an ugly world.
    4
  839. Trump was the first to send Javelins to Ukraine.
    4
  840. 2:17 If that's the position, then elaborate State Department. A girl who does not "support or encourage" asking her on a date is not neutral.
    4
  841. Would it be OK to send some cheap workers up in your direction? We have more than enough according to Democrat mayors.
    4
  842. Organ theft is making me nauseous. Haven't felt this sick since I read about how Japanese researchers gave Chinese citizens anthrax and then dissected them without anesthetic. The U.S. let them off the hook in exchange for their data.
    4
  843. Freedom's just another word for . . . something politicians say in speeches. Any risk or sacrifice is forbidden.
    4
  844. At least their little baseball team appears to have an umpire. Or is that a unit level political officer?
    4
  845. Why bother breaking through when your enemy is being so accommodating?
    4
  846. The number of rapists and torturers among the American soldiers is much lower. Much less looting, too.
    4
  847. Jake's best video was when he calculated how many HIMARS missiles could be potentially supplied to Ukraine based on other drawdowns of U.S. stores. Many other golden vlogs, too, not to say this one isn't excellent.
    4
  848. Well, we did trade that Russian arms dealer for a basketball player. And, surprise, Russia has taken a Wall Street Journal reporter hostage.
    4
  849. They're not even talking about anything Ukrainian these days.
    4
  850. When I see the chart of Orc losses, the first category I check is artillery. Thank you for posting the chart at the beginning of your videos.
    4
  851. Long-term commitments are commitments to jobs. Short-term weapons supplies are commitments to victory. The military/industrial/political complex isn't a charity.
    4
  852. Mike Johnson is intensely "pro life" but the lives of Ukrainians don't matter? The House elected a freak Speaker who negotiates on Twitter? After voting to take out McCarthy, the democrats just kept voting 100% for democrat Hakeem Jeffries (hopeless) instead of negotiating for a moderate Speaker. Johnson is an oddball, plucked from obscurity with a bipartisan effort.
    4
  853.  @robertjohn6585  The Orcs would have to distinguish SCALPS from Storm Shadows. Maybe they could do that, but in a marine hit, finding chunks might pose a challenge.
    4
  854. I am a defender and a point of invincibility. I've seen enough to make me really, really angry for a long, long time. Are Mark Milley's inadequacies from nature or nurture? Don't really care. Want him to get off his dramatic, fat ass.
    4
  855. Scholz is being smart. No Taurus until the U.S. releases long-range ATACMS.
    4
  856. Republican Lankford from Oklahoma wasted weeks negotiating an aid and immigration bill that had zero chance. Democrats bargaining in bad faith, who knew that, immediately had a replacement bill ready. Why waste time on a doomed bill? To claim the other party turned down a great "deal."
    4
  857.  @markscion  That's the spirit. Sure some gave before we learned about Jake's birthday.
    4
  858. The U.S. gets 19% of our electricity from clean, green nuclear energy. "Every year, nuclear-generated electricity saves our atmosphere from more than 470 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions that would otherwise come from fossil fuels. That's the same as taking nearly 100 million passenger vehicles off the road."
    4
  859.  @Little_Dog664  So be it. Ancestry isn't a requirement for common decency.
    4
  860. I expected that, too. Several others covered it. It made me so damn mad I'm having trouble calming down. All I want to see are videos of Orcs getting nailed.
    4
  861. Snyder is almost as well spoken as Jake Broe! History notwithstanding, Putin has lost the compass.
    4
  862.  @darthwiizius  Oft speculated by whom? Barbarossa started on Sunday, 22 June 1941, months before Pearl Harbor and while Hitler was winning. "As early as 1925, Adolf Hitler vaguely declared in his political manifesto and autobiography Mein Kampf that he would invade the Soviet Union, asserting that the German people needed to secure Lebensraum ('living space') to ensure the survival of Germany for generations to come." - Wikipedia

  863. I remember that one woman from the Dumas and thought it was missing an "S."
    4
  864. Five bucks wasn't enough to express my admiration for Jake's courage and thought thinking power. He could be wrong and says "serious" instead of "seriously." Activate your brain to question him and others.
    4
  865. Is Pyrrhic loss a thing? Because that's what Putin faces.
    4
  866. I would imagine your idea has already been taken under advisement by Ukrainian military command. I only request that they film the choo choo boom boom from several drone angles.

  867. Her staff generally quits so big hope. Mean girl is better than tariff man who thinks he's running a business.

  868. Did Walter Cronkite have to introduce himself on every broadcast? No, he didn't. He said, "That's the way it is" at the end.
    4
  869. Same here. That song got under my skin.
    4
  870. Majorities have consequences. Know any brave republican Representatives willing to vote against separate aid for Israel?
    4
  871. "As long as it takes" seems to have a freshness date and Biden isn't all that fresh.
    4
  872. And thanks to the Dutch for the air defense system. This criminal invasion has made me aware of the decency of people around the world.

  873. I acted. I know others will, too.

  874. I have a big blue and yellow in my front window. It's almost as beautiful to me as Old Glory.
    4
  875. There was a saying back in the 60's, "People are no damn good." Lawyers "pushed the envelope" for their clients.
    4
  876.  @akmpolsen  That's about as funny as a screen door on a Russian submarine, as in hilarious! 🏆
    4
  877. We have Americans who believe that helping Ukraine will hurt them and their trailer park.
    4
  878. All your bases . . .
    4
  879. And, despite these phony "doves" we will continue to spend $850 billion a year for "defense." If not Ukraine, defense of what? Answer: Defense contractors and defense jobs for weapons that sit in defense warehouses fighting for defense. And boots on the ground that stay on the ground drawing salaries for defense.
    4
  880.  @DisinterestedParty  Well said, it's a clear cut opportunity to fight evil with others. I still get mad but I can say I did something. I will always be able to say that I did something.
    4
  881. Do we know her stance on anything other than kids in the future will see craters on the Moon with their own eyes?
    4
  882. OK some news was rugged but calling it a flog?
    4
  883. How many children were harmed by the pagers? America couldn't do this without screams of protest.
    4
  884. Jake's too clean and honest. But he could tell us where to donate.
    4
  885. Rogan interviews weirdos who believe in aliens and other crazy stuff. A little too open minded sometimes. But asks good questions.
    4
  886. Of course, we Americans aren't suffering one iota from shipping out all those past freshness date weapons from our warehouses full of surplus. Some politicians want to pretend it's a "guns or butter" choice and that those billions in weapons could pay for other stuff. But the money's spent and, no, they can't.
    4
  887. I don't think the subs are more than deserved. Jake deserves a lot more.
    4
  888.  @RobertSeviour1  I know, right? I've watched TV interviews when the "talent" with logorrhea (and a need to show off their knowledge) asks questions that take up all the time!
    4
  889. That photo of the yellow kitchen opened up like a sardine can has a strong psychological impact. There are photos from previous wars that changed people's minds.
    4
  890. In the absence of real military comms from anybody else, Starlink was a godsend. Mistake to rely on it? Any port in a storm.
    4
  891. Ogly Skankbeaver is always good for a laugh.
    4
  892. I know I'm going to stop crying. For a while. Imaginary red lines leave my heart open to more hurt.
    4
  893. Two philosophers if you ask me. Jake is part economist, too. Yay!
    4
  894. I live in California which thinks rate payers should foot the bill for shutting down nuclear plants, solar panel trickles, and the bills of poor folks.

  895. 🏆☝

  896.  @bigcity2085  My dad allowed us to build a log tower if we would stop exploring the sewers. Ironically, we began pushing it over like on the intro of the comedy show F Troop and my friend sprained his ankle.
    4
  897. Thanks for the info. For me, sorting out who's who in the Krumblin' is as distasteful as watching slugs.
    4
  898.  @Jartran72  Look how offended some are by common sense. And these people decide important stuff, like the use of nuclear power to reduce CO2. "I'm scared of nuclear so I don't even consider it. My feelings rule me."
    4
  899. There was a glimmer of hope that a centrist republican Speaker could be elected. But the democrats dug in their heels, voted only for democrat Hakeem Jeffries (a hopeless protest vote), made the republicans angry, and got their (and my) worst nightmare. A major failure of creative or bipartisan thinking by the dems, a bunch of plumb bobs.

  900. Recessions aren't actually planned. 2008 WAS engineered by mortgage chicanery, though.

  905. Much needed Free World leadership.
    4
  906. That cheap labor, with basic services from schools and emergency rooms, is too sweet for business men and women from both parties. Without illegal labor, so many firms - from restaurants to car washes to hotels to meat packing - would go out of business.
    4
  907. You won't know luxury until you visit us in Southern California in January. Yes, we take freedom from war for granted.
    4
  908. Brothers and sisters get to disagree. Thank you for your generosity.

  909. I disagree with Jake characterizing the Senate deal as "immigration reform." The Senate "deal" would allow up to 5,000 migrants a day. "If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry." -CNN. That means up to 150,000 a month or 1.8 million a year. That's half the rate now of 300,000 a month. According to World Population Review 1.8 million a year tops the population of these cities. Phoenix Arizona 1,664,896 Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1,504,263 San Antonio Texas 1,493,510 San Diego California 1,370,324 Dallas Texas 1,245,124 Fort Worth Texas 975,351 That's surrender to the southern invasion.

  910. I feel their settlers are giving a bad name to the settlers in our cowboy movies.

  911. Emphasizes the importance of seat belts?

  912. Denys Davydov also mentioned the absence of bodies at the crash site. I guess I'm curious why those of the crew were also missing. Maybe being strapped in at the nose of the plane they were more likely to disintegrate?
    4
  913. It's already happened at least informally.

  915.  @ashscott6068  I can blame the West for even being in Iraq. Rescuing Kuwait made sense and George Bush Sr. had the sense to say anything else was "mission creep." Well, Dubya and Face Shooter cooked up the WMD yarn for their buddies, saying Iraqi oil would pay for it all.

  919. The Mongolians have changed the pipeline name to Dumbstream!
    4
  920. Thank you!
    4
  921. If a regular person has 100,000 and gives 5,000, a billionaire can match that with 50 million. I envy the billionaire. BUT if 10,000 regular people give 5% they can match the billionaire. 100,000 of us can match him x 10. Now the billionaire envies us.
    4
  922. And the U.S. mission was so incredibly successful that women can't attend school. Big money, big prizes.
    4
  923. Obama ignored the Little Green Men in 2014. Biden slow walked the response in 2024.
    4
  924. People don't like public transportation due to crime and inconvenience. When convenience and safety supersede that of the private car, support will naturally increase.
    4
  925. Fantastic presentation on what makes the world go around. 20:29 Among the options, America has no reserves and has chosen to borrow money so will eventually have to cut spending or raise taxes (unlikely given our system) and will be left with option #5, print money. Yes, the debt will be erased by high inflation. Buy real estate or something else real. Don't sweat the interest rate.
    4
  926. @manta6765 Poland is asking for WWII reparations from Germany. Fun fact, they aren't crazy about Germany.
    4
  927. Thanks for posting the X links. Others post Telegram links but they are too large unless one is a Telegram member and that requires a phone number, not my thing.
    4
  928. Jake and Denys are two of my go-to channels! Check out Suchomimus for multiple short videos per day.
    4
  929. It's now called Hamburger Hamlet, a haven for hungry wildlife.
    4
  930. I don't like to see ugliness. I have a moral obligation to see ugliness.
    4
  931. Yes, but the dam cannot hold forever. They need combined weapons now to fight a real war.
    4
  932. The Ukrainians take the high moral ground with how they treat prisoners and don't attack civilian targets. There's is the strength of 10 because their hearts are pure.
    4
  933. Might have been more than Purple Hearts. The one guy got a different box and not everybody got one. These guys are warrior grade.
    4
  934. Looks as though Russian bread is pretty cheap. And they have rain water. That's good enough.
    4
  935. The Salvation Army is always #1 in my book. They were my first big donation. Kirk Douglas came on my TV and said, "They know what they're doing."
    4
  936. They even tried Japan and got their asses handed to them. Possibly helping give rise to a Japanese military class.
    4
  937. So far they haven't gone to bat for the Uighurs so I wouldn't hold my breath.
    4
  938. Thanks for their service. Getting back into a Flying Fortress (named by the press, the usual knuckleheads) took guts. A P-38 would not be a plane to mess with.
    4
  939. They didn't do tremendously well in Iraq and were pulled off the line. As Jake says, they're a "win more" weapon when you're already winning. Pick, shovel, broom with the Warthog as the broom.
    4
  940.  @Zaitekno  Which part?
    4
  941. I feel that Ukraine should have gone with the competitor of Starlink for their satellite communications, vital to repelling Putin from Kiev. Can't remember the name. Was it Verizon?
    4
  942. Political types smirk at normals who operate based on morals and principles. Don't ask me I know but their word for us is "naïve."
    4
  943. But Stalin ended up getting all of Poland and he passed away in his sleep. The USSR lost 26 million.
    4
  944. ATACMS are very expensive. Kiev Bridge, worth it. Maybe an airfield filled with bombers, worth it. Railroads and a train of supplies? Maybe not a good deal.
    4
  945. Thank goodness there's a practical reason to stop the slaughter of innocents.
    4
  946. More generally, Russian Orcs should stop wasting everyone's oxygen.
    4
  947. The Orcs aren't getting anywhere near Odessa. They aren't even going to hold Kherson.
    4
  948. "I don't need a ride, I need ammunition" will go down in history with "Nuts" in response to the German demand for surrender at the Battle of the Bulge, and "Damn the torpedoes."
    4
  949. OK what's the deal in the States? What do we have to do? Please post a comment on a future video because I don't look at old videos.
    4
  950. Clinics, if given the chance, would declare most politicians as insane, most with a Napoleon complex plus greed like crazy.
    4
  951. Election mechanics reform might not be as important as campaign contribution reforms. But, of course, that's not going to happen and the Supreme Court has deemed that corporate campaign cash is "free speech."
    4
  952.  @tabithan2978  That's clear from his bid to change protocol. If Putin had his hands on nukes, he wouldn't bother to go through the charade.
    4
  953. Nah, just tax outgoing oil. It was left off the list for good reasons. Yes, there will be some pain for Canadian fat cats in the oil business
    4
  954. I love them all. And Suchomimus.
    4
  955. When Ukraine has the panhandle, Russia has no chance!
    4
  956. Jake makes us peer into the darkness of the human soul and makes us ask, "How did this happen?"
    4
  957. Thank you! Glory to Heroes!
    4
  958. Polls are notoriously iffy. But to court public opinion, perhaps its time for Israel to share Iron Dome and other gear with Ukraine?
    4
  959. Don't be any more surprised about politicians that you are about alley cats.
    4
  960. Well, most of the human race.
    4
  961. Yeah, I lost on the POWs.
    4
  962. Ditto, and with good reason.
    4
  963. The "bass tax" is generally called a fishing license here in the states. 😃
    4
  964. Kamala Harris knows history to the extent she's been involved. Kind of self-centered.
    4
  965. Hannity jibber jabbers for way to long in asking a question. He thinks he needs to fill dead air, like the old-time radio guy he is, but can't "hit the post" before the Gutfeld comedy show because he thinks he's so interesting.
    4
  966. Out of respect for the soldier I should watch it but out of respect for my memory bank I won't. I can only imagine and that's good enough for me.
    4
  967. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission” is a quote by Rear Admiral Grace Hopper, a U.S. Naval officer and computer programming pioneer. But Hopper wasn't dependent on ammunition shipments to survive. Ukraine is obviously being micromanaged or those border concentrations would be gone.
    4
  968. I'm convinced that Trump will use every opportunity to make money, including making a deal with Russia. Look at how he crows about his tariff money and how he wants more tariffs. Of course, consumers pay more but the tariff cash flows into government coffers. It's like charging rent on trade.
    4
  969. A number of stories about Zippo lighters stopping bullets.
    4
  970. Surfshark, thank you for sponsoring. This is a time we will all remember.
    4
  971.  @randomcomment1105  Johnny deserves as many beautiful girls who want to love him. Love is where families come from. Love is something everyone wants around the world. Families need to know that.
    4
  972.  @frankbarnwell____  The Abraham's tank is awful. Made of sticks and almost used to slay his son. The Abrams tank, on the other hand, has shown it kicks ass.
    4
  973. Denys pointed out that China would prefer a long ground war. This sentiment is in line with American military contractors. Imagine if the invasion had been crushed on day one? Big loss.
    4
  974. Bernie Sanders is articulate and has nothing to fear from a three-hour conversation with Joe Rogan.
    4
  975. The guy's a fool. Ukraine could turn over all its territory to Poland, a NATO country, which would proceed to kick the Orcs out.
    4
  976. That guy is nowhere as roughed up as his guitar. Wish I could give him one of mine (he plays way better!)
    4
  977. They would be voted out for ignoring the border crisis.
    4
  978. Many pieces of equipment and Orcs have already been "spread out."
    4
  979. Brandon and Artur have launched a fundraiser and Brandon is hiking in Sweden again. Brandon Mitchell is the channel and his dog Masa steals the spotlight. Highly recommended for pure joy.
    4
  980. The ruble might be like a chocolate bunny, carefully shaped on the outside but hollow inside.
    4
  981. I just realized that Jake has a model of the spaceship Serenity from the TV show Firefly on top of his bookcase. My favorite show followed closely by Enterprise.
    4
  982. 25:11 "Millions of sparks in millions of Ukrainian hearts became one big bonfire." There are even more sparks out here, around the world.
    4
  983.  @tonupharry  In fairness, cattle raping is not illegal in Russia.
    4
  984. A nuanced explanation. I would counter with: Some people with jobs in bureaucracies just aren't that smart and shouldn't talk. We have them in the U.S. and a couple lost their jobs almost immediately, including Spoonful of Sugar and Luggage Stealer.
    4
  985.  @jeremybyington  It has sunk, aka been un-floated and turned into fish housing.
    4
  986. I feel that every time that happens, it's a hint for Putin. Unfortunately, Putin's mind is affected by the Coriolis Effect and he's dizzy.
    4
  987.  @timothydixon2545  The new Putin trolls use super English names but. Really? Timothy Dixin? If you knew English, you would know that's funny.
    4
  988. Our national defense supports jobs and the tax base in Congressional Districts. It's not really about defense of freedom or mom and apple pie.
    4
  989. No offense but being a natural born U.S. citizen doesn't mean much other than you don't qualify for free stuff for the newcomers.
    4
  990. Russia already lost. Broke man walking.
    4
  991. Looks like he left his beloved troops hanging out to dry. Color me unshocked.
    4
  992. I feel that Jake Broe doesn't need to be served up with sides. Not calling him a turkey, calling him someone who doesn't need sides.
    4
  993. I'm a subscriber and an investor, too. I invest mostly in oil and oil and gas delivery. I like KNOP for the dividend and recent good earnings. Also got into ENSV when it was .60 so I got lucky. I'm in LNG deliverers and collectors, too. I'm gambling on your channel recently based on your intelligence about the Ukraine war. Not how smart you are but how much info you collect. I pull your leg.😃
    4
  994. All systems will need maintenance but I believe the Ukrainians are up to the task if given the tools.
    3
  995. That's the mystery. What does Trump need so much from a deal?
    3
  996. War, viewed as an economic activity, is quite predictable. That's why at the Yalta conference among the Allies in WWII were already talking about the post-war situation. With minimum input, Ukraine will lose. With medium input, Ukraine will win but at great cost. With appropriate input, Ukraine will win quickly with less loss of life and property. It's up to the United States, and I'm seeing the medium or moderate input strategy. It's already been decided by America's political elite. Dribs and drabs.
    3
  997. Moreover, we already paid for much of the equipment sent to Ukraine with our annual $700 billion defense budget over many years. $18 billion total so far is a fraction of that approved by Congress.
    3
  998. 1:33 "Look at me, I'm holier than thou and so much more moral because I trust my FEELINGS. Too lazy to do the research, consider long-term or unintended consequences, or do an actual moral calculus because I just FEEL I know what's right. And I look around to see if people like me."
    3
  999. F-16s sound like they were a bad buy for wars, which often lack perfectly smooth runways. Is it too late to get a refund?
    3
  1000. And (finally) there is supposed to be a crackdown on tankers shipping $60+ oil.
    3
  1001.  @pinkfloyd870  Actually the memorandum was to not attack Ukraine, not defend it. Russia is the only signatory to violate it.
    3
  1002. It's often coldest before dawn. Haven't noticed greater darkness.
    3
  1003. Me no likee how talk about "God" is used by the ambitious and self-centered. If there were a God, these loudmouths would have met lightning (before or soon after birth).
    3
  1004. Checking that out next. I may be oversubscribed! Professor Gerdes Explains puts out massive content and keeps me on my toes.
    3
  1005. I can't get Cat Stevens out of my head.
    3
  1006.  @stargazer-elite  The way to combat money in politics is to vote no matter what the ads say. And donate. It doesn't matter to whom, commit to diluting the big money. The Supreme Court ruled that corporate money is "free speech." That puts the burden on the shoulders of the Little American. Now I descend from my soap box.
    3
  1007. That's better than what the Orcs do to cattle.
    3
  1008. I wouldn't underestimate what's going on behind the curtains in any country. Several months ago, the U.S. announced $3 billion in weapons, but not the surplus already built, fresh contracts to go to various states and districts. The weapons won't be ready for years. And student loans were to be forgiven due to COVID before the midterm elections and then they weren't.
    3
  1009. Fair enough, both parties always look to the next election, and are generally amoral (sorry, they excel at one thing, getting and staying elected, and expecting otherwise is like hoping an Olympic athlete excels at knitting). So it's up to us the voters (and contributors) to guide them.
    3
  1010. Ukraine releases them periodically.
    3
  1011.  @SaketKumarAries  With a name like sack it, you must work in a 7-11.
    3
  1012. Jill Biden may be more aggressive than Joe. Or not. It's kind of iffy.
    3
  1013.  @wsmarczak  Joe Biden is gone. Voting for the name is going for the mystery curtain on the Price is Right.
    3
  1014. Perhaps it's early but time to hope for Kamala Harris 2028?
    3
  1015. How soon will they be ready? Do you foresee any cost overruns, not that Boeing would ever do that again?
    3
  1016. Yeah, that was the roughest part of Jake's presentation. They are fighting for their very existence.
    3
  1017. She and George Santos have a personality disorder in common. It's amazing how far these characters get in life.
    3
  1018. The democrats should get rid of the weirdos, but that's not going to happen thanks to the outside donor money.
    3
  1019.  @zotter2542  And an author of the Ukraine aid bill that included billions for Israel, Chuck Schumer, now says Bibi should step down.
    3
  1020. I rely on polls to determine what is real. In America we have a game show called Family Feud that relies on the wisdom and opinions of the audience, not actual facts. My life is one big Family Feud because my fellow Americans know it all.
    3
  1021. Why isn't Iron Dome protecting Odesa? Why didn't our intelligence agents anticipate these attacks? Operation Day Late and a Dollar Short still stumbling forward.
    3
  1022. Uh, yeah, drone boats months ago with funding from people like me.
    3
  1023. America never should have adopted Operation Feeble Dribble, but we did.
    3
  1024. Ditto
    3
  1025. Hoisted on their own petard. Replace the "p" with an "r" for the secret message.
    3
  1026. I don't follow sports teams and don't understand the emotional investment, except in the rare event I'm betting on a game. Much of the fervor in America seems to be of the sports-fan variety. As exciting it may be those who enjoy the tribal "rah rah rah for my side," this venom lacks nuance. A bit like fake wrestling. Am I saying many of my fellow Americans are dunderheads? I would never say that.
    3
  1027. I'm proud to be among a band of brothers and sisters. Time will pass but we will not forget.
    3
  1028. Kamala would be doing none of this. She would be looking for "root causes" and working from home.
    3
  1029.  @jackpatterson8389  I don't believe in censorship. But then I'm an American.
    3
  1030. It's pretty hard on the tear ducts.
    3
  1031. I guess U.S. military "intelligence" didn't anticipate that because they're still working with the "Putin might be a nice guy" hypothesis. Home of the fat, slow, and scared now need to be incorporated into our national anthem.
    3
  1032. I gave to the Carpathian treatment project. Didn't pray once to a supernatural being because they don't listen to me. Guess, I'm not very important in the cosmic scheme of things.
    3
  1033. "And have a great time."
    3
  1034. It was out of tune and in a building that will have to be razed. Can't get too excited. But love the song.
    3
  1035. Putin reminds me of Mussolini. Grand schemes with an unwilling army.
    3
  1036. The Z leg joke was good but it's one of those "you had to be there" to get the full humerus, er, femur.
    3
  1037. ​ @matthewyabsley  Good point. People who wish to work making videos without getting paid can do so. Unless they really touch a nerve and get banned entirely.
    3
  1038.  @ninemoonplanet  You didn't get the pronouns right.
    3
  1039.  @Funko777  The Ukrainians can't take that kind of risk. The U.S. needs to grow a pair and call defense, defense.
    3
  1040. Still, on the Chinese side they have plenty of peasants.
    3
  1041. Politicians don't always do what the people want. Isn't that weird? :_trident:
    3
  1042. Hold on! Milley showing up after only 11 months? Let's not be hasty. It could be interpreted as provocation.
    3
  1043. YouTube vloggers have become a kind of Justice League of Ukraine. Each has a slightly different superpower. Of course each fan sends a tiny power ray.
    3
  1044. 32:11 Jake gets right down to brass tacks and Starsky without hesitation answers. If Ukraine loses, Starsky will know why.🔱
    3
  1045. Mostly the border that Joe has left open. Regular people get the slums but not the cheap labor.
    3
  1046. A Ukrainian flag and one white guy aren't enough to convince me.
    3
  1047. Take a look, most are Mongolian.
    3
  1048. The Ukrainians are like those pups but they've got no mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam.
    3
  1049. Every body of water has tides. It's a Moon thing.
    3
  1050.  @alainlefebvre9860  Lead paint in trailer parks.
    3
  1051. Voicing support is green and crinkly in American politics.
    3
  1052. Heroyam Slava! The heroes have given so much at the alter of freedom. Glory to them until there is no memory.
    3
  1053. Cats can be hard on wildlife. A collar with a bell gives them a fighting chance.
    3
  1054.  @canuckprogressive.3435  Agreed. Sounded like an Application for Defenestration.
    3
  1055. If the price of domestic oil could be lowered by Presidential decree, it would have been lowered. The Saudis do have the power to lower the price and have done it before to break the frackers.
    3
  1056. There's an American movie called Two Jakes.
    3
  1057. It might be turned into a cemetery like Lee's home Arlington was?
    3
  1058. The decent swarm the surface of the Earth. I have been watching. Few go into politics.
    3
  1059. Ukrainians are adding extra training but not all punch out.
    3
  1060. Don't question Operation Feeble Dribble. There have to be consultations with contractors on what Ukraine needs to have replaced in the U.S. and who has contributed to the campaign.
    3
  1061. Yesterday would have been good. Not seeing evidence of shame glands on any of them. Not like Petraeus.
    3
  1062. No Wonder Bread, no 12 ways Wonder Bread grows bodies.
    3
  1063. 23:22 Those who have the least are the most generous. Based on experience in Appalachia, this is more true than you can imagine. It is a matter of pride. Sometimes, also based on experience, pride is about all you have. God damn those filthy Orcs to hell.
    3
  1064. 13:16 Antique Road Show, Soviet Edition "What do you think your tank is worth?" "Nyet idea." "Worthless, comrade! Better luck next time. Next!" --> 16:05 "This is serious program. Get lost!"
    3
  1065.  @seetherf9211  Watch the video again. Lindsey Graham is a republican.
    3
  1066.  @ezioaltairac  Fruit flavored?
    3
  1067.  @harz632  For Putin, bygones are be-gones.
    3
  1068. They should *have. It sounds like "of." I used to make this same mistake. You're right, Russia has already moved 90% of aircraft. That leaves 10% that the Americans act as though aren't worth hitting!
    3
  1069. Greezy Cleavage wants to admit the truth about some things. AI doesn't need Putin to move his hands.
    3
  1070. I noticed that he was a bit chagrined at the applause. Wondered if he might be thinking, "Where were you guys 300 days ago?"
    3
  1071. Have to be careful not to violate Russian doctrine and give Putin access to the Big Red Button.
    3
  1072. There are many heroes waiting for the proper circumstances. Some are Boy Scouts, others just think like Boy Scouts and are prepared.
    3
  1073. That the Russians have been trained that they can send an appeal to address injustice is hilarious and sad. Pavlov's dogs salivating at nothing more than a ringing bell.
    3
  1074. If you have not watched the hour and a half interview with Zelensky on UATV for Oct. 24, please consider it. Gorgeous, smart women asking and very frank answers. He's inspiring.
    3
  1075. He felt a discharge coming on.
    3
  1076. Can't argue with that!
    3
  1077. As each of these groups stepped up, I could only think, "You had better be careful you great guys!"
    3
  1078. Forgiveness was taught by Jesus. He didn't advocate for forgetfulness.
    3
  1079. And O.J. was found not guilty of murder. Juries with funny judges do funny things, the reason this case will be appealed. Stay tuned.
    3
  1080. Who is this Anna person?! She's great! People probably should subscribe to her channel, Anna from Ukraine.
    3
  1081. I wouldn't hold my breath. Contractors tend to slip deadlines and run up extra costs. A contract is merely the chance to do demo on your kitchen. Hidden problems pop up and cause delays and extra costs. It's how it's done.
    3
  1082. Ouchy. Oil stocks getting nailed. If it hurts Putin, that's a silver lining.
    3
  1083.  @purpleom9649  Hate to pick on a dyslexia victim but forgiving bad spelling and bad grammar tightens the bonds of low expectations. Doesn't loosen the bonds, tightens them. When one doesn't spell or speak correctly, he or she is secretly or, if it's a friend, not so secretly, judged. Same with table manners. I don't want my friends to be victims, as attractive as that might seem to some.
    3
  1084.  @anonymous-lp4bc  If the full force of Russia can take Bakhmut, the world will send Putin a prize teddy bear he can hug while he awaits law enforcement or his successor, who also will be toast.
    3
  1085. If you fail the buggy training course, they put you in the front.
    3
  1086. The Senate is still sitting on an immigration bill H2 sent them by the House even longer ago. Won't put it to a vote. Canada seems to have sensible immigration laws and enforces them so congrats.
    3
  1087. OK where do the nuclear-tipped weapons go?
    3
  1088. As in how many Russian tanks their advanced aiming systems take out before their barrels get too worn.
    3
  1089. It's called bargaining in bad faith. Patience has run out with him.
    3
  1090. Excited to see YT's note "2024 United States elections The Electoral College has confirmed Donald Trump as president-elect." Special Needs and hermit readers need this sort of notice. Way to go YT!
    3
  1091. 🏆

  1092. Much too clean to be a politician.
    3
  1093. The guy at the front knows he has left a legacy. Let him stay alive and free his land.
    3
  1094. I didn't even know Patton had a motorcycle.
    3
  1095. The power of the pit is how dictators rule. Fear.
    3
  1096. Subscribed. Smart, educated, and principled. Auchincloss can count on my future support.
    3
  1097. Aha, the significance of the F.I.R.E.fly model on Jake's shelf reveals itself. Financial independence comes with the "serenity" to make the life you want.
    3
  1098.  @Perkelenaattori  MAGA has mainly been about the illegal immigration issue, which has affected a number of European countries. Brexit was about immigration, too. People aren't comfortable with new neighbors showing up uninvited.
    3
  1099. Trump may want to buy Greenland, make improvements, and flip the property for big money. But would need to find a buyer, just like he needs buyers for his peace deal promises.
    3
  1100.  @JakeBroe  Sorry the metal posters sponsorship didn't work out. A very cool company but their online discounts were higher than the ones from you. I got three posters.

  1101. Needs mine sweepers as part of the convoy per Jake's observation of how it would go down.

  1102.  @ernestpaul2484  I trust Harris's bold willingness to make changes and hard work. Her work with NASA to excite young people is worth searching on.
    3
  1103. The full debate on whether Zelensky might be only a "small demon" is hilarious. Artur Rehi included it in his video "These Russian soldiers got caught so bad" from 5 days ago. One guy claims that president Z's accomplishments aren't enough for the "official anti-Christ" designation and he's only a small demon. Artur's reaction is worth the price of admission!
    3
  1104. Just subscribed to Brandon Mitchell UA. Of course will binge on older videos.
    3
  1105. I've always liked the Dutch people I've met. I'm American and spent only a short time in Holland.
    3
  1106. Only recently sanctioned tankers, once again following the lead of France and the UK.
    3
  1107. 18:59 Those Swedes look warlike. Thoughtful, ordinarily kind, and ready to follow orders.
    3
  1108. Jake scours the Internet so that we don't have to!
    3
  1109. "Mine is the strength of ten because my heart is pure." Many times I have told myself this over a long career.
    3
  1110. Look at all those thumbs up! Way to go Joe, whoever you are.
    3
  1111. Big thanks to republican Oklahoma Senator James Lankford for wasting everyone's time with an unworkable border and aid bill that didn't even make it out of the Senate. He was supposed to be in touch with his fellow senators as he cooked up the "only 5,000 a day" brainstorm.

  1112. "When you point a finger, three fingers are pointing back at you." - Old saying

  1113. Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, and others with histrionic personality disorder don't know which side their liberty is buttered on.
    3
  1114. And Kamala. Don't forget Kamala.
    3
  1115. Don't bring a tank to a Switchblade fight!
    3
  1116. 28:00 Yes the U.S. should refill the SPR at low prices (and Biden has been smart to sell at record highs). But! Oil exploration and production relies on debt, and if Jerome Powell is raising interest rates to hurt Russia, lower inflation, and increase employment, that's not helping pull petroleum out of the ground. A recession would lower the price of oil. Just my opinion and I could well be wrong. I recently lost my shirt on a bad bet on a single stock. My only regret: I didn't lose it shooting craps!
    3
  1117. Had the same thought. Commanders may rate units better on fire volume than on accuracy. After all, every shell that hits Ukraine creates some terror.
    3
  1118. A young country with an old soul.
    3
  1119. Putin seems to think it's vulnerable.
    3
  1120. More parallels with the Mongol Horde.
    3
  1121. That's not the right number. Needed is yet another audit of what old equipment is worth, including the cost to decommission.
    3
  1122. Where are the GLSDBs from Boeing and SAAB? A contract is more than a promise.
    3
  1123. The media constantly seek out the frisson of the day, what can get a rise out of people and make them watch and click.
    3
  1124. May Thor respond to our sacrifices and stop the sun's movement to the south.
    3
  1125. He has a big flag. That's better than a cape.
    3
  1126. Here you go, what the UN is doing -------->
    3
  1127.  @bobbymurphy4384  Same here. I thirst for information. Jake is awesome. So is Denys Davydov. I recommend subscribing to both, along with Starsky who has a dry sense of humor.
    3
  1128. Wow! You are awesome to go to that amount of effort!
    3
  1129. I appreciate your approach to watching the daily maps, yet I still support and tune into Reporting from Ukraine. I still don't get the special arrangement the Pentagon has to sell freedom weapons for Ukraine when Iraq and Afghanistan were free.
    3
  1130. Members of Congress listen to the sound of cash. My vote, your vote? Puleeze.
    3
  1131.  @canuckprogressive.3435  For this purpose they may allow wives and girlfriends to the front.
    3
  1132. Don't have a pot to piss in and they would have to save up for two years to buy a body bag. But it is the way home.
    3
  1133.  @johnwest7993  Agreed although "flotsam" would also earn my up thumb. 😃
    3
  1134. Troops from the Hermit Kingdom come to the Varmint Kingdom. Some are cultural envoys to train Russians about their future.
    3
  1135. I got tired of crying and started sending money. In my little world, it's been a lot of money. Warning: You'll feel much better but you'll still cry. Still, I will remember that I did something. Slava Ukraini!
    3
  1136. Iron Dome would have come in handy. It was co-developed with American funding.
    3
  1137. I would love to see a debate between Jake and Kamala Harris. Godzilla vs. Bambi.
    3
  1138. The war made me realize not only the Ukrainians are cool, a whole bunch of other humans are cool. And Astro loves each and every one of you.
    3
  1139. I cleared out some weeds that were blocking the big 🟦🟨 sign in my front window. My mom used to say, and it comes from religion, "don't hide your light under a bushel basket." That was her way of saying speak out for what you think is the good (and we can debate what the good is, but speak out for what you think it is). Well, I've got a big assed Ukrainian flag poster in my front window.
    3
  1140. He has some other motive up his crooked sleeve.
    3
  1141. America has been offloading army surplus and giving new contracts to businesses. A political win-win.
    3
  1142. In the early days, Jake didn't run the feel-good clips and I felt like a tough man, not a blubbering mess.
    3
  1143. Ditto.
    3
  1144. He's a good reader.
    3
  1145. Nest! Looky at all the nest supporters!
    3
  1146.  @andersjjensen  The Discharge is pretty close. Just a few decent people. Not all the dems have signed and we know why.
    3
  1147. A number of monopolists who made huge fortunes became philanthropists. It's more of a challenge to donate money to do the right thing when you're just a regular American. But regular Americans like a challenge.
    3
  1148. Ditto from sunny California. It got up to 81 F today. :_trident:
    3
  1149. Can you imagine the guys in the trenches waiting for the vote? I think about them a lot.
    3
  1150. Agreed. This is like a big, free field test for American military contractors.
    3
  1151. Could South Korean politicians be given the right to use insider info to legally invest? This seems to keep our politicians pretty satisfied.
    3
  1152. That command was tried right before the debate. We saw the outcome.
    3
  1153. Canadians aren't just signing contracts for future manufacturing in the districts of political pals for future delivery, as in an IOU. They're shipping the real deal.
    3
  1154. Kirby chuckled in disdain when a reporter asked if destruction of the children's hospital would change American policy.
    3
  1155. Today I received my Jake Broe 1,000 Days of War patch. I'm on a monthly NAFO plan. I encourage everyone to try donating for the good feeling. Sincere thanks to the drivers and organizers. :_heart:
    3
  1156. 3/14/23 The Hill "Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said on Tuesday that the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war is not a “territorial dispute,” pushing back against remarks made by his home-state Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on the matter." Glory to those who pay attention and remember. Remember Bucha!
    3
  1157. Your state capitol? Your federal representatives won't be there.
    3
  1158.  @VajrahahaShunyata  Is it too late for her parents to get genetic counseling?
    3
  1159. The original deadline to take back Kursk was the end of October.
    3
  1160. Anna is especially radiant today. Long ago she mentioned that wearing lipstick was a question of morale for women at war.
    3
  1161. Deny Davydov channel has a more recent photo of the racoon, being tightly held by the scruff of his neck.
    3
  1162. I enjoyed Anna's joke at 1:07:44 My answer to her question about whether great power brings great responsibility. Once America took seriously our responsibility as a world policeman. But now, we spend $850 billion a year on "defense" for what has become a jobs program. We hire boots on the ground who pay taxes in the States and pay manufacturers to replace weapons systems with more expensive versions. Protecting nations that want to be free and democratic? We spent trillions on Afghanis and Iraqis who don't even want that. And of course we have to protect Israel, no matter what it does.
    3
  1163. 15:42 I get very upset by non-drummers showing up at protests with their drums. It's as bad as non-singers stepping up to the mic at karaoke. Subjecting people to one's profound absence of talent should be illegal. Being stupid in general should be discouraged but this is crossing the line.
    3
  1164. Who's in charge of the USA now. Is it the new guy Tim Walz, the coherent one?
    3
  1165. And before the traitors to Ukraine leave.
    3
  1166. Ha! Zelensky gives him what for in English! Fantastic clip, Jake. The Ukrainian national anthem now chokes me up and brings tears to my eyes. I hear sadness, determination, hope, and glory to the heroes all rolled into one song.
    3
  1167. If people like Jake they will love the channel Vlad Vexler. Wondering how the Russian people became so disconnected from their evil empire? Vlad explains.
    3
  1168. Imagine the George Floyd movement in Georgia or Occupy Wall Street. They need to get organized instead of just showing off.
    3
  1169. Just read an article on the billions flowing into red states that make weapons. Neither party is parsimonious when it comes to jobs in their districts.
    3
  1170. I get that way when I see the American flag or see a fire engine go by blaring its siren. I was raised by parents who had been outside of America and taught me how good we have it.
    3
  1171. Yeah, they're kind of saying, we're losing economically so throw your body in front of the approaching freight train. And, wow, that Russian veteran stayed on a knocked out tank to not just shoot the enemy but to help remove the wounded. And he stuck a broom up his ass to sweep up after.
    3
  1172.  @thesuncollective1475  Kamala Harris supporters will soon see her incisive critiques of Trump's decisions. She may go on Joe Rogan and really let Trump have it!
    3
  1173. We have to soldier on without the keen mind of Kamala to guide our national response. There is a Venn diagram to explain the situation.
    3
  1174. How to really make a difference. Which candidates to send money to.
    3
  1175. Don't understand a word but Good Luck!
    3
  1176. Golly, guess the program should have started earlier. Escalation management has opportunity costs.
    3
  1177. I've donated to NAFO via various YT channels, have some patches, but not sure if I'm a member. I'm not really a joiner.
    3
  1178. "Outlets" is the right word. Some finds its way into our coasts and waterways.
    3
  1179. The terror now shifts to the Orcs who will break and run, abandoning their gear.
    3
  1180.  @JakeBroe  I feel that denial of mental illness might be interpreted as a symptom by those who project onto others. Wow, Zelda is OG!
    3
  1181. Las Vegas actually does pretty well in regard to mass transit relative to other cities.
    3
  1182. Good question. He previously had more leeway with the Lend-Lease Bill from Congress but allowed that to expire. With the border situation and the republicans in no mood to help him, he's up to his neck in high muddy water.
    3
  1183. Looky at those calling themselves Christians tolerating crimes against humanity. And it's not only in Ukraine.
    3
  1184. Snowden's mental health may have been compromised. Not saying he's not acting like a jerk these days.
    3
  1185. TVP World, an English channel out of Poland has a series called Break the Fake, all about Orc disinformation.
    3
  1186.  @johnathanhughes9881  Actually, you lower the operating cost by flying more hours. Fuel is miniscule compared to paying a flight crew to perform maintenance.
    3
  1187. Perhaps ask about 5 democrats in the House to vote for a Speaker in exchange for goodies, oh, and restore the functionality of our democracy.
    3
  1188. I hope it won't become partisan. Our elected representatives do weird stuff to play political games, like shutting down the House.
    3
  1189.  @shannonstraughan4383  I wasn't too proud of Afghanistan and Iraq or the extraordinary rendition (code for "torture") and not too crazy about the pace of arms from us Americans. But I'm patriotic to the bone. I guess I share the feelings of all the people who want to live here.
    3
  1190. Jake is very smart, educated, and knows how to make irresistible content. Delighted he got into a house. I bought my first place when interest rates were worse. It works out in the long run. Buying a piece of America changes your life. You get to do DIY and Uncle Sam lets you deduct mortgage interest.
    3
  1191. Everybody leaves out Cuba. That was a serious effort.
    3
  1192. If you like short analyses of combat footage, check out the strangely named but awesome channel Suchomimus Why do I promote? Because he's good. Has a charming English accent. Check out the video analysis in which he uses the word "shrubbery."
    3
  1193. The bill includes some Palestinian humanitarian aid but Israel gets $14 billion.
    3
  1194. Please allow me to plug TVP World, a Polish channel in English. My favorite show is Military Mind but their other programs offer a perspective not available elsewhere. Extremely pro-Ukrainian and much of the humor is about stupid Orc tricks.
    3
  1195. In fairness, doesn't pretty much everything from space travel to the cell phone, mock religion?
    3
  1196. Hooray! Send up a flare. Can GLSDB be renamed Sky Babies or something? The current name is as bad as Mr. Mxyzptlk in Superman comics.
    3
  1197. There are issues than transcend red and blue ties. Human decency is a trait of all good Americans.
    3
  1198. 8:12 I enjoy this line in the article. "A woman presented him with a statuette in a box that apparently exploded . . . ." It's those "apparent" explosions that get ya!
    3
  1199. When you drop phosphorus on Ukrainian troops, they get aggressive. The defender of Bakhmut mentions Butosov as a news source. Butusov Plus has a channel mostly in Ukrainian but you can suss out the dealio. Today, a nice Stugna-P kill on a T-90 Orc tank.
    3
  1200. We can all thank Senator Lankford (R) of Arkansas for wasting precious time negotiating a piece of theatre that gave dems cover on inaction on the border and pointlessly entangled aid to Ukraine.
    3
  1201. Let's blame Trump for Biden's two years of failure to arm Ukraine. His administration's current "concerns" about striking refineries is consistent with a lack of commitment to Ukraine defense.
    3
  1202. Socks work just as well if you have enough pairs to equal the insulating equivalent. But that's a lot of socks.
    3
  1203. National security does involve controlling who enters the country. Thank you for volunteering Canada to accept direct flights from the American southern border. These poor folks have endured long voyages and engaged in lying to take their place in North America. Hey, they won't split the atom but they can shovel snow. Their kids will enjoy learning in your schools and coming to your emergency rooms. Thanks Canada!
    3
  1204. Part of Rogan's emotional reaction, and he is emotional, is Biden doing this as a lame duck. Biden dragged his feet every step of the way. Suddenly, he's a badass.
    3
  1205. The Russian winter helped defeat the Germans, now it helps defeat the Russians. Is it fair to Lukashenko to compare cucumbers?
    3
  1206. I was just thinking, if the Russians bother to train troops about the weapons and the ferocious quality of defenders they will face, how many would jump off the train?
    3
  1207. By letting the Europeans consume their long-range assets, they can become customers for the new and improved American product. Arms dealers tend to be ruthless and not that nice.
    3
  1208. Did you notice that Jake had to modify the report to bow down to the YouTube algorithm/human censors?
    3
  1209. Russia has invented Corpse Rodeo. They invented slap contests now popular in the U.S. decades ago. So that's 2 out of thousands of inventions.
    3
  1210. Planes are made mostly of aluminum. Not magnetic.
    3
  1211.  @boink800  Not a Senator. It's generally polite to precede an opinion with a little research.
    3
  1212. There aren't that many Marine Colonels who also are professors of physics.
    3
  1213. Did you miss the part about the republican insisting on long-range ATACMS? Voting by party is simple, easy, and wrong.
    3
  1214. I know that Ukraine will never surrender. They have no choice. But Jake brings up the critical issue of depopulation. I would add de-infrastructuring, if that's a word. Ukraine can and will win but at what cost? It's time for the United States to get over its jitters about what Putin will think and pump in ONE YEAR'S defense budget, that's $600 billion. Do you throw your neighbor a pen knife to hold off the home invaders?
    3
  1215. Those people in Kherson barely escaped the Orcs. They have family across the river who aren't free to watch president Zelensky. Yeah, I care for them. A shipload.
    3
  1216. Jake's voice is like the clarinet in Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. Here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynEOo28lsbc
    3
  1217. Home of the politically cautious and morally spineless.
    3
  1218.  @daniellarson3068  A lot of them don't have access to drain pipes in their apartment buildings. This is to prevent the equipment from being stolen.
    3
  1219. Well, I'm embarrassed that I didn't even bother to check it. Mea culpa.
    3
  1220. Memorization is easier than thinking, outlawed in Russia.
    3
  1221. Oil was lower in September.
    3
  1222. I donated to two fundraisers on Suchomimus and to a fire victim in California. When the call comes . . . well that's when it comes. Thank you so much for your donation!
    3
  1223. We have to let that Almighty Algorithm know!
    3
  1224. The photos made me cry. Heroism and dedication do that to me.
    3
  1225. True. And the delay will allow time for weapons deliveries to finally catch up with promised.
    3
  1226. I think we already know who's first in line. Didn't hear a peep about no boots on the ground in Iran and watched this on the back burner for years.
    3
  1227. They are so good! Have no idea about the words but the sound is amazing.
    3
  1228. Food doesn't have to be expensive to taste great. My mom fed us well when our family was poor (dad was in grad school).
    3
  1229. History is one thing. This is now.
    3
  1230. Using the terms "left" and "right" suggests a lack of nuance.
    3
  1231. Bill Nye doesn't impress me. Neil deGrasse Tyson does.
    3
  1232. The people of the northern countries are known for not being cheerful and sunny all the time. Want to get the feel for the north, read Kierkegaard
    3
  1233. Joe's gone. Jill and the crew are in charge. He gets ice cream when he reads the words he couldn't write.
    3
  1234. The Russian "mere." A third of Russia's budget is peanuts.
    3
  1235. That steampunk Un train is like something out of the TV show Wild Wild West.
    3
  1236. 16:30 "Mapmaker, mapmaker, make me a map. Ignore all the facts, and fill it with crap."🎵
    3
  1237. The U.S. borrows like there's no tomorrow. Other countries can't do that.
    2
  1238. Please compare this video with the Kamala Harris NASA kids video.
    2
  1239. When you're being raped, the promise of help coming in a few months is cold comfort.
    2
  1240. Subscribed. Now will listen to the discussion.
    2
  1241. The Almighty Algorithm understands better than any human. Of course, putting humans in the mix to override gets nuclear reactors to melt down. So it's a special cluster operation.
    2
  1242. Don't knock it. It obviously works in Russia. Just doesn't export well.
    2
  1243. He's apparently willing to do almost anything for "the goals we have set." Russian people, "What you mean, "we" kimmosabbee?"
    2
  1244. Just a little note. Crocus has a long "o." It's a flower.
    2
  1245. Watching Nancy Pelosi tear up the SOTU speech is up there. These politicians peaked in junior high.
    2
  1246. What makes sense militarily has obviously been abandoned for what makes sense politically.
    2
  1247. The ones who didn't supply military comms for the Sevastopol marine drone raid? That could get messy.
    2
  1248. Russia will give up a buffer zone and that will be part of the eventual deal, along with decades of a reparations tax on oil and gas and return of the children.
    2
  1249. "According to Russian government figures, USSR losses within postwar borders now stand at 26.6 million,[3][4] including 8 to 9 million due to famine and disease." - Wikipedia. Bullet sponge. And Russia wiped out Germany's armor at the battle of Kursk.
    2
  1250. True submersibles have been exploring the ocean for more than 30 years. They discovered deep sea thermal vents that support life without sun and may have been the cradle of life.
    2
  1251.  @IgorFranknstn27  Bite your tongue. Dick Cheney's buddies at Haliburton made a fortune, along with that psychiatrist who invented waterboarding.
    2
  1252. From The Hill on Henry Kissinger, "In May 2022, he told the Davos Economic Forum, “Negotiations need to begin in the next two months before it creates upheavals and tensions that will not be easily overcome. Ideally, the dividing line should be a return to the status quo ante. Pursuing the war beyond that point would not be about the freedom of Ukraine, but a new war against Russia itself.” But Kissinger gets a pass and Musk is the capitulator in chief. What causes that?
    2
  1253. Expect more ads for Russian singles. What's her name has bigguns and enjoys showing them. A future?
    2
  1254. 11:46 There are a bunch of people who aren't white who support Ukraine, for example, in Japan and South Korea. The Caucasian Russians in Moscow and St. Pete are sending non-white ethnic minorities into the meat grinder. Putin doesn't look particularly white. This clown, despite carrying pipes or whatever he did for western oilmen, can't begin to understand that civilized people see monsters and serial killers for what they are, not any particular color. And looking around the world, terrorists come in all colors.
    2
  1255. In contrast to his KGB experience, Putin needs to learn that to free people, not in a cell, threats and terror actually lead to less cooperation.
    2
  1256. A half billion here, a half billion there, pretty soon we're talking about real money." with apologies to Everett Dirkson.
    2
  1257.  @InternetSearchBibleErrors  You don't want to see it. Surprised YouTube seemed to think it could arouse prurient interest. But YouTube "thinks" a lot of stuff.
    2
  1258. Something is keeping the dems in line. I expected some holdouts.
    2
  1259. "Bolton was a supporter of the Vietnam War,[35] but avoided combat through a student deferment followed by enlistment in the Maryland Air National Guard." "Bolton is regarded to be an "architect" of the Iraq War."
    2
  1260.  @ashroskell  Ditto for me! My brilliant comments are disappearing. Oh well, not always so brilliant.
    2
  1261. I have a theory that politicians in democratic countries monitor private donations to Ukraine. It makes them drool.
    2
  1262. Poland's president Andrzej Duda is the first name inscribed in the Kyiv avenue honoring supporters of Ukraine. Boris Johnson is second.
    2
  1263. I haven't seen much of substance about the Trump plan. Lots of support to keep Jill Biden in power based on the unknown.
    2
  1264. Nor will either party impose penalties for hiring illegals. The rich men north of Richmond get their way.
    2
  1265. Thank Senate Majority Leader Schumer for cooking up a package deal.
    2
  1266. I agree completely. I read years ago that a Zebra cannot be domesticated. Afghanistan seems to be a zebra. Ukraine is more like a middle-income suburb. Shut off the water and people will leave. They aren't going to hide in caves for very long. They are counting on law enforcement. It's interesting that the United States has more military vehicles in the possession of police departments than have been sent to Ukraine. Without sufficient arms, Ukraine will be depopulated.
    2
  1267. I checked him out. He's ugly, thinks he's smart, thinks waaaay too slowly, and needs to diet and get his eyes checked. They're different sizes! I mentioned this to him and hope he checks on his Coke-bottle eye prescription. I could almost smell the guy! Ew!
    2
  1268. It's not that cold in Gaza. YouTube won't have a problem with freezing videos.
    2
  1269. Whether we attack Canada depends on the 2024 election. Based on how we conserve arms, it may be in the cards.
    2
  1270. 8:07 Ben Hodges notes that Macron did something that Biden should have done instead of blurting out "No boots on the ground" which soothed Putin before bed.
    2
  1271.  Kellen Dunn  And that would be after the federal and state environmental impact reports were filed, contested in court, appealed and settled with some kind of set-aside to a wilderness area and salaries for docents.
    2
  1272. Putin just yelled "Uncle" with every intention of going back to sadism when he gets a break. What if a rapist asked you for a rest because he was out of breath but stay right there?
    2
  1273. Interestingly the American word "Honky" came from "Hunky" the word for a Hungarian immigrant.
    2
  1274. While Russia has succeeded in eliminating political discussion, American media can't seem to resist politicizing everything. "If the other party supports Mom and apple pie, then Mom and apple pie are bad for America!" I'm concerned that support for Ukraine may go that way.
    2
  1275. :_heart::_f16::_trident:Bill Browder is on Times Radio today 2/24/25 "Trump needs to bankrupt Russia and stop 'pandering' to Putin"
    2
  1276. Being polite, the British dropped leaflets on Germany in the beginning. Later they demonstrated a different approach on Dresden. The Americans have demanded that American arms not be used on Russian soil. But Ukraine makes its own drones. Jolly decent of them to send a wake-up call to Russia's elites.
    2
  1277. Ditto. I am still in mourning. The Ukrainans are my people even though I'm an American.
    2
  1278. Anyone who truly loves President Biden would ask him to step down and allow an actual democrat contender to go up against. It's embarrassing to watch him deteriorate.
    2
  1279. Noting your excellent grammar, Jake, you may want to use the phrase "begs the question" properly. "Begging the question" is a fallacy in argumentation when one assumes the truth of the conclusion, rather than offering an argument for the conclusion. It's better to say "raises the question."
    2
  1280. Have "shown" not showed. Learn to be proud of yourself, not only your ancestry.
    2
  1281. The best thing about owning a place is that you can modify it.
    2
  1282. I'm experiencing deja vu!
    2
  1283. What's the Taiwan deal for protection?
    2
  1284. It was so wise to hold off on sanctioning the precious bankers for almost two years. They might have been upset.
    2
  1285. So excited to hear the prepared statement of Lloyd Austin. He's so qualified they won't let him joke around with the audience. He's wild, man!
    2
  1286. Well, the Varangians aren't about to talk about their poor relatives in Ruzzia.
    2
  1287.  @delfinenteddyson9865  Isn't Chupacabra Mexican folklore?
    2
  1288. Exciting to see the CIA director playing amateur psychiatrist. Any prescription for the 51 retirees who got it all wrong?
    2
  1289. Based on the destruction of their forces that Russia has experienced, a successful raid on Sevastopol might not have deterred them. Do we know how many marine drones "washed uselessly ashore"?
    2
  1290.  @andersjjensen  Or not prosecuted at all. This is a strategy that we see through. It may feel good but it's not proper.
    2
  1291. Always good to pick a French guy to help organize a trip for an American. Quelle bonne idee.
    2
  1292. Israel doesn't want a war with Iran, it wants the U.S. to have a war with Iran. Look at the economics of taking out Iraq and it only makes sense.
    2
  1293.  @barragin9893  Solar panels would have been adopted widely if they worked. They don't. Please think about nuclear power, 24/7 and green.
    2
  1294. Hate to look like a smarty pants (well, that's a lie) but there are 3 isotopes of uranium. "In nature, uranium is found as uranium-238 (99.2739–99.2752%), uranium-235 (0.7198–0.7202%), and a very small amount of uranium-234 (0.0050–0.0059%)." -Wikipedia. Love you, buddy, and you know it.
    2
  1295.  @cacogenicist  And the Russians would be eaten by bears long before giving Yellowstone the shaft. Yogi and Booboo do not represent the average bear.
    2
  1296. God has been kind of late, especially when tolerating intentionally deceptive border deals by Lankford (R) who could have been informed by the Holy Spirit.
    2
  1297. After two years of bungling, Lloyd Austin just came out and said the Ukrainians should shift focus from refineries to the front line.
    2
  1298. Someone is trying give Polish farmers a bad name. A true farmer would never destroy food. The Polish police are to blame for tolerating criminality.
    2
  1299. It must be a message from Odin. Or just a coincidence, which happen.
    2
  1300. 8:12 Wouldn't it be nice if AIPAC cared about atrocities in Ukraine and the ADL called out mischaracterization of Ukrainians as Nazis and publicized the Ukrainian Holocaust. Imagine a united front of decent people who could look beyond tribe and oppose cruelty and injustice for anyone. The fact is, there is such a group of humans and it includes Jews and Gentiles, democrats and republicans. Imagine that!
    2
  1301.  @tray77777  Please name one clean politician.
    2
  1302. Obviously hanging Ukraine out to dry will reduce inflation, lower gas prices, and improve life in trailer parks throughout Matt Gaetz's district in the Florida panhandle. Switching to being serious, distributing the funding for his Elgin Air Force Base to the poor folks would transform their lives.
    2
  1303. Hey! I know you! Good report today.
    2
  1304. Not important to me.
    2
  1305. That's one way of looking at it.
    2
  1306. Agreed! I would like California's economy to be included in the comparisons.
    2
  1307. I think we're all agreed with on this special video. It's not just because we're fans, it's because it's bone-level truth, sung like a song. Try this: Run their conversation in the background. It's like a babbling brook. That also sings.
    2
  1308. Well YT won't censor that! Congrats. YT likes porridge served up lukewarm.
    2
  1309. I trust Clooney.
    2
  1310. The polite Ukrainian violin asks to be heard first. Oh, how I admire the Ukrainian people and their approach to things. They are as fierce as Americans but not as brash as some of us are or have become. The well mannered killers of Ukraine are teaching the barbarians a lesson in humility.
    2
  1311. Any American politician who doesn't "get it" will be voted out. Americans love liberty and want others to have it.
    2
  1312. Agreed. The Warthog is a missile magnet.
    2
  1313. 10:04 On another channel a guy from Portugal said they delivered three Leopards, not two. The headline of this article seems to contradict the text. Bravo Portugal.
    2
  1314. 12:14 Wrong! Those shipping containers are future Russian housing. They will be traded to peasants for their sons.
    2
  1315. Russians merely fleeing Putinism following the collapse as a reason to immigrate won't fit in. They should stay in Russia to make handicrafts and pay the reparations payments.
    2
  1316.  @foundationofthought  "As an unelected citizen in a democracy Musk shouldn't have this much power," but he should have facilitated an attack on Russia's main naval base? Remember what Musk said, "Damned if you do, damned if you don't." We have an elected leader not taking a similarly aggressive move almost a year later. Who's a coward?
    2
  1317. Just subscribed to Paul. I like him and how he thinks. 83 cents a day per American is worth it to save the Ukrainian people and culture.
    2
  1318. I feel that we should support funding for diagnosing and treating Marjorie Taylor Green's genetic condition. Something very goofy about her.
    2
  1319.  @Giganfan2k1  Good call! She may be capable of useful work bagging groceries or something.
    2
  1320. Communism hasn't been berry berry good for Cuba.
    2
  1321. I too am disgusted with how security services are distributed. It happened on Jan. 6 and it happened yesterday.
    2
  1322. Cheney said that Iraqi oil would pay for the war. Then he tortured people. Fiscally and morally bankrupt.
    2
  1323. What if he weren't a father? Politicians seem to need to insert their identity credentials when stating morality that transcends.
    2
  1324. Each channel has its strengths and I watch them all. Check out TVP World and the strangely named but awesome channel Suchomimus
    2
  1325.  @azjeep26  Please check all comments for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Thanks in advance.
    2
  1326.  @alantoon5708  That's for Russians. In Ukraine, Dignity and Freedom Day is a national holiday celebrated on November 21st. This holiday marks the anniversary of the pro-European Union mass protests in 2014.
    2
  1327. Whatever he wears, I hear his words.
    2
  1328. The decent people must face the horror. It is a psychological burden and sacrifice.
    2
  1329. Jake's version is even better than the truth so I like the term "thruth." He is likely right about Putin wanting to cripple the nuclear plant without making a dirty bomb.
    2
  1330. You would be wrong about that. Yes, early people lacked precision and waited to make sure their sacrifices had been answered.
    2
  1331. 18:36 When someone quotes "sources" that differ by 100%, one of the sources may be a cereal box.
    2
  1332. 12:36 Putin has lots of old vehicles but the supply of even the dumb Ruzzians is going to dry up. I would love to see a photo of Putin in a tank like Dukakis. I wish I could post the photo, because it sank his presidential run.
    2
  1333. Thank you for your service!
    2
  1334. Those young people can burn off a number 1 meal in a couple of hours. Calories move through them like nectar through a hummingbird.
    2
  1335. Reading from a carefully written, vetted, and rehearsed script is about as straightforward as spending 20 seconds on the information leaks and not taking questions.
    2
  1336. 20:05 There might be more than one plane. They can taxi into place. This of course violates the Milley Doctrine of "all equipment left behind, we'll make more."
    2
  1337. 22:42 I'm not sure I agree with the notion that Putin is a "white guy." He's not pretty fly, either. (Offspring reference for rock fans)
    2
  1338. JFK did some other stuff because it was hard. So did Clinton who fancied himself the next JFK.
    2
  1339. Arms are big business and big business has to please politicians. It's kind of the opposite of how it is in the U.S. where big business has to buy politicians.
    2
  1340. Trump will let Ukraine twist in the wind. Harris will . . . who knows? I have to hold my nose and hope for the best.
    2
  1341.  @Taistelukalkkuna  And tiny raindrops form the streams. And Jake is a real rainmaker!
    2
  1342. Oh, I've sent money to Andre West for road repairs. Vehicles tear up on bad roads.
    2
  1343. Hitler likely saw Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator.
    2
  1344. Warlords may start selling "loosies." I say we put Brandon in charge of acquisition.
    2
  1345. Looking that spry at 80, looks like he's been eating his Wheaties.
    2
  1346.  @patrickznew7886  Germany has been really gullible about the Greens, pretending to make lovely solar panels and windmills in the front yard with big honking oil and gas pipeline inserted in the back of the house. Maybe the word is inattentive.
    2
  1347. Had never watched Jersey Shore. Eyelashes stick out almost as far as décolletage.
    2
  1348. Ironic given his stance on the A issue. YouTube doesn't seem to like that word.
    2
  1349. But he's a pro at shifting the blame. This isn't his first rodeo.
    2
  1350. People from all over the world contribute to Jake.
    2
  1351. But they won't pick vegetables and clean meat packing equipment.
    2
  1352. DeSantis just stepped in it with regard to the support from any freedom loving American. I suggest he "walk back" his comments if he wants to even get past the primary. But the damage has been done, like the photo of Michael Dukakis in a tanker helmet in 1988. People remember stuff.
    2
  1353. The United States has so many nasty weapons that we don't even know about. When you spend $700 billion a year, there are so many chances to come up with multiple wicked weapons. Want to deploy tactical nukes, Putin? Uncle Sam has been toying with you. Back out.
    2
  1354. I'm especially ashamed that stubborn old Biden won't step down. What an ego, even when the rest of his personality has decayed.
    2
  1355.  @d.i.l.l.i.g.a.f.594  👈 Putin troll. I watch, I see, I remember. Would have been a winning contestant on The Match Game.
    2
  1356. Nice avatar!
    2
  1357. For the wrong reasons about 75 million voted for Kamala Harris, not a wild card, a blank slate.
    2
  1358. UATV has an interview with Dan Rice. If you think you like Ben Hodges, you will love hearing from this West Point graduate who "gets it."
    2
  1359. I'm curious about your service as a missile silo prairie dog. You being so smart and talkative, what was the reaction of the other guy who maybe didn't want to get a PhD in the topics that interest you? Please prepare an entire video to answer my question. With graphics and photos of the other guy if possible.
    2
  1360. Your dad was born in the same year as the 1953 North Sea flood which some Nederlanders remember more vividly than the war. "Afterwards, the government formed the Delta Commission to study the causes and effects of the floods. They estimated that flooding killed 1,835 people and forced the emergency evacuation of 70,000 more. Floods covered 9% of Dutch farmland, and sea water flooded 1,365 km2 (527 sq mi) of land. An estimated 30,000 animals drowned, and 47,300 buildings were damaged, of which 10,000 had to be demolished (or were swept away)."
    2
  1361. Looking forward to my Jake 40th birthday patch. Happy Birthday and grow out your hair! Here's a challenge. If you grow out your hair to match 10 years ago, I pledge $200. Who wants in on the peer pressure campaign?
    2
  1362. I find his croaking as annoying as his views on vaccinations for polio and small pox.
    2
  1363. The opiate of the masses still works to prevent critical thought, which is a lot of hard work. Sleeping well with easy answers is sloth, a sin.
    2
  1364. *better than I
    2
  1365. You thought wrong.
    2
  1366. His power thirsty team thanks you. They are already running the Executive Branch.
    2
  1367. Stinger and Javelin war for sure.
    2
  1368. Few actions on this planet are more cruel than taking a child from its mother. The Orcs will suffer and die. And then they will leave.
    2
  1369. That beachfront property will be so valuable when the pesky peasants are gone. The son in law nailed the plan. K boy knows real estate and gorgeous chicks.
    2
  1370. An argument that I learned from Jake and Ms. Berlin: This is Ukraine's land. The U.S. and Israel have used cluster munitions in huge numbers, not on their land.
    2
  1371. To tell people they are a millionaire for 1/200th the cost?
    2
  1372. That would be a bummer for the incompetent.
    2
  1373. Or he could have the Hawaiian Bride of Frankenstein back on and they could dredge up the biolabs story. Her opposition to the military/industrial complex is odd given the spending in Pearl. "The Federal Government spends more in Hawaii than it gets from taxes on Hawaii residents and businesses. According to this Wikipedia article, Uncle Sam received $7.7 billion from Hawaii and spent $10.7 billion in Hawaii in 2014."
    2
  1374. A hundred bucks to relocate is pretty sweet. But shouldn't Chechens have been deployed to prevent retreat? I'm still trying to understand the Russian mind.
    2
  1375. Yes, along with appointees and choices of running mates, a bipartisan laziness.
    2
  1376. Oh, that's so clever. Congrats! Hadn't seen that before.
    2
  1377. I feel that we should say just Jake or Jake-o-licious.
    2
  1378. Fantastic analysis on the HIMARS stockpile. Great drawing! I watch TVP World, the Polish channel in English and, yes, Poland rocks like a mofo. Olena is awesome. Great AI Art. Kusto art is even better conceptually. Ukrainians are possessed of Yankee ingenuity. One note: "Begging the question" is a classic cheat in argument, asking your opponent to accept your conclusion. Yes, it has been adopted by the ignorant as a replacement for "raising the question" but you're not ignorant, buddy. Part of me wants QQQ to tank (I hold none of that overpriced fanboy stuff). Keep on rockin'.
    2
  1379. It's the much feared "escalation." Now what should America do?
    2
  1380. That's not going to happen. That would be like dismantling a blender to get the little knives.
    2
  1381. You got that one right, brother. You can say that again.
    2
  1382. We've seen what happened when NATO countries didn't fulfill their commitments. Maybe should have heard some tough love earlier?
    2
  1383. Jake seems energetic and motivated to me. But perhaps I'm projecting?
    2
  1384. When the stinky stinky gets out, the Swamp no likee. Both parties BTW.
    2
  1385.  @naektergal  I check in on vlogs like Denys Davydov and Reporting From Ukraine many hours later. The Free World is a big place!
    2
  1386. Pretty sure I saw it on UATV English. Yup. Will offer link in a reply.
    2
  1387. The dear boy is already halfway under the front bumper.
    2
  1388. The Putler youth will not be ready to serve for a couple of years. In the meantime, they can report on relatives who criticize the Beloved Leader.
    2
  1389. Speaking of playing games, why didn't Biden send all the weapons authorized by the bipartisan lend-lease act?
    2
  1390. Thank you for the details. I read an article years ago, possibly in Psychology Today, that torturers are themselves tortured.
    2
  1391. Being fair, unconditional surrender brings "peace." Even on the subway. Sometimes it's ugly but there is peace.
    2
  1392. Didn't know they had their own form of communism involving a monarchy. Marx is spinning like a Dremel tool.
    2
  1393.  @ML-jr1yz  We also agreed to spell correctly. It hasn't worked out.
    2
  1394. Kim Jong Un didn't get jack. Big buddy. Putin is invited to compare the size of his units.
    2
  1395. Perhaps like the French use vous for you in plural and for respect? The French use tu for you in the familiar.
    2
  1396. After the Cheney wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, including huge wads of cash going missing, it makes sense to keep an eye on how the Pentagon operates in a foreign conflict. They can't even account for money gone missing even before Feb 24, 2022. Big, sloppy, and unaccountable.
    2
  1397. My theory is that it was done from the inside with a pipeline vehicle called a PIG.
    2
  1398. 2:17 Who is "Johnny Miller"? "First of all, this man keeps representing himself as a British journalist. He is an Iranian journalist with British citizenship, actually. He works for Iranian state-owned English-language channel Press-TV, created to promote Iran to the world." "he is a pro-Russian propagandist indeed, no matter how much he declares himself as a “Johnny Miller, British journalist”.
    2
  1399. Jake's favorite movie reveals he is not obtuse.
    2
  1400. Since when could D.C. bureaucrats keep their grubby paws off of anything? "Look at me, I'm a game changing negotiator. Maybe I can get a promotion."
    2
  1401. Germany shut down 23 perfectly operating nuclear power plants. So they can do some things when they want to.
    2
  1402. Hasn't worked yet but thanks for the sentiment. He carries our football.
    2
  1403. Oh dear, the Orcs are getting the crap beat out of them or as we polite ones say, having their doo doo forcibly removed by way of multiple impacts.
    2
  1404. 11:46 But look at that old Soviet faith that shifted from the great beyond to later on. "The gas supply hasn't reached us YET "
    2
  1405. Jake not Joe. Joe is the guy who didn't spend Lend Lease to help Ukraine.
    2
  1406. American politicians are very much latest shiny object (LSO) types. I wouldn't trust any agreement our shady, shifty, surprisingly wealthy elected leaders make for more than two years.
    2
  1407. You said it, brother, you said it. We are paying a shipload to get this sort of mission handled and pronto. Oh, it might make Putin sad. He understands force and only force. Let's get on the stick Sullivan and Austin. You can do this. A democratic country is being torn limb from limb. Time is a luxury already squandered.
    2
  1408. In fairness, Mike Waltz served and won four bronze stars. However, he served in an army that had overwhelming force and air superiority. That could increase the willingness of Ukrainians to serve and "stabilize" the front. Perhaps Waltz could help make those military luxuries available before inviting 18-year-olds to the front?
    2
  1409. More oil. Can't sell it.
    2
  1410.  @CollectiveWest1  Just my two cents, which is worth either a ruble or four, it depends on the spread between buy and sell.
    2
  1411.  @christinekane6059  It's amazing! I wish I could be this creative! Biden spells out dementia.
    2
  1412. UNITED24 has set up a Help Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital Recover fund. I donated to send a message to the Orcs (and to make myself feel better, I'm quite selfish).
    2
  1413. Geniuses who think they hold the puppet strings. Not this addled since Arab Spring.
    2
  1414. Sweden stands proud during this time of great evil.
    2
  1415. Jesusland is at stake and he took a purity oath.
    2
  1416. Don't you remember American leaders "predicting" a long war? And Austin saying the true part out loud, that the goal was to "bleed" Russia? And Milley harping on how difficult and "bloody" it was going to be? When they who control all the toys speak, it pays to imagine what they have in mind.
    2
  1417.  @tonupharry  I have no idea how often my comments have been deleted. I never check. "Never give up, never give in" Kind of like in the film Galaxy Quest and that Russian guy.
    2
  1418.  @JakeBroe  But he's all grown up!
    2
  1419. The possible demise of the American nickel could hurt metal sales?
    2
  1420. Seeming to remember Putin humiliating Trump seems to call for some details about those occasions.
    2
  1421. Kamala would have been a great communicator. Just joshing.
    2
  1422. Lucashenko now known as the Polonium Puppet. Get well soon so Putin can't draft your men.
    2
  1423. Obviously, he was speaking tongue in cheek. He got the Peanut Gallery to shut up for a while when making the proposal to mobilize millions to carry out a Chechnya-style humanitarian slaughter.
    2
  1424. I still feel that Kamala Harris might have been a great leader to talk to Putin when the cat no longer had her tongue. She's mean but communicates mostly with facial expressions and hand motions.
    2
  1425. That South African dude has nothing on me when it comes to rage and grief. It's sickening to see a world chock full of politicians saying words like "freedom" and "human rights" when they see injustice and use it to play self-serving games. Can you imagine your kids being subjected to what has happened? They can't because they lack fellow feeling, actual compassion, or even shame.
    2
  1426. I feel that it's time for a Ukrainian banzai charge against the Russians but the Ukrainians haven't hired me as a general.
    2
  1427. A good triptik but when parked in Russia the hubcaps would be stolen.
    2
  1428. Putin is like a child star. Detached from reality early. Thinks doing the same green men thing will work.
    2
  1429. I watched both of them. Trump keeps repeating his alternate Universe story that it never would have happened. Fine, whatever, it happened. Get real.
    2
  1430. 6:41 The sight of disloyal Ukrainians enjoying prosperity and abundance must make Ruzzians resent them. Sorry, Sick Man of Europe, you aren't part of the fun. Your old girlfriend, Ukraine, is gone, gone, gone, whoa whoa whoa (sung to the Righteous Brothers tune in the Top Gun bar scene).
    2
  1431. Stopping attacks on the Highway of Death because it wasn't "sporting" or whatever the term struck me as foolish. Those bastards tortured the people of Kuwait to get their stuff.
    2
  1432. I'm on wave 11. What should I do?
    2
  1433. I'm curious what Ben would say about the character of Kamala Harris, the heir apparent.
    2
  1434. Jake is waaay too honest for politics.
    2
  1435. You mean they discouraged showing films from the country that sent little green men in 2014? That definitely sounds like bias.
    2
  1436. 24:29 I've got news for you, Jake. That cat DOES own the place! You're the best curator of cool stuff about the Ukraine war, if I haven't mentioned it lately.
    2
  1437. They will leave their heads.
    2
  1438. If there is a Ukraine left to remember. Too bad the democrats forced the republicans to pick a Speaker that appealed to the Whacky Eight.
    2
  1439. 7:24 Time really flies when you still think it's 1990, you silly old bat. Ukraine became independent with the other "satellites" in 1991, as in 31 years ago. Bolshevik minds frozen in time, still in denial as the Dark Time begins.
    2
  1440. This is by far the largest number of Russian POWs I've seen in a video, far more than the last one I saw that showed them making crafts.
    2
  1441. There's a place for looking at the daily maps. I follow the YT channel Reporting from Ukraine. For even finer detail on the location of destroyed Orc equipment, Suchomimus is tops.
    2
  1442. Olga Scabeaver lies like a rug.
    2
  1443.  @JakeBroe  Whatever happens, I'll keep checking in on your thoughts!
    2
  1444. MTG hasn't ever been tortured and I hope she never is. I don't want to see her attached to electrodes sending excruciating pain through her genitals. That would be wrong. But it's also wrong for others.
    2
  1445. And it still made a delightful video. I watched the racoon part twice. No, not Prigo, the real racoon!
    2
  1446. Could they be mailed to various Orc headquarters and explode when opened?
    2
  1447. GLSDB, really rolls off the tongue. Congrats on the fantastic name Boeing. Now, what do real people call it?
    2
  1448. HIMARS fire ER GMLRS rockets with extended range of up to 150 km (93 mi).
    2
  1449. That's real "bombs bursting in air" stuff.
    2
  1450. Zelensky went on Trump's Pawn Stars and decided his country was too precious to sell. Their culture makes Ukrainians take extortion offers harshly?
    2
  1451. They seem to be holding the Orcs by the nose and kicking them in the ass. I saw a drone operator on the hromadske channel who doesn't want to leave but will if ordered. Ukraine seems to know what it's doing which is more that I can say for some.
    2
  1452. I've been thinking about you! You have the heart of a gambler, no woulda coulda shoulda excuses. What's important is to have good reasons for your bets and remember that when it zigs instead of zags. Mr. Market is not a rational actor.
    2
  1453. There are others not helping Ukraine. We know who they are but they don't get mentioned. What causes that?
    2
  1454. Comments help every channel, so thanks! I'm a recent fan of Professor Gerdes Explains for the massive content on what's going on in Ukraine.
    2
  1455. History shows that those supplying missile components will eventually be exposed. Their names should be remembered.
    2
  1456. Israeli cargo ships will be respected. I know things. It's not because they're neutral, it's because they already got America to invade Iraq to take out WMDs presumably threatening them. Iran, well, provocations haven't been wanting over the years. America may attack and need weapons stores for that. I pay attention. Jake is the smartest guy when it comes to the Ukraine War.
    2
  1457. What's the best weapon for the Ukrainians? The weapon available now.
    2
  1458. The U.S. has produced approx. 10,400 Abrams tanks. If they're as high maintenance and hard to learn as advertised, 1) how did they function so well in Iraq and 2) why have so many been produced? And why are other countries buying them?
    2
  1459. Satellite photos indicate that drones intentionally targeted aircraft right behind the wings, intending to ignite fuel tanks, according to Suchomimus.
    2
  1460. Consider them your inferiors. It's been done time and again.
    2
  1461.  @IRGeamer  As an American, it bugs me when anybody buys the party line that not voting for them is the "end of democracy."
    2
  1462. Germans need to get over their guilt complex. Pretending to be "green" when they aren't is especially annoying heart-on-sleeve, genuflection to signal virtue where there is none.
    2
  1463. This is a burden on Ukraine, like in Pulp Fiction. "When you came pulling in here did you see a sign that said 'dead Russian storage'?"
    2
  1464.  @natureb2267  When campaign contributions are not constrained even Democratic Republics end being ruled by the wealthy UNLESS the Little People realize they need to contribute.
    2
  1465. That would make sense if they were being produced, wouldn't it?
    2
  1466. Jake knows his fans know him. A man who doesn't need an introduction.
    2
  1467. I notice that the NYTimes piece has an option to "🎁give this article." Well, here you go Putin, you have at least one confused essayist willing to believe you're trustworthy.
    2
  1468. Tulsi Gabbard also used to talk about "bio labs" in Ukraine but seems to have stopped. She may believe in the infected birds theory, who knows?
    2
  1469. You can bet your bottom dollar. Stuff that falls off the back of a truck (wink, wink) is sold for dollars.
    2
  1470. Can you imagine being an American? Choosing between the likes of Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden? All three are "certifiable." That's what we call a candidate for a nuttery.
    2
  1471. 9:50 Looks like Karl Malden, Jr. Again, yes, Germany got the job done. But American military leadership is focused on making predictions and studying how many Ukrainian troops can survive with the arms "drip supply" approach, potentially useful military speculation and empirical research.
    2
  1472. you're

  1473. Thorsten Heinrich is in German.
    2
  1474. They are trained to be artillery.
    2
  1475. Yes, cats give hints. I ignore them at my peril. But Putin's kitty cat days are over. He's now a polecat.
    2
  1476. Bro, dude, Kamala's theatrics included pretending Joe was competent and she was, too.
    2
  1477. Survey says, Orcs favorite entertainment: Atrocities
    2
  1478. And punishment for war crimes to preserve a semblance of law and order.
    2
  1479. Hey, thanks! I'm into knowledge about Ukrainians.
    2
  1480. But what if Cuba, the communist success story, gets that inflatable nuke?
    2
  1481. I never know when I'm going to bust out crying but it's always a risk on Jake Broe's vlog.
    2
  1482. Thanking people for not supporting human rights? I'm confused.
    2
  1483. America voted against U.N. resolution to condemn Russia with other creepy governments.
    2
  1484. 16:55 The FSB promises may be liquid, if you know what I mean. Speaking of which, isn't it time for the west to offer "protection" deals for the offspring of Russians? It would be a real shame if something happened to them.
    2
  1485. The game was called "shooting fish in a barrel." Now it's called "Jaws 9, Putin's Gonna Need a Bigger Boat."
    2
  1486. The Heart of Darkness will be taken out by his own people.
    2
  1487. If it's the same when I heard (maybe on channel Hromadske?) he gave a range between 7 to 1 and 10 to 1 in some places. Of course the guy is Ukrainian but I tend to believe them.
    2
  1488. It's not a recession is a growsession, job growth with lower GDP because Starbucks jobs don't produce much. Semantics are very powerful in the mind's of some and those who want to stay in power.
    2
  1489. Oh, I'm sure deliveries have already been made given the enthusiasm. Not like in the Middle East where a force can be assembled in two shakes, but as fast as second fiddle gets.
    2
  1490. 14:33 Jake, this made me bust out laughing! "I hate to be the one to break this news to you."
    2
  1491. Jill gets a thrill when her puppet answers all the questions.
    2
  1492. Golly, that American embassy has been so valuable in stopping Putin from taking all those other places. Maybe they can do their valuable, well paid jobs from home?
    2
  1493. 0:52 That would be Thomas Cole, American painter. I would recommend his four-painting series The Voyage of Life.
    2
  1494. The Orc attacks on schools proves how much they fear Ukrainian minds.
    2
  1495.  @troelsersking101  It's not up to Trump to settle.
    2
  1496. I had to do some work today to make more money. I am overwhelmed keeping up with high-quality content from people like Jake, Anna, Denys, Starsky, and, hell, you guys know the other names. I am subscribed to so many excellent vloggers and I haven't even donated to Suchomimus's latest campaign. Look at me, I am buried in golden riches! Slava Ukraini.
    2
  1497. Ga zo door your own self!
    2
  1498.  denniswilson8013  Wow, that's revelatory. Thanks!
    2
  1499. The propensity to loot seems familiar. Can't quite put my finger upon it.
    2
  1500. I promised not to look away and to always remember.
    2
  1501. Old mobsters never change.
    2
  1502. The Biden experience suggests not.
    2
  1503. Pretty low bar. Also better coverage than Highlights magazine.
    2
  1504. Every story about anything is a story about Trump. Interesting.
    2
  1505.  @GaryGraham-sx4pm  Crap artist? I think we're closing in.
    2
  1506. Too bad the ASAP ship sailed last year. Maybe there was hope for a trade for Ukrainian land for a cease fire?
    2
  1507. Russia is rotten to the core. It's amusing how some Russians believe they have law and order as they enjoy the new ersatz McDonald's, the MacPeasant, two all-beet patties.
    2
  1508. And the correct pronunciation of Paris is Paree. Berlin is Bearlin. Etc. So let's all get on that pronto.
    2
  1509. Included with the North Korean ammo shipments are useful pamphlets for the Russians, "Getting Along with Your Dictator, Do's and Don'ts."
    2
  1510. Who's satellites are being used? Musk's? American military, and wouldn't that be "escalation"?
    2
  1511. "Fodder" means food, mostly for cows and horses, so the hapless separatists and ethnic minorities are literally "cannon food."
    2
  1512.  @trvsfrnd  U.S. TV reporters have moved onto the next shiny object but regular Americans will never forget nor forgive.
    2
  1513. 14:36 Can we Americans pretend that this stalemate was not fully calculated in advance? Milley and Blinken "predicted" a long bloody war. When massive arms drawdowns were approved as lend/lease but not acted upon, the ink went onto the pages of the history books. America was willing to tolerate a partial genocide in Ukraine.
    2
  1514. It began with spell check and I'm now a junkie of spell check. I barely try to spell words right.
    2
  1515.  @Jonassy-r1f  In fairness, how can a human conversation be more interesting than what's on a smartphone? Still, I think it's rude and people should pretend. Problem is, the whole group is itching to look at their phones!
    2
  1516.  @MausMasher54  Yes, like the example of Cincinnatus, the unwilling general in the Roman army. You missed a crucial perk, insider trading. It's where they make the big money.
    2
  1517. Military contractors, their lobbyists, politicians, and military with aspirations for posts following retirement aren't that excited by dispensing weapons already paid for. America could spare some ATACMS with zero impact on national security. But a long war is really a long trough for weapons makers bellying up for that sweet DoD money.
    2
  1518.  @briansmith6862  Yeah, Jake. A lot of us non-readers out here.
    2
  1519. The distinction between contract soldiers from the hinterland and conscripts had eluded me. Jake, you go deeper than others in your analyses. Please talk about Walz leaving the National Guard AFTER he filed to enter the race in the House (It's in Wikipedia).
    2
  1520. Good point. 89 may be due to finding extra chunks blown to kingdom come.
    2
  1521. 12:46 Putin does the Gavin Newsom shoulder dance. Neither is a fan of Billy Joel's "We Didn't Start the Fire."🎶
    2
  1522. Thank you!
    2
  1523. Tulsi Gabbard is running around saying that America is risking a nuclear war. She previously talked about bio labs in Ukraine but stopped talking about that. She and other are talking about "billions" being spent in Ukraine. Well, we Americans spend $700 billion on defense every year and our warehouses are stuffed with equipment. She's right about military waste but not right about where to send it.
    2
  1524. A red letter day for the Orcs. How patriotic. Will Putin erect a monument to Two-legged Meat? Perhaps a giant bronze wave of miserable, angry faces?
    2
  1525. 7:15 was the high point of the interview for me. Zelensky laid out the historical set-up and then used profanity to drive home the point.
    2
  1526. The breakneck pace of America sending war surplus and the training to go with it suggests Ukraine might be able to repel the Russians in a matter of years. Color me unimpressed with bureaucrat lifers.
    2
  1527. Oh dear, the number of Executive Branch agencies are numerous. The Supreme Court recently reduced their ability to act without supervision.
    2
  1528. Putin hopes for Chechnya II. Same methods. Doing what worked before expecting it will work again is not the definition of insanity. Not realizing it's not working this time, is a loser gambler mentality. Putin went all in on a pair.
    2
  1529. ​ @a.c.6020  I always crack up when Denys Davidov says Fico's full name.
    2
  1530. As though there is a difference in the two parties.
    2
  1531. Excited to hear the reaction of Orc propagandist Skankbeeva to Makeevka. Not really, I just wanted to share that rhyme.
    2
  1532. It only takes a few security forces to control what happens. Russia excels at this.
    2
  1533. Maybe we can buy and flip Greenland then buy Kalingrad?😃
    2
  1534. You crazy bastard, I love you. I lost a shipload in the market and could share with you what a loser I was. Your thoughtful vlogs gave me a normal American perspective. Smarty pants!
    2
  1535. Too bad about the tsunamis preventing nuclear plants from reopening in Germany. Once a believer, always a believer?
    2
  1536. How about a small brass band and some ferns?
    2
  1537. One per target seems feasible given that many targets will run back to Russia.
    2
  1538. I agree. Shortening Russia's time attacking will reduce suffering. BTW I find a number of excellent videos aren't recommended by YouTube. When I encounter something good out of the ordinary recommendation list, I often subscribe to find it again.
    2
  1539. The commentment seems to be mostly the comment "As long as it takes" as meaningless as "No child left behind" when you think about it.
    2
  1540. I prefer to call him a comedian. He pulled the greatest gag on Russia since Karl Marx.
    2
  1541. I said negative things about them when they were late. I went overboard and I apologize. I'm old and cynical about the defense industry.
    2
  1542. We will never forget the Ukrainian people and the injustice that must be corrected. Thank you so much for this excellent video and all the stars who appeared!
    2
  1543. How can you be pro-Biden and not realize that Kamala is the candidate? Kind of difficult to get excited about that prospect.
    2
  1544. What if Trump declared full support for Ukrainian victory?
    2
  1545. This is Carlson's third strike working at a network; the first two networks leaned left. But not supporting Ukraine and entertaining Tulsi's biolabs theories was neither right nor left, all jerk.
    2
  1546. 10:14 The UK is making American military leaders look like wafflers. Now Russia is giving Great Britain the credit for starting their Ukrainian problem! Darn it, Victoria Nuland and the CIA were given credit previously. This makes America look slow and indecisive despite our having invested a shipload in developing and manufacturing weapons. This isn't fair to the taxpayers.
    2
  1547. 18:43 is true Sergeant York stuff.
    2
  1548. Thanks because I wanted heads to roll. Financial Times of London now faces the wrath of the world. Hey, Wrath of the World might be a good name.
    2
  1549. A good guy to have along on a search for a house due to his training in USAF "site preparation." High interest rates seem like a negative, but they chill out the competition. Find a house(s) you love but don't let the agents know. 😀Be outwardly prepared to walk away as you hope they accept your lowball offer.
    2
  1550. American politicians would like Americans to ignore the terror in Ukraine. But we won't.
    2
  1551. Hey Orc medic, karma's a b. How many Ukrainian civilians screamed "I am in pain" while they were being tortured by your boys?
    2
  1552. There is one way that the Little Americans can counter AIPAC and all the PACs and big money. Generosity. Your vote is no longer enough. To be a good citizen you have to donate to politicians. Don't squawk, it's not tax deductible. Neither was the blood of our forefathers. It doesn't matter who. I gave to Marianne Williams (because she speaks of the pompitus of love), Tulsi Gabbard (due to her comments on military waste and later betrayed by her biolabs theories on Tucker Carlson because she seeks celebrity, not justice), and Susan Collins (because she stopped a lynch mob). As we learned in Boy Scouts about poison, "dilute it, dilute it, dilute it." As much as we want to, do not induce vomiting, it doesn't work.
    2
  1553. I heard this, too. I also heard they have a CEP of 600 meters. Six football fields seems pretty inaccurate if you want to take out a carrier.
    2
  1554.  @JakeBroe  The FSB certainly isn't going to cover up this embarrassment.
    2
  1555. I look forward to the day when we, Jake's fans, can be called offenders instead of defenders. The offensive will come when it makes sense. I have faith in the UA military leadership.
    2
  1556. One party votes in a block. The other is divided.
    2
  1557. Oh, and I hear you. Genocide even by our most valued and chosen still sucks.
    2
  1558. Agreed. Being American I wonder what primary-ing people like Chuck and Hakeem brings in what? Chuck looks like the politician in the film Oh Brother Where Art Thou.
    2
  1559. The Saudis can and have driven down the price of oil when they put the squeeze on American fracking. It worked for a while. American producers respond to the price and drill when oil is around $70. They aren't going to drill at a lower price just to make Trump happy. But the U.S. continuing to patrol the sea lanes for free might make the Saudis grateful enough to open the taps and American producers be danged. It's transactional.
    2
  1560.  @peterroach3045  So you're writing a mystery novel? We're hanging on your every word about why you disagree.
    2
  1561. Based on previous training instructors' testimonials, expect the Ukrainians to display Top Gun performance. They seem like nice guys but they go vampire when they smell Orc blood.
    2
  1562. Time to be an early investor in the West Bank! Jake, I thought you were an investor kind of guy. Ethics holding you back? Me too.
    2
  1563. Ukrainians seems to take being gorgeous as the ordinary. What they don't take for granted is their freedom. It's not inevitable.
    2
  1564. 37:05 I love this photo of regular Ukrainians who went to do their patriotic chore. Can you imagine being a relative of someone whose house was being sold in Mariupol by a ghoulish real estate agent? "Hurry and get a great deal, comrade. We can supply photos of the former owners who won't be back." Morbid is the word, Anna.
    2
  1565. Must have missed that.
    2
  1566. And quality viewers who tune in every time.
    2
  1567. Wouldn't the UK have to meet the offer price? Right of first refusal doesn't mean the right to name the price. Of course, it's all absurd. Trump loves making a scene.
    2
  1568. The power plants alone . . . sheesh.
    2
  1569. Will Boeing and Saab return the money they charged for GLSDB? Just kidding. Of course, they won't. Many people don't know this: Leonardo da Vinci sold ideas and drawings for weapons that would never work in this time. Genius.
    2
  1570. Is ketamine a rare earth? Musk might keep Starlink on in exchange for bumping up his stash.
    2
  1571. Mike Johnson is a known Jesus freak who works to fight abortion (an American freedom to plan their families and their lives) and has shady finances according to an article. If only the democrats had shown a little wisdom and negotiated for a moderate, the republicans wouldn't have voted for a vengeance candidate. Now an extremist decides what legislation comes to the House floor. Question: Do your proposed three republicans want to repeat the democrats again digging in their heels and refusing to vote for anyone but Hakeem Jeffries?
    2
  1572.  @symbionese2348  That means "shore." Then again, I don't know what a "literal plane" would be.
    2
  1573. When Russians claim a pause, it's not.
    2
  1574. There "am" far too "manyning" goods getting in and out. Time to "crack out" a grammar book and a Slim Jim.
    2
  1575. Putin has experienced a "pause" in elimination. Yes, he's full of it.
    2
  1576. A deal with Putin is a deal with Putin.
    2
  1577.  @NANDOFFDataRecovery  Suddenly, when Jake said it would pass (while Vance was showing off his reading skills), a wave of relief overcame me and I started to cry. It took me by surprise. Weird.
    2
  1578. I believe in bombings where torture is taking place. Death is better. If you disagree, think more about torture and how its victims beg for death.
    2
  1579. They stopped renting tuxes and buying corsages to attend the gaz prom.
    2
  1580. 24:24 Surprised to see an Orc use a trash can. Most are Litter Bugs. 🕷
    2
  1581. They have Yankee ingenuity. Typical farm people. You learn how to fix stuff or you starve.
    2
  1582.  @jacqdanieles  His style of creating a frisson, a controversial tone, is so old school 60 Minutes.

  1585. Will the other tanks be there in 2024 when the Abrams finally get manufactured?
    2
  1586. Plenty of conscripts in the exchange fund makes the risk of taking contract prisoners on the main front less worthwhile.
    2
  1587.  @PeterLawton  Bill Clinton signed but didn't bother to ask Congress. It was just a memo and Obama ignored it completely.
    2
  1588. I've been a skimmer, too, on oils and oil related. Roth withdrawals don't come with taxes.
    2
  1589.  @giomas3728  Heroyam Slava! Thank you.
    2
  1590. Putin did precede his move on Ukraine with celebrations of the Great Patriotic War. But this was not enough to re-politicize the sleeping Russians after 20 years. In short, not good at foreplay.
    2
  1591. A lot of people will be voting democrat based on abortion rights, ignorant that federal representatives aren't going to affect that. State, yes. It's a basic freedom and Mike Johnson wants women to be incubators but he can't take it away.
    2
  1592. Kiwis rock!
    2
  1593. Several democrat Senators voted against the bill. Are we allowed to mention their names or is it just "bad republicans" time? 22 republican Senators voted for it. In the House, Hakeem Jeffries tricked the democrats to not vote for a moderate for Speaker. And he has the gall to do it again. What an ego!
    2
  1594. It shows how Ukraine can destabilize MAD if their defense needs aren't met.
    2
  1595. 4:58 Mark Milley needs to get out the the prediction business and into the delivery man business. The customer tells you what they need, you listen, and deliver, quick like a bunny. There's a extra medal in it if you do a good job.
    2
  1596. Sullivan is now "surging" because he dicked around.
    2
  1597. 49:15 Yes, exploding tanks suggest it's easy. Biden has already sent 31 tanks and it's time to relax, right? Some Americans have interpreted Ukraine hanging on by its fingernails as not needing an ongoing supply of weapons, in fact, an overwhelming supply of weapons to de-occupy its land and then keep them protected. Today, shiny object status was lost to Israel. America reminds of the scene in Apocalypse Now when the Robert Duval character gives a speech about giving water to a prisoner, then drops his canteen out of reach. Am I saying most Americans are a silly, distracted people? Yes. Get the job done, Biden.

  1598. I wish I could could give my patch to a person who gives at a lower level. I have a bunch of patches I earned in Scouts. I never look at them. I know what I did and feel good about it.

  1601. Couldn't agree more. The military/political complex, including which representatives' states are home to a company, or how many pals they have in the Pentagon, can be more important than the tech. In fact, who gets the contract decides who makes the tech since it's often artists' conceptions and a good story.

  1605. 9:20 By filing a lawsuit that the secession of former Soviet republics should be overturned, Ruzzia would be admitting that it's a fait accompli, a done deal. Let's hope they do and lose.

  1606. It's just one politician, the Commander in Chief. Is that the new Walz guy? He seem capable of coherent speech off the cuff and has experience in the National Guard.
    2
  1607. Right on. Putin took a bite in 2014 and wasn't corrected. Went for the whole apple and wasn't smart enough to back off and bide his time when the coup failed. Made impatient by disease? Poker players do go "on tilt" and go all in on a pair.
    2
  1608. Ukraine needs to release grisly photos and videos to keep American cable and network news interested. They like to blur images and say "Some may find the following disturbing." If it bleeds, it leads. Quiet suffering doesn't.
    2
  1609. When I see comments that say "best ever" I question whether they saw Operator Starsky's report on kit aircraft. I wish more people had invested the time to pay attention.

  1610. It is brilliant. Ukraine's ultimate resistance is inevitable. The question is whether the fighters will be reduced to the level of Afghan tribesmen. The United States has the power to decide.

  1615. If the Abrams is so unfit for the field in Europe, as an American taxpayer, I want a refund.
    2
  1616. On the way up, HIMARS targets say "Hi Mars."
    2
  1617. I don't see a clear path to Mike Johnson remaining Speaker. Can he provide that? Otherwise he deserves no campaign contributions.
    2
  1618. Hegseth is no Lloyd Austin, that's for sure. Maybe Kamala Harris could run with Austin in 2028?
    2
  1619. After two years of inadequate logistics, let's blame the other party.
    2
  1620. But Pete was in the National Guard. He knows about war stuff.
    2
  1621.  @antlerman7644  It's not a left/right thing. It's a dumb/smart thing. America has already invested in the weapons to counter Soviet aggression. Not using those arms is timid and overcalculated. The probability of Putin pushing the button is neither increased nor decreased by arms to Ukraine. He has Georgia. He has Chechnya. He jails dissidents. He's the mob boss.
    2
  1622. They doesn't because because they's been organizing two years of action, however puny.
    2
  1623. Maybe Putin was concerned the reporter would catch his rabies and take over Russia?
    2
  1624.  @PeterLawton  That's a very true comment. I enjoy comments that are true.
    2
  1625. Jill knows what to do. She's a doctor.
    2
  1626. Let's learn more. "In 2013, Witkoff and Harry Macklowe purchased the Park Lane Hotel on Central Park South in Manhattan for $660 million.[20] That year, Witkoff and Fisher Brothers also purchased a parcel of land in Tribeca in Manhattan for $223 million on which they built a 792-foot high residential tower, 111 Murray Street."
    2
  1627.  @andersjjensen  Yes, but the President can be overridden with a super-majority vote.
    2
  1628. One who cared about the patient's pain would use a travois or a cart. Even a walking horse introduces too much motion.
    2
  1629. I see these "two wars" as quite different. And the horrific atrocities in one get far less publicity.
    2
  1630. UNITED24 is running a cool raffle of brass eggs made from shell casings. Costs 25 bucks to get in the raffle. I should have my head examined for encouraging competition because I'd really like to win one.
    2
  1631. Putin is to the human race as a pig's b#$%^hole is to roses.
    2
  1632. New Patreon member today. A pittance compared to your contributions. Thank you, buddy!
    2
  1633. Wikipedia is a font of knowledge. I donate $6 a month even though I heard they use my money for the Wiki foundation weirdo projects.
    2
  1634. 0:13 Now that they've switched up the graphic, somebody should correct the typo "multiply launch rocket system."
    2
  1635. This is the only guy who posts the price of natural gas when talking about Ukraine. What a different kind of person. Coming up on 300K subscribers. If you failed to subscribe, fix that.
    2
  1636. I'd like a little more berserker in American politicians. It's all all little too calm and calculated.
    2
  1637.  @virginiaoflaherty2983  The word is "negotiation" to return control to our sovereign border. 10,000 a day is not acceptable.
    2
  1638. Putin is doing an ethnic cleansing and doesn't care how many die.
    2
  1639. I don't think the Ukrainian death numbers are as high.
    2
  1640. How much I love these two guys. I can't say it. Too strong. No way. 🔱

  1641.  @lawrencewelshman5717  3rded! 🟦🟨

  1642. Uncle Sam gets bored and, after spending a fortune, moves on like an out of control bulldozer.
    2
  1643. I said something similar. Jake you #$#%^ for showing us that little girl.
    2
  1644. That seems to be under debate, possibly due to the semantics of what counts as "armored." Each is equipped with two tank killer TOW missiles and that's undeniable.
    2
  1645. Intel's P/E of 7.8 is kind intriguing. They make chips. Uncle Sam wants chips. I really get a kick out of your videos! Win or lose, you're a winner in my book (but I wish you would win 😃).
    2
  1646. It's clear that Jake doesn't rest on the laurels of being exceptional. He works!
    2
  1647. Jake was tested for sanity for his previous job.
    2
  1648. Correct. Those are global totals. I looked it up. Many people gave up on numbers in elementary school. That's sad.
    2
  1649. Vote and also contribute to campaigns. I don't care which ones but we Little Americans have to dilute the cash power of the big puppeteers. They are gaming the system by supporting weak candidates in the primaries and other dirty tricks. Let your $10 Alexander Hamilton do your talking. Maybe an Andrew Jackson. Maybe a Big Ben if you've got a spare.
    2
  1650. He has a tiger by the tail and daren't let go.
    2
  1651. The Slavic Sully?
    2
  1652. So the delay of American aid lured the Orcs into a desperate "ready, fire, aim" adventure. But let's not do that again, Congress.
    2
  1653. My ancestors helped fight the Neanderthals but some mated.
    2
  1654. Freedom isn't free. Power to the people but they have to get it and then keep it. People are saying democracy will go away in America if we don't agree with them. That's nonsense. Democracy is strong in America.
    2
  1655. AOC and the squad haven't said much about Ukraine. I would like to see both parties step up for protecting a democracy under serious attack by a dictatorship. And this talk about big expenditures on Ukraine needs to end. It's peanuts in the larger scheme of things.
    2
  1656. Jake has a loyal ventilator pedestal, I mean fan base.
    2
  1657. Our sense of the term "deal" has little meaning in Russia and Belarus.
    2
  1658. Politicians dance for those who pay the piper. Don't complain, contribute!
    2
  1659.  @AlexKarasev It would be great if Top Gun graduates would volunteer but it's dangerous.
    2
  1660. Wow! Exciting that Biden discovered "excess defense articles" after only two years of Ukraine taking it on the chin.
    2
  1661. Suchomimus reports fires 4 kilometers from the center of the latest boom boom in the earth, wind, and fire structures.
    2
  1662. The Ukrainians are so articulate and always add a dash of humor. These people are worth saving.
    2
  1663. We Americans who see this invasion like the movie Red Dawn (the good version) can imagine what it must be like to have your freedom taken away, and how determined the Ukrainians are to not let that happen. After the murders and torture were revealed, a lot of us got really angry. We're all over America and we're not going to forget.
    2
  1664. No, don't slack off. That's not how winners operate.
    2
  1665.  @asasas9146  He's a St. Pete troll.
    2
  1666. On the Fourth of July I'm seeing a brave man call out a corporate giant, Unilever. This could lead to them being struck with many plastic bottles, and maybe not so much fun. Unilever may think they can wash their bodies of responsibility, like Pontius Pilate did. Not how it works, Unilever. Please Axe your Russian sales.
    2
  1667. This struck me as odd as well. I don't see 3% or 4% T-bills pulling investment away from the oils. Maybe there's fear of a Windfall Tax?
    2
  1668. The Senate "deal" would allow up to 5,000 migrants a day. "If migrant crossings increase above 5,000 on average per day on a given week, DHS would be required to close the border to migrants crossing illegally not entering at ports of entry." -CNN. That means up to 150,000 a month or 1.8 million a year. That's half the rate now of 300,000 a month. According to World Population Review 1.8 million a year tops the population of these cities. Phoenix Arizona 1,664,896 Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1,504,263 San Antonio Texas 1,493,510 San Diego California 1,370,324 Dallas Texas 1,245,124 Fort Worth Texas 975,351 The House Speaker said the deal is DOA. A half a loaf isn't better than none when one knows the President will have full border control. I would love to believe the concerned republicans but wonder how much AIPAC money they get.
    2
  1669. Ask not what the Kennedy's can do for you, ask what you can do to replace the Kennedy's.
    2
  1670. The low popularity of vacuum cleaners was funny.
    2
  1671. I speak a little dog and will attempt to translate. "You! You were gone and now you're back! Where have you been? What's important is that you're back! You're back! You're back!"
    2
  1672.  @zerodivisionerror  Perhaps some law enforcement while legal protests continue? We know how much Poland has done. Duda was the first brick in the walkway in Kiev, Boris Johnson was second.
    2
  1673. Or make a claymation version.
    2
  1674. Some Russians would do something similar if they knew the deal. Be fair.
    2
  1675. Wow, you must be sad all the time. Politicians are the W word.
    2
  1676.  @kevinbailey3384  The training that started way too late, that training.
    2
  1677. Both are geniuses. How do I know? I just do😃.
    2
  1678. LOL re'coon'naissance I bet that will start to show up on other channels.
    2
  1679. Put 10 economists in a room and you get 11 opinions. If it weren't for the Nobel Prize, Economics as a science would have gone the way of tea leaves and the Ouija Board. Not saying it doesn't make sense to think the economy about but when humans watch and know the prediction, well it's Heisenberg Uncertainty.
    2
  1680. 24:12 Nothing America could give Ukraine to make Pewtin more accommodating? Maybe Russia ends the war if the U.S. withdraws from NATO? These aren't smart ideas.
    2
  1681. My neighbor offered me a pile of dead weeds. He said that he sold some to other neighbors and the price had been going up. When I said, "These are only dead weeds" he said "Yes, of course, but the price is going up!"
    2
  1682. I advise everyone to let this shit get to you. Let it get to you and remember. And remember who stayed silent, who dithered and delayed, or even complained about the "billions" going to Ukraine. You know, the collaborators with evil.
    2
  1683. I like how the mobster cleans the door and then, typical Russian slob, throws the cloth on the ground. Real mobsters would have taken at least an ear to make an example and remind him where to send his military pay, if he ever gets any.
    2
  1684. 24:31 I've been thinking about why the Ukrainian pilots can learn the F-16 so fast. Hypothesis: They're like Top Gun but they don't go to bars and sing Righteous Brothers' songs.
    2
  1685. Hello back from California, USA.
    2
  1686. My mom hesitated to run over a cardboard box in the street. It had a kid inside.
    2
  1687. It's worrisome for them when they committed atrocities and expected impunity. This Slolovyev guy won't be vacationing much.
    2
  1688. I remember hearing Pete Townsend compare hearing Keith Moon for the first time to a bomber taking off.
    2
  1689. Moldova might invite the Ukrainians to take Transnostril if they wised up. Talk about a thorn in one's side.
    2
  1690. I wonder how the world would have reacted had there been more videos from Mariupol? All atrocities are crimes against humanity and cannot be tolerated. It's too bad how so many so-called humans are more like animals.
    2
  1691. Another made the comment but yours is appreciated.
    2
  1692. Quite a few newcomers may have a non-traditional answer. The USA is here to give them jobs and take care of their families.
    2
  1693. You can tell by his posture in the chair alone that he's not right.
    2
  1694. Lex Fridman just posted an interview with Zelensky. Haven't checked it out yet but thought Jake fans would want to know. Oh! Just noticed that you covered it. Fridman is supposedly a genius but seems to hide it well.
    2
  1695. Mexico will be happy to send you new citizens.
    2
  1696. I feel that Putin should be allowed to compete in judo. No other Russians. What could go wrong?
    2
  1697. The world failed in 2014. Why should anything be different? Pussy footers and politicians aren't crime fighters. Hell, half of them are getting money from criminals. Putin seems to know what he can get away with. How would he know that?
    2
  1698. I hear you. But. They've gotten too much credit for their inventiveness and bravery. It's an excuse to not give them the weapons that the American boys get in battle.
    2
  1699. Still can't get over how creative that name is. Hats off to Boeing.
    2
  1700. At those prices, it's sabotage of the enemy. Putin was cheated like a tourist in free speech land.
    2
  1701. The pursuit of cash is not idealism.
    2
  1702. GLSDB is such a clever acronym. Gleezdib?
    2
  1703. 11:08 That guy looks a little light in the loafers, not that there's anything wrong with that, just his thought processes.
    2
  1704. 15:02 "Guy Faulconbridge" may know other exclusive secrets. He or she should be contacted and reveal his or her real name. Come on Reuters, low-cost reporters? You were once in the top 3 wire services. Have some dignity.
    2
  1705. Am they?
    2
  1706. Packaging Ukraine with Israel is kind of weird.
    2
  1707. 19:34 To be fair, we need to accept that there are cultural differences about rape, torture, and murder and seal the Russians into their area to conduct life as they see fit but without interacting with normals.
    2
  1708. Watching this boy I noticed something. I see this again and again among the Ukrainian fighters, the shrug after they talk. "We have to fight, that's it." The Russians lack this shrug. They have cold feet. They are going to be evicted from Ukraine.
    2
  1709. Russia needs a robotic arm because they don't have illegal immigrants to pick their tomatoes.
    2
  1710. "Adequately transparent" is not "fully transparent," a damning admission.
    2
  1711. There is a little piece of God in all of us.
    2
  1712. And in 2014, our Administration ignored the land grab and our promises of "security." Were I Ukraine I would be very cautious about getting played. Can the war be extended until the 2024 election, kind of like Nixon drew out the "peace process" to get a second term? Forgive me, I see all politicians as Gollum loving their "precious" power and importance.
    2
  1713. There are stiff penalties for doing that.
    2
  1714. 22:21 I agree with Jake and would add that returning to Russia's occupied territories in 2023 would say "no harm, no foul, better luck next time" to future Putinists (those who invoke once-upon-a-time territorial claims and take a stab at a neighbor). Much more stabilizing to insist on penalties for crimes. A buffer zone into Russia, possibly slowly returned as reparations are paid, would be justified.
    2
  1715.  @JakeBroe  At what age is it OK to see a song stolen from a band and listen to it free on YouTube? Kind of sends a predatory message, "If you take something, you get to keep it unless somebody says something." Artistic works are for everyone to share, with YouTube getting its piece of the action.
    2
  1716. What's the big difference? Have you heard about Mariupol?
    2
  1717. Hostage situations rarely go well for the hostage takers. Most of my knowledge comes from movies like Dog Day Afternoon and Die Hard but I still could be right.
    2
  1718.  @pacifist9805  Oil didn't rise because of Ukraine. Consumption and OPEC+ sticking to production cuts.
    2
  1719. If it's managed by the likes of LBJ and Nixon, could be endless.
    2
  1720. Another reason mobilization won't work is that they can't say the "U word" so wouldn't know where to go.
    2
  1721. Finland is smart. "As of 2023, Finland has five operating nuclear reactors in two power plants, all located on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Nuclear power provided about 34% of the country's electricity generation in 2020.[1] Finland's nuclear reactors are among the world's most productive, with an average capacity factor of 95% in the 2010s." - Wikipedia In America, our movies and petroleum corporations have made us scared of nuclear power and the spent fuel. The corporations know windmills and solar panels won't substitute for oil and natural gas.
    2
  1722. Need a buffer zone aka DMZ.
    2
  1723. Agreed within reason. These Ukrainians are a cross between Vikings and Cossacks. Planes cost money.
    2
  1724. Jake waves his wand and the support flows in from us, crushing the request! But he's much too decent to succeed in politics.
    2
  1725. That's kind of a long haul.
    2
  1726. Actually, one has to become more vicious than one's enemy. But that doesn't excuse useless, vengeful acts like torturing civilians and POWs. Sherman, Bomber Harris, and LeMay were incredibly vicious when it came to destroying the enemy's ability to wage war to shorten the war.
    2
  1727. Norway had a guy named Quisling who welcomed an invasion. We have a guy named Biden doing the same thing.
    2
  1728. Well, it's a good start. We will need some Russians to pump the oil and gas to be taxed.
    2
  1729. The Wagner Group are giving Nazis a bad name, not an easy task.
    2
  1730. I've been thinking about this. Can we be called "points of invincibility"? Small points, granted. But invincible like nofos.
    2
  1731. That's awesome! $61 billion is not the end or even the beginning of the end, but it is the end of the beginning - with apologies to Winston Churchill. The war in Iraq cost between $2 and $3 trillion depending on who you read.
    2
  1732. Russian patriotic zeal has usually come from a pistol to the back of one's head.
    2
  1733. Not fulsome? That describes Biden's approach to everything but politics. Joe drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to lower gas prices before the 2022 midterms. Of course he wasn't going to sanction Russian tankers.
    2
  1734.  @TheMcEwens419  Comes off as crass and venal. Trump's a shameless money grubber. And he's Episcopalian!
    2
  1735. I wonder if arms designers ever considered berms? Pretty high tech.
    2
  1736. The tail sometimes does wag the dog!
    2
  1737. YouTube has inordinate control over public opinion. The public needs to be aware of the violence Russia has unleashed in Ukraine in order to form an opinion and inform our representative government of our concerns. This is a national security issue. Hiding (or exposing) other kinds of violence going on in our communities and elsewhere shapes a narrative that also controls public debate. I see no evidence of universally enforced standards of what constitutes "violence" and have to conclude it's subjective, and therefore arbitrary or, even worse, biased. Too much power in a few hands.
    2
  1738. I know Canadians have good senses of humor. 47:38 is a zinger from Starsky about MacDonald's.
    2
  1739. We all paid for that monopoly money with our blue screens of death. And people still have to use Word, the apex of civilization's word processing tech. So fast and uncluttered, a dream. Go ahead and convert the text of this comment to Comic Sans.
    2
  1740. That was reported on Reporting from Ukraine, highly recommended. The officers from up north were herded into the main headquarters. Oh dear, those Ukrainians are vicious.🔱
    2
  1741. TVP World gets pretty gory re: combat.
    2
  1742. And it will continue to change with newcomers flowing in.
    2
  1743. I have to start mentioning Jake on other channels. I take it for granted that he is a well known as he deserves.
    2
  1744. Only one of my ancestors died in uniform, in the Civil War. Others were involved in killing the enemy.
    2
  1745. They drank cologne in Afghanistan.
    2
  1746. Review the Lankford/Schumer border and aid bill, negotiated for months and designed to fail.
    2
  1747. Another phrase they use is "abortion on demand" as though it's as whimsical as ordering an ice cream soda. The good news, it's now available in pill form.
    2
  1748. Putin's Folly is indeed a holey war. As many holes as Swiss cheese.
    2
  1749. Every cult believes it is special and trains its believers to expect to be hated by outsiders, mostly because they are inferior and jealous.
    2
  1750. MTG is naïve at best. The southern border is attracting immigrants due to policy, not lack of funding. And American arms and equipment, already paid for, are needed in Ukraine. Neither is a funding issue. Ukraine does need cash, too, to preserve a free country being victimized by a rogue state that spits in the world's face.
    2
  1751. And say yes to open borders and exploitation of cheap labor with no rights.
    2
  1752. 21:40 The 23% who think Biden is doing too much in Ukraine include the 10th dentists who don't recommended sugarless gum for their patients.
    2
  1753.  @jansix4287  I would beg to differ. Depending on the performance of the 300 and 600, they will be in great demand. Can another company duplicate their products? Probably. So not a deep moat.
    2
  1754. He doesn't make the decisions. Jill does.
    2
  1755. Regarding ATACMS, one doesn't need to shoot to get someone off your property. One merely needs to make the intruder understand what might happen if they don't leave. One Neptune system convinced the Orcs to move their navy. Still, I see your excellent reasoning, especially the point that the U.S. is currently doing Putin a big favor that could be withdrawn.
    2
  1756. I delight in Jake's videos! BTW I've been to 8 foreign countries and lived in 8 American states. Does this make my opinion more valuable? No. All opinions should be questioned and supported by evidence and reason.
    2
  1757. I just don't think Jake will be as smart with a different intro graphic. If he doesn't know what day of the war it is, can we trust his words? It may involve listening to his words to test if they're true. C'mon team❤🔱
    2
  1758. "Please don't turn off engine. No offense but we want you guys out of here ASAP. Slava Ukraini, now vamoose!" - the gas station management.
    2
  1759.  @leegrande8226  Monty was bolder with Canadians and Poles.
    2
  1760. Kamala Harris could be an adviser to Ukraine for a fee. And sacrifices could be made to Thor and Loki.
    2
  1761. 109 Bradleys will no doubt turn the tide. Fantastic job by the American military. This effort is like Afghanistan and Iraq rolled into one. A real commitment to victory and a stroke of military genius. A stroke, anyway.
    2
  1762. Gambling is the word. Don't bet the house. Know your limits. Roll the bones!
    2
  1763. Might want to get a Second Amendment if you ever get a chance. America has been trying to exert pressure on the Venezuelan dictators with controls on purchasing oil, first sanctions by Trump in 2017, then a limited sanctions reprieve in January 2023 then reversing that in April 2024 when Maduro didn't keep his word to have free elections.
    2
  1764. Fat cats can afford lawyers. That's bias right there. You said the right word, "monopoly." They broke up the phone company.
    2
  1765. Faceless negotiators are using the impasse for political reasons. The border is wildly unpopular and they don't want a solution before the next election. One republican came right out and said that he didn't want to help Biden by changing the border situation. Crenshaw is a good man and hope he shares the names of those playing politics with Ukrainian lives. And Biden should have given Ukraine more, earlier and done something about the border. He did neither. Now he's over a barrel and his opponents only want to rub his face in his mess.
    2
  1766. 11:06 Solviov's moral outrage about Mercedes-Benz not updating its software is so entitled. Dude, your future cell phone is two tin cans connected by a string.
    2
  1767.  @jonson856  I had the same experience. Everything is provided, from cradle to grave, but social mobility isn't really an option. It's socialism.
    2
  1768. Are you suggesting that the Jake Broe online persona is cooler than the real Jake Broe? I saw his dad and doubt that.
    2
  1769. 13:48 Great photo of dad and that little tow head in the wagon.
    1
  1770. Americans cuss like sailors, mate. It's the government bureau, the FCC, that can fine a broadcaster a million bucks if any uptight freak writes in with a complaint. Listen to our f-ing podcasts which the FCC doesn't control.
    1
  1771. Some people are that dumb and some lead America. It's a sad time when the democrats go with a broken down old politician who lost the window.
    1
  1772. Q: What do you say to a kleptocratic dictator with two black eyes? A: Nothing. He don't listen.
    1
  1773. Exciting real estate plans for Gaza! Eviction notices have been posted. An international project to develop ocean front property that's worthless rubble. Sure it is. Gaza offers a blueprint for what to do with eastern Ukraine.
    1
  1774. Bad news, she hasn't even signed off on the discharge motion, along with some other democrats, who somehow are avoiding the wrath.
    1
  1775. Also both Hitler and Putin are proven sociopaths. They don't care who dies or suffers. It's a pathology.
    1
  1776. The Pentagon could audit prior values assigned to drawn down equipment. But they already did it once and don't want more egg on their faces. Also, the Pentagon gets to replace that value with new replacement weapons.
    1
  1777. Putin is illegitimate, his territorial claims are illegitimate, and his deceptiveness is demonstrable. Making a deal with this slippery fellow is building a castle on sand.
    1
  1778. Aid is calculated as a percentage of GDP. Yes, Estonia has given a very high percentage.
    1

  1788.  @jimroth7927  The concentration of wealth and power seems to be a requirement to build mighty things but it also comes with the negatives. As robber barons go, Musk is relatively mild and sincerely interested in the future of humanity.

LBJ resigned only to be replaced by Nixon, another politician. Winning doesn't look like this.

Sherwood), and Best Original Score (Hugo Friedhofer). Am I saying it's worth a watch? Yes, I am. This war business leaves scars for which we should be prepared.

  1818. I'm sickened by Biden's handlers not anticipating this inevitable showdown over the massive failure to enforce immigration law, the sole responsibility of the Executive branch. States are NOT allowed to enforce federal immigration law. Congress passes laws, including funding bills, but not enforcement policy by the Executive. As long ago as 2019, "More than 60 percent of Mexicans believe migrants are a burden and that they take away jobs and benefits, according to a recent poll. A majority supports deporting them." as reported by NPR.

  1821. No need to apologize. Common knowledge about nuclear power has been shaped by a concerted "information" campaign by monied interests in fossil fuels, including the Brown family of California. Michael Shellenberger's book Apocalypse Never details the ingrained fear of nuclear power and why it's our best hope to transition from fossil fuels, the effects of which also have been exaggerated but are a real problem. Shellenberger has moved on to free speech as his main thing after the Diablo Canyon reactor was saved and he was given access to the Twitter files. There are answers for waste storage as well and some of it is truly nasty and long-lived. Ironically, one can drop waste down a dry oil well and never see it again, but that's not allowed.

  1828. Ditto for me. The oils got crushed for many years, and my account went down 80% but I hung on. Now Congress is talking about a windfall profits tax. How about calling it a dead cat bounce profits tax? I'm still not whole. By the way, oil is not going up because of Putin. Oil was already on the way up because investment and production were all but shut down and then COVID was finally loosening its claws. People may think they deserve cheap oil but addicts can't be choosers and oil runs civilization.

Certainly killed more Russians than the Abrams tank. But he's now a hated villain for what he did to Twitter, opening it back to free speech.

  1838. Today, president Zelensky is meeting president Duda in Poland. Duda, a staunch ally of Ukraine, spent more than two hours talking with his friend Donald Trump on April 18 and has urged NATO members to increase military spending to 3% of GDP. Trump sent an additional 1,000 troops to Poland in 2019 to increase the 5,000 deployed by Obama in 2016 as part of a NATO agreement following the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Poland ordered 32 F-35s in 2019 for $4.6 billion.

  1839. According to a DoD press release, "On March 28, 2022, the Biden-Harris Administration submitted to Congress a proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Budget request of $813.3 billion for national defense, $773.0 billion of which is for the Department of Defense (DoD)." I noticed the latest release mentions $8 billion so far for Ukraine. An entire 10% seems stingy under the circumstances. What else are we defending with the other 90%?

  1841. We Americans did pay for those missiles, starting with the design contract in 1986 then production running until 2007, and are now paying for refurbishments. "In 2007, the U.S. Army terminated the ATACMS program due to cost, ending the ability to replenish stocks. To sustain the remaining inventory, the ATACMS Service Life Extension Program (SLEP) was launched, which refurbishes or replaces propulsion and navigation systems, replaces cluster munition warheads with the unitary blast fragmentation warhead, and adds a proximity fuze option to obtain area effects." But they're now Joe Biden's and he doesn't want to share too many of his 3,000 ATACMS.

  1848. China's remarks are incredibly rational. We know Ukraine is going to cleanse its territory and China could send some money to Ukraine and be on, and I hate this phrase, "the right side of history." More importantly, China needs to keep those peasants working to make my stuff. Their improved standard of living depends on Americans like me. But they should be treated well. China's dropping birth rate suggests that workers should be protected from workplace injuries and valued as persons.

But by then Mike Johnson is Speaker and sits on the bill.

  1877. By all means, America shouldn't offer weapons with effective secret life-saving technology. Because it might be captured and copied. America needs to save those weapons for an important war, hopefully without a hostile enemy that would copy our precious technology. And one should not have sex before marriage. It's too precious.

  1878. Solovyov is quite creepy. Here's this from Wikipedia, "Solovyov was included on the list of personae non gratae after he compared jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny with Adolf Hitler, saying that Hitler was a "very brave man" and "unlike this codpiece Führer [Navalny], he [Hitler] did not get out of army service."[81][82] Alla Gerber, president of the Russian Research and Educational Holocaust Centre, said:[83] He's crazy and dangerous. Such people are unpredictable, they can say, do, hit, humiliate anything they want. It took a very long time to think, for years, probably, in order to come to such a lofty discovery - to compare the oppositionist, a man who is fighting for democracy, with Hitler. You have to be a madman and a very bad person. To call Hitler a brave man - we must boldly call Solovyov a scoundrel. Once, when Solovyov was more or less like a man, he came up to me and said: "Allochka, but you know, I am a Jew". I told him that he is a disgrace to our nation. Now I repeat this: he is not only a disgrace to my nation, he is a disgrace to all our people, to any decent community. I'm just in a fury."

  1879. U.S. politicians are forcing Biden to end his policies for catch and release at the border, which floods America with both cheap laborers and dependents on public services. Rich businessmen apparently have enough cheap workers, for now. Biden is under pressure to change policies now that Ukraine funding is being held hostage. Solve immigration? It's a leaky system still. But America does have immigration laws that Biden has been ignoring. Hey, slave labor in the fields, sweat shops, and in the darkness in America is immoral.

  1908. Based on the definition here of soft power, don't really see evidence that Russia had much to lose. Culture? Nope. Political values? Nope. Positive global engagement?

  1914. Yes, in 2014 the Saudis decided to crush the frackers by opening the taps and then their oil minister died and the policy continued by inertia (or tribute to his memory?). Due to moral approbation and lack of investment, U.S. oil production has been chilled. The Saudis slowed production during COVID and can't open the taps that much faster. Oil companies aren't motivated to produce and can profit and do buybacks with current supplies at current prices. Congress threatening Windfall taxes and ongoing hostility isn't encouraging any company to drill. I do think Congress should pass a Windfall tax on gold jewelry which has gone up way too high in price but the jeweler lobby may block that.

    1
  1925. Subscribed to NFKRZ. I've had a lot of work lately and not able to keep up with all my channels. But will try.
    1
  1926. hromadske is a good channel. They have their own reporters and subtitles if you press CC. I'm a subscriber. Warning, they often cover the civilian consequences and it can get rough to watch. It's not graphic it's just . . . peoples lives ruined.
    1
  1927. So simple. Bumper stickers rule American thinking! It is clever, but Biden is slowly deteriorating and may lose control. He takes credit for what other Americans have done but he can't drive.
    1
  1928.  @1stCallipostle  It's ironic given what else the cat drags in to be President.
    1
  1929. Thanks for your effort. Really cool.
    1
  1930. It never is. And we think we know about politicians' "smoke filled rooms." There are back rooms on the back room. We Little People are watching shows they put on for us.
    1
  1931. Australians face no future invasion by Russia. They indeed know what's right and what's very, very wrong.

  1932. Feed a cold, starve a war? The patients might differ.
    1
  1933. Do pregnant pauses count? The controllers control the President's speech.
    1
  1934. I would add that some guest Vegas showgirls would be totally bitchin. Not telling Jake what to broadcast but he's in a good location.
    1
  1935. The Lankford/Schumer unacceptable border + aid bill wasted months. It was theatre. Let's not do the Russian thing with lying about which party is responsible.
    1
  1936. Your ears must have been burning while Denys was doing a marathon stream yesterday. Very near the end he and his fans talk about thinking you're great.
    1
  1937. 9:02 Yes, insider trading but the big crime is not notifying members of Congress and helping them with their ideological battles. Some people simply need to be silenced for their dangerous, toxic speech. I meant to say the "so-called" members of Congress. They all get rich and its a big mystery.
    1
  1938. Okay, for the 300th day, Zelensky gets to be crazy brave again. But it's enough already. His security team has to take care with their heart health for goodness sake! Happy Solstice, Jake. It's not any darker before dawn but it is colder. Here Comes the Sun by George Harrison is of course a holiday song.
    1
  1939. I trust but verify with other sources. One that I watch claimed there are tunnels supplying ammo into Bakhmut from 10 klicks away. Nobody else reports that.
    1
  1940. Trump wants the Saudis to open the oil taps. Way more important to him than whether Ukraine gets overrun.
    1
  1941. When I hear the Ukrainian anthem, I hear sadness and hope. It brings me to tears.
    1
  1942. 52:00 If we had given them HIMARS, Putin would not have attacked. He was already provoked by something up his deluded ass. I agree with Paul, we should have armed Ukraine in 2014, enough to repel the Little Green Men. But Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry didn't arm Ukraine and that was appeasement. Note: They aren't ashamed! No shame gland!
    1
  1943. Officers don't usually get shot in the head. The grenade offers the anonymity factor.
    1
  1944.  @rdmgwinn  With submarines and deep silos, time of flight is irrelevant for the assured destruction of Russia. Putin has been using proximity as a false metric of NATO capability. He plays to an audience of nodding fools.
    1
  1945. 16:12 Considering a rational desire to keep the government running, removing a lousy $5 billion for Ukraine from a CR is not the biggest compromise with evil in American history. Musk may not be the most evil billionaire. McCarthy previously refused to take out aid to Ukraine. Now he's going to use the democrats to jam a much bigger Ukraine spending bill up the keester of perennial budget downvoter, Rand Paul, who loves TV attention and represents a state of meth head hillbillies who should be voting democrat.
    1
  1946. But no mention of the deals to develop Palestinian land.
    1
  1947. Many new neighbors coming to you from the American southern border. We aren't such a good neighbor.
    1
  1948. The Fitzpatrick aid bill includes a stay in Mexico clause, making it a non-starter for democrats. It's no better than the bill negotiated by the South Dakota Senator that didn't even get out of the Senate. Ukraine aid is being packaged with bills that won't pass.
    1
  1949. Reagan had Alzheimer's so this may be your second vote for dementia.
    1
  1950. Putin hates his own people. He wants to cleanse the disloyal, the drunks, the minorities, hell all of them if they can't win him his prize.
    1
  1951.  @willsofer3679  That's good news. There's another tribe getting clobbered without much Israeli military aid. Couple of tanks? Just let the Ukrainians know that Israel stands with them against Russia?
    1
  1952. 16:44 No offense but looking to increase with my donations the the number of Russian orphans because their filthy Orc dads are dead.
    1
  1953. So you were 7 when the communists left. But your parents knew the deal. My parents did, too, and we read about what the Russians did to you guys in school.
    1
  1954. I would add more onions but that's just me.
    1
  1955. I trust Jill to run the country. She is a doctor. She takes care of Joe and knows military strategy. The Ukrainians are too aggressive.
    1
  1956. Um, Jens Stoltenberg of Norway is NATO Secretary General.
    1
  1957. 22:59 Note the photo of Marlin Brando as The Godfather. People in Russia have a photo of their mob boss. What, Jake, do you have to make us cry every time we watch one of your vlogs? OK, that's fair, you rascal.
    1
  1958. Has Human Rights Watch gone head-to-head with Israel on this topic?
    1
  1959. My hypothesis: Putin is addicted to cruelty and a feeling of power for sexual performance. This is common among rapists according to the literature. Once satisfied by poisonings and perhaps some torture at Russian dungeons, Putin now needs a bigger rush. Even the deaths and suffering of his own troops are of course evidence of his power. According to Denys Davidov, Putin's recent blow to a mosquito with his left hand instead of his dysfunctional right hand, reveals disease. So I conclude Putin is reading the news and using his left hand.

  1960. Usually the TiKTok Chechens are used in the rear to shoot those retreating.

  1961. 11:49 She is part Klingon. Disprove my assertion!
    1
  1962. So good to see Anna! Her spirit and courage inspire many of us. And she is gorgeous and smart!
    1
  1963. Truman could have saved the North Koreans. He got scared because he was a political hack. Sound familiar?
    1
  1964. It feels funny to have public awareness controlled by an "algorithm." Homeland Security should demand and review details of the computer code, just like the FDA demands the contents of food and drugs. Our minds ingest information.
    1
  1965. Still, she's a victim of a botched face transplant. Have you no compassion?
    1
  1966.  @georgek1234  That's right. But Biden chose to dole out the Arsenal of Democracy to manage the war and not "escalate." And he also maintained his border policy, saying "Don't come" but offering zero friction to settlement in the U.S. He got to have his cake and eat it. Now his opponents want to harm him just as Trump's opponents did everything to harm him. It's dirty, ugly, and it's democracy.
    1
  1967. Ditto.
    1
  1968. Rainbow omnipotence is being replaced with the grimy truth that Russians are living in the ruins of a more vigorous time.

  1969. Some are mind rays that make Orcs dumb and scared. They are working.
    1
  1970. Don't bother unless you are a campaign donor.
    1
  1971. Zelensky is teasing Putin with offers he has to turn down. Makes Putin look bad.
    1
  1972. I'm a firm believer in waiting until the next day and buying in bites. I've had my ass handed to me but I did it my way. I had good reasons. Mr. Market is certified.

  1973. Cramer should be rich but he still is working a job. Hmmmm.

  1974. In fairness, YouTube has absolutely no mechanism to block children, so the content has to match.
    1
  1975.  @Mortthemoose  Children can be quite destructive when they are motivated. Worm in the Ruzzian apple?
    1
  1976. Trump turned out to be a tater. Zelenski didn't take the offer he couldn't refuse. Kellogg got dict, too.
    1
  1977. Ukraine should offer a deal to not drone Russian population centers if Trump doesn't get real. It will be Trump's fault for f'ing around deal blah blah instead of defending democracy. Extortion is a two-sided coin, Donster.
    1
  1978.  @Jack96993  No, it's not.
    1
  1979. Republicans are doing the bidding of their voters. Polls show that illegal immigration is not considered OK. Yes, the system is broken and requires fines and jail time for those who take advantage of illegals. But, for now, Joe Biden's ridiculous policies, and those of his head of Homeland Security, can be reversed by the one tool Congress has: the power of the purse.
    1
  1980. Food for the Russians has to be in a sealed container because Russians don't like one another.
    1
  1981. Mike Johnson wants to abort Ukraine. Americans want Ukraine to live. Other than one brief hotel room encounter, Johnson and Trump don't know one another.

  1982. There is no viable competitor. YouTube is like the freeway system, it needs to be managed by a panel of experts.

  1983. 🏆
    1
  1984. Mine would suggest retroactive abortion, assuming it had been invented by now.
    1
  1985.  @lukasnemethy9223  I agree with you. Ukraine is losing more than fighters, it has a civilized infrastructure being demolished. The United States needs to get the job of stopping the destruction done. Just enough weapons to slow or hold the advance is a recipe for a very costly defense for Ukraine.
    1
  1986. Putin genocided the eastern Ukrainians first. Operator Starsky today mentioned that Russians look down on Ukrainians. Not sure I follow the logic of Biden not acting if Trump is elected. It would be all the more urgent.
    1
  1987. UNITED24 has a special fund for boat drones. How would I know this?
    1
  1988. Wow, that mosh pit makes the fraternity hazing in Old School look pretty heteronormative.
    1
  1989. Keep the current state of affairs. Apple is a street walker. YouTube is a street walker. They're all street walkers.
    1
  1990. Unnecessary for Jake fans.
    1
  1991. The Russian Freedom Fighters, with or without Polish friends, should be careful to use "trophy" equipment captured from the Orcs. Donor countries, right or wrong, have requested that their arms be kept off of Russian soil.
    1
  1992. RFK Jr. opposes vaccinations. Real vaccinations like polio and small pox, not just the COVID palliative non-vaccine. But what if there were a vaccination for post Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Ever get the feeling that JFK and Bobby were outliers in the clan built by bootlegger Joe Kennedy?
    1
  1993.  @tarunarya1780  The adoring mob turned angry when Musk bought Twitter, revealed the Twitter files that prove government coercion of social media to censor certain topics, and made Twitter less censoring.
    1
  1994.  @jc441-i3q  Perhaps Musk thought he should "stay in his lane" and not go into the war business? Other captains of industry could have stepped up and participated in attacks. To be fair, we need a list of who didn't do what and when they didn't do it.
    1
  1995. I'm sure Tucker will deliver some really hardball questions about the abductions of Ukrainian children.
    1
  1996. Happy Birthday, Jake! I love the stars peeking through on Old Glory at 23:55. I know that defenders from many, many other countries donated to your 40th. Still, I can't help being proud to be an American.💙💛<---❤🤍💙
    1
  1997. Research may be slowing down the pace of your reports. We appreciate the approach, which differs from the fire, ready, aim of the networks. Remember how they treated the boy being menaced by the American Indian? Is Trump no longer a fascist based on impressions? Can't Kamala still guide our thinking?
    1
  1998. 21:18 One could make the case that Russia wants to cleanse itself of undesirables, including convicts, and get a transfusion of Ukrainians to keep its rotting carcass alive longer. This would be consistent with the abduction of Ukrainian children. The older Ukrainian children may turn out to be partisan-like.
    1
  1999. He wants permission to erase Ukraine. And Jake is right, it will be Bucha all over the country.
    1
  2000.  @pd4689  What was Ukraine wearing? Putin had to rape them?
    1
  2001. Hey, you need some cheap labor. In America we have tons of illegals who work for lousy money, off the books.

  2002. That open border is great for human trafficking, drug trafficking, and stuff we don't even know about yet.
    1
  2003. Oh, you have no idea how clever people in government think they are. They think they can micromanage everything from energy to education and lack shame when they fail.
    1
  2004. War is good business. At $800 billion a year, America is pretty much hooked on war and rumors of war.
    1
  2005. Anyone who owns a filling station or food store on the the Wagners' path will face worse than locusts.
    1
  2006. Not the usual war news on this channel. Also, a Ukrainian airline pilot posts on how it is inside Ukraine. Information not the usual, either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7vG7gUHmBQ

  2007. Much time was wasted by Senator Lankford (R) cooking up an unacceptable "deal" with Schumer.
    1
  2008. Protestants brought Somalis to America. Limited area that voted for weirdo.
    1
  2009. Any referendum that does not count the votes of the Ukrainians in the territory in opposition, as in Ukrainian troops, is illegitimate.

  2013. Putin fleeing to St. Pete did that.

  2015. Putin ignores the constitution. Is that legal? Does he care?

  2016. LOL when Hand Solo loses his 💩!!! Reminds of "I'll do it live! I'll write and we'll do it live. Fn thing."
    1
  2017. YouTube may decide to not show ANY news about war. War is by definition violent. What's good for YouTube's bottom line may not be good for public awareness. That has consequences for national security or cognizance of abuse of military power.
    1
  2018. The Orcs can't sell all their fuel so they dump it on targets. This incident should increase arm shipments from the U.S. to Ukraine but I see pussy footing by the top brass, who are very sensitive with regard to identity and the environment but not so concerned about atrocities. Odd. What's the real reason for the trickle of arms that allows Ukrainians to die?

  2019. Good question. Not seeing a consistent product.

  2023. The abortion rate differs 6 to 1 among different groups.

  2024. Trump will want defense contractors to make a bundle. He did it before. Just a personal note, I lack respect for people who respond to polls.

  2026. Like olives, they are already in the drink.

  2027.  @JakeBroe  The U.N. is out with a report on the systematic torture of POWs and civilians. The stories are horrific and many victims' minds don't heal.
    1
  2028. If Biden cared about the country, he would have stepped down. If he cared about Ukraine, he would have sent more, earlier.
    1
  2029. The majority were in '67 through '69, almost 40K. LBJ thought he could intimidate Ho into pulling out and Nixon let the generals continue that for a while. It took the masterful Henry Kissinger to implement a flimsy cease fire (with no pull out by the North) to win Nixon a second term. That cease fire collapsed under Gerald Ford, Nixon appointee and pardoner. Carter ignored the holocaust in Cambodia while dealing with the Iranian students. Still, America bounced back and funded a massive search for WMDs in Iraq. And look what we have to show for it, well funded jobs for growing families.

  2030. Mike Johnson shares Putin's interest in more births. It's his main thing. Likely horse trading to get what he wants.

  2031. Tucker Carlson recently announced unequivocally that aliens are here. And voting machines don't work, etc. Twitter won't be legally accountable for his cheaty broadcast that violates the terms of his big severance settlement.
    1
  2032. I listened, and he's right. The Putin plan was to roll in to "liberate" the Russian faithful living as his old girlfriend. Those flowers and kisses didn't happen. Now Putin is forcing the issue, like an aggressive date. The gal in his sights knows karate and has many brothers who ran out of back bedrooms, armed. Putin is about to have his mouth replaced with his rectum and vice versa. Which is OK because he's been talking out of his ass for 20 years.

  2036. How can the U.S pressure Germany to supply tanks when massive stockpiles of American Abrams aren't being shared? Politician pussy footing around Putin has me POed.

  2037. To get the volume shipping discount? Or just another glaring failure of Operation Half Fast to ship weapons before the Orcs dug in?

  2038. Delusions of oppression sure are powerful tools for conquest.

  2041. When politicians go back to their constituents, it's not a vacation. It's when they work very hard to get campaign contributions and other presents. And prostitutes have to go to work when it gets dark.
    1
  2042. Why is the Pentagon confirming anything? To make buddies with somebody? Keep your mouths shut, Pentagon personnel. That's not what we're paying you for. We're paying you to defend America and her interests. Admit nothing. Give the enemy nothing but confusion and doubt.
    1
  2043. All countries have imbeciles. America sure does.
    1
  2044. ​ @ground_news  That "news" can now be reasonably sorted by bias proves that journalism, once with standards resembling objectivity, has become "infotainment," catering to audience biases and a genuine taste for "news" that echoes what they believe. Even more disturbing are journalists who have become warriors for one side or the other, willing to repress stories to guide the inferior intellects of their readers to correct thought. Good on you for casting light on this strange evolution of the market.

  2066. I'm especially angry today after seeing the execution video of an unarmed Ukrainian soldier. It's on Anna, STERNENKO (as an especially not funny episode) and others. Here is a list of known pro-Ukrainian YT channels with a new channel at the bottom. Want to see Russian losses analyzed in less than two minutes? Check out Suchomimus Want to see an American's view on why the Russians will lose? Check out Jake Broe Want to see a native Ukrainian lady's daily updates on all things Ukrainian? Check out Anna from Ukraine Want to see daily war maps and events? Check out Denys Davydov Want to laugh? Check out Operator Starsky Want to laugh some more? Check out Artur Rehi Want video stories about Ukrainian people with English subtitles? Check out hromadske Want incredible field video with CC subtitles. Check out TERRA Ops Want to see news from Poland in English? Check out TVP World Want to see news from Germany in English. Check out DW News Want to see news from Ukraine in English? Check out UATV English Want to see a refugee abroad traveling with four cats and a full-sized computer? Check out ‘Dr. Olga’ Want to see the translated intercepted orc calls? Check out ‘Insights from Ukraine and Russia’ Want to see traditional Ukrainian songs on accordion? Check out Ukie Accordions Want to see one of the most popular Ukrainian channels. Fast reading! STERNENKO Want to see a channel I just learned about. Check out Ukraine Matters The smartest guy on YouTube? A Russian expat who knows how Russia went wrong. Vlad Vexler and Vlad Vexler Chat As YouTube has chilled some channels showing Orcs getting blown up try TEW22 Check out Preston Stewart, especially for shorts. UNITED24 has a channel! They also accept money for various priorities, including boat drones and generators. It feels good. NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade is small and needs subscribers.

  2068. I enjoyed the discussion of the loss of the F-16. Ukrainians will want answers. Going after a slow moving drone at low altitude risked a stall. Denys Davidov, YouTuber and Ukrainian pilot, discussed this idea.

  2073. Oddly enough, all of it manufactured by the Executive Branch.

  2074. Heroyam Slava! The Ukrainian F-16 pilot "Moonfish" may have been too aggressive when going after a drone at low altitude. Right afterward, permission was pulled for in-country F-16 maintenance crews. American companies don't like their weapons being defeated for any reason.
    1
  2075. No, Orc fertilizer distributor with settings for smooth or chunky. Messing with a friend of America opens up a Pandora's Box of nightmarish toys. The only possible goal for Putin is to goad us into attacking Russia so he can get his hands on nukes and go out in an historical blaze of glory.

  2078. The true sweetness of illegal labor is not just the low cost, it's a lack of rights and benefits. The emergency room is the family doctor. The schools are free. The company pays a survival wage to illegals, usually through a third party contractor who can fire them at will. A major benefit for the new slave labor is that the 14th Amendment guarantees that any baby born on American soil is an American. Can't blame the migrants for falsely claiming amnesty to join the permanent underclass with no rights. This is not a problem that will be solved with government spending and, as Jake says, neither party wants to solve it.

  2086. From the Pentagon press release. "Senior administration officials said earlier today that these Abrams tanks will be procured through Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative funding. Unlike the presidential drawdown authority, USAI is an authority under which the United States procures capabilities from industry rather than delivering equipment that is drawn down from DOD stocks." That means tanks will not come from existing stocks but via contracts with industry. Contracts mean new money, not money Americans already spent on Abrams. This will make some politicians in some states very happy. I'd love to be able to get excited about Abrams coming in 2024 but this looks like the previous $3 billion to manufacture arms rather than drawdown of weapons already purchased by taxpayers. Just a treat to the military/industrial/political machine for weapons to show up whenever.

  2087. So Biden's handlers have concluded the coffee chats and are warming to the political benefit of sending something useful. But have they told him? What does the U.S. need ATACMS for? Another adventure in the Middle East? Let's keep in mind that in politics the promise is more valuable than the deed. I predict the timing will not adhere to Ukrainian need, but more like the promise of student loan forgiveness.

  2088.  @BTinSF  The immigrants are trading their lack of rights and cheap labor (although they don't pay income taxes), for a future for their children, born in the U.S. with automatic citizenship. Free schools and other benefits, so it's a better life for many. And those automatic citizens, how will they vote in 18 years?

  2129. Senate passed the aid bill. It's the House under the new speaker, made possible by the democrats historically helping a small group of republicans dethrone McCarthy and then digging in their heels and refusing to vote for a moderate republican.

  2133. I read the transcript of Trump's call and I, along with numerous others, didn't hear him pressuring Zelensky to open a criminal investigation of Hunter. One person, Vindman, did. Zelensky himself said he didn't hear that (granted he had reason to want weapons at any cost, but did he open a criminal investigation of Hunter's Burisma gig, no he didn't). Were this a criminal offense, there were many other secret channels to really pressure Zelensky to go after the Hunter's apparent influence peddling. Openly pressuring Zelensky on a phone call with a bunch of people on the line, if that were the intent, would have been quite stupid. Trump is quite capable of doing shady deals; he has dealt with the "unions" that run construction and waste removal in New York. Some want to believe Trump was and is stupid. At least give the devil his due.

  2145. Had Biden armed Ukraine with more than a dribble for two years, he wouldn't be over a barrel. He's not capable of a strong flow because that would "escalate." But secretly, it's something else and that's why Ukraine is almost prostrate.

  2146. If you have money, give to Ukraine. This time won't last.

  2147. 14:30 Now, now, boneheads like easy to remember phrases like "axis of evil." George Dubya is good friends with Michelle Obama, wife of the President who ignored Putin's first bite of Ukraine in 2014. Ever get the feeling that our policy is being run by clever speech writers who are as morally bankrupt as our electeds but know how to coin clever phrases? It's not really about democracy and all that jazz. We need quick, easy to remember bumper sticker concepts to direct our blood and treasure.

  2148. Jill Biden likes being First Lady too much. Does she handle the football? I hope so. Kamala is useless.

  2150. Inflation may be a national security issue but it's also a major election issue. Pentagon may have been talking to Powell but I'll bet incumbents in Congress have been burning up the phone lines. Gerald Ford had the "Whip Inflation Now" campaign. The current desire is Devo's "whip it good." Powell may need to almost break the wings off to pull out of the dive by November. A couple more 163% days? Who knows.

  2156. Exactly right. America had guest worker programs in the 1940s but the employers - Mr. Farmer, Mr. Service Industry, and Karen the Housewife - don't want guest workers. Too expensive, and too many rights. The immigration system is not "broken," it's exactly what both political parties and their donors want and have always wanted. I do think we should keep out the Dutch under any circumstance, they're very high priced and make other workers look like slackers.

  2161. Suchmimus today has photos of the fleet in the Sevastopol harbor. Not much damage there. Interestingly, Walter Reed military hospital is named after the scientist who discovered yellow fever is transmitted by mosquitoes, allowing construction of the Panama Canal.

  2166. 22:21 Clean shaven works for gas masks. But so does the Hitler mustache. In fact, a gas attack was his reason for the trim. I feel that all Russians should follow suit. It will make it easier to recognize one another and photos of the dead much more hilarious.

  2167. Biden has had two years to commit to ending this. Some democracies are golden and some are chopped liver. Sorry Ukraine, you're a political toy.
    1
  2168. 24:12 Just a note, Jake. "Begs the question" means to ask one's debate opponent to accept the conclusion and is a classic fallacy in argument. "Raises the question" is better. My parents corrected me so I correct those I love.❤

  2186. Actually, it would be a fine idea to have bomblets timed to go off every few hours for several days. I'm sure we Americans have thought of this and have manufactured weapons, customized to deprive an area for any desired length of time. The American investment in wicked, wicked arms has been huge. Putin is kind of a dumbass.
    1
  2187. Wasn't Musk's sin that he didn't meddle enough in Europe's largest war? His satellites were assumed to enable the Sevastopol "Pearl Harbor" attack and didn't. He did meddle by providing Starlink defensive and civilian communications but that was OK with everybody. Musk may take a cue from the much less wealthy Soros and start picking favorites in district attorney elections, likely ones that will prosecute crime more vigorously. Bezos is currently facing anti-monopoly action from the Biden administration. Zuckerberg, Musk, and other social media platform owners face potential revision of Section 230 liability protections, which made them vulnerable to previous government "requests" to ban certain information, e.g., alternative views on COVID. It's not always easy being an oligarch.

  2189. Love you, Jake. One small note. 9:45 Congress should take this very seriously not "serious."

You make it more shallow. ❤

  2190. Lankford seems like a trusting, good man. And he's right to say that the "5,000 a day" is only an upper limit. So let's do the math with only 4,500 a day times 365. That's 1.7 million a year. That may be border security compared to 10,000 a day but is it really peace in our time?

  2194. 13:12 Fantastic that Obama's inaction at least offers a counter to the Russian claim that the U.S. cared about Ukrainian dignity and fomented a coup, the leaked conversations of the crafty and ambitious Victoria Nuland notwithstanding. " Nuland told Pyatt that Arseniy Yatsenyuk would be the best candidate to become the next Prime Minister of Ukraine.[22][23] Nuland suggested the United Nations, rather than the European Union, should be involved in a political solution, adding "fuck the EU". The following day, Christiane Wirtz, Deputy Government Spokesperson and Deputy Head of the Press and Information Office of the German Federal Government, stated that German Chancellor Angela Merkel termed Nuland's remark "absolutely unacceptable."[27] The president of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, condemned the remark as "unacceptable"."

  2216. Depends on where the Triple Sevens are located. I've seen videos of more than two shots, but you're right. Ukraine has definitely taken casualties.

  2236. Putin's plans to freeze his territory gains are in HARMS way. When the Orc AA capability crashes and the air is safe, it will be time for a "win more" clean-up with the A-10 Warthog. I'm in favor of killing all the artillerymen to reduce the burden on the war crimes process.
    1
  2237. I feel that Putin WILL serve for the rest of his life.
    1
  2238. CBS needs to fire some people. Retraction is not enough.
    1
  2239. 23:00 Those sweet kids. It's time to speed up liberation of Ukraine.
    1
  2240. Curious how President Harris might handle the Ukraine situation.
    1
  2241. P/E ratio of 27 is not huge for a fan boy stock.
    1
  2242. Biden will be with us as long as he can. Kamala Harris waits in the wings.
    1
  2243. Controlling our borders isn't Nazi. But Trump sold a good idea and then added on the undercoat and extra floor mats. Instead of left and right, would like to hear "decent."
    1
  2244. They didn't need anybody's propaganda to fall in lust with power.
    1
  2245. All territory controlled by the Orcs is tortureland. Kherson proved it.
    1
  2246. It was a memorandum. No binding authority, no teeth. Bill Clinton never should have signed it. Pure theatre. Just like Hillary's plastic reset button with Russia.
    1
  2247. Why has America become reliant on M-1 Abrams tanks if they require a prohibitive amount of maintenance? Oh, designed by Chrysler, a big recipient of DC bailout money "prodded by Chrysler workers and dealers in every congressional district who feared the loss of their livelihoods. The military then bought thousands of Dodge pickup trucks which entered military service as the Commercial Utility Cargo Vehicle M-880 Series (emphasis mine)." The Abrams was introduced in 1980, the same year as the bailout, purely a coincidence.
    1
  2248. Biden could enforce immigration law and immediately remove the campaign issue by restoring the "stay in Mexico" policy for immigrants with claims of asylum from political persecution. But he's using his inaction - on a job reserved to him alone and not a power available to individual states - to make deals. Obviously, republicans (other than guys like Crenshaw, Romney, and McConnell) are conniving politicians who hope he will continue being stubborn about a very unpopular crisis. And they've hoodwinked Biden into thinking they were bargaining in good faith. They've been very naughty and are taking advantage.
    1
  2249. Americans now face a forced choice, aid to Ukraine and Israel or an open border with 300,000 entering to live and work in the country until a hearing years from now. Biden is stubborn and has sole control over amnesty policy so this could be ugly.
    1
  2250. Czechoslovakia got put down by the USSR in 1968 when America was busy "fighting communism" in Vietnam because LBJ was scared of Russia. Truman was scared and let North Korea go. Biden is scared, too. Mob style extortion feeds on fear.
    1
  2251. A kingdom in Moldova might be a future scenario to shut him up. But there are other ways if you know what I mean, and I know you do.
    1
  2252. I repeat this little statistic every chance I get: The Congress perennially votes a budget for Defense at about $700 billion per year. $60 billion for Ukraine (much in equipment already purchased over many years [with valuation determined by whom?]) is hardly a sacrifice. Keep in mind that $3 billion in new weapons purchases, with delivery in years, will go to contractors in various states. Who those contractors are may be decided in smoke-filled rooms.
    1
  2253. Maybe get them out of that place. What are Americans doing in Jordan?
    1
  2254. It's definitely an existential punch in the eye. Putin has a lot to lose. Ukraine is saying, "We're taking off the kid gloves. Escalate this." Partial ICBM blindness is a wake-up call. It's also a message to the Americans, kind of like Golda Meir's bid to get Operation Nickel Grass.
    1
  2255. A very foolish butcher. No deal with Putin is worth the sweat of the handshake.
    1
  2256. If America gives too many of our weapons, we might not be eager to start another pointless war in the Middle East.
    1
  2257. Australia has extremely rigorous immigration laws that are enforced. Imagine allowing up to 5,000 a day (some days only 4,900) to inhabit Australia while their questionable claims were being tried over many years. Imagine an under-the-table cheap labor economy while social services were delivered to the claimants. Do the math at 4,500 a day x 365. Would Australians think that was a good deal?
    1
  2258. Biden said "as long as it takes" when he didn't have the time to commit. And he's President until January as he dodders around like it's a second toddlerhood and a secret coffee klatch runs the country.
    1
  2259. The USA might have decided to stop screwing around and letting civilians die. Sure hope so.
    1
  2260. There is an ethical obligation to capture Russian soldiers in Transnistria for trade. Trophy loot is fair game. The materiel of my enemy is mine if I can liberate it. Completely consistent with norms.
    1
  2261. The Orcs captured one of the frogmen and they are likely now subjecting him to the old heat up the pot of water slowly.
    1
  2262. 22:54 I'm sorry this is just a tad superior-ist. U.S. assessment of the Ukrainian's ability to learn? Buy much into the Ruzzian narrative of Ukrainian inferiority? The high-hatted approach of the American brass while they brag about the bravery of Ukrainian troops, not the adequacy of their own troops to carry out a logistics mission (NO boots on the ground), rubs me the wrong way. Decide to win or step down, chubbies. Flying a desk your entire careers, and climbing the promotion ladder, may not have prepared you for this challenge from the Russians.

  2263. Even the need for the lawsuit reveals that possession has occurred.

  2264.  @xbmcxbmc5680  Jake's a vet. Already has his ducks in a row. He just bought a house. And the money didn't go through him. Can I help you with your retirement planning?
    1
  2265.  @zacharywolter  GOP bad, even though half of them voted for the aid package and one insisted on long-range ATACMS.
    1
  2266. America built the Panama Canal with a novel design using a lake and Walter Reed et al discovered how to combat yellow fever, which beat the French. Trump is like a mosquito, creates disease as he sucks blood.
    1
  2267. I doubt many Tatar tots will donate their lunch money to help the Orcs keep them prisoners.
    1
  2268. Russians want others to go for them.
    1
  2269. It could have happened faster, just like the decision to hit across the border, and others.

  2270. You had help with this? It's so clever! Hahaha.
    1
  2271. 12:42 Typical senile grandpa, who has f ed up so much, Biden hands out candy, one piece at a time. And Zelenski has to pretend as though this is just swell, everything is so swell from grandpa.
    1
  2272. It's how America won the Spanish American War.
    1
  2273. The German dictator was ordering around non-existent armies.
    1
  2274. Apparently they were scolded and stuck the flags in their pockets to keep waving. Of all the shenanigans on the floor, I love that the Ukrainians could see this one.
    1
  2275. Never fear, America launched two wars in Iraq in a jiffy, including ATACMS and Abrams. All it takes is the political will.
    1
  2276. Welcome, Dane. If you want to understand American politics, Jake is a good source. It's much like prostitution in your country.
    1
  2277. Ukraine will take a buffer zone from Russia by negotiation. They will want to reenter the civilized world some day.
    1
  2278. Based on the previous level of military aid, what are the odds?
    1
  2279. Mark Milley's inciteful military intelligence is accurate: It gets muddy in Ukraine in the fall. Since the Russians also won't be able to make progress, this will allow time for Milley to supply the weapons promised by the U.S.

  2281. Well, we have other friends to think about.

  2282. Not seeing much excitement about Kamala Harris, the inevitable inheritor of the office if and when Biden wins. Polls suggest she's not well liked but perhaps there is a ground swell of enthusiasm.

  2285. 28:46 How young president Zelensky looked at the start of the war! That photo is from the famous "We are all here" video on Feb. 25, out on the street in Kyiv, when the world learned that Ukraine was going to fight for its liberty. It's interesting to read some of the comments on that video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj-hBnUzqoc

  2286. The attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure will continue until the people love Putin again.
    1
  2287. 10,000 migrants a day equals 300,000 a month, equals 3.6 million a year. The population of the U.S. is 335,893,238. Adding 1% a year, consisting of people with no housing, few skills, and unable to speak the language, is not republican or democrat. It's chaos. The system is being intentionally broken by the current Executive, overloading the social safety net and lowering wages for the working poor. What party supports that?
    1
  2288. Living under the control of a condo association can be as oppressive as being a Soviet satellite. Self-important idiots are attracted to serve on the board and they just accede to the manager anyway. No more condos for me!
    1
  2289. If the hit rate of Russian ICBMs is less than 50%, could our politicians forgive Russia and not respond depending on whether the missiles hit red or blue states? I think some could because I think politicians are a holes.
    1
  2290. Reporting from Ukraine is back!
    1
  2291. Ukrainians are employing "pioneer justice" when there's no sheriff willing to step up and corral the war criminals. Kellogg who critiqued the hit needs to talk to the guys in the trenches who got gassed.
    1
  2292. Green ink for St. Patrick's Day? He drove the snakes out of Ireland and they went to Russia.
    1
  2293. Putin is committed. America dithers and saves weapons for the Middle East, where we really care. Big hopes for Kamala's advisors who will change everything? Money makes the world go around.
    1
  2294. Prigohose has the same odds of being offed by Putrin for failure and replaced by the second in command with great fanfare for the gullible zombie TV audience. Russians aren't sentimental, and in fact are detached from politics if you listen to Vlad Vexler, a genius YTer.
    1
  2295. Small traders only have to watch the robot traders to begin to outwit them. They put down bets and take them off in unison. Dumb robots.

  2296. Anna From Ukraine just launched a fundraiser! A chance for a couple of awesome patches.
    1
  2297. It happens even to good men who go to war. This is why the invasion should have been nipped in the bud.
    1
  2298. I could tell it was Red Bullsh*t when I read their statement. They need to come out and say they're still selling to Russia.
    1
  2299. Pro-Russian commenters should be so ashamed of themselves and their country.
    1
  2300. So you've forgiven us for the whole WMD hoax? That's big of you.
    1
  2301. If you get a chance check out Artur Rehi's podcast (not his regular videos) and his guest, comedian Daniel Veinbergs. This guy is hilarious and offended most of Artur's audience if they lack a sense of humor. I laughed throughout. He talks about Sweden and Australia creating no comedians and other stuff.

  2302. 14:17 Speaking of "stuffed objects," Ogly Skankbeaver delights in pure destruction. It makes her feel good. As though she's a winner.

  2310. I have a question: Why in the world are the democrats running Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for the president and future president? This seems like a strategic blunder.
    1
  2311. Was it one of the biohazard birds the Ukrainians were reportedly breeding? Tulsi has mentioned this in a while.
    1
  2312. Another Shitskrieg. Hidden behind the border and then unleashed en masse.
    1
  2313. 16:48 Prigozhin, in mob terms, is a "producer." He's kicking up to the capo di capi and gets to shoot down helicopters to object to other lieutenants. I thought he was doomed for the disrespect, obviously overlooking Putin's gangster mentality of money first. Of course, the world is addicted to oil, gold, and diamonds, and willing to play ball with the mob! I was being so naïve.

  2314. The prices are available right on Patreon so I must respectfully disagree. Maybe one pays, maybe one doesn't. I don't kink judge.

  2324. Yup. If anyone tries to stop you from voting, just report it.

  2325.  @andersjjensen  Both Hitler and Putin initially were appointments, not elected.
    1
  2326. "Stalemate" is a technical chess term with zero actual applicability in real life. The "difference" between Zelensky and his brilliant general is one of semantics, to boot, about an English term! They're saying the same thing. If the west wants liberation for Ukraine, we have to get serious about providing combined arms, the kind American boys get. Remember how Henry Kissinger pranced around after his Nobel Prize-winning "peace with honor" in Vietnam, soon overrun by the communists? The old fool is still advising that Ukraine sign a long-term suicide note, um, peace treaty. Harry Truman, a haberdasher turned President, bailed on North Korea, now an open-air prison. Perhaps Biden wants the legacy of Truman and Nixon as the "Half-Fast Friend" of Ukraine.
    1
  2327. Both parties in the Senate passed the aid bill with 22 republicans voting aye.
    1
  2328. Plus the prestige in the history books that Putin reads like Playboy.
    1
  2329. LBJ got away with it.

  2330. This is called a promotion with a pay cut.
    1
  2331. Kellog and Fleitz submitted their silly plan to Trump without conferring with him. Trump has not indicated that he approves of it or has even read it. The two have an interesting history with John Bolton, freakish hawk. "In April 2018, John R. Bolton was appointed National Security Advisor for President Donald Trump. Fleitz had previously served as Bolton's Chief of Staff at the State Department during the Presidency of George W. Bush. Bolton selected Fleitz to serve as his NSC Chief of Staff, replacing Keith Kellogg." -Wikipedia "Bolton negotiated so-called "Article 98" agreements with countries to prohibit them from turning Americans over to the International Criminal Court, which is not recognized by the U.S." "In 2018, Bolton requested that the Pentagon provide the White House with options for military strikes against Iran. According to the New York Times, Bolton "intensified the administration's policy of isolating and pressuring Iran—reflecting an animus against Iran's leaders that dates back to his days as an official in the George W. Bush administration. As a private citizen, he later called for military strikes on Iran, as well as regime change." Trump fired Bolton in 2019. "Politico reported that Tucker Carlson had urged Trump to fire Bolton."

  2333.  @LoociferZ  Lick the head like I taught you, boy. No talking.
    1
  2334. 14:08 Sending 31 of 4,800 Abrams tanks is an embarrassment for America and the Biden handlers. Are they afraid of a Russian "Pearl Harbor" on land? Looking as chicken as Jake's billionaire whipping boy.

  2335. 5:29 Why does Finland deserve a PM so beautiful, well spoken in English, and logical? As an American, I want to see a program to import Fins or find Americans who can match.

  2336. Olena is tops in my book.

  2337. President Biden said, "Whatever it takes." NATO said the same thing. Turkey said Crimea is Ukraine. I predict a lot of dead Orcs.
    1
  2338. Nah, they were doing this when they were making advances. There's something really wrong with them.
    1
  2339. The House democrats had an opportunity to vote in a Speaker that wasn't Mike Johnson. But they had to show off. "Looky how we can keep making history, vote as a block for our guy knowing it will fail, but throw a monkey wrench into the business of the other party and the business of the country." Could have gotten a Speaker who might have brought their bills to the floor. Amateurs.

  2340. Choko freaks are unpredictable.

  2341. Criminal incompetence would normally call for a court martial. But, hey, it's only Ukrainians.

  2342. People who say "Grow up!" as an argument may have polluted drinking water or gene pool (not always easy to tell).

  2343. What about non-political violence? We saw some of that in the "summer of love" 2020. Bail funds let some out for more non-political violence and arson.

  2347. Traditionally it's a "political officer" with a pistol. The commies know how to enforce love of country.
    1
  2348. 21:56 The good news is that these silly old women will lose a lot of weight in North Korea II. So proud, so arrogant, and they're going to be so hungry. Tractor parts don't grow on trees.
    1
  2349. Biden has wired this so that the Pentagon gets reimbursed for its surplus gear. Old time political hack knows to grease the MI complex.
    1
  2350. In English, "fodder" is food for animals like cows, food like dried hay often for winter. We have a phrase "winter fodder." Interestingly, the Orcs get eaten by shrapnel, a German word.
    1
  2351. 11:14 Ukraine had cluster f's but was holding back because they have to be Goody Twoshoes. Politicians in the West want to project onto Ukraine what they would have been if not for the compromises they made getting into office. Old whores are so sentimental.
    1
  2352. Up to 10,000 a day aren't Americans and complicate politics.
    1
  2353. I think you mean DoD, Department of Defense, not Ministry of Defence. This is exactly what was done with Presidential Drawdown Authority. It would be nice if Ukraine got some of the new kit, not hand me downs.

  2354.  @bobbytookalook  Their main source of income is insider trading. They voted against taking away their right to trade stocks based on inside information. The Pelosis have done well for themselves.
    1
  2355. Bill Clinton just shared his regrets that he went along with Ukraine giving up its nuclear weapons. Of course, they did that in exchange for security guarantees that weren't honored. That's something America should regret and be ashamed about. Check the politicians in charge in 2014 when security should have been enforced. John Kerry was Secretary of State, Obama was President, and Ukraine was hung out to dry.
    1
  2356. That's quite an accomplishment given that Jake doesn't post every day. Congrats!
    1
  2357. 22:34 Didn't ask for his boots like in All Quiet on the Western Front so a good visit. I cry for the Ukrainian guys. And the kids buried under rubble. It's just not cool, man, it's just not cool. Love from California 🌴🌴

  2358. That's how our system works. Elections have consequences.

  2359. 5:39 I had heard about this moment but hadn't seen. Zelensky knows the heroes, dead and alive, better than anyone.

  2360. Is that how it works? Maybe she is afraid but her common sense overruled?
    1
  2361. This lack of a commitment to victory has been going on for two years. And suddenly it's not Biden's fault? "No boots, no tanks, no planes but however long it takes."

  2363. What I would like to see is a bunch of "analysts" getting fired for being completely wrong. Guess it does work that way. The American "intelligence community" also failed to predict the dissolution of the Soviet Union. But they still kept their houses in the Virginia suburbs.
    1
  2364. Sending 50 ATACMS wouldn't be a pay day for any military contractor. Military contractors are very grateful to politicians, including those in uniform. Campaign money, jobs after retirement, perks from the wheel-greasing Skunk Works, possibly involving glass tables and latex suits with trap doors? -- we can only be certain about the effects. The military/industrial/political complex is why we have all this surplus in the first place. Demanding a coalition of Europeans and getting them to donate instead of us means they will need to renew stockpiles, possibly with deals like the Boeing/SAAB partnership.
    1
  2365. Turkey got greased, um, basted?
    1
  2366. Politicians fear being criticized. They have the backbone of very sensitive jellyfish with their tentacles out. Their tentacles also gather food for their campaigns and favors.
    1
  2367. Oh, you have no idea how they really make money. There's actually an investment fund that tracks Paul Pelosi's stock buys.

  2368. Ukrainian women today are vastly more beautiful than those vain dames in 1928.

  2369. Turkish ships parked in the port would make it clear to Russia that their "hostage situation" is as insane as that in Blazing Saddles. Shoot the hostage, shoot yourself.
    1
  2370. The Putinists are a cancer causing excruciating pain. It must be cut out quickly. I expect this of the Pentagon which gets a big chunk of my taxes every year. Going through the motions with a drip feed of weapons is cruel.
    1
  2371. Putin could have been pushed back to the border and still would be elected. Trying to impose the logic of democratic elections is a meaningless exercise.
    1
  2372. Frankly, the loss of Leopards and Bradleys sends a message to the penny-pinching or armor-pinching generals that they messed up. Ukraine would have been wise to plan these kinds of losses because this is a real war, not an ice cream shop where Ukraine only gets a taste.
    1
  2373. Like doughnuts, it's better to offer an assortment. Looks as though Joe's handlers are concerned and overthinking, as usual. "We can't trust one another, why should we trust Ukraine? Let's give them the shotgun version instead of the sniper bullet variant."
    1
  2374.  @the_undead  The lack of utility of weapons for America hasn't led to "unrestricted access" to the Ukrainians. They're being withheld like kisses on the first date.
    1
  2375. Biden is very stubborn. He overrode his generals on the pullout from Afghanistan. He advised against the raid that took out Bin Laden. Picked Kamala "Don't Come" Harris as his running mate and didn't drop her for the 2024 race. Unilaterally and without prompting blurted out, "No boots on the ground."

  2376. Perhaps the Russians meant to refer to Putin and used the phrase "dirty bum"? Russian translations were once a source of fun for Americans. ""The vodka is good, but the meat is rotten" is the punchline of a "lost in translation" joke. Essentially, a group of people supposedly wanted to translate English phrases into Russian and then back to English, and one of those phrases was "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." It was fed into a computer and came out in Russian, then fed back into the computer and retranslated into English. But the retranslation came out "the vodka is good, but the meat is rotten."

  2377. Tulsi Gabbard has been awarded about 53 IQ points by the President, kind of like the Medal of Freedom. And her experience in intelligence has been increased to the power of 4. Why doesn't Kamala step in with her outlook?

  2378. Our nation once had disagreement about slavery and now has a disagreement about unchecked immigration. It's too bad that support for Ukraine was dragged into it. Biden could end this by changing his rules on asylum claims being a ticket to enter.

  2382. Historical borders that don't go back to the Neanderthals are cherry picked. Many countries use this sort of argument to justify theft.

  2383. MAD is weakened by technology that could undermine either side's ability to counter. President Jimmy Carter closed down a super-accurate missile program because it might encourage a first strike. Smart guy, but crossed Israel and now persona non grata.

  2384. Jake reveals so many secrets. But they are ignored. For example, that illegal immigration would end with prison terms for the employers. People are coming for work, not asylum.
    1
  2385. 11:08 This is hilarious. Russians have long used insane asylums for their citizens too "crazy" to see the inevitable triumph of Communism over capitalism and the fulfillment of the predictions of Marx for ongoing "progress." This is what Khrushchev meant by "we will bury you" about the West, not about actual burial, strangely at the same time the USSR was aiming ICBMs at our precious rear ends. Ideological failure left Russia with the people control for to next failure. Russians have mastered exquisite tortures for conversion to the belief du jour.

  2389. You'll learn phrases like "Pass the sweet and sour shrimp." - the Ambassador Training Institute SNL sketch, 1975 "To see if you qualify for a career in diplomacy, take this easy test, right now, in the privacy of your own home. Listen closely. You are having dinner with some foreign dignitaries and someone says something anti-American. You: (A) Shoot him and create an international incident. (B) Pretend you did not hear it and ask him to pass the sweet and sour shrimp."

  2393. The Defense budget is mostly a boondoggle and a jobs program. Lots of boots on the ground for what? In case we need to invade Iran? It's for votes in Congress.
    1
  2394. This was the obvious deal with both Iran and North Korea. Putin really resents and despises civilization. I think he tried to be Peter the Great but ended up being a little KGB man. Torture works on one captive, not a nation, fool

  2395. Maybe a couple of Attack'ems and lots of glide bombs? And a spare "glide kit" to strap to Putin so he can become a Mild Weasel.

  2404. Lives of heroes are indeed paramount. Biden and his military "turned off" multiple weapons systems, well, to be fair, never turned them on just like Musk. Agreed, Ukrainian lives were lost and are still being lost. No lives were lost in the failed marine drones attack. Still, it may be a first in history that a private businessman becomes the scapegoat for the failures of a U.S. Commander in Chief to match weapons from courageous Britain and France.

They were protesting republican control of the House like angry children. About as nuanced as kicking over the chess board.

  2421. Putin actually hates the Russian people. He holds them in contempt and is happy to send them, especially ethnic minorities, to their deaths. He sees the world through the eyes of a mobster. The lack of respect from Ukraine has put him on tilt.

  2434. 7:10 It's so hilarious to watch it gradually dawn on these TV people war criminals and enemies of stability in the world that they are going to be prosecuted. About half as smart as they think they are, and two times more self-confident than justified. Tokyo Rose, you may have a future in North Korea. What does North Korea need? You!

  2438. Biden could change his policy of "catch and release" at the border as quickly as he implemented it immediately after taking office. Trump made asylum applicants wait in Mexico. Now they are released with the vain hope that they will later appear for a court appearance. They know they don't qualify for asylum.

  2447. 20:24 Shouldn't these polls be integrated with a short but telling IQ test and sorted accordingly? Yes, our news outlets, think tanks, and others are addicted to polls but I never respond. Most people with lives don't either. They're self-selecting and about as scientific as testing for Salmonella among chickens that run up to be tested.

  2449.  @davidhowse884  Russians are breaking our democracy! Time for the CIA to step in. Oh, they did. Time to get Trump off the ballot! State Attorneys General should decide who goes on the ballot based on their feelings about the insurrection! We have to preserve our democracy by not letting certain people run!

  2450. Jake, I love your attention to economic trends. I bailed on the majority of my oil holdings at the last peak, having missed the peak in early 2022. American drilling companies are like cats jumping on a mouse when prices are above 50 bucks. Did I say cats, more like wildcats. Those roughnecks are going to keep Putin down like the bi*otch he is. Economics no one else talks about for fighting the terorushnits. I think you were a little too hard on Musk. He's insane, but maybe an OK insane.
    1
  2451.  @romanstingler435  Biden missed sending the max. He is being advised by political thinkers, not military thinkers. His usefulness as a puppet is being protected, to the determent of a viable democratic candidate. I ain't going to buy Trump's "mystery box" when it come to Ukraine.

  2452. Maybe American generals don't want the Ukrainians to have them? Very concerned about not hurting Putin's feelings.

  2454. Hey, pledges are pledges. Lots of politicians are making pledges to be carbon neutral in some year long after they're out of office. They lack concrete plans for nuclear power. Germany has gone windmill crazy and still imports electricity from coal-burning Poland.

  2455. Don't grad students from China pretty much steal all the DARPA ideas?

  2459. 14:19 Why should the United States help Russia with cost-cutting measures? Go ahead, channel your resources into nuclear overkill because we've already achieved overkill, you dumb, flat-faced barbarian knuckleheads. Could my analysis be wrong? And why is America treating Russians as though they didn't rape a bunch of innocent children?

  2469.  @KB4QAA  The Germans came through Belgium, circumventing the Maginot Line. Nine weeks? A month and a half. "In World War II, the Battle of France, also known as the Fall of France, was the German invasion of France and the Low Countries, executed 10 May 1940, which ended the Phony War. German armored units pushed through the Ardennes, outflanking the Maginot Line and unhinging the Allied defenders. Paris was occupied and the French government fled to Bordeaux on 14 June. France capitulated on 25 June"

  2470.  @Vinterbukser  No, Patton meant that fixed fortifications don't work and are thus stupid. "When asked about the Siegfried Line, General George S. Patton reportedly said 'Fixed fortifications are monuments to man's stupidity.'" - Wikipedia. Patton was close but stalled by lack of gasoline (given to Montgomery) and so the Germans reinforced Metz. He might have said "Politics is no way to dispense military resources" but didn't (out loud).

  2471.  @JakeBroe  One snag is that the Democrats got the abortion freedom vote thanks to the Supreme Court. Having an unwanted baby is a bigger threat than what happens to a bunch of Auskrainians or whatever they're called.

  2480. $100 billion in a year?! Wow, that's 1/7th of the U.S. defense budget for one year. Kind of a lukewarm reaction to the former Soviet Union attempting to reconstitute itself. Sunk costs on that problem are in the trillions.
    1
  2481. American politicians have said the same thing. They smell blood in the water like sharks do.

  2482. Trump has merely said that he could end the Ukraine war in 24 hours. Conjecture about how Kamala would handle it?

  2484. The Russian people have so much to be ashamed of. Sometimes I wonder if these video messages to Putin are to show their ethnicity and their specialness.

  2492. France and Germany aren't supplying enough arms to be in a position to do a side deal for peace with Putin. America's Blinken does seem to be slow walking arms and had "predicted" a long war.
    1
  2493. I'm still leaning toward a linkage between Russian aggression and mental illness. Putin got a bad case of delusions of grandeur. Now he's stepped in the La Brea tar pits. He will writhe and struggle like a saber tooth. He may be frozen or stuffed, that's not clear.
    1
  2494. I sent him some dough today. He's getting thermals and bore sights.

  2499. 18:39 Perhaps the focus on atrocities in Israel and Putin's fandom can release Abrams tanks for Ukraine? Israel doesn't need them and Ukrainians are already trained on the gigantic shipment of 31 out of 4,800 in storage from the Arsenal of Democracy.

  2500. Aw, hitting that Kerch bridge is like hitting Putin right in the weenie. He thought he could put a chokehold on his neighbor and is getting it in the crotch, again and again. Now get wasted, Putin, push the button in violation of nuclear protocol, and get arrested, you silly old fool. Your time is up.

  2507. Just a reminder that Musk repositioned Starlink and operated it gratis over Ukraine, which has acknowledged it has been critical in their defense. The Pentagon has also withheld tools that would have saved Ukrainian lives. Did Musk, a private citizen, risk poisoning after his bold assistance to Ukraine? Should we expect him to have been the facilitator of a massive attack on Sevastopol when U.S. assets could have performed the same communication with drones but didn't? Another reminder, others have offered to broker a truce with Russia but haven't been as villainized. Not a Musk fan boy, think he's wrong about a frozen front and is a weirdo, but don't think it's fair to ask him to have been more courageous than the Pentagon has been in ending the genocide. Censorship on Twitter that went away? Turns out material other than Russian propaganda was being blocked, including some the target of government coercion, but that's a story one would have had to follow. The concentration of massive wealth and power in a few hands is indeed scary, but it extends well beyond Musk with many other choices for poster boy of abuse of power. The real power to help Ukraine rests in the hands of our President and delighted he has finally seen the light about ATACMS.

  2508. It's not a coincidence that the bum was taken out in Prigozhin's Food Bar #1 which must have incurred a major cleaning expense. Mobster messages can be subtle. Don't complain about not getting shells and don't criticize the Russian army.

  2514. 18:40 This is kind of exciting. A total of 139 Bradleys will undergird the Ukrainian counteroffensive. Had we known the power of the Bradley in Iraq we could have saved so much money on all that other stuff the American boys got, like long range missiles, fighter/bomber jets, and Apache helicopters (actually developed to counter Russia's tank superiority during our Cold War expenditures). I hear from Austin and Milley * that the Ukrainian boys are super brave. This may compensate for the Ukrainian guys going in without what Zelensky asked for. I'm not a praying person so is that part of the plan? * Proven military geniuses who oversaw the Afghanistan withdrawal, possibly failing to override the Supreme Clommandlish

  2515. It's worse than an opportunity cost and a bad investment, it's a priceless publicity campaign to wake up more of the Free World and further unify Ukraine in hatred. You can't buy press like this. And another bad investment, partial mobilization. For every soldier forced into uniform, lost some multiple fleeing their jobs in education, industry, services. Loss of goodwill? Incalculable.

  2538. Destroying grain processing, grain, a magnificent cathedral, and homes in Odessa is calculated to do what? Pressure the allies of Ukraine to pressure Ukraine to surrender territory? Ukraine is not going to surrender territory. Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. But they are at the mercy of our military geniuses who think they can pussyfoot their way through a Russian invasion of a democratic neighbor. A day late, a dollar short, and criminal negligence as Masters of the Arsenal of Democracy.

  2540. The Biden administration is punishing Ukraine for the counterattack in Kursk without consultation and permission. I wish there were evidence that Harris will replace Sullivan.

  2556. A story of two conflicts. The House passed the Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF) for Iraq in October 2002. The vote was 296 to 133. 215 Republicans and 81 Democrats voted for it. 126 Democrats, 6 Republicans, and 1 Independent (Sanders) voted against it. The next day, the Senate had its vote: 77–23. 48 Republicans and 29 Democrats voted YEA. 21 Democrats, 1 Republican (Lincoln Chaffee of Rhode Island), and 1 Independent (Jim Jeffords of Vermont) voted NAY. Fast forward to Feb. 24 when Russia launches a full scale invasion of Ukraine. Joe Biden blurts out "no boots on the ground" and America's massive (and expensive) standing army stays home or at bases around the world. Ever wonder how "American interests" get decided?

  2571. Their constituents have been telling them they want a secure border. Ukraine being overrun is of secondary importance based on polls. But as Jake points out, they don't want any solutions that would save Biden's bacon. No border security and no Ukraine funding because they want the country to go to hell before the election.

  2583. Since when does the American military take its cue from Germany either way? Ukraine is good enough, smart enough and, doggone it, nice enough to get Abrams tanks. If the dudes at Fort Stewart, Georgia can handle Abrams maintenance, Ukrainians can, too. Will it take some time? Then it's time to get started. Leopard maintenance, too. Because dropping off your tank at your friendly Leopard dealer in Spain isn't very convenient now is it?

  2584. I didn't realize that the cluster munitions contained an armor piercing, shaped charge. Perhaps it makes sense to dismantle some shells to get the bomblets. Still, can't America provide these separately? "Off label" cutting into a cluster munition seems kind of inadvisable.

  2600. If you did more research on the democrats, some light might be cast. Democrats didn't come up with the ideas and neither did republicans. It was European philosophers like Locke, Hume, and others. The American founding fathers weren't as uneducated as the latest batch. The EU has only begun to face the challenges to your system. We had a big war about it.

  2601. Elon Musk supplying free satellite connectivity and consoles was pretty supportive of Ukraine in its struggle against the invasion by the Orcs. I thought it was pretty influential as well.

"The son of prominent Florida politician Don Gaetz and grandson of North Dakota politician Jerry Gaetz, Gaetz was raised in Fort Walton Beach, Florida.

  2609. The dems would vote for someone else than Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker? Too late. Their ham-handed stubbornness with 100% for him on multiple candidates for Speaker made their bed. Guess they weren't thinking about the end game and thought they could tantrum indefinitely as a smug, self-certain block as they've done on other legislation.
    1
  2610.  @lorenzcassidy3960  True, supplying F-16s requires time that was squandered, including an American testing program to confirm that a small group of Ukrainians were smart enough to fly them. That preceded more delays. Two years down the old bed pan.

  2614. The Ukrainians are so naïve. They don't know that they can't be free, that they can't beat Ruzzia. And so, they will. I've been called naïve by political types when I was in the business.

  2616. 5:35 Take a close look at the headline and the military aid Biden was urging on Oct. 19, 2023. It was a package deal. And the Senate negotiators proceeded to waste everyone's time with an unworkable bill, designed to give cover re: the border.
    1
  2617. $800 billion U.S. "defense" budget and crumbs to oppose Russia's invasion of a free country. Fantastic that our military industrial complex and the "defense" jobs program benefit from our paltry donations to Ukraine. Maybe the narcissists in Congress will appreciate how it feeds their self interest.

  2619. Cluster munitions are like an airburst but with random distribution. Some soft targets get nailed, others only damaged. Still, this is the same effect with large, carelessly discarded cigarette butts. And Orc Navy Day did get ruined by that drone, well out of range from Ukraine. Disgruntled Orc sailors who smoke a lot and have drones is my theory. I predict officers getting fragged.

It's staying there until victory or somebody puts a rock through my window, in which case I'll get a bigger one.

  2654. Dear Jake, your understanding of things financial is absolutely right on and I predict that, given your reservoirs of knowledge, possibly gained from reading underground during your service as a prairie dog, you will not be able to resist commenting on the financial consequences of geopolitical events. As one who zigged when I might have zagged, it makes you a loser only in terms of money. There are more important things in life and you have them, friends and fans. Hoping the housing market in Vegas crashes like a mofo and justifies buying in at a higher interest rate. You're smart enough to the math. Traditional wisdom is to pay off as little as possible and get the tax benefit from Uncle Sam from interest payments. You can't loose with real estate (I did that just to pull your leg!) - Astro ❤

  2678. Please search on Bill Browder stuns MPs as he exposes Putin’s oil loopholes, Jake. It's right up your alley.

  2679. Never connected the sunk cost fallacy with gambling addiction. Putin is a gambling addict.

  2680. Canada always stands on guard but we yanks we don't take it for granted. Thanks for the invincibility!

  2681. The CIA is busy playing American politics. "The US Intelligence Community asked foreign spy agencies to surveil 26 associates of Donald Trump in the run-up to the 2016 election, which triggered the allegations that the former president’s campaign had been colluding with Russia, according to a report." - NY Post Feb 13, 2024

  2685. I doubted that the Ukrainians would cut open the cluster shells. But you get 88 little bombs out of each one, including a bunch that are armor piercing. I don't mean this to be an invidious comparison, but they remind of the North Vietnamese.

  2686. Biden never talked to his family about their business dealings. But pardoned them. Couldn't pardon himself. Doh! Said he was fit to serve. But these were "gaffes."

  2687. I consider myself a sub defender compared to folks like Denys Davydov and Anna from Ukraine, but I'll take it. Any successful YouTube channel is really a chorus.

  2688. It's the ultimate body double. Putin is hiding in his bunker.

  2689. I watch religiously but so far not on my knees. That could change if Jake slacks.
    1
  2690. The Warthog does appear vulnerable to hits, although it has high survivability. In 2003, "The A-10 also flew 32 missions in which the aircraft dropped propaganda leaflets over Iraq." Those fearless Ukrainian chopper pilots suggest some real Cossacks might give it a go in combat. You're probably right that we shouldn't encourage them go berserker.

  2692. Putin obviously pays Orban in pork rinds and moon pies.

  2693. I have to put in a plug for Suchomimus. Cranking out massive, carefully researched short videos on the war. Today he debunked a video widely purported to be from Kherson when it wasn't. Charming accent. It's Nottinghamshire.

  2694. Pipeline construction history more evidence Putin's crime was premeditated.

  2695. Abrams in 2024. yay.

  2696. Of course, the Russians will redeploy forces outside the Biden permitted zone.
    1
  2697. Obama, Trump, Biden all concerned themselves with the American press. Because Americans don't care about the world, we care about microaggressions and other shiny objects. The press reflects that. MAGA is about our border and Hinkle isn't MAGA.

  2705. Uh, they can get disappeared and have.

  2706. We have to keep in mind, here in America, that our "journalists" all double-majored in political science and only care about political horse races. They see death and atrocities in the context of which party can make points.
    1
  2707. Jake covers the critical "guns and butter" tradeoffs in the Ukraine War. The Soviet Union couldn't afford to spend itself into oblivion and neither can Russia. The Switchblades 300 and 600 are incredibly economical weapons with a big bang for the buck. Stalin was a thug and so is Putin but neither knew how to make Russia prosperous despite its vast natural wealth.
    1
  2708. Not exactly how it works. The radar detects incoming ICBMs to allow time for a reciprocal launch and Mutual Assured Destruction. There is no protection. Putin just lost an eye with existential consequences.

  2711. 10:12 $300 million out of the $800 billion defense bill is less than a 1/1000th. These Representatives have convinced their constituents that withholding a peanut from Ukraine will make their gas cheaper and Slim Jims almost free.

  2715. 7:10 OK so the UK got tanks and trained crews to Ukraine in two months. But be fair, the United States is ALL the way across the Atlantic Ocean. That's miles! So Americans shouldn't feel embarrassed or ashamed of our military leaders. They're doing their best, given their level of ability and skills in anticipating logistical needs. And West Point doesn't offer remedial courses even if they wanted to go back.

  2718. I'm cool with Speaker Johnson's demand for a winning strategy for Ukraine as a condition of funding as long as the same demand is placed on all other government spending. What's the winning strategy for the war on drugs, poverty, illiteracy, teen pregnancy, and government waste? Nothing has worked so far.
    1
  2719. Napoleon took Moscow, didn't want it, and left it burning. Russia lost tens of millions to the Nazis and finally counterattacked as Germany was being bombed, hardly a win. Trump is buttering up Russia.

  2720. I only wish Greene's botched face transplant hadn't affected her mind so profoundly. Code Pink should talk directly with the torturers and say "War bad, us good!" Ogly Skankbeaver reveals Russian state secret of ignoring treaties. Secret to success for all? Being loud and pretending to be outraged.

  2721. Maybe just one Attack 'Ems for the Crimea Bridge? Maybe worth a million dollar missile that the U.S. isn't really using unless we plan to get mad at a country and attack 'em.

  2722. Governments tend to take the lead in corruption. They're just better at it then ordinary people. The Russians are corrupt of course. Smaller scale, though, just like in organized crime.

  2724. Attention ecology-minded folks, hydro power is clean, green, and mean (compared to solar and wind). Just offering another reason for disgust with the Orcs.
    1
  2725. 20:14 I thought the same thing early in the war, that Putin would be satisfied with taking all the land east of the Dnieper River. I'll bet those North Korean shells have been well cared-for, with a team of five polishing each one twice a day.
    1
  2726. Although America owes an apology, not sure who has been running the country. Little evidence that the strategy was concocted by Biden except as a figurehead.

    1
  2728. Solar panels are BS. Our public schools are failing. Stay dehydrated.

  2729. Russians see us as decadent. They were told by the Soviets that sacrifice would bring inevitable progress. So tolerating misery became a virtue, like a hair shirt but for a different faith. The one place they splurge is cheating and bribing one another. Most North Americans would be ashamed (but not many of the wealthiest).
    1
  2730. Zelensky told Trump that he had a choice to develop nukes or join NATO. He chose NATO. Start gathering fissile material, Ukraine. Whoops, I commented too early.
    1
  2731. Knowing what their comrades did in Bucha and elsewhere, Russians are likely to believe their commanders that the Ukrainians will mistreat them.

  2732. I don't know how Jake prevents himself from sobbing when he presents material. I'm not as controlled. Then again, they never would have hired me to man a missile silo.
    1
  2733. Yeah, that's the ticket.
    1
  2734. Based on body count, the U.S. is already being invaded. That may have affected the poll numbers because Americans who want border protections are considered conservative extremists.

  2740. 46:41 I did not know that the Russians have two words for "Russian," one is the ethnicity, the other is citizenship. Paul brought this concept up in the context of the Ottoman Empire which held territories that were well beyond that of the Turks. They were all Turks but not all Turks were created Turks.

  2742. Bush Senior lost because of a conservative third party candidate, Ross Perot, who drained "18.9% of the popular vote, about 19,741,065 votes, but no electoral college votes" - Wikipedia. However, those popular votes affected electoral college votes for Bush. "Clinton was re-elected, receiving 49.2 percent of the popular vote over Republican Bob Dole (40.7 percent of the popular vote) and Reform candidate Ross Perot (8.4 percent of the popular vote)." - Wikipedia. Perot is what we call a "spoiler." "It's the spoiler, uninformed person (a euphemism for the Algo)"

  2744.  @BigSlimein  Boeing got paid. Boeing is a corporation. Let's not get carried away. Did you know that the B-29 cost as much as the Manhattan Project? Look it up. And Curtis LeMay backed up Hiroshima and Nagasaki with major fire bombing afterward. He used B-29s with the new orders to fly low to avoid the wind currents. WWI bombers, don't know very much about them.

  2747. Putin has proven with his long tentacles that it's not wise to displease him. Musk took a big risk in supplying Starlink for free at the crucial moment and for an extended period. I don't know anything about Elon's support for Russian propaganda. Would like to see some quotes on that.
    1
  2748. I agree. Trump sees himself as a brand name. He doesn't like war. He may leave the Ukrainians to twist in the wind like Obama did.

  2749. Elon could have withheld satellite coverage in the early months of the war. He didn't. And now he's evil. Mmkay.

    1
  2768. The prosecution of atrocities was less vigorous in Japan than in Germany. America allowed "researchers" who infected and then dissected Chinese without anesthesia to trade their "data" for freedom. A number of years ago I read a blood curdling account by a "lab" worker that refuses to leave me.

  2769. Johnson also betrayed his own party on the funding bill, the reason MTG filed the motion to remove him. But, unlike the McCarthy vote, she doesn't have a 100% democrat vote to back up her plan for chaos.

  2774. 15:22 We need to be careful about this headline. Blinkin said the Ukrainians have what they need to retake territory taken by force in the last 14 months. That wouldn't include Crimea, taken by referendum, or the eastern Donbass, taken by force, both in 2014. It also comes off as presumptuous. Now get out there with your 109 Bradleys, brave Ukrainians, and storm those trenches.

  2778. How do you get someone to take the offramp early? Show him early on that his operation is absolutely hopeless due to overwhelming power in the hands of the Ukrainians. But American and European "intelligence" thought Putin might be a "nice guy." Please step down "intelligence" officers who were gullible and not smart. You owe it to your country.

  2779. Lukashenko has been working out. His fork arm. Putin loves big, dumb oafs.

  2780. 6:36 Another important point: While the U.S. used depleted uranium shells in Iraq, Ukraine will use them on their own land for which they fight like wolverines to de-occupy. I dislike journalists who throw in the term "controversial" as a phony spice, when the controversy originates with the uninformed, uneducated, and, frankly, the lazy, because we now have Wikipedia. It's not that complicated to find the truth and it's like saying "girls have cooties." Girls don't (usually) and you're not a reporter, you're a carnival barker, "Step right up and see the scary, terrifying depleted uranium!" Ooh, ah, will it make us glow? Only if you're a woman who sweats.

  2786. Politics in America is a knife fight in a phone booth. Jake explained the actual "root causes" of illegal immigration and why it will never be fixed. Politicians on both sides are selling what they don't have, in the case of the democrats the precious freedom a woman has to plan parenthood. Congressional and Executive powers are insufficient to guarantee that precious freedom.
    1
  2787. That would be she "lay" in state. Lie and lay are two different words, like sit and set. She lay in state. The bird laid an egg. Sit down, set the table. Lie and sit are intransitive. Lay and set are transitive, that is, they act on an another object. We Americans are counting on you British guys to keep our language on track! 😃

"Vance invoked of a long list of issues, from German police raids of people suspected of “misogynistic hate speech,” to a Swedish court conviction of a man who burned a Koran, to U.K. “buffer zones” banning even silent prayer near abortion clinics, to most notably, EU Commissioner Thierry Breton’s recent remarks about canceling elections. “We did it in Romania,” Breton said, “and if necessary, we’ll do it in Germany as well.” They don't have a First Amendment "common sense" would say bad people shouldn't be allowed to speak.

  2804.  @dr.killmoretreeratologist8848  It's weird that the Russians want to call Ukraine Russia but also want to loot it. I guess they would loot Russia given the chance.

  2805. Abrams won't show up for years so the UK is Johnny on the spot. The U.S. is buying more of what it already has in the thousands. War is good for business, even when you aren't committed to winning it.
    1
  2806.  @Michael-cm8qk  Not crazy about the "desperate" part. Where immigrants come from influences their ultimate success in America. For example, Japanese tend to do better than Haitians. Some immigrants become part of the permanent underclass, almost as desirable for greedy employers. A topic not covered in Jake's video is that cheap labor undercuts technological innovation and use of machines to do jobs that humans really shouldn't be doing.

Wow, I wish I could go to Vegas and get my money back when a seven doesn't hit (I'm a do on the pass line but then I go to the dark side - tourists don't freak out and all is copacetic).

  2821. Figured the guy with blue eyes wasn't the guy with brown eyes. There are of course many other defiant Ukrainian heroes who didn't happen to get videoed. Still, the video of Oleksandr Matsievsky has become an eternal symbol of why surrender and negotiation was never a viable option.

  2826. What about a combined deal where Russia gets the minerals and the U.S. stops sending weapons and gets 50%? Russian is closer and more likely to invest in mining. Trump doesn't control mining companies, Putin does.

  2827. Just a note on your infographic: The Lame Duck session ends in 2023 not 2022. Time flies when we're having fun. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes. Glory to an America that shares its bounty with a struggling democracy standing up to Russia.

  2828. Russia's survival must not be threatened or Putin will have a rationale to use nukes.

  2829. 21:03 I notice that the Russian word for "business" is "business." Obviously an introduced western technology that never really replaced protection rackets and payoffs.

  2834. 36:46 Yes, the Biden family is absolutely committed to trade corruption reforms for weapons. The Bidens are absolutely fanatic about Ukraine being squeaky clean. Still, I hope that Ukraine secretly bought one of Hunter's paintings.

  2835. It's about the border, mostly.

  2836. Dad's Army is quite funny and a damning comparison for the Russians. Timothy is such a resilient, even crafty character, like a mixed breed feral cat who knows the alleys! Have to agree that whether it's Kerplunk! or Jenga, the collapse of the Special Operation is inevitable. Interesting to hear that the Ukrainians don't consider themselves to be fierce warriors. Along with the rest of the world, the Ukrainians seem to be surprising themselves.

  2850. 15:10 Also the real Putin isn't exhausted from his trip and nighttime car driving in unfamiliar territory that could have been bombed. He needs to take of his shirt and ride his horse into the mountains where he won't bother anybody.

  2861. ​ @mickelodiansurname9578 And if you look at major American losses in Vietnam, it was in '67 when LBJ was trying to salvage his war. Stupid school teacher hick thought he could intimidate Ho Chi Minh. LBJ dropped out of the '68 election and we got Henry Kissinger, a war criminal who bombed Cambodia and Laos with Nixon's approval. Kissinger just joined Pol Pot in hell if there is one.

  2864. Europeans need to get hip to the equinoxes 'n' stuff. It's the tilt of Earth with regard to the Sun. Equinox means equal amount of sunlight and darkness. It means "equal night." As in equal day. March 1 is not anything like equinox and that changes on leap years when Feb. has 29 days. Well, to be fair, spring solstice gets affected, too, by Leap Year.
    1
  2865. I have sent way more money to Ukraine than I ever did to American politicians. OK maybe I'm a bad American but I care more about the Ukrainians than I do about politics. I do hope that politicians see our contributions and "get it." Money is the language they understand. What's right and wrong, not so much. They're politicians or as P. J. O'Rourke noted in the title of his hilarious book, A Parliament of Whores.

  2869. And the Russians building missiles to use as ICBMs. JFK set the Moon as the finish line to win the space race and closed the "missile gap." The Russians have had our warm bodies targeted for decades. And threatened Europe until Reagan realized that we needed conventional arms. Building arms got to be a habit for politicians. Very costly.

  2870. The fair-haired child will be coddled, taking toys from the red-headed stepchild. The U.S. provides free services to one with no cost mentioned. The other begs and is told he's corrupt.

  2871. Kamala Harris stood strong against price gauging. Nobody knows what that means, but she stood strong. The average Harris supporter knows all about trade deficits 'n' stuff like international trade and what have you. Admit it, giving an IQ test to either party isn't going to reveal hidden genius. Trump is excited about a tax on the middle class called tariffs. Knows income tax won't cut the mustard. Pretending Canada is Mexico is like confusing Dudley Doright with Pancho Via.

  2878. Possibly, but keep in mind that the republican "doves" are also "drill baby drill" people who might love to see higher oil prices to blame Biden. Still an interesting point of leverage to threaten to go ape. To get conventional weapons from Nixon and Kissinger, Golda Meir started loading up nukes. She got them under Operation Nickel Grass.

  2881. 20:33 I love the Sea Baby!!! I'm guessing that Ukraine is already working on a Sea Momma and a Sea Daddy, possibly towing a swarm of Sea Puppies that keep going when let off the leash.

  2885. The Soviet "win" included the loss of 27 million military and civilians, 13.7% of their population. Germany, the loser, lost 5.7 million, 5.56% of their population. Source: Wikipedia "World War II casualties" A "Pyrrhic victory" is named after King Pyrrhus of Epirus who reportedly said, "If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined." A Stalinist victory in the Great Patriotic War is nothing to crow about.

  2886. When a country allows in, unvetted, 1% of its population, that's a Black Friday sale.

  2887. One important American rides the fence. Thinks he's clever. Takes a little something for special occasions. Is so self-unaware that he thinks he has 4.5 years left to "serve" the Mexican cartels.
    1
  2888. 18:35 No, not bolder or more organized. More secretive and private in their actions to light fires and put sand in the gears. Every comrade is at risk, don't learn about others or make contact. The Putin thugs will torture their names out of you, including names you make up. The Russians are good at certain things.
    1
  2889. Trump insisted that countries like Germany pay their fair share for NATO as the agreed upon percentage of GDP. Of course, the original phase of Putin's genocide in Ukraine began in 2014. The western alliance achieved something very important: They ignored it, encouraging Putin to take the next bite, a very precarious situation indeed.

  2890. Has Russia had such a leader ever? Peter the Great wanted it to become part of Europe and stop being Russian.

  2891. Not all of the newcomers are patriotic and most commit fraud to enter. But they work for cheap.

  2892. Justifying Putin's invasion by his fear of NATO is like asking a rape victim, "What were you wearing?"
    1
  2893. But did you mischaracterize an expenditure as legal fees? That's a bad one.
    1
  2894. Well, that and observing and enforcing rules based international order. A world of warlords doing as they please is not a good idea.
    1
  2895. But cheap oil would affect the rest of production and trade positively.
    1
  2896. Aren't the Russians violating the Milley Doctrine of abandoning materiel in the invaded country and buying more at home? This could be bad for their defense industry.
    1
  2897.  @rffromusa8319  There was no chat. Russians are failing at the "hearts and minds" game.
    1
  2898. The commitment of 2% GDP to defense is supposed to be sustained, not adopted at the last minute. Looks like some countries have some back payments due. Guess they thought Putin was a pretty cool dude and they would keep buying gas and shutting down nuclear power.

  2899. Russians excel at the blame game and they pull no punches. Many are reassigned to gulags.

    1
  2903. Why would Ukraine accept a Budapest II and believe that the U.S. would enforce what is tantamount to a treaty of surrender? Trump won't speak with Zelensky because he'd get told his surrender plan is unworkable.
    1
  2904. Could be an inside job by disgruntled Russian workers who didn't get paid. "Crimea river, biotch!"
    1
  2905. I find Biden's commitment to Ukrainian victory a weak broth. "As long as it takes" is not the same as "As soon as possible" and drawing down serious numbers of weapons, already paid for. But those Representatives willing to ignore true evil and promote Putin's nuclear blackmail will be featured in future documentaries on the atrocities in Ukraine and they won't be blurred. A separate bill should embarrass these creeps and expose their "sleepwalking" into tolerating an illegal and barbarically cruel war.

  2927. A Kid Hurter 101 (KH101) could have been stopped at its airbase. But Jill Biden and her coffee klatch are scared of "escalation."

  2935. 8:50 F ing R word C words don't seem to instill much loyalty in the meat people. If that's the same GRAD Suchomimus reported on recently, it was pretty far behind the zero line. GRADs are wicked, thus justifying a HIMARS.
    1
  2936. 19:35 Ruzzia went "all in" thinking it could destroy energy infrastructure and grind Ukraine to a halt. This is why there is now a window to destroy the occupiers. It's a shame that American military planners decided to pussy foot around, playing diplomats as though their job was to pressure European allies into ponying up. Uncle Sam could have fixed this, still can fix this, but it requires a non-LBJ approach to war.

You are a collaborator in war crimes. Maybe plastic surgery and a ticket to Argentina? Might improve your mean face but you'll be found.

  2940. Greene is as backward as the Biden crew in their thinking. These token numbers are pure politics to get Europeans to send their tanks, and then possibly need to buy American. Never underestimate the entrenched power of the military/industrial/political complex. It has captured America and has been running us into debt for decades. We don't need 4,800 Abrams tanks or all the Humvees or the other stuff made to grease politicians for the "defense budget." It's a juggernaut and is unstoppable. And all in the name of "democracy."
    1
  2941. I didn't know they called Bay of Pigs the Caribbean Crises, which I thought was a Billy Ocean tune. JFK's generals advised a full-scale invasion and the Russians were prepared to fire nukes. Instead, America abandoned Cuban resisters to be shot and jailed by Castro.

That means the United States can either watch a slugfest go on with atrocious casualties and destruction, or provide enough weapons to actually repel the home invasion. Richard Branson called the current level of aid a "drip feed." If Austin was saying the secret part out loud, and the goal is merely to "bleed" Russia, then the current level of arms support is consistent with that goal, although Ukraine bleeds more than military resources. Secretary Blinken "predicted" a long war. When you hold all the chips, that's more like a self-fulfilling prophecy. I have to ask, would Israel be allowed to bleed this long?

  2986. The May 9 parade was already a bust. So this is a great excuse. If you watch both videos, there is an obvious jump cut immediately before the explosion. Not sure what the deal was. Clearly, a videographer was up late.

  2987. Aren't they.
    1
  2988. I'm curious how much video footage was taken by the Orcs in their 21 torture chambers in Kherson city.

  2989. The Warthog was getting shot down in Iraq and America, being risk-averse, pulled them out of combat. The Ukrainians are more risk-tolerant.

  2990. You got it, brother. Any politician who advises making a deal is a Putinist.

  2991. 29:16 It's kind of exciting that the CIA accomplished something but won't this confirm Russian propaganda that they're fighting the U.S. in Ukraine and always have been?

  2992. Can't trust those local. They smoke and try to shift blame.

  2993. A fair number of foreigner fighters went into Severodonetsk. It didn't hold.

  2994. The naïve belief of some Russians that they have rights under a system resembling justice is almost adorable. They come from a barbarian, lawless culture with a meaningless constitution and a duma of puppets.
    1
  2995.  @Ian-of9oi  This is another wakeup call for the sleeping Russian people. They don't want to think about what their country is doing to Ukraine. There's a great documentary about the gradual effect of WWII on the German people. In the beginning they were unconcerned and having fun.

  2996. What crime against humanity is left for Russia? Medical experiments and organ harvesting?

  2998. "Josep Borrell, the EU's foreign policy chief, proposed in July that the bloc create a fund with up to 5 billion euros a year over four years as part of broader Western security commitments to bolster Ukraine as it fights Russia's invasion." Five billion a year? I'm going to call the newspapers because I tossed a half a hamburger to a homeless person and might do it again next year.
    1
  2999. I had assumed Russian would want to keep up appearances. But Putin is a mobster who wants to demonstrate cruelty to get excited. Apparently his right arm doesn't work well so he has to up the ante.

  3003. Biden could cut the MAGA movement off at the knees with a sensible border policy. Instead he claims he needs new powers and backed the "deal" to let in 5,000 a day. Look around at the small towns in the U.S. That's a small town population of newcomers every week.

  3010. ​ @BTinSF  Yes, the average lifespan of a civilization is a major factor in the Drake Equation, used to estimate intelligent life in the Universe. And you of course refer to the theory of the Dyson Sphere, when a civilization becomes sufficiently mature, it dismantles the planets in its solar system to make habitats in the habitable zone, making the star appear primarily in the infrared (heat). We haven't found any Dyson Spheres yet. The existence of our large Moon makes Earth quite special and its absence would have major negative consequences. There is a book about it. Still, the number of galaxies makes intelligent life inevitable and contemporaneous with us, even if advanced civilizations last only a few hundred years.

  3013. Putin's press conference confirmed that he's just starting. He has a fragile mobster ego and is not going to stop until he's stopped by dint of force.
    1
  3014.  @animegaming4057  In fairness, LBJ thought he could intimidate Ho with body count like he did the intimidation posture in the Senate. Got most of the boys killed in '67. Did kill a lot of North Vietnamese, but lacked the guts to take Hanoi. Because he was a politician. The Gulf of Tonkin was a typical political fraud. Politicians are sleazy and compromise with evil.

  3015. I think it was the tolerance of the Russian military but not complete loyalty and adding to the Wagner force. Coups need the military to work.

  3016. Putin needs to get clearance. The Russian doctrine requires an existential threat.

    1
  3029. I believe Lt. General Hodges suggested American maintenance personnel are needed inside Ukraine. Blurting out "no boots on the ground" early in the conflict was unilateral disarmament. Too late to "walk back" what was "top of mind"?
    1
  3030. 24:20 I only spotted two positions. Amazing. The one in the foreground was excellent. The problem with the filthy Orcs is that they just use area shelling. Not sure this works so well in Bakhmut where snipers have hidey holes and come out when infantry approaches. I read about an entire Orc special forces unit getting wiped out by Ukrainian snipers, not in Bakhmut proper but nearby. The Ukrainian guys take risks that would not be allowed under U.S. doctrine, the reason they should be given A-10s and other gear.
    1
  3031. Didn't General Mark Milley find out what China wants when he checked in on Jan. 6 as part of Insurrection Theatre? I still remember him advising negotiation when Ukraine made advances in Kharkiv and regained Izium as a time to leverage success.

  3046. Lockheed Martin makes HIMARS. LMT off its highs. 18.57 P/E. 2.6% dividend. No idea what percentage of LMT business is HIMARS. What I'd really like to do is short Putin, but he doesn't trade, even on the penny stock exchanges.

  3047. There are many who deserve prosecution more than he.

  3048. USA Today posted today an excellent story, "Fearing Russian capture, US strips sensitive tech from M1 Abrams tanks headed for Ukraine" In January, the Pentagon announced plans to ship 31 Abrams M1A2 tanks, retrofitted to remove technology that might be captured. "In March, the Pentagon announced plans to speed the deployment by supplying a less-sophisticated version of the tank, the M1A1, saying those vehicles could be refurbished more quickly . . . and should be ready for combat in Ukraine by fall." So the Pentagon suddenly went from the M1A2 to the M1A1 because they weren't previously aware of the longer time to refurbishment? That seems . . . uninformed and incompetent. "Sen. Tom Cotton scoffed at the Pentagon's definition of speedy deployment." “I think we could supply them faster than eight or nine months, if there was the political will," Cotton said. Then I realized, the technology being stripped from the Abrams is a trade secret . This is a concern of industry and our military is going along with the delay even though it constrains Ukraine. The article is worth reading to see the comments of Mark Milley.

  3061. 43:20 Since we don't want to be the World Police and Biden doesn't want to lead the coalition of allies (reflected in the level and kinds of resources), can we expect a reduction in our $800 billion a year defense budget?

  3062. As Karl Marx said, "Quantity has a quality all its own." 31 of any kind of tank is a token and an insult to the Ukrainian people. But are they going to complain?

  3067. Good questions. We know this, the U.S. has many assets, including communications satellites, that have been withheld from Ukraine. Maybe Musk decided to be (almost) as cautious?
    1
  3068. 19:39 "It can be a little hard to see this system is OK but not this one." Agreed! I get the feeling that politicians are always looking for some kind of military-industrial-politico advantage for every decision. Because politicians are not there because they're normals.
    1
  3069. 8:15 A premeditated "refresh" of the decaying Russian gene pool. But by poisoning their minds with Russo-philia, will the outcome be any different? Clearly an experiment in nature vs. nurture a la the film Trading Places that must be interrupted by the sane.

  3088. Isn't it usually white Russians who march? The dead are from elsewhere, as Jake pointed out in a previous video. My theory is that they had plenty of soldiers but not that many spectators (payment for "actors" may have been prohibitive). In any case, now they have the perfect excuse.

  3091. If Ukraine falls, many Ukrainians will come to the U.S. and when they and their kids start voting . . . look out politicians. Mike Johnson is subverting the will of the House. He knows the aid will pass if it comes to a vote.

  3154. What consequences have the three non-NPT nuclear powers - Israel, India, and Pakistan - suffered? Not many. So we've already reached the situation in 4:12 since everyone wants nuclear weapons to use for what they're good for, deterrence. Nukes are a no-win but they're also a no-lose.

  3155. "On February 26, 2022 during the battle for Kyiv, Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov asked Elon Musk on Twitter to provide assistance to Ukraine in the form of Starlinks, to replace Internet services destroyed during the war.[1][6][2][7] Starlink responded by activating country-wide service, and the first shipment of terminals arrived on February 28.[8][9][10][11][12] SpaceX had been negotiating with Ukraine for the launch of Starlink a month and a half before the invasion, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell said. According to her, SpaceX was waiting for an official letter with permission.[7] Communications While military and government use of the Starlink has been the most important aspect of opening Ukraine to low-altitude satellite internet services in early 2022, civilians are also heavily using the technology "to keep in touch with the outside world and tell loved ones that they are alive."[13] During the war, Ukrainians can use Starlink terminals without paying the usual monthly subscription fee.[14] By May 2022, 150,000 people were using the system every day" Obviously it was a huge mistake to allow Musk to infiltrate Ukrainian communications and create a dependency. Kind of like oil companies creating a dependency on gasoline.

That's how bio labs everywhere should be inspected, from outside the door. Will save American universities gobs of money.

  3181. The cartels are running an expansionist game on our southern border. And Mexico knows that illegals send money home. It's not an insignificant revenue stream. America is being played at the border with the phony claims of amnesty. Some Americans don't care because they haven't seen what it does to a city like San Bernardino. Poverty, lack of education, crime, and hopelessness. Feel self-righteous for helping the downtrodden and the masses longing to breathe free. Or get real, as we say in California. It's not sustainable, it's not fair, and it's a crisis that Joe Biden could stop with one small change in policy: Those with claims of amnesty wait OUTSIDE the United States. That's fair, that's logical, and it's what the people who elected republicans want. Democracy in action.

  3197. Trying to remember if the Washington Post ran the Saddam "yellowcake" story with unnamed sources. That and the suspicion of WMDs, kept alive by Hans Blix, was a rationale to invade Iraq. If Ukraine wanted to destroy a pipeline, why choose Nordstream when so many other options were available? WP's history with Deepthroat gives them a permanent "trust me, bro" certificate?

  3201. Biden needs a body double in better shape to repeat 2020. And 3 years later he now has a record. Harris has been revealed as a fraud, Gaza has lost Biden younger voters, and polls indicate that his border policy is widely unpopular. His border policy is standing in the way of bipartisan funding to Ukraine. 23:41 Shows the republican support for lend-lease which Biden allowed to sunset before maxing out weapons to Ukraine. Biden and his vulture-like sidekick should step down and make way for a democrat who can actually challenge Trump.

  3211. The democrats voted as a 100% block for Hakeem Jeffries knowing he wouldn't win but blocking republicans more moderate than Johnson. Then the democrats voted as a block against basic legislative bills in spite. This is a "both sides" situation.

  3215. Reagan is spinning in his grave about missing the deal of the century. Dump old gear without having to send boots? A no brainer.

  3238. We can expect the classified plan to be leaked any day. Swapping intel with the press and others is how one advances in Washington.

  3239. The American news thrives on tragedy so they report miniscule Orc advances as "coming closer to Putin's goal." American reporters are obsessed with every minute detail of politics and political contests, even those years away. Have yet to see one perform a calculation such as the number of Orc casualties per square kilometer of ground taken.

But nice camera two-shot to show off his big gomer shoes.

All candidates for voter-nominated offices are listed on one ballot and only the top two vote-getters in the primary election – regardless of party preference - move on to the general election. The only "partisan offices" now are the offices of U.S. President and county central committee."

Oh, Israel uses cluster munitions, big time. "According to the United Nations Mine Action Service, Israel dropped up to four million submunitions on Lebanese soil, of which one million remain unexploded." Importantly, can we make the case that those wars were needed to counter an existential threat to the nations that used them?

  3296. The U.S. has bungled the response since day one. Has "walked back" most policies because political hacks were in charge.

  3297. 15:11 There was no agreement required according to Israeli officials. The U.S. was paying to have our ammunition stored in Israel. At what cost was not revealed in the article. Israel is still neutral.

  3299. It's the reason I decided to vote for Trump! Just kidding, I am forced to vote for the high-functioning special needs candidate. She can act like a person with a brain and that's pretty close. Trump would dump Ukraine in Europe's lap.

  3307. Congress is voting on $1.7 trillion. $45 billion is 2.6% of that. The other 97.4% is something of a mystery. Couldn't money for Ukraine come out of the $858 billion defense budget, already passed? Tucker "the Tool" Carlson later had on Bride of Frankenstein, Tulsi Gabbard. She's dropped the Ukrainian biolabs narrative. But both were talking about how Zelensky banned a Christian (Russian Orthodox) church, while neglecting to mention it happened to be a nest of Russian spies and saboteurs. They seem to think their viewers are uninformed and I'm afraid they're right.

  3333. Allowing in 10,000 migrants a day under fraudulent claims of amnesty is a humiliating failure to enforce our laws. Both parties recognize it. Money to fund the border to process the false claims faster is the opposite of a solution. Our immigration laws, passed by the peoples' Representatives, are being circumvented based on bald-faced lies of fleeing persecution, a claim only legitimate for a few. Unfortunately, Congress can control the cataclysmic failure of the Executive Branch to enforce our laws only by the power of the purse. Unrelated to foreign military aid? Of course. But Congress negotiates horses of different colors all the time.
    1
  3334. And that's not stalemate. It's not rushing the center of the board with your queen, hoping for a small, temporary advantage. Zelensky and his brilliant general are of the same mind, while hack western journalists try to make hay out of the use of the term "stalemate" versus "stuck in front of massive mine fields."

  3345. COVID-wary Putin would never shake hands with random "separatists." The real Putin only shakes hands all by himself in his bunker. Get it, shakes hands by himself. Because he's diseased, drugged, and scared. Did he get to pick any new children to steal?

  3349. The "psychological density" of the performance seemed fine. Over here in America we are suffering a psychological paucity. Jill Biden and/or Jake Sullivan don't want Ukraine to hit Russian airbases. They are super smart and super scared. What if they have to step down?

  3370. Unenforced sanctions are like wetting the bed. It feels good at the time. Time to get real or ?? Yup, tariffs are taxes and they take more from the middle class, long the cash cow for income taxes. Trump is milking the middle class with a narrative of vengeance for being cheated and crime.
    1
  3371. I would like to know 1) why the Ukrainians weren't aware, 2) why they didn't check or run a test beforehand, and 3) what other communication assets may have been requested, say U.S. military assets, but were denied? Convenient scapegoats imply responsibility elsewhere.

Pretty much, yeah. Burning Washington, DC in 1812 was an admission of defeat, like the missile attacks on power stations in Ukraine. Any a hole can start a fire or launch a missile.

  3403. The Russians are trapped by Putin's war policy; the Americans are trapped by Biden's immigration policy. Fortunately we have balance of powers. Still, by law, Congress lacks authority for immigration law enforcement or amnesty policy, but they have the power of the purse. Now, sadly, aid to Ukraine and Israel are bargaining chips for correcting the President's failed law enforcement.

  3410. Traffic in California is indeed the pits. The freeway system was planned for traffic in the 1960's and urban sprawl was allowed to close in on the arteries.

    1
  3434. The demand for "a clear strategy" for Ukraine to win before providing aid is like asking a rape victim how it will all end before stepping in. Talking about a promise from Putin to stop invading is like releasing a serial killer in exchange for him swearing that he'll stop. These are bogus positions.
    1
  3435.  @danijaldblr3388  Putin's own bureaucracy may keep his hands off the pickle button. You're right about doctrine. Still, there's no reason to limit the range of HIMARS when Ukraine knows the deal. Just because they can hit Russian soil doesn't mean they want to. Everyone should be looking to give Putin an "off ramp," like piles of dead Orcs until they get off of Ukrainian soil.

  3437. 0:57 You got such a laugh out of me when you said, "And it's gone. All gone." Starsky ain't got nothin' on you today. 😃 Johnson wants to block poor women - six times more likely to get an abortion - from having unwanted children who also will be poor. He's religious, smug, and dumb. Photos got to me. Warning: When your heart goes out to Ukraine and the volunteers, it is not coming back.

  3445. An excellent summary BUT you didn't mention the significant energy that crypto "mining" consumes. I read an article about crypto mining set up to use otherwise wasted methane gas at a remote site. OK cool, I guess, if it's flared in a new way instead of being released (methane is a bad, but temporary greenhouse gas). But converting energy into tulip bulbs? And there are stats I'm too lazy to look up about the energy cost of crypto, which I saw somewhere. I'm fairly smart but incredibly lazy! Love your channel. My interests are Ukraine, investments, growing avocados and tomatoes, cat psychology (but with the caveat that no cat is alike and therefore a general study in mostly useless), and the psychology of "rogue" politicians, very difficult to define since they're all abnormal.
