  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

  2. No one can disprove the existence of my imaginary friend, Raymond, so he's real. Raymond likes pie so I ask for an extra slice.

  3. It nauseates me how engineering illiterate politicians sell unworkable ideas. This goes back awhile but George Dubya Bush, Jr. touted the "hydrogen economy" in one of his State of the Union speeches. The idea went away in a matter of months but the memory that it happened shouldn't go away.

  4. Ni would be nickel, apparently worth more than this paper.

  5. What a fine curator you are, Jake. You really keep up on developments and share them with us in a digested form. Much appreciated! ❤

  6. Childless smart and energetic people are being distracted by video games and ideal mates presented on the Internet. Also young people don't talk on the phone or engage very long in a real-world conversation before they look at their phone. If and when a child comes, it must compete with the phone for attention. Of course this competition reverses itself when the child gets a phone and ignores the parent. You have to admit there is much more going on in a phone than in a conversation with a local or a lovely meadow.

  7. Professor Gerdes proves that Palyanytsia is unpronounceable! I kid because I love!♥

  8. 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
  9. I enjoy hearing interview snippets repeated. Ben Hodges concentrates multiple points in each brief statement.
    29
  10. A very trenchant analysis. The Russians don't even like one another. In fairness, they aren't that adorable.
    23
  11. Snipers at night, Ukrainian delight.
    22
  12. They already had a tank parade in Vuhledar. It got rained on.

  13. The comments on the donor wall are remarkably troll free! Pretty cool to see all the countries and all the generous people.

  14. 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!

  15. South Korea has a history of presidents who engaged in scandals. Should they make insider trading legal for politicians as we have in the U.S.?
    15
  16.  @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! 😃

  17. Ukraine's leaders take initiative. Ours talk about them.
    12
  18. Devising theories that can't be disproven ensures longevity and enduring fame.
    12
  19. Ben Hodges is appearing on a number of channels, attracting devoted fans who can't get enough of his well reasoned statements about Ukraine. May I suggest a search to find all the channels?
    12
  20. Delighted to see you participating in fundraising! It's an opportunity to donate directly to protecting freedom.
    11
  21. The good feeling pays back my donations instantly. Thank you, Jake, for vetting these opportunities.
    11
  22.  @ground_news  Thank you for your support! Great idea to note how news outlets lean.
    11
  23. Thanks for the link to Witch. Glory to her and all the other heroes!
    11
  24. 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
  25. Look at that little gal wave at 21:51. She could be an American kid. Just a regular kid.

  26. Smooth transition to the advertisement! You're the best RFA!

  27. Evolution is a cruel system in which only those with an infinitesimal advantage survive. Lots of dying or failing to reproduce involved. The random genetic defect premiers the next model, which of course dies but not as much, but emerges as the winner. So much suffering and dying. I would love to be able to believe in the creation story.

  28. Wow, I want to be a defender, that's for sure, that's for dang sure.

  29. Donated. Thanks for the opportunity.

  30. Jake, your level of research is worthy of a PhD (about every three months).
    7
  31. Pin it, brother! Your awesomeness only grows.
    7
  32. Just got off of Anna's livestream. Expect some viewers tuning in.👍
    7
  33. Just donated via PayPal. I trust you. I got so many laughs from the stream and the chat comments about Hoof Hearted. I am with you.

  34. Home is where you hang your hat. And a very special hat indeed and two very special people.

  35. Recent subscriber. I watch a lot of channels so I may be late.

  36. Shtring theory is schtick. Who trades the family cow for entangled magic beans? The government, hoping that Jack can steal the singing harp.
    6
  37. Absolutely fantastic presentation! You keep spoiling us, Earthman. Hakuna if you got 'em.
    6
  38. Your persistence and work ethic on behalf of the Ukrainians (and us) has been noted. A+
    6
  39. Thank you for reports from the field, not to say reports from studio are not appreciated. The guys are living in a universe that civilians can't understand. But I try. 🔱

  40. Kudos to Surfshark for the sponsorship. May your enterprise prosper!

  41. 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.

  42. Thanks!

  43. Wouldn't string theorists be more comfortable if empiricism were dead? Seems quite embarrassing.
    5
  44. Being American, this sort of interview is very interesting. I was a freelance writer and relate to this cat living by his wits. It takes courage and confidence in one's ability to work hard.
    5
  45. 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
  46. Jake, after seeing all these smart, spirited, and gorgeous Ukrainian girls, how will you ever settle for an American? I love you buddy.
    4
  47. 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.

  48. 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
  49. 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.

  50. A crazy good number! 💙💛

  51.  @anderseriksen2282  I join channels and know that YouTube takes a big cut. They are not in the business of defending democracy, liberty, free speech. They are in business.

  52. We have a Congress, the American people support Ukraine, and have expectations of our President. The election is over and the President serves all of us and the Free World.

  53. 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.

  54. UNITED24 you rock!

  55. Thanks! Brainy content is fun!

  56. 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!

  57. A little too much CNN glee about our flailing, failing, mentally unstable President.

  58. Bakhmut is the cheese in the trap. Ukrainians are smart, fight for their land, women, and children. Orcs fight from fear of being shot.

  59. Don't bring a tank to a Switchblade fight!

  60. I have to disagree. Russia is not teetering. It is tottering.
    3
  61. Yeah, good Ukrainians speak Russian. This thing is not about lingo, that's so last century 3rd R.

  62. 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!

  63. Today is the birthday of Suchomimus, a YouTuber who posts a lot of content on Russian gear getting blown up and where on the map it happened. He has a rabbit and a wild British (Nottingham) accent, including slang. He features fundraisers constantly.

  64. I'm wondering if dark matter forms black holes. Does gravity work differently in dark matter world? Does dark matter bend light and make a lens? I promise I will try to remember.

  65. Thanks for your massive effort and output, and commitment to civil debate. Americans need to get beyond sports teams thinking.

  66. Dugin not his daughter was the target. They switched cars at the last minute.
    2
  67. Maybe we can buy and flip Greenland then buy Kalingrad?😃
    2
  68. 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.

  69. The Pentagon is running a big butterfly program. It's expensive but what the hay. It's only borrowed money.

  70.  @telopa1  I enjoy the summary that repeats the story briefly and also enjoy how RFU often summarizes previous reports as background for the current one.
    2
  71. Don't be superstitious about the puzzle. It is not in the interest of the United States to let the barbarians break international laws and take over Ukraine.
    2
  72. I've been thinking about this. Can we be called "points of invincibility"? Small points, granted. But invincible like nofos.
    2
  73. 26:41 I liked this part, "Let's go to war with the world because we're better." Oops, this may disappear because YT will claim I'm spamming. How could any normal person watch a hour video and not have multiple responses? But I wait for other comments to reply to.
    2
  74. I like the images. I have spent my life as an American trying to master English. Scrapping, plagiarizing, and averaging will still have AI saying "loosing" instead of "losing." But in the meantime it will act as a crutch for people who really should learn how to write.

  75. Given Trump's rationale for why Putin will honor a cease fire -- his personal relationship and respect for Trump -- it has a max freshness date of four years.

  76. Russians buying land in Finland? Don't they usually just steal it?

  77. Enjoyed the convo with Jake. You know your stuff.

  78. Love you, Jake. One small note. 9:45 Congress should take this very seriously not "serious." Seriously is an adverb, serious is an adjective. “You know, everybody's ignorant, just on different subjects.” ― Will Rogers. The depth of my ignorance is that of the Marianas Trench. You make it more shallow. ❤

  79. Thanks!

  80. My theory is that Trump wants Putin to abandon Iran. Willing to give concessions in Ukraine.

  81. Keep on rockin' in the Free World!

  82. Thank you, buddy.

  83. In fairness, America is messianic but with a belief in truth, justice, and individual freedom. Russia is the perpetual victim of its "system" which relies on kick backs to get a job, loyalty to the crime family, territories distributed to capos, and cruel enforcement against disloyalty and disruption. Corruption is accepted as how the system works and has to work. Professor Gerdes recently posted how corruption among the breakaway satellites remains strongest the closer they are to mother Russia. One man's corruption is another man's stability. There is no denying that Russia does "work" after a fashion. So does organized crime.

  84. The thing that makes me wonder about multiverses is the length of time between each decision that splits this Universe into another one. OK if I make toast in this Universe, I don't make toast in another one. But what about changes that take an infinitesimal amount of time?

  85. The Ukrainians pronounce Las Vegas correctly as "Lost Wages." Much love from California!🌴

  86. The Russian system is clearly a mirror image of mob life. Bribes to get and keep jobs. Patrons who expect favors. Italy started it. Well, not really. It's older than that.

  87. Converting a gift of aid into a debt after the fact, and inflating the cost to $350 billion is treachery and quite rude. Telling a nation under siege that it doesn't have the "cards" to deserve an opinion is rude. Having secret phone calls with their tormentor and rushing a cease fire without enforcement (which suggests that Trump will get something from Putin for empty "peace" theatrics) is underhanded. Demanding gratitude for the mob boss even explaining the dirty deal is the cherry on top. Trump just abdicated his position as a leader of the Free World. He's a money grubbing false friend.

  88. The Socratic method, devised so long ago, is to hear as many arguments as possible in the search for truth. NOT consensus, truth. If a person can't admit he was wrong and change his opinion, he isn't really interested in the truth.

  89. I just realized what you do, Professor. Reader's Digest! My Mom had a subscription. Many long stories curated and abbreviated to inform in less time.

  90. "Indigenous nuclear weapons," of course. And indigenous conventional arms now that Biden and Trump both revealed the White House "kill switch" to control how customers get to use their weapons purchases.

  91. I think I have a repeating donation to Car4Ukraine but I'm old and get confused. I will continue to donate because I trust YouTuber advocates. I have patches showing up and I forger why. Live is so hard for me. Waah!

  92. Please buy a third of a coffee, Professor. So much content for free! I pay it backward.

  93. Russia wants to terrify Ukraine to the bargaining table. I note that Trump talks about the deaths that he wants to stop. He's willing to accept slavery to save lives. The Ukrainians aren't.

  94. I typically start by checking in on Suchomimus but Professor Gerdes's Daily Brief is next.
