  4. ย @SrCoxasย  We've never felt threatened by ANYONE. Fought Germany ALONE from 1939-41. Until USA came and helped. No doubt in my mind; that had they not. Then eventually, we'd have been speaking German. We defeated Germany in the Battle of Britain (RAF) of course, decimating the Luftwaffe. Plus the Royal Navy, inflicting massive, substantial wounds; to the Nazi navy. However I think eventually, Hitler would have invaded successfully. He made a mistake invading USSR. Weather beat him btw, don't listen to the USSR nonsense. They had little technology and bombers won the war; as Britain and USA did it 24/7, taking it in turns day and night. It was the first modern war and so UK and USA; softened up by destroying infrastructure. So the Soviets, who had a terrible airforce, had an easier entry to Berlin; from the East. I was in the Royal Navy ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and in 1982; sailed ten thousand miles to take back the Falklands, from the fascist dictator General Galtieri. USSR laughed at us, supporting Galtieri ironically (paradoxically) as they were communists. Seven weeks later, Argentina were defeated. Then USSR crapped themselves. Thatcher was feared. After all, USSR were still entranched in Afghanistan. LOSING! I was a British English language consultant, in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three. I left on 31st March 2021, because of Putin even then; playing about on the borders. So my friends, particularly in Odessa, told me about this USSR paranoid attitude to us ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ It was discussed in great detail, all over the media; and in schools colleges etc. Reagan wanted to flatten Russia; and at the time I disagreed. (Gorbachev after all, made friends etc.) Now, I think if Reagan had, we'd have got rid of these troublesome nuisances. I live in Alanya region in Turkey now, after I left Odessa Ukraine. Some of my friends in Kyiv and Odessa, have died because of Vladolf Putin. Alanya gets around 324 sunny days a year. It's a beautiful Med Sea climate. I'm from Kensington and Chelsea in London, originally. I'll be watching London and indeed Britain; this weekend coming. As Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, celebrates 70 years on the throne. The whole of Great Britain gets four days off I think. It'll be 33c here ๐ŸŒž in Alanya; as it has been for weeks. Somehow I don't think it will be anywhere near that. In UK. God bless ๐Ÿค— Queen Elizabeth.

  25. I see lots of comments here, mainly from Americans. So I'm going to slightly disagree, with the comments against Russia. I used to be, a British English language consultant, in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three. I left on 31/3/21 because of Putin even then; playing about on the borders. I now live in Alanya region, of the beautiful Med Sea climate. So I have experience, of living in two countries, who were involved in that deal. Plus I was in St Petersburg Russia many years ago; but I only worked there three months on an exchange deal. So it's not long enough, to form an opinion, just a view. Only ten or so days ago. Prez Zelynski removed his TOP security official and Attorney General. Their crime? Corruption. Possibly selling info to the Kremlin. Only three days before that, the Attorney General had been in the Hague. Lecturing about corruption. Putin got his way because he knows what makes Ukrainians tick.... MONEY. The day of the signing, I said to my friend, someone will break this within a week. There are a number of factors, to suggest it could have been anybody. Firstly, it was broken just a few hours after the signing. Secondly the MP in Odessa, asked for more arms to sink the Russian navy. Thirdly, the powers of USA, EU and UK, didn't like it, that they were not included in this signing. Well too bad....you should have asked. Lastly, the BBC TV news, who I trust the most, for its overall impartiality (generally). Reported, there had been no visual proof, that two Russian missiles, had been shot down. Plus the remnants of others hadn't been shown either. I watched the explosion filmed by a local person and uploaded on another channel. The "strike" appears to be an incendiary device. Looks something similar, to what I saw, when I served in the Royal Navy ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง in the Falklands War. So I've given you a different viewpoint. Someone wanted to wreck that deal. It was so quickly also. So these are the choices we need to look at: SUB...(Ukraine) CIA MI6 Mossad FSB. Take your pick. Out of those, the only ones to gain the most, is the first one. Ukraine have got what they wanted. More arms. Don't give them nukes. History shows they were made to give them up. You have to ask why. I've travelled to 32 countries in my life. Ukraine is the most corrupt. (I've just explained about the security chief; and the attorney general) It's a badge of honour amongst them, to even pull a fast one; on friends or family members

  33. rashist orcs finally seen to be useless soldiers. Both in Command and personnel. They still fight WW2 tactics. Plenty of cannon fodder. A la Stalingrad, where officers shot military and ordinary people in the water. Subhuman indeed. Talking of which they didn't win WW2 either. May 8 not May 9 and Germany surrendered to Montgomery ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and Patton ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ. Where were the commies? Fighting an empty Reichstag ๐Ÿ˜ƒas Hitler was in the Chancery. It's just nonsensical lies by Stalin; with that Hitler pact of his going tits up. When I was a British English language consultant in Kyiv one year and Odessa three? There were still Soviet monuments all over the place, showing the Patriotic War (as they boastingly named it) all over the ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡งbloody๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง place. 1941-45. ๐Ÿ™„ Thankfully they're removing them now, as are the old Baltic corridor countries. Ex Soviet people who live there though; are still complaining about that. It's insulting to Britain who fought Germany alone 39-41. Stalin also refused to give credit to the military of Royal Navy and RAF ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง. Who lost thousands of lives, protecting food convoys, so USSR people wouldn't starve. Recently I got into an on-line argument with a Ukrainian (Soviet Gen obviously) who said ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ made a CONTRIBUTION and nothing more. Refused to believe, USSR soldiers from his grandfathers gen, raped two million women in PEACE TIME East Germany; and East Berlin. Ages of children 8 and grannies of octogenarian. Yet he was willing to accept Bucha from rashists. Stalin did his work well in schools; in successive generations I spose. My name is historical, I'm from Kensington and Chelsea in London. I'd like to thank ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ for providing such valuable help during WW2. Without which we'd have lost. WITHOUT them we'd have been speaking German. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

  38. Russia in recent history have never won a war. I include WW2. Propaganda BS from USSR, that seem to omit the surrender was to Montgomery ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and Patton ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ. On May 8 1945 not May 9 as Stalin decided to stage manage. These people are not organised enough to win anything. (I speak from personal experience.) With their nasal accents, and uncivilised, soulless, cold hearted, drunken, Bolshovik legacy behaviour. They really don't care who they drag into a conflict either. With their subhuman activity. Please don't fall for.... they didn't want this war either, as they detest Ukraine, as it's far more developed and civilised than they are. (Again I speak from personal experience.) Their jealousy and black envy; knows no bounds. They wanted this war.....to steal from Ukrainians eventually. (Which they've been doing anyway.) Prez Zelynski does a great job trying to explain to that guy how rashist orcs operate. rashist orcs didn't want to be cannon fodder either.....they'd rather someone else be. They'll lie like hell and switch religious allegiance if necessary. Please read "Book of Dead Souls" by Gugl. Maybe then you'll understand why they base life decisions on that shite. They're melodramatic beyond belief; as she demonstrated on that bus. Lies is truth, to these cold hearted dolts. I cannot stand ANY of them and I've met THOUSANDS. One day they'll be paid back. PATTON wanted to FINISH them off after he'd met them. So did REAGAN many years later. We ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ should have LISTENED to THEM. Thanks Jake; for all the work you do. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

  70. ย @youtubewatcher2ย  I'm not a tourist I'm expat. I live here all year round....it actually rained yesterday and broke the cycle. Back to normal today tho October 17th at 26c ๐ŸŒž. Tbh it's slightly too hot in July and most of it comes from Syria on an easterly. 40 to 46c. But I'm acclimatised and go for a swim from 6am to 11am when it's reasonably 28c peak. The rest of the time of the year, the wind if any and light, comes from the South or South West. It's cheap as chips to live here. My last water bill for four weeks was ยฃ2.68. My elec bill was ยฃ15.84 for the same period. I have an apt overlooking the Med Sea, on a winter December twelve month contract for only $275. 7 yrs old and all mod cons. Tourists in my small block in summer, can pay anything up to $800. So a contract in December is the best option as the owner gets guaranteed regular income. Ciggies ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง or smokes๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ as you say are ยฃ1.25 for a pack of twenty. I don't smoke but it's a good gauge for prices for commodities. This was filmed early May by a Brit guy. Even then it was hot, unusually for May, at around 33c plus or minus either way. 324 Sunny days a year. Jan is about 12-14c and rains a few days only. Feb is the worst at 8-12c and rains like the tropics for three weeks but not incessantly. March to April starts to get warm again. 18 ascending steadily to 25. May averages about 29c this year hotter. June is hotter this year than last. 32-37 July August last year was 38-46. Sept to December averages about 25 to 21 sliding scale. Lots of ladies from Eastern and Western Europe. Scandinavian. African. Asian. Australian. English language is the norm. Second vid is from a drone a few months back. Have a lovely day in California; which I'm sure you will. https://youtu.be/-UO4F-edC9o https://youtu.be/qOzq9t_n9AQ

  103. Jake hello. Occasionally I comment on your vids. This one I felt it necessary, as I was a British English language consultant in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three. I experienced this machismo push up error, constantly on Odessa beaches. Together with outdated PT exercises. It was humourous to watch it. Mind-blowing in fact. These were mostly carried out, by the old USSR generation. In the USSR, everyone was given grandiose titles. Hairmaster. Nailmaster. I'll just stop there as I'm sure you get the picture. Unfortunately in Ukraine; these titles are still used. They're actually unaware they're part of this USSR nonsense. Not their fault, it's their parents and grandparents. I left Odessa about 10 months before the invasion, as I anticipated that the so called "military exercises" were a prequel; of what was to come. I'm now living in Alanya region, of the beautiful Med Sea climate. 320 sunny days a year and heaven for an Englishman ๐Ÿ˜ƒ. Yesterday 30/12/2022 was 23c ๐ŸŒž Many ex Soviet corrupt people, live in the next town. Absconding with loot; and buying property here mid 90s. Tourism is heavily rashist orc also; in selected towns along the Turquoise Coast. I'm including that USSR generation from Kazakhstan and so on. They all do these (what I term as) dated PT exercises that UK and USA practiced; probably in the 60s. Arm twirling. Neck exercises. You're sure to know this. It's a sad sight to see, they cannot break this habit, of ideological brainwashing. The only nation, from that ideology rejecting it, is the Polish ๐Ÿ‘ Many from both russia and Ukraine are here now; for war reasons. My friends and I sit outside cafes and we all speak English. These people are from Western Europe and Scandinavian countries mostly. rashists walk by and assume we're all ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ and hurl insults at us (quietly); as they're so ignorant of Europe and Scandinavia now. Assuming we're from ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ ๐Ÿ˜ƒ....when I answer them in my reasonable rashist language; the look on their faces is a sight to behold. Bye-bye and thanks.

  134. ย @tessjuelย  It is, in its cruelty. I highlight the treatment of Ukrainian people in this respect. Currently. Disinformation. That's never changed except for a short period I spose. So if I may.... Dear Madam Within this 2 day war he expected, he's had his throne dirtied. Russian soldiers are hopeless. He's resorting to begging terrorists. His reputation in tatters. Little Ukraine are fighting very well indeed. It doesn't matter if he wins. He never actually will, as there'll be constant military underground activity. He's revealed himself to be a school playground bully. With an absolutely, cowardly, nonsensical military. (I'm ex Royal Navy ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Falklands War.....and you?) Russian people are most likely the same, except....they'll be ostracised for decades now. USSR could hide, as we didn't have a social media world. Additionally those people, have been complicit by their own silence. Conspicuous by their absence. As for that insane despot. Two million people displaced, amongst other atrocities. Just like Hitler. There are other obvious comparisons. I used to live in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three in Ukraine. I was a British English language consultant. I also taught in St Petersburg Russia years ago. After my military service. In my experiences, Ukrainian people, are open and funny. With vitality and energetic, confident TV presenters. Wishing to move forward; in a modern world. A democratic young country; with young politicians. A person can say what they think. There'll be no arrests. Russians are seemingly the opposite. A nation of zombified people. Russian TV is full of one sidedness. No debate Full of boastful and narcissistic, jealous people; generally speaking. Stuck in the past. Their population has a serious, some might say boring, miserable, tendency to see everything as a struggle. That's their past.... A 74 year legacy of Communism. Struggle etc apparently is good ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm no armchair critic. I've travelled extensively. How about you? Have a lovely day. I am, Yours faithfully Etc etc etc

  137. That bit at 13:30 and a while longer. Is EXACTLY what Stalin did, when they attacked the Rheichstag. Hitler was not there and was in the Chancery. The Reichstag had been empty for years. I watched this story, on an ex Brit military commanders channel. He also suggested, that when USSR attacked, they were losing to German cannons, located left to right of the Reichstag. So USA and UK were in turn, attacking those German cannons; from elsewhere. This was never acknowledged by Stalin; and instead he stage managed the date, to show the flag being raised. Additionally, he changed the later dates of victory, from May 8 to 9. Again he never acknowledged the Germans real surrender. Throughout history, these people have lied. USSR and Russia. I worked as a British English language consultant, in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three. I left on March 31 last year, because of Putin even then playing on the borders. Moved to Alanya Turkey and a great Med Sea climate. I made a lot of friends in Odessa, who were business people. They said UNTIL glasnost and perestroika, under Gorbachev. They had been told that Anglo-Saxon aggressors ๐Ÿ™„ UK and USA forces; didn't enter WW2 until 1944 ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ƒ I can confirm this, as when I stayed in a guesthouse in Odessa, a wee while before I rented an apartment. A couple who owned the guesthouse, who were about early 60s age group, asked me why USA and UK hadn't helped USSR until 1944. I pointed out that UK had fought Germany ALONE from 39-41. Battle of Britain etc. Royal Navy destroyed The Bismark etc. USA entering the war tail end of 1941. Pearl Harbour etc Showed them on Wikipedia; but they called it lies. Other channels also; but they said it was imperialist propaganda. Plus they were proud of communism. Which drew a question from me; as to why they were capitalists now...... unanswered. So This is what you're dealing with; if you travel there. We ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ are brushed from history it would seem. Keep up the good work Jake and thx.

  141. I'll just comment about the rapes please. This is not uncommon at all. I am from Kensington and Chelsea; in London. My name is historical. However I do have relatives in Germany. USSR soldiers raped children aged 7 yrs; to octogenarian people. (Possibly two million) In PEACETIME WW2 East Germany and East Berlin. Left thousands pregnant or murdered. Stalin called it recreation. It's all been revealed; after communism collapsed. Ladies came forward; too scared to under the commie regime. You'll find it online. Putin has banned all info on it. By the way, just as current day rashist orcs do. USSR soldiers stole the toilets, transported them back to USSR....and left priceless paintings on walls behind. (That time) I was a British English language consultant in Kyiv one year and Odessa three. Left ten months before putin invaded....sort of could see it was inevitable. When I told people there celebrating May 9; not May 8. (Yes they still do). That Germany surrendered to Montgomery ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง and Patton ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ on May 8. They called me a liar; and that USA hadn't entered the war until 1944. Britain entered in 1943 (however Britain fought ALONE 39-41).....USSR won it and we ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง made a small contribution ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ƒ (Yes lots still believe that) HOWEVER they're finding out the hard way now unfortunately. Additionally: They also did the same in 1915 to Polish; under the russian empire. A pattern that Hitler called "subhuman".....I'm no fan of his....but he was proved right. May I thank your country ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ for saving UK from speaking German....because yes they ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง were fab; but they were losing it before Japan intervened. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ https://youtu.be/mKBdG1X8DI8 https://youtu.be/XGUDYXXiGaM

  142. Jake you do a great job. I am a member of an on-line forum where many subjects are covered. At one time in the past, I had a quarter of a million followers. However a few years back I got banned for contentious comments, by the internet thought police. So Have avoided making wokedom stuff comments, since my ban was lifted. However today, I made a comment about Ukraine etc which right now, is not the flavourable thing to do. So I fully expect to be banned again but hey! in a UK general election a majority can be ONE! Quote: I'm no rashist orc fan. However recently Zelynski found that his deputy; and most of his government were corruptly lining their pockets. One even bought a house and a mansion. Another sold food supplies at a higher price, (donated from the West); illegally. The worst though was the electricity infrastructure minister. Who overpriced the generator requirements; and pocketed over 350 thousand dollars. This was announced on the same day, as when two Brit ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง volunteer aid workers were killed. Many of you armchair critics, on this forum mostly from ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ know nothing about Ukraine; in this respect. Are quick to jump on the anti-russian bandwagon. However I've worked in both countries, as a British English language consultant. The longest span was a year in Kyiv and three in Odessa. I'm here to tell you, that Ukraine is far more corrupt; than Russia is. If there are Russians reading this? They know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. I left Ukraine about ten months before Putin invaded. Now live in Alanya region of the beautiful Med Sea climate, with 320 sunny days a year. Heaven for an Englishman ๐Ÿ˜ƒ Today 26/1/2023 was 22c ๐ŸŒž There's lots of Eastern European people here running from Putin; for different reasons. (They all get along fine.) What disappoints me most, is that Ukrainian people have learned NOTHING. Expect aid at the drop of a hat. Are very right-wing orientated. Will steal from their own family members. I had 3 phones stolen..... (Russian people took nothing of mine in St Petersburg). Are incredibly critical of families in EU and Great Britain; when they're getting lots and should be bloody grateful. Are stealing from those families, or using hand-outs from the respective Govts to have cosmetic surgery. I'll stop there.....but media are covering this up. Ukraine should NEVER be allowed to join the EU, as they promised when President Zelynski was elected; that he'd get rid of corruption. Even the Ukrainian people here in Alanya, who have fled....drive the biggest 4x4 cars....even saw a Bentley. I also saw the most luxurious, of those type of cars in Odessa, far more than in Russia; and hardly at all in Alanya. Where people are far more humble; and drive everyday type cars. There's nothing like personal experience; methinks. Unquote Thanks and I'm expecting a backlash here. However; I stand by what I've written. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ

  146. Nice work both. I was a British English language consultant in Kyiv one year; and Odessa three. I came across that generation of brainwashed commies, who thought I was somewhat strange. Similarly I can confirm the politics angle, that Vlad describes here. "No politics" was a favourite answer of theirs towards me. I was just open minded and outspoken....a sort of freedom compared to them. I'd never had that sort of ideology, Vlad describes here, in Kensington and Chelsea London, where I'm from. However they weren't all like that.... plus especially people I'd say under 35 yrs old. That age group were also frustrated, by their parents and grandparents; who couldn't understand why they wanted to learn the "evil English language"...๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ƒ I anticipated Putin's invasion and left in March 2021. I'm now in Alanya region of the beautiful Med Sea climate. Experienced many Ukrainians here after the invasion. Since then? Many rashist orcs are here avoiding mobilisation. There are many expats here from UK, USA, Scandinavian countries, Aussies, and Western Europe. We all sit outside cafes occasionally and "chew the fat" about life etc. rashists pass by and utter negatively about "we English" as they can't join in. However I learned enough russian language, to respond; and this freaks them out. Similarly, their knowledge of Europe etc and the spread of the English language, is poor; because of the reasons Vlad describes here. Now that Vlad is a British citizen ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‘ˆ; he most certainly IS a "jewel in its crown"๐Ÿ‘‘. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
