  1. On the anniversary of this famine, guess what the Muscovite cowards who ran way to Tashkent were doing, stuffing their faces with restaurant food at "the Breakfast Club" and to top it all off there's Ukrainians on front line towns without power, water and gas, and hardly any food. The thoughtlessness of these crass degenerates affording to pig out on expensive restaurant food says it all. 83 year old Babushka Vera Ivanova wasn't wrong when she said all her countrymen were "Svoloch" in that street interview that went viral recently. btw, @laconically, you are the best Silicon Curtain commenter by far! 🙃

  2. 9At the 6:50 mark, Mr Garner says, "...so when Putin came in, those same (Yeltsin) spin doctors were literally battering down the doors of the media and applying all osrts of pressure..." - The first thing they did was cancel a political satire show that used puppets to mock politicians called "Kukliy" i.e. puppets (also used as a word for dolls too) but the show was called Puppets. The word is here in Ukraine that Putin used to blow his stack every time he saw that show -they did mock him a lot on it - he hated it, plus they got a lot of mileage out of Yeltsin, but Yeltsin was not bothered by it, he was so drunk mostly, he probably laughed along with it! 🤡 Summing up, this was the first ominous sign, preceding the "Ryazan sugar" incident, that showed the true character of Putin, but the western political establishment ignored it all, Merkel being the most prominent example here in Europe - she signed the Nord Stream II contracts with Putin not long after he took Crimea and Girkin started the war in Donbas. 💩

  3. Taras was spot on at the end of the podcast re: the evils of Soviet communism and Nazism. I point out all the time that both a forms of socialism, that the ideology of Nazism and Fascism is National Socialism and vatniks come back with, "but they are complete opposites", revealing how little they understand the nuancves of the political spectrum. I think they are offended befause most of therm consider themselves "sociliasts". The only ananlogy i can draw is an F1 racing car and small off roader are kind of complete oppisites in a way, but both are still cars! Soviet communism, (international socialism) and Nazism/Fascism (national socialism) are both just as evil and both forms of SOCIALISM! :)

  4. When Stalin declared "Socialism in one country", did they not then become National Socialists, rather than international Soviet Socialists ?

  5. Mr Mearsheimer is a caveman brained, 19th century sphere of influence thinker, that seems to think it's ok for me to lose my home in Donbas to Russia because "might makes right" (hence caveman brained)....easy for him to talk like that when it's not his home that is being lost!

  6. As Dr Sasha Dovzhyk said on Silicon cCurtain a month ago - "Russians are spineless atomised individuals". I don't waste my time with him anymore, I've watched a ton of his shows and NOT ONCE did he ever pledge money to support Ukrainians, he uses all the money to stuff his fat face with food every weekday at his "Breakfast Club", whilst on front lien towns Ukrainians are living in wrecked houses with no power, water, gas or food.

  7. A very important point at the 23:00 min mark, Mr Williams talked abut Apple CEO Tim Cook's "engagement" with China to justify being there and it was never successful in changing Xi's or the CCP's attitude. Well, what did Angela Merkel's "engagement" (i.e. showing weakness via appeasement) with Tsar Putin get us ? We all now how that panned out. Massive displacement of millions, lots of deceased civilians and fallen Heroes of Ukraine, total war. Merkel signed the Nord Stream II contracts not even 3 months after Putin stole Crimea. She must go down as the most prolific useful idiot of all times.

  8. What happened to Kostya ? Did the FSB poison him ? 😐

  9. RT has some real charlatans on there talking as "Russia experts". One of them makes regular appearances on RT UK, his name is Martin Summers & I caught him out on a podcast he does in Bristol called "the politics show". He said that Russia had to take Crimea because Sevastopol is the only warm water port they have, he had no clue about Novorossisk, the largest port on the Black Sea and in Russia proper! Summers is a the archetypal useful idiot, a clown that peddles some really vile anti-Ukrainian propaganda as does that vile rat in a hat that hosts MOATS!

  10.  @dmitryletov8138  We'll stop writing the truth when you stop writing BS. - " 95% Ukrainians speak Russian" - this is only because Russian was a langauge of Empire like English was too. If the languages as so similar as you claim and " 95% Ukrainians speak Russian" , then why is it that "0% of Russians speak Ukrainian" ? - are Russians so stupid that your one example is beyond their comprehension ? so tell me where is the "one letter difference between the basics like.... yes and no (tak/ni -da/nyet) greetings (zdrasvuitye - vitayu) thank you (spasibo - djakuyu) goodbye (do svidanya - do pobachneye) that's just the basics so, who's talking BS now ? 🙃

  13. I've worked in IT for decades and I have some advice for anyone here in Ukraine reading this. With the "no internet' Mari mentions at the 3:10 mark, there is a "trick" you can do to get internet when the power is out here. What you can do is plug the WAN ethernet cable directly into your laptop or macbook (if it's a macbook air like my wife has you'll need a USB ethernet port dongle, the "air" part of the name mens Wi-Fi only) and then get internet. Some caveats, because you are bypassing the router (and the firewall it has), make sure your firewall in OSX or Windows is ON, otherwise you are wide open for shots. The other thing is you may need to register these devices that are not your router with your ISP as when you plugin the cable in will get you an IP addy and DNS server addy, but no internet traffic. All you have to do is call you ISP here in Ukraine and get them to register all the laptops and macbooks that will use this WAN cable. It's better than relying on SIM card data and tethering to your phone as when the cell towers batteries run flat SIM card data won't work, plus the SIM network gets congested when the power is cut as everyone hits the SIM card data hard as you can imagine.

  14.  @SiliconCurtain  Undoubtedly, a good proportion of Americans I knew online back then, mostly IRC at that time, were "over it" all, so to speak and they pretty much well all started out as "lets go get 'em" patriots.

  15. At the 47:35 min mark, Anastasia - "...here in America there is this concept of community.....I can not bring myself to find the analogous word in ruzzian..." - indeed, neither can I, but in Ukrainian the word is "Hromada"! From Encyclopaedia Britannica - Topic - Hromada - Political movements in Ukraine; "…19th century, clandestine societies called hromadas (“communities”) were formed in various cities to promote Ukrainian culture, education, and publishing under conditions of illegality. Originally associated with the Kyiv hromada was the leading political thinker of the time, Mykhaylo Drahomanov, who advocated the transformation of the tsarist empire into a federative republic in which Ukrainian national rights would be assured. Toward the end of the century, younger, primarily student-led hromadas became involved in more overtly political activities. One such group in Kharkiv developed into the Revolutionary Ukrainian Party, which in a pamphlet published in 1900 advanced for the first time as a political goal “one, single, indivisible, free, independent Ukraine.”

  17.  @jonson856  Indeed, I think you might be right, also in slavic, the word for slav is "slovyanski", when it got transliterated to English is ends up "slavic", so the etymology gets confused with the way it ended up in English somehow. Slovenia and Slovakia get their names from the root for Slovyanski etc. But I think it's Greek or Latin that used "Sclaveni" and aslo in old times Serbia was "Servia" with a v, which maybe relates to that root word you mentioned.

  18. At the end Mr Zagorodnyuk mentions our biggest problem here is air power, two words dear Jonathon - "Dan Hampton"! 😉✈

  19. What is really astounding to me is how the world has forgotten that Russia proper under the Russian empire was one of the most anti-Semitic entities on the planet for over a century with the little mentioned "Pale of Settlement". It seems the Putinite KGB that run Russia now are trying very hard to foster some false kind of Jewish tolerance via propaganda. They seem to have even fooled pro-Ukainian podcasts like "Battleground Ukraine" - in the face of Lavrov (saying Hitler was part Jewish in an epic fail at stealing the thigh ground from President Zelensky) and Putin using the K word in the past several times - where a "listeners E-Mail" was read out on air praising Putin's love of Jewish families he encountered in his past, and the two hosts Patrick Bishop and Saul David fell for it. They seemed to have no idea about Putins K-word rants of teh past!!! This is how insidious and duplicitous the Kremlin really is.

  20. Let's not foget Muscovy was a "suburb" or outskirts of Kyivan Rus that came much later. Russians think that Ukraine belongs to them, but it's the other way around, Russia (Muscovy) belongs to UKraine (Kyiv). This is why Muscovy was always a backwards country, it's full of backwards thinkers! :P

  21. Steve is spot on - Merkel was the biggest Putin boot licker of all, but the "leaders of Western Europe" France and Germany as infested with Putin boot lickers and still are infested. Sarcozy and Merkel are pieces of garbage, I blame them for the homes my wife and I lost in Donbas just as much as I do Tsar Putin. 😐

  23.  @hctim96  exactly, unlike that "poor Russian" Tashkent coward grifter on the last podcast that all the fools were praising and "feeling his pain", WTF pain, he lives the high life, he donates NOTHING to Ukraine and keeps all the money he grifts to eat at the "Breakfast Club" restaurant five days a week, when he could have come to Ukraine and joined the Russian Freedom battallion....just saying
