Youtube hearted comments of BC-Guy (@bc-guy852).

  1. No apology necessary Dude! I think the military analysts refer to it as the "fog of war"... exact details not immediately available and subject to correction when more information confirmed. Your daily coverage is incredible and we owe you a great thanks for your work. No apology necessary!
    464
  2. The consistency of the epic reporting expressed here, for years now, is appreciated. Phenomenal work Sir.
    237
  3. Thank you for the incredible work you (and your team) do! Especially now that YouTube is demonetizing war coverage channels. Exceptional, fast, trusted analysis. Thank you. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    204
  4. Fabulous update - super annotations. I hope the Ukraine offensive continues as you have presented. Your efforts are appreciated by so many, from all around the world! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    199
  5. I always learn so much from your episodes Jake. I'm a native Canadian - my Dad fought in WWII and spoke of cluster bombs. Canada DID sign that treaty yet I DO support the US providing them - for exactly the reasons you illustrated. Thank you for your reason Jake. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! CRIMEA IS UKRAINE!!
    189
  6. Episode after episode: Quality coverage, excellent analytics, heartfelt sentiment and honest, informed, epic journalism. We have all come to trust you Jake, you are a Legend and you've earned every one of your subscribers and likes. Slava Ukraini.
    186
  7. Simply the finest and most accurate analysis of the situation - every day. Thank you! Crimea IS Ukraine. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    119
  8. Simply the finest reporting on the war in Ukraine anywhere on the web. Consistently and daily! Thank you! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    117
  9. I unsubscribed from Peter a long while back (before he hid behind a paywall) but I did see that he'd uploaded one that I'd be interested in - and I knew Sal would cover it - and now I'm set to sit back and watch Sal at work. Thank you Professor! Edit: And Sal, your driveway looks great - with a nice view of the park - - but PLEASE Sal - - no man-bun / ponytail - please!
    114
  10. Please keep raising this issue Jake; I'll listen to you empower Republicans to do the right thing, anytime. Supporting Ukraine, IS the right thing to do. Slava Ukraini.
    108
  11. YOU and WGOWS are bringing this story to focus - again, Sal! This is why we need you doing what you're doing for us! Thank you for What's Going On With Shipping!
    105
  12. This is one of the most impressive presentations I've ever seen on YouTube.
    95
  13. Canadian looking in and thoroughly enjoying this coverage. I subscribed with notifications on from the first episode I saw. Great work Brian.
    82
  14. Your episodes - (that started with a jam in a canal) - have become 'evermore' significant on multiple levels, 'given' the recent geopolitical manifestations Dr. Sal! :)
    74
  15. Canadian landlubber here; I learned a lot here today including some Canadian trivia. Well done! (Your episodes get better and better!!)
    63
  16. Absolutely incredible. The coverage and analysis you provide to the American people - at no cost - is of a calibre that is unavailable anywhere else. Your experience with years at sea and teaching the principles at University gives a unique (and in my opinion, correct) analysis of every aspect of this incident; right down to shaming "Gibbs"! Please keep your bag packed Dr. Sal; I know you're going to be doing some travelling and guest lectures but with great reviews like this, I think perhaps the Navy might want to get you in for a chat too - - I hope so! So - while you've got this analysis being written, (and coordination of video feed being synced) you also teach, full-time at University, you Chair the Department, you're a volunteer Fire Captain, accomplished YouTube Creator - and family Man... I suspect - - you've actually got some Superhuman skills you're not sharing with us. It's okay Sal - we can keep a secret - we're just glad you're doing what you do!!
    62
  17. Thank you for your professional work and analysis. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    47
  18. Your coverage and analysis is simply the best on the internet. Thank you for your work on our behalf. I don't know where you get your information - but it is consistently so accurate I feel you are there on the front! Crimea IS Ukraine! and... BAKHMUT STANDS! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    43
  19. Absolutely incredible analysis and coverage. Consistently! Thank you. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    43
  20. You're a gifted teacher Professor Sal; you're students are blessed to have such a well-versed and passionate instructor! You're making teaching - FUN!
    38
  21. One of the BEST new channels on YouTube!!! You should have - - soon WILL have ten times your current number of subscribers - - as you should! Super production quality, great script, excellent B-roll and all wrapped around a high-quality analysis. Which is why I have my notifications turned on! GREAT JOB ON THIS! Slava Ukraini.
    34
  22. So many brave individuals giving what they can. Heroyam Slava!!
    33
  23. It sounds to me like we missed an opportunity to get a head start on this problem - way back in 2017 - if we had listened to you, Professor Sal. Your idea sounds like a good multi-purpose vessel for the Canadian Coast Guard as well! (with an ice-rated hull - I'd love to have four!)
    32
  24. FABULOUS episode Dr. Sal! You and H. I. Sutton are both The Top Authorities in your field. The analysis of his work - through your lens - is JUST what we needed. Thank you for your insights; I agree that the dry-dock is a key asset and russia lost THREE big assets in this one attack!! I think we will no longer see any naval vessels in Sevastapol - they will all be moved to russian ports - to remain safe.
    30
  25. Well said - and I note that he's just about to clear THREE million subscribers. That's incredible channel growth in a short time, IMO. He's earned it.
    30
  26. Well, I think a lot more people are aware of and are following the events in global shipping now Sal; especially since YOU have hit the scene and made it so interesting and informative. Mad Respect for your work Sir!
    29
  27. Absolutely incredible battlefield interpretation and analytical review (as well as forecasts). Your coverage is simply The Most thorough coverage there is. Thank you for all of your hard work. Slava Ukraini!
    29
  28. I hope you know just how important this work you do - for Ukraine - for Democracy really is Jake. You're a fine example of what a good human can be Mr. Broe. I'm flattered to be on your list. Democracy is hard work - and not successful without it. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava.
    28
  29. You as 'Talk Show and News Host' just keeps getting better and better Sal. You're funny, entertaining as hell, super well-informed, passionate about this industry, (and life in general it seems!) I had zero knowledge of 'shipping stuff' and didn't know I was interested in that and all you talk about! Like over 100,000 people (and growing FAST!) It's YOU Dr. Sal. It's a pleasure to have such a fine instructor.
    27
  30. Leaving the subject matter analysis aside for a moment - I would like to comment that this is exceptionally well done, in my opinion. This calibre of production, so early in the development of this creators channel is incredible. And, I completely concur with your analysis and conclusions. ALGORITHM - - HIT THIS ONE UP!! Well done Team! Slava Ukraini.
    26
  31. I think that's what we all felt on subscribing - - but - you will NOT regret it! I didn't know - what I didn't know until I subscribed!! Sal Rocks!
    26
  32. You're a talented presenter and narrator but I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to follow your message without the amazing model. With the model in hand - it all makes sense!! Thanks kids!!
    24
  33. Another great update Philip - thank you and your team! There is a long way to go - but the Kerch Bridge is a BIG part of it. The rail portion has to be dropped! Leave the orcs one lane - to escape - but no rail to support their heavy equipment and artillery needs.
    23
  34. Hello?? - - YouTube?? - - are you watching this channel's productions?? HIT THIS UP ALGORITHM! Outstanding. Excellent journalism. Well done. An incredible expose - and I agree that you should be careful, very careful; (artful segue into your sponsor spot noted) - but yes, be careful. This is powerful stuff.
    22
  35. You provide the absolute best coverage of this war out there - bar none! Your graphics, annotations and analysis are outstanding, fast and your predictions for future traps and advancements have been right on. Incredible coverage. Thank you for what you do Sir! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    22
  36. Wow Sal, from the Bab-el-Mandeb, through the Jones Act and on through the fine detail of the St. Lawrence Seaway and lock networks. Your experience and breadth of knowledge is very impressive! Thank you. Congratulations on the new podcast!
    21
  37. Your episodes are getting better and better! Keep up the great work! Greetings from BC, Canada.
    21
  38. Nice to see What The Ship back - and that's a Very Busy Professor lately! Thanks for doing what you do Sal! You must have Shiploads of energy!
    21
  39. Brilliant and fun exchange. I'll tune in to hear you speak with this guy again Sal! Informative and entertaining!!
    20
  40. I believe your analysis is precisely correct Prof. Sal. When I saw the incredible advance in the fire since yesterdays episode I immediately thought of what you suggested - - it needs a fire break - the way we do for forest fires here in BC. This tragedy is massive. This aspect and the ensuing toxic smoke and waste may disable this port for many years. Thank you for your fabulous insights!
    20
  41. Absolutely the best analytics and graphics available on the most-recent events in Ukraine. Outstanding.
    19
  42. I learn more about Canada (and I'm a native Canadian) with virtually every WGOWS episode! Thanks Dr. Sal. If it's like most 'Canadian negations' they'll be nice-nice right up until the Strike Notice - then put their big-boy-and-girl-pants on - and get the deal DUN! They stretch it out - until it gets international attention - to justify their salaries.
    19
  43. Absolutely Brilliant!! Great efforts by and from many! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Adam and his team! Heroyam Slava!
    19
  44. Heroyam Slava!
    17
  45. Fantastic video Artem. You have produced many but I think this one is your best work. Thorough and well-presented. You and your wife Rock Dude. Thank you for what you both are doing for Ukraine. Some heroes carry hockey sticks. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    15
  46. Always Impresive!! I don't know how you do it; productions of this calibre and quality of content are normally only creatred by much 'bigger' channels. Soon, you too, will have a GOLD YT Play Button on your wall. The amount of money they are investing and the development time frame - is concerning!
    15
  47. Your video Talking Tactics is one of the highlights of my week! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!! CRIMEA IS UKRAINE!
    15
  48. WHAT?? I first checked you guys out months ago; the material is always fabulous and I thought for sure you'd have ten times the subscribers you do! This is a great episode and should be viewed by the masses! Great work guys - respect from BC, Canada.
    15
  49. I've seen a lot of your videos Ryan. This might be the best you've ever produced. It also allowed a glimpse of some of the complexities and background that has shaped Mr. McBeth. Thanks.
    15
  50. You continue to impress with very high quality episodes of interesting topics. Well done - again! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    14
  51. Incredible work you do Professor! Thank you so much. This was epic - your best episode yet by a considerable margin. I've been wondering when you would get a chance to comment on this, directly as you've often mentioned how China's staggering build rate for their navy became evident. Award worthy documentary Dr. Sal. I look forward to part 2!
    14
  52. I don't know how you do it doctor; between the teaching/grading this channel and your other engagements - but I'm glad you do! A fantastic update on the naval side of this, history and current and connections to what happens next in global shipping and food supplies. It's all connected; you've made that clear, not only in this video but your other brilliant episodes. Thank you for your fine work.
    14
  53. Another thorough and professional analysis - thank you Russian Dude. Your DAILY reports are just what I need to get a review of what is happening and an informed and comprehensive view of what is likely to happen next. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! Thank you Artem!
    14
  54. Another brilliant interview with one of the most qualified people out there. I have had the pleasure of listening to General Hodges in your other interviews and will listen to your fifth meeting with him when you get that chance. This channel is a gem. Jonathan is articulate and insightful and brings out the best of his guests and always seems to make them feel at ease. This channel should have ten times the subscribers it does!
    14
  55. I agree Sal; at that pressure, it was a massive amount of energy and over in an instant, mercifully. I didn't expect human remains to be retrieved. I had no idea the explosion would be so exothermic, destroying everything. You compare it to the temperature of the sun! (I learn something every episode; you always teach us.) I shudder at the cost - to our Coast Guards and Navy. Prevention - not Investigation.
    14
  56. I guess it's time - to put up my Christmas lights! Thank you - for speaking FOR these people! Please don't stop doing what you're doing Sal!! It might make you wife happier - - but what would all of us do without WGOWS??
    14
  57. Slava Ukraini! Getting through some of your older videos Jake. Great content.
    14
  58. How do you still only have so few subscribers? Your channel is fabulous! Thorough coverage and analysis with excellent references and sources on top of top-notch production, quality B-roll and even music and audio levels. All dialled! I'm going to share this with Jake Broe - he's also a Ukraine-supporting YouTuber and he might help your channel grow with a podcast? Very professional. I think we'll be seeing lots more from you!
    13
  59. An easy: Like, Subscribe, Notifications and a comment for the creators! Great information that needs more support. Thank you for creating this! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! CRIMEA IS UKRAINE!!
    13
  60. Congratulations on starting your PHD! Your channel produces great content - you're going to do great!!
    12
  61. More heavy armour is on the way brave warriors! The west has been slow to move but the heavy gear is on the way! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! Support United24 if you can!!
    12
  62. As a landlocked Canadian I follow your channel out of interest. The QUALITY of information, the personal insights and the fabulous documentation and presentation have me signed up as a subscriber with notifications on! Great work Sal, as always.
    12
  63. Another great episode. Sal really gets around! Thanks Sal - and Sean!
    11
  64. Hey Mayor - - GREAT Idea and as Sal says - overdue. Now, I'll bet if you act FAST, ask nicely and send Sal a First Class ticket - he would consider coming in (before classes start) and organize your group!
    11
  65. Great episode Sal - thank you. I know the Coast Guard are favourites of yours - and the expedition you showcase is proof of their commitment to a near-impossible voyage. I'd love to see more about that in a future episode?
    10
  66. The coverage just doesn't get - cannot get - any better than this! Prof. Sal ON this very vessel for some time and able to provide experience and knowledge related to these situations. I agree with other comments that this should never have been allowed to occur - and you can be sure, remedial actions and new SOP's will be put in place on Comfort and rehearsed for some time. I think several individuals will be 'written up' for this. Thanks for the fabulous review Sal!
    10
  67. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a 'sponsor spot' as much as I enjoyed this one! Looks like nice gear and the video (you shot or they provided) is ideal. I always enjoy your videos and I know that sponsor-revenue is part of a successful YouTube channel; a classy ad is just sauce for the goose. Continued success!
    8
  68. Another super-informative episode Jake. I don't like to 'be negative' but every bit of what you forecast seems very plausible to me. When did you finally get your new computer? How long did it take versus 'company expectation'? Did the rest of it go well?
    8
  69. I heard about this earlier but did not have the chance to look into it - through a trusted source. If Sal is reporting on it after conferring with some of his friends like Mike from G-Captain - I'm ready to listen and learn. Thank you Sal. We'll keep a good thought as this rescue progresses.
    8
  70. Always a pleasure to hear from you Sal - but even on a camera phone I would prefer Landscape view - always. And a bluetooth phone earpiece or a decent wired one would do a better job on audio. Always good info!
    8
  71. Brilliant analysis. Thank you for your work to prepare these! Your graphics and annotation enhancements are very-much appreciated! Makes it so much easier to follow. Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!
    8
  72. We all do Denys. Nice to see both you and Starsky stop by Jake's channel. With you three on station - we get all the truth and great analysis we need. Ukraine War Coverage Media Heroes. Heroyam Slava!
    8
  73. You do extremely professional and thorough coverage and analysis Preston. I've been following the war since the very start but it's only been my pleasure to discover your channel in the past while. Clearly you are at the top of the field when it comes to this and your channel will continue to grow quickly I think and hope! Well done. Thank you!
    7
  74. Anders always presents a balanced and well thought out answer or analysis to any of the situations we've seen develop since this madman's invasion began. And his brave forecasts have been spot-on! I always make time for your interviews as well - thorough and interesting, topical content from world-class guests. So definitely a Win-Win when you team up together!
    7
  75. You work very hard Sal. Thank you for putting yourself through the stress you do, to provide us with such important and timely information.
    7
  76. You triggered my interest in tanker related companies months ago when you first mentioned it Prof. Sal! I was unable to capitalize on that fact - but you were right - even way back then!
    7
  77. Always impressive presentations Preston. Respect from BC, Canada.
    7
  78. As a very recent subscriber I have to ask... 'how the heck did I NOT know of your great (Canadian!) channel?' This is a fantastic video. Thanks for doing what you do!
    7
  79. Another epic episode from an amazing channel. Work like this is why you've achieved 3 million subscribers. Congratulations to the Team! I think we'll be hearing a lot more about this building in the future.
    6
  80. Brilliant. Succinct and impactful. This is why this channel is closing-in, on the One Million Subscribers goal SO quickly! Kudos!
    6
  81. As always - A Class Act. Thank you Ryan - we know you're not in it for the huge payout - - it's to discover Tim's when crossing into We The North Country to share your talents with us common folk.
    6
  82. What the heck did we do before WGOWS?? I guess we'd have to wait a day and catch it on the news... Thanks Sal!
    6
  83. Always super information - with a side of passionate delivery from you Sal; always a pleasure. I hope those in a position to make changes - WILL do so and I hope they ask for your contribution. You have a lot of valuable information to share!
    6
  84. I've got notifications turned on so I didn't miss yesterday's Lesson 2 and I've seen this a couple of times already - it's hilarious. You just can't make this stuff up! Professor Sal - this is an elegant and extemporaneous Salute to our fine Coast Guard Services - wow! Thank you for your fine words! (but as a Canadian - I think your hard-working and fearless rescue crews and support teams could have considered 'tossing this one back - - catch and release style'... Thank you for picking up this Canadian nut-ball but I think he's had enough chances now... Yikes!)
    6
  85.  @DigitalEngine  You NAILED it! I'm a new subscriber - I had not seen the originally posted version - so I might have missed this. Instead, I've shared it with several! I think your channel - is gonna' FLY!
    6
  86. Youre episodes are normally very well done. This one is exceptionally well done! Thank you.
    6
  87. So much madness and sadness in the world in 2022. One positive... I discovered Jake Broe. Thank you for what you have been doing all year Jake. I've not missed an episode. You are wise beyond your years Sir. Merry Christmas from your friend in BC. Slava Ukraini. YOU - have become a hero of Ukraine Mr. Broe. Heroyam Slava!
    6
  88. I started smiling when I heard you say "Staff" the first time. By the head-smack into the spatter-screen I was full-on rolling laughing. Nice work Sal - and Staff!! My cheeks hurt from grinning so long!
    6
  89. First time viewer comments. Brilliant. Subscribed, liked, commenting. Graphics are fabulous and the material looks well-researched. I look forward to viewing others in your uploaded episodes. Thanks for the extra effort!
    6
  90. Sal, you are a very gifted lecturer; I'm sure your in class sessions are great. You do a fabulous job of presenting complex concepts and data in a simple to understand manner. Thank you. I would love to see more on the "time in port" and what components factor into that the most. I was surprised and disappointed to see Canada in last place - meaning ships longest in our ports. Although not involved in shipping in any way - that cannot be good a good sign for the economy! Can you tell us more?
    6
  91. A great update on a sad situation - Thanks Sal. Can you tell us WHY the tugs change their name - if they know they can be identified by their IMO number?
    5
  92. Heroyam Slava!
    5
  93. Your episodes keep getting better and better Todd! Thanks for your efforts and fine work! I'd love to see more of what goes on behind the curtain. The unsung stars.
    5
  94. Nice job Sal! Looking good too!
    5
  95. It's incredible that with the upbringing and background he had - not to mention his education and love for gaming - that he was seemingly oblivious to the trails he left behind. He'll have lots of time to reflect on that in jail.
    5
  96. An incredible creator worthy of our support. I'm subscribed with notifications on because I want to be alerted to programming of this quality! Great job!
    5
  97. Great episode. Fabulous outro! Fred, is it? LOL
    5
  98. Well done! Always, informative and well-produced videos from this channel!! Thank you for your efforts!
    5
  99. I had to make a second comment - - to recognize your EPIC close! My brother just retired from a career at Western (London, ON) - so I'm sure he felt your current pain. And - - fond regards to you Wife, (THIRTY + years!!) You're a classic Sal - who would / could complain about you??
    5
  100. Oh My - is it okay for Sal to have this much fun - and make a video at the same time?? Canadian here - commenting about a very 'USA-centric issue', the Act and both commentators here. But MY observation is that a guy named Peter, who goes off on some pretty extravagant tangents and comes up with his theories - has 'served up a fastball' after much massaging of the ball and staring down the batter. Professor Sal - at the plate - knocks dust off his spikes, plants himself - and then takes on that fat fastball served by Mr. Zeihan and crushes it out of the park. Sets a record for how far it lands in the parking lot I understand. But - - you know - just a Canadian's interpretation... You okay Professor? That looked fun - but draining!
    5
  101. Sure glad you find the time to make these great videos Professor. I mean Chairman. I mean Captain. Yikes! Greetings and positive energy comin' atcha' from BC, Canada.
    5
  102. At this rate - - poor Sal is NEVER going to get a day off!!
    4
  103. Catching up on some older videos Jake. Interesting how many of your predictions have come to pass. Keep up the good work. SLAVA UKRAINI.
    4
  104. I started to play this episode - while unpacking groceries...Then I heard a new\ voice, looked up, didn't see Dr. Sal and thought - did I click on the right thumbnail?? Just about that time - I saw the BRIGHT orange shirt - - and even before I heard him speak, I thought - We're good - it's Sal! Whew. Interesting topic - well covered. (Any reason you post in 480p? Would be nice to see a better pic.)
    4
  105. Your updates and reports are always enjoyable Sal! Thank you! Sounds like the new smaller video segments might do well with their own new channel; I thought this was the 'announcement'. And - trying to remain a healthy old fart - but still 'playing along' I've switched to 'time to hydrate' instead of taking an alcoholic shot - I don't want to be boring - but more H2O works for me!
    4
  106. Great report - thank you! New viewer; I liked, subscribed and now a comment for the algorithm! Get out while you can orcs - - Ukraine forces ARE coming to kick your ass. If you remain in Ukraine - you become fertilizer! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava!!
    4
  107. (Sound quality in today's episode is 5 X 5 Professor.)
    4
  108. A fantastic guest; as has been mentioned she has some very interesting insights. One of your best episodes ever. Well done.
    4
  109.  @icarusproject  An easy endorsement. You've earned it. Great work.
    4
  110. Fantastic recaps of history - thanks for bringing it all together for us Professor. And the new owner is... The US Navy. How ironic. But in view of all the incidents you mention and NORD and risk to internet connection cables, we, the West are Way behind russia in the DEEP water capacity. This is a real setback but I'm glad they're on the right track. Thanks Sal!
    4
  111. Incredible. The coverage you provide is equalled only by the shear volume of data that is now available to senior army strategists. Thank you for your incredible updates!
    4
  112. Great episode Sal. I concur with all of your views relating to EV's in particular and car carrying vessels in general. Something needs to be done to enforce better standards. I think you have pointed out that the vast majority of these incidents are happening on very few lines of vessels. Sounds like new SOP's needed and ENFORECEMENT!
    4
  113. Nice job on this, again! Also nice segues to the origin of the channel name!
    4
  114. Nice job on this! Fist time to your channel and I enjoyed this - so I liked, subscribed and commenting. Now you know!
    3
  115. Other that being rather shy and reserved about it, it sounds like McCale has an opinion all right.
    3
  116. Holy Shirt!! Sal sets the style! Have a good weekend Dr.
    3
  117. Thanks Mark!! Another episode full of good advice and scary examples of what can happen suddenly!!
    3
  118. Another great episode Sal!! Thanks for an energetic, passionate presentation - - despite feeling crappy!! Thanks Sal! I sure wish the powers that be in the Navy (and other divisions) would LISTEN TO YOU! You make a lot of sense to me!
    3
  119. We sure have kept you busy these last few months Sal! Thanks for what you do! I hope you enjoy some Family Time and the best of the Holiday Season. Merry Christmas from BC.
    3
  120. Did you say they "turn off the fire alarm system while they are loading"... WHY?? I totally understand how CO and smoke detectors could be triggered into false-alarms during loading - but what about the use of 'Heat Detectors' alongside the 'smoke and fire' detectors. This seems like an obvious oversight (SAVE $$) in the design and construction of these vessels. (All about the $$ - crew expendable!!??)
    3
  121. Wow - look at you go! Supposed to be 'enjoying some family time' and were it not for AMERICAN AIRLINES MESSING UP YOUR VACATION things would be even better! But I'm glad you're able to produce an episode Sal and I hope your luggage catches up with you soon. Thanks for the update. Tomorrow's should be a banger! That pier setup was 'a Cluster' since the beginning - - they sure didn't listen to you! Too Bad!
    3
  122. This must have been a lot of work. VERY well done. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for your professionalism .
    3
  123. "Disturbing" is a good word for this very sad and concerning situation Anya. I want to share my best wishes, to those brave fighters for Ukraine and to you and your Team. This production - is perfect, IMO. Production values are off-the-chart. Camera position and setting, audio levels in narration, B-roll and transitions, and the material presented, Anya and script: all, excellent. Heroyam Slava!

  125. I recently heard you say you guys are both in your early to mid twenties? And that you get static about that? Well - that blew me away and- your young ages doesn't 'annoy me' it impressed me even more. May I say that I'm absolutely inspired by your program, your knowledge, your passion and your spirit of supporting Ukraine. Heroyam Slava!

  126. You couldn't get me to fly on a russian-held aircraft for any reason - (might make an exception for a ticket to the Hague Trials but that's different). First they STOLE the aircraft and changed the laws to legitimize that, now they're messing with spares and maintenance programs. No thanks - I'll drive, or stay home.

  127. Brilliant as usual Doctor.

  129. Slava Ukraini. Keep "destroying those Lamborghini's with rocks" !! Well said Artur. (I SO want to be a tier ten Patreon supporter - and hear my name destroyed!)

  130. Always super informative Sal. Thanks for making time for us! Maybe have to rebrand the channel to "What is Going On With GEOPOLITICS".

  131. Always enlightening to hear your thoughts on these things Prof. Sal, you're si well versed in ALL of it. I sure would like to hear your thoughts on what and how to fix the Canadian Navy; I know you consult with many and cannot likely speak about all you know, but can you reassure me that someone in our Navy has a clue of what is going in - with (Naval) shipping? (Sorry - I couldn't resist.)

  132. Fabulous update Sal! Thank you for what you're doing. You have become The Go To Guy for the most reliable information on all things shipping regardless of where they happen around the globe. Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers!! Amazing! You've earned every single one Professor.

  136. A brilliant analysis Dr. Sal!! Thank you for all the hard work you do to prepare these lectures for us!

  138.  @PilotPhotog  Notifications are on - so I don't miss any! I'm sure it will be great!

  139. Great episode Sal! I love your enthusiasm (gratitude for being right long before this speech)! But hey Doc - you're preaching to a Landlubber here - a Canadian one at that! I LOVE the concept of having to have a toast / recognition when Alfred Thayer Mahan's name or preachings? are mentioned?? But I aplogize as to never having heard of him. Definitely need more info about that tradition!

  140. Another great episode Sal... but lemonade?? C'mon paizano - - at least 'une bicieri da vino'!! State Bene!

  141.  @wgowshipping  I have no doubt. You looked like you were having a good time. Still - - an amazing tribute to the US Coast Guard and crews involved.

  142. Did you get a new shirt Sal?? That's a great one!!

  143. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a 'sponsor spot' as much as I enjoyed this one! Looks like nice gear and the video (you shot or they provided) is ideal. I always enjoy your videos and I know that sponsor-revenue is part of a successful YouTube channel; a classy ad is just sauce for the goose. Continued success!

  144. The more of your videos I see - the more I enjoy walking with my two German Shepherds. Both on one side, on lead or off, sort of like an EDC or a CCW but no permit required. Thanks for another great episode Dr.

  145. I always enjoy your episodes where you "hold back" so much! )sic)

  146. Sal, gets to take a jab at the Mightt BBC - - and be right, of course!! I love it. I learn something every episode Sal. Don't go changin'!

  147. Greetings from a new subscriber from BC Canada. Slava Ukraini. I love your coverage - your energy and enthusiasm is formidable!! Just my opinion but I am fine with less coverage - if it's good. I do not need a daily video if it takes too much to prepare one EVERY day. I like quality, not quantity but that's me. Any chance I could make a suggestion / request? Would you consider slowing down your narration pace a little? I know I could slow down the playback speed but it alters the sound; you say good stuff but with your accent and excitement it can be difficult to catch it all. Slow down - just a bit? I also turn on subtitles; my hearing is excellent but I want to catch ALL of what you're saying. I like and comment and will run the rest of your library now, (on play all - even if I have to leave!)... I think you should have a LOT more subscribers and views. (You have an interesting channel name - for a guy who seems to be supporting Ukraine...) I'm going to start viewing more of your stuff as I agree totally with what you've presented so far. Continued success. (Get a spot on your wall ready for your YouTube 100,000 subscriber plaque... it will be coming to you very soon!) And finally, congratulations on 2 years!! Heroyam slava! PS - I'm a trained acoustician listening on a THX-rated sub-sat speaker system. Sound quality is good. NO sibilance or plosives issues! :)

  148.  @delukxy  I agree about 'Just Say No to Shorts' and on a PC browser I get to have them NOT show for 30 days at a time. I generally just don't watch portrait on a landscape screen. (I make exception for Sal.)

  149. Sal - please make sure YOUR AIS system remains powered up at all times... just in case the Iranians DO grab you - - we'll come and get you back!! Great episode. (when DO you sleep??)

  150. Nice job on this! Lots of references to history and events of past - and these are valid. But I think we've crossed into a new era. All of this invasion and, many of the war crimes putin has committed ARE ON VIDEO. Evidence. Much different from any invasion in the past. You raise some interesting points about putin's ego essentially claiming Crimea. He's not going to be around long - but he had better get used to having lost it. These russian revolutions are just beginning as the Western equipment continues to be promised and prepared. But now - even peasant russians who have been like sheep - are waking up and seeing behind the curtain of greed and power of just one man - and his oligarch friends. I think your overall conclusion is spot-on. Time for putey to get used to being without his beloved Crimea. CRIMEA IS UKRAINE - - and it's going back - to Ukraine, shortly. Slava Ukraini.

  151.  @icarusproject  I'm flattered to be remembered. You've got a great channel here. Just needs 1 Mil subscribers! Soon...

  152. Great update Dr. Sal. Sounds like they got to the 'dirty-politics' part of the BC ILWU fight. (I love the way you say that - 'ILUU''.) Nice of you to do the correction for the fine folks of Prince Rupert BC. I caught it on previous episodes but like the way you say ILWU - I didn't point it out. You're doing great work Sal - when not firefighting or teaching!! Get the Titanic model finished before Labour Day?

  153. Congratulations Dr. Sal. Every subscriber earned!! It's an honour to be a subscriber!

  154. I'm not involved in shipping nor do I 'have an interest' in shipping. That said, Sal has made it abundantly clear that we all have a vested interest in shipping, especially when he paints such a clear picture of the effects of current events, using logic and easily demonstrable facts.

  155. Remember the old saying Artur... "Happy wife means happy life!" You sure have a pretty girlfriend and she looks happy. You've been through a LOT in the past couple of years and long-term subscribers know that. Do - what you have to do - to stay sane and safe. We'll be here Man! Keep doing what you're doing! Slava Ukraini. Heroyam Slava! CRIMEA IS UKRAINE!!

  156. Merry Christmas to you and your family Sal! Thank you for bringing us all of this important news so professionally and so much more thoroughly than the 'network news channels' cover any of these events. You're the consummate professional Sal - we count on your episodes to KNOW what's going on - with shipping!

  157. Thank you for this brilliant analysis. Thank you for the work you do... Not always exactly the situation we want to hear but honest and trusted. Great looking new Merch!! Slava Ukraini.

  161. Sal, I am not able to Patreon but I am subscribed since 'Ever-days'. I view your videos, I like them, I share many and comment often. But PLEASE - STOP REFERRING TO UKRAINE AS "The Ukraine"!! It is disrespectful and is a russian conscript intended to demean UKRAINE! We're going into year three of this WAR Professor; now well past the time when that should no longer be said - please.

  162. An excellent job on a plainly difficult topic. Here's to reaching the 1 mil plaque in 2023!

  164.  @wgowshipping  I can see that. WE are so lucky.

  165. So... what are you saying Sal? Give up the 3-ply, fancy, bum-wipe... and become a Patreon...? That might be doable...🤔

  166.  @wgowshipping  They would be wise to have you assist Sal. You're well versed in ALL aspects of it - not just stuck in the status quo.

  167. The things I didn't know, I didn't know. Incredible. Thank you for this professional and thorough presentation. Subbed and liked!

  168. I sea what you did there! Man you really 'keeled' this one with the puns!

  169. First time viewer - subscribed and liked. I find it ironic that some owners (as interviewed) can say / believe that their purchase of a tesla had nothing to do with 'creating the monster musk has become' when it was precisely that. musk's hype of tesla ghost products and technology and the resulting one hundred times overvalued tesla stock is precisely how he became the richest guy on the planet - and evil-villain!
