  2.  @alasdaircat  What is accurate, Ukraine has shown that Russia is the second most powerful army in Ukraine.

  3. What Jake says today differs greatly from what he said before. JAKE BROE: "If elected, President Trump will give Putin whatever he wants." 2024 "Donald Trump has made it clear he does not support Ukraine and he doesn’t want anyone else supporting Ukraine. If Donald Trump is elected other NATO countries will stop supporting Ukraine to not upset or offend Donald Trump." Anna From Ukraine blog 26 OCT 2024 JAKE: "We're almost a week into Trump's presidency. The Russians desperately wanted two things. They want all sanctions on Russia lifted immediately and they wanted all military aid to Ukraine to cease immediately. And neither of these things has happened. Donald Trump has this power to do both of those things for Russia and he's choosing not to." 25 JAN 2025 JAKE: "This is the Donald Trump era in which US leadership is going to be replaced." 6 FEB 2025 JAKE: "To my European friends you can no longer trust the United States." 16 FEB 2025

  4. Jake Broe, a former US Air Force, eight year veteran with no combat service is highly unqualified to make his sweeping assertions about so many strategic national and international topics.

  8. If Joe Biden, Jake's dementia plagued choice for 4 more years as President not President Trump, had provided Ukraine with long range ATACMS, HIMARs, F-16's and Patriot air defense systems 2 1/2 years ago, Ukraine would have defeated Russia already. Biden denied and then trickled barely enough American military aid. Biden won't state that Ukraine's victory in this war is American policy and spell out the plan to achieve that. For 10 years, most of Europe not only watched Ukrainians suffer and die after Russia's two invasions and annexation. In fact, they continued to send billions in euro profits for Russian cheap LNG & oil. Obama-Biden sent pillows and medicine to Ukraine and President Trump sent hundreds of US Soldiers as trainers and lethal aid to Ukraine. Joe Biden for president of Russia!

  9. Days after Joe Biden meets with President Trump to transition to his presidency, Biden lifts his absurd, fear based restrictions on Ukraine's use of ATACMS and other US long range weapons. Had Biden delivered ATACMS and other critical aid to Ukraine within days of Russia's third invasion, this war could already be over. Jake still argues a second Biden-Harris term was Ukraine's only hope. For years, Jake claimed that Trump was a Putin pal who would immediately lifted all sanctions on Russia enabling her to rapidly rebuild and rearm to fight again. After Trump's historically decisive victory, now Jake Blow says Russia's economic ruin is guaranteed. What is not clear is whether Jake attributes Trump's election for Putin's worsening war and inevitable economic ruin. I truly believe Jake Broe, a former US Air Force Captain with 8 years with no combat service is highly unqualified to make his sweeping assertions on so many strategic national and international topics.

  10. Here are some easily refutable Jake Bloe stereotypes: Just a few days he said, "All of Trump’s cabinet pick are all criminals." "This (Trump's election) is an oligarchy, this is a mafia state, this is a dictatorship." "The majority of Americans do not believe there are any rules. The United States is about to turbo charge corruption in every way under these two (Trump & Musk) and under the next four years we are going to allow it." Jake's 16 November 20 24 Q&A

  13.  @daniellarson3068  Jake's statements reveal a lack of intellectual honesty and anti-Trump bias. So Hunter Biden collects millions of dollars in bribes from Ukraine for the Biden family that Joe Biden now sends billions of dollars in aid and American equipment to Ukraine and that's character? Six investigations, multiple congressional hearings, trials, multiple raids and no convictions for 8 years. By the way that travesty of justice in NYC is not a conviction until the judge sentences Trump. Any serious, legal scholar knows the verdict will be overturned on appeal for multiple unconstitutional actions. During President Trump's presidency, no American ally was invaded and no new war began. That's tested and proven character that 76 million Americans recognized even if Jake and his followers cannot.

  14.  @brittadueandersen2519  So yelling fire in a crowded theater resulting in a hundred deaths is ok but not when it causes millions? As a former US Soldier, it is fascinating to me how many people sitting out this war are willing to sacrifice more Ukrainian lives. Ukraine cannot afford the continued rates of death and destruction no matter what they are for Russia.

  16. More Jake Bloe propaganda and trash America as the modern day equivalent of Baghdad Bob! Both the outgoing NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg and incoming Mark Rutte have attributed President Trump’s leadership for 23 of 32 NATO member countries finally paying 2% GDP for defense. He did what every other American president criticized them for failing to do. President Trump never advocated for American isolation nor released his plan for ending the war in Ukraine. Jake like all the other Trump haters raise fictional plans as though they know what Trump will do.

  17. General Hodges raises a legitimate comparison of Churchill's convincing FDR to make the defeat of Nazi Germany a priority over Imperial Japan. A better comparison of what needs to happen now to end this war in Ukraine is Churchill's & FDR's deal with the devil, Stalin, at Yalta trading eastern Europe and Germany, ie land for peace. Like the growing exhaustion of western populations for this endless war, FDR & Churchill knew their people had no more stomach for a hot war with communist Russia. Key to the 44 years of peace in Europe during the Cold War was trading land for peace so the US could rapidly develop a credible threat communist Russia respected-American nuclear weapons and technological edge. This led to the eventual collapse and reunification of Germany and eventually freedom of all of eastern Europe and the Baltic States freedom. President Trump's plan is ending the killing and destruction in Ukraine. This gives Ukraine time to rebuild and rearm like Germany post WW2. Putin, Xi and the Iranian ayatollahs respect President Trump and no respect of Kamala Harris who is weaker than Joe Biden. Putin believes President Trump threatening to give Ukraine everything she needs to defeat Russia if Putin does not negotiate with President Zelensky. President Trump will end Joe Biden's trickling barely enough military aid to Ukraine and his absurd restrictions on Ukraine for nearly 3 years.

  18. Heres utter incompetence combined with morally bankrupt indifference to Ukrainian suffering. As Russia bombs Ukraine, Joe Biden enjoys his second week of vacation and for 40 days Kamala made no commitment to Ukraine's victory or lifting Biden's ridiculous restrictions on Ukraine's use of American weapons. The Russians using air-launched glide bombs pound Ukrainian civilians sites but the Ukrainians can’t fire back because Joe Biden won’t let them use the ATACMS to get at the Russian airfields. President Trump, not Obama or Biden, gave the Ukrainians the Javelin anti-tank weapons that were so crucial in the Battle for Kyiv in 2022. For 2 1/2 years, Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris ignore what General Hodges says is so critical to Ukraine's victory: Joe Biden stating a Ukrainian victory is America's goal, lay out a plan for the American people to achieve that goal and provide Ukraine everything needed for victory. General Hodges trashes President Trump while excusing President Biden and democrat president candidate Kamala Harris.

  19. President Joe Biden and not the United States failed to lay out a clear objective for Ukraine's victory. LTG Hodges likes to say it's the US government instead of the Commander in Chief, Joe Biden to cover for Biden's incompetence. Like Russia and Iran, China willingly provokes a worsening relationship with the US because all they see is Joe Biden's & Kamala Harris' weakness. Weakness beginning with the Biden-Harris administration's botched withdrawal from Afghanistan, to then offering President Zelensky a plane ride out of Ukraine before Russia's third invasion and years of trickling barely enough military aid to Ukraine. For two and a half years, LTG Hodges called on Joe Biden to declare Ukraine's victory is America's goal, to lay out a plan to achieve this goal and to quickly provide what Ukraine needs. Joe Biden has done none of these things because he is not committed to Ukraine's victory. For over 42 days, Kamala Harris has made no commitment to lift Joe Biden's absurd restrictions which could be lifted in one day nor committed to Ukraine's victory. Ironically, General Hodges criticizes President Trump who sent lethal aid and American Soldiers to Ukraine.

  23. Alexander the Great's words explains the intolerable NATO infighting, I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a lamb, ie President Joe Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris. While Russia bombed, Ukraine burned and Zelensky plead, Joe Biden enjoyed his second week of vacation and Kamala Harris, democrat presidential nominee, remained silent. Same Joe Biden who criticized then President Ronald Reagan for his air defense missile system initiative that eventually produced the Patriot air defense systems protecting the skies over Ukraine, Israel and NATO as "recklessly destabilizing the peace" during the Cold War. Same Joe Biden praising the American Patriot missile systems defending Israel when Iran fired over 300 missiles and drones in April 2024. Many in the west severely underestimate Joe Biden's & Kamala Harris's toxicity. These two toxic leaders are unwilling to secure America's territory and are indifferent to over 150,000 Americans killed by fentanyl pouring across their open border. Europeans still think Kamala Harris is the preferred presidential candidate over President Trump who provided the first lethal American aid to Ukraine.

  24. Just days ago, Jake Broe said, "All of Trump’s cabinet picks are all criminals." "This (Trump's election) is an oligarchy, this is a mafia state, this is a dictatorship."

The United States is about to turbo charge corruption in every way under these two (Trump & Musk) and under the next four years we are going to allow it." Jake's 16 November 20 24 Q&A

  25. If Joe Biden had provided long range ATACMS, HIMARs, adequate numbers Patriot air defense systems and approval to use them in Russia, this war would be over years ago. Biden could have sent them with any of the 5 military aid packages. He died not and still limits Ukraine to 16% of the ATACMS range. Biden blocked the F-16s for years. The Republican US House passed a $65 billion aid package in December 2023, the Democrat Senate defeated it and Biden threatened to veto it.

  32. Because any public media spewing anti-Trump slander like Jake Broe does just days ago would be hit with multiple slander lawsuits. Jake Blow, "All of Trump’s cabinet pick are all criminals." "This (Trump's election) is an oligarchy, this is a mafia state, this is a dictatorship." "The majority of Americans do not believe there are any rules.

  33. President George Bush's resumption of Gulf War hostilities with Iraq was based on the same UN Security Resolutions of the Gulf War ensuring removal of Iraqi Soldiers occupying Kuwait and peace in Iraq and its neighboring countries. Like Putin's use of chemical weapons, Saddam used chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) resulting in over 1 million Iraqi & Iranian deaths and 5,000 Kurdish deaths in Iraq in 18 March 1988. In 1991, the US and its allies, including Turkey, created No Fly Zones in northern & southern Iraq to prevent Saddam's genocide of the Kurdish people. According to Brookings Institute, "interpretation of international law — specifically two U.N. Security Council resolutions- underpinned the No Fly Zones. The first was UNSCR 678, adopted in response to Saddam’s invasion of Kuwait, authorizing the use of force to “restore international peace and security in the area.” The second was UNSCR 688, stipulating the oppression of the civilian population in Iraq threatened international peace and security in the region." Saddam resumed genocide of the Kurds efforts and refused to allow UN weapons inspections as agreed in the treaty ending hostilities during the Gulf War. Jake Bloe's absurd declaration that George Bush and America's resumptions of Gulf War hostilities with Iraq in 2003 led to Russia's invasions of other countries including Iraq is what is criminal.

  34. Secretary General Stoltenberg's answer to a reporter's question about President Trump's "threat" to NATO unity: "The main criticism from former President Trump and also from others against NATO, has been against NATO allies not spending enough on NATO. And this has really changed just over the last year. We have seen a dramatic increase in defense spending in Europe and Canada and a record number of allies are now meeting the target of spending 2% of GDP and those allies not yet there have clear plans to be there soon." NATO Summit, Washington DC 10 JUL 2024 Stoltenberg expressed confidence in NATO unity during a second Trump presidency. Pyotr's and Jake's biases prevent serious analysis about critical issues in general and President Trump specifically. For 75 years, every American President criticized NATO countries' failures to fulfill their NATO Article 3 agreements--a strong national defense. President Trump's criticism had teeth and resulted as Secretary General Stoltenberg said today in "a record number of allies" meeting their NATO commitments. Peace thru a strong NATO ensures no NATO ally is attacked and will eventually ensure Ukraine is never invaded again. Pyotry and Jake are clearly incapable of having an objective and intellectually honest analysis of the critical topics they discuss.

  39. An even slower and ineffective response is General Hodges's response to Joe Biden's unwillingness to declare his commitment to Ukraine's victory in this war, lay out a plan to the American people to achieve that goal and quickly provide everything Ukraine needs to achieve that goal. While Russia bombs, Ukraine burns, President Zelensky pleads, Joe Biden enjoyed his two week vacation and Kamala remained silent. For 2 1/2 years, General Hodges, an accomplished US military leader, watched as President Biden, the buck stops here, denied critical military aid to Ukraine for years only to trickle barely enough aid and put restrictions on their use. And yet General Hodges cannot bring himself to criticize President Biden by name and suggests Kamala Harris who will continue the Biden-Harris half-hearted support for Ukraine with absurd restrictions is the preferred presidential candidate instead of President Trump who sent American troops and the first lethal US aid to Ukraine.

  41.  @jessehachey2732  Today Jake said ATAACMS are short range missiles and only ballistic intercontinental missiles are long range so Biden did not give Ukraine long range missiles. According to Lockheed Martin the manufacturer's home page" "ATACMS is a long-range, guided missile that gives commanders the immediate firepower to shape the battlespace." Years ago, President Zelensky asked for as many ATACMS as possible and not intercontinental ballistic missiles. ATACMS early in this war would have destroyed multiple Russian bombers, critical stockpiles and Russian bases. Because of Biden's delay, Russia moved these out of the ATACM range. Jake gets many critical things wrong. He is a US Air Force captain who spent most of his 8 years inside a missile silo. I am a 29 year, retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel with multiple tours on generals' staffs including the US Army Europe General's.

  42.  @stevebusfield199  Its more like gross incompetence. On his podcast today, Jake said ATACMS are short rang missiles. According to Lockheed Martin the manufacturer's home page" "ATACMS is a long-range, guided missile that gives commanders the immediate firepower to shape the battle space." President Zelensky asked for as many ATACMS as possible and not intercontinental ballistic missiles. Had Biden given these to Ukraine, multiple bombers, fighters, drone bases and stockpiles would have been destroyed.

  44.  @jessehachey2732  He’s a US Air Force missile officer whose point was ATACMS are short range missiles so not a significant threat to Russia. Like a mechanic calling a pickup truck a car when talking about towing capacity. You obviously haven’t listened to Jake’s absurd “rationale” excusing Joe Biden’s incompetent management of this war for the past two and a half years denying Ukraine critical weapons like ATACMS until Congressional Republicans forced him to send them. Had Biden sent ATACMS, GMLRS, strategic Russian air bases with bombers, weapons depots, troop staging areas, etc tens of thousands of Ukrainians would be alive. You call that whining, I call it outrage for Biden’s incompetence enabled by millions like Jake enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance. “Rational friends” like you and Jake and Ukraine doesn’t need enemies.

  45.  @stevebusfield199  Jake is also a biased democrat hack who debates whether ATACMS are ballistic missiles or not instead of the unnecessary deaths of Ukrainians due to Biden’s intentional delay in sending them to Ukraine for two years and then announcing the partial lifting of restrictions enabling the Russians to move bombers and other strategic military assets out of range. Like an auto mechanic knows the difference between a car and pickup truck, Jake should know the strategic importance of ATACMS and discuss this instead of denying ATACMS are ballistic missiles.

Unfortunately, as the pace of the Russian advance picks up speed and thousands of brave but exhausted Ukrainians are deserting, Ukraine cannot sustain these losses no matter how much military aid the US sends Ukraine.
