  1. If those not part of a military op do not know what the heck is going on, this is evidence of great opsec and mission accomplishment. So much of Russia's capabilities are consistently overstated. You know that fighting a war strictly on defense is now way to destroy an enemy like Putin and Russia. Ukrainians are demonstrating the same audacity and creativity as so many American Soldiers consistently demonstrated throughout the American military history.

  2. Since the war began in 2022, Congress passed 5 appropriation Ukraine aid bills totaling $175 billion in US aid. According to the Congressional Budget Office $106 billion was direct aid to Ukraine, for government salaries & pensions, "independent radio broadcasters, law enforcement, etc. Every dollar spent on Ukraine adds to the exploding $34 trillion US national debt whose annual interest payments are now $1 trillion or more than the roughly $850 billion US Defense budget. There is an active revitalization of M1 Abrams tank hulls and turrets sitting in stockpiles to save US taxpayers billions of dollars not spent to forge new hulls, chassis and turrets. The huge shipping costs to transfer US military equipment also entails billions of dollars and significant wear and tear on US transportation equipment.

  3. As a retired US Army officer with 29 years of honorable service, this was true until the gay, transgender and feminist woke told us we had to celebrate one's race, sex, desires, etc. Ever hear of any DoD Irish or European heritage or Straight Men's annual celebrations? Curious, how does a female with less than half of the male requirements on the Army's Physical Fitness Test do her job in the recently opened combat arms positions? Attending the US Army airborne school in 1996, males had to knock out 10 pull ups to graduate while females did not have such requirements. How is allocating billions of scarce DoD dollars to design submarines to accommodate female sailors enable the US military to achieve its primary mission to fight and win our nation's wars? As the US Navy's sex based response to the Tailhook Scandal demonstrates there is one set of code of conduct and resulting punishment for heterosexual male and another for female sailors. You may not have cared but the woke, progressive, feminist civilian and top brass leaders do!

  6. You must not be a military veteran. Decades ago, male service members were prevented from displaying pictures of their wives in swimsuits in their offices while female Soldiers demanded sunbathing in muslim arab host nations during the wars in Iraq. US Army "right arm nights" enjoying an alcoholic beverage are non-existent. Take a look at the US Navy response following the Tailhook Association scandal in the 1990's. Increasingly, many veterans are not recommending to family members to pursue military service primarily because of the feminist, woke, progressive agenda that vilifies white, heterosexual, conservative males while gutting the promotion of the best qualified with woke affirmative action promotions.

  7. My name is Ryan McBeth, a US Government contractor working with the US intelligence agencies, and I'm not a mouthpiece for any foreign government! Are you an objective analyst of US government policy? For example, multiple reports of Kamala Harris heading a committee to suppress information critical of the Biden-Harris policies especially COVID.

  8. A former Clinton advisor, Sean Penn, summed up the debate well. "ABC’s Bias Deprived Voters of a Fair Debate They called Trump out on every falsehood but let Harris get away with one lie after another. The moderators, who were supposed to be neutral referees, had decided in advance they were going to “fact check” Mr. Trump but not Ms. Harris. She enlisted every charge ever leveled against Mr. Trump, regardless of the truth. When referees put their thumbs on the scale, the game changes. The results have to be thrown out, we are robbed of our time, and democracy is drained of its meaning. A presidential debate shouldn’t be a staged wrestling match. It should feature two candidates on a level playing field so voters can make up their minds free of interference. Anything less makes a mockery of our institutions." 12 SEP 2024 WSJ Supposedly, Ryan fights disinformation and yet no stories about Kamala Harris's multiple lies during the debate but Ryan fact checks President Trump's immigrants cat eating claim. Trump's claim was based on multiple stories and police reports of residents in Springfield, Ohio. According to DHS IG, Kamala lied about being in the US Capital on January 6 when she was actually at the DNC HQ.

  12. Ryan, as a contractor paid by the US Government who signed a non-disclosure agreement, would it be fair to say at best you won't "bite the hand that feeds you" and at worst you might help the US government intel and law enforcement agencies spread their narrative as their "mouthpiece"? You may not push aid to Ukraine but you won't criticize Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for never stating clear objectives and a plan to achieve them for the war in Ukraine. Is it only Russian government money that influences what people say?

  14. When America's allies awaken to an existential threat having slept for decades, thousands of Americans bleed and die to save them from their foolish decisions. A modern twist on Winston Churchill's quote:, America's allies always count on the Americans to do the right thing after her allies screw everything up.”

  15. The American "industrial complex" is Congress who bloats the cost of most weapons systems development and manufacturing. For example, Congress required components come from almost every State for the the US Air Force's C-17 Globemaster. Those members of the US House and Senate Armed Forces and appropriations committees often make critical decisions based on monetary gain for their constituencies instead of primarily based on the military services' capabilities and requirement projections as well as threat analysis. It's crony capitalism instead of national defense priorities.

  16. This 29 year US Army vet, appreciates you passionate and creative thinking to help with retention! One of the biggest drags on Soldiers' morale is the separate and unequal standards for female Soldiers who always received equal pay but not equal work standards. Then US Army Chief of Staff Mark Milley declared all combat positions including the elite fighting units like Rangers, Special Forces, etc open to females because they could do whatever a male Soldier could do. To this day, female Army Physical Fitness Standards (APFT) height, wieght and body fat ratios are considerably lower than the male standards. For decades, male Airborne school trainees had to complete 10 pull ups at the end of the morning Physical Training or dropped from the course. That standard was always waived for females. Additionally, pregnant female Soldiers avoid combat tours, work details and other MOS specific requirements for their 9 month pregnancy and additional 180 days after birth. Other Soldiers most often the males pulled extra duty or deployed to combat on short notice. Female Soldiers wisely but unfairly often completed college courses during this time giving them an unfair advantage over their male peers on promotion boards. A national draft is highly likely in the event of a war with a near peer enemy, females should register for the draft at 18 just like American males and face the same penalties for failing to do so. Doing this would not only help with the recruitment and retention of male Soldiers but actually support and defend the US Constitution they swore to defend!

  17. Shocking, liberals and the American left spreading political disinformation to affect an American election??!! Mark Zuckerberg admits that under pressure FaceBook censored comments, editorials and comedic comments critical of the Biden & US government COVID policies. Additionally, FB enabled Joe Biden's, 51 former US intelligence officers' and most major US media outlets' lie that Hunter's lap top was Russian disinformation. This suppression of information exposing Hunter Biden's laptop and the Biden Crime Family's corruption definitely influenced the US election in Biden's favor.

  18. Ryan, I commend you for admitting you were wrong but then you you double down on your never Trump efforts introducing a new Trump conspiracy--complicit in war crimes in Afghanistan demonstrating your willingness to get misinformation out about Trump and make money trashing him. Bret Stephens, an ardent never Trump critic, might be a good role model for you. Could (Trump's) second term be as bad as his most fervent critics fear? Yes. Is it time to drop the heavy moralizing and incessant doomsaying that typified so much of the Never Trump movement — and that rendered it politically impotent and frequently obtuse? Yes, please. It’s Trump’s sulfurous contempt for that elite (a self-satisfied elite that thinks it knows better but often doesn’t) — his refusal to be shaped by their norms or shamed by their scorn and his willingness to call out their hypocrisy — that makes him a hero to his followers." Bret Stephens NYT 17 DEC 2024 If you continue down the same never Trump path that abc, cnn, msnbc and the rest of the media mob, your credibility will join their record low of trustworthiness too.

  20. Amazing transformation in 24 hours of the same Ryan declaring Russia's dirty money and misinformation corrupted the American election so the corrupted "right wing American media" could get Trump elected president. Now magically, Ryan see's the brilliance of President Trump putting an end to the unsustainable death and destruction in Ukraine to focus on ending the war in the middle east while rapidly preparing for the imminent war with China in the South China Sea. Ryan exemplifies victory has many fathers but disproven democrat, never-Trump lies and pro-Kamala Harris disinformation are orphans. All the never-Trumpers want to be on the winning team now.

  22. Would that include vets like John Kerry who for personal political gain described the US military as employing Ganges Khan type tactics in Vietnam? How about Tim Walz who disparaged every veteran who served honorably without serving in a combat zone by abandoning his unit on deployment orders and embellishing his military record claiming combat duty? Those kind of veterans?

  25. Right on time to stoke division among Americans during another close election, the latest Russian collusion stories. Ryan, I missed your story about felon Hunter Biden's violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) — which could implicate his father, President Biden who is sending billions of dollars in aid to Ukraine. Certainly, you covered the former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell's Congressional testimony that then-Biden campaign senior adviser, now-Secretary of State Antony Blinken "played a role in the inception" of the public statement signed by current and past intelligence officials claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. Aren't you curious why there is no information from President Zelensky's promised investigation to then President Trump during the famous phone call? For five years and while billons of American dollars pour into Ukraine, there is no information from Ukraine about the Joe Biden coercion and corruption. Just coincidence, right? That video of VP Joe Biden boasting of pressuring the Ukrainian government to fire the lead Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's corruption must be Russian disinformation too.

  28. Like President Zelensky paying then US Vice President Biden's son millions of dollars of Ukrainian money while Joe Biden boasts of withholding US aid to Ukraine unless they fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden for corruption. Now President Biden gifts Zelensky with billions of American tax dollars and military equipment. Nothing like Zelensky's gift enabling the Joe Biden crime family's theft of millions of Ukrainian taxpayers money. Meanwhile, Ukraine burns, Zelensky pleads and Joe Biden vacations.

  33. Especially when Zelensky pays then US Vice President Biden's son millions of dollars and then VP Biden boasts of withholding US aid to Ukraine unless they fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden for corruption. Then Zelensky promising to investigate the firing of the Ukrainian prosecutor leaks his phone conversation with then President Trump, VP Biden's political opponent. No need to wonder why so many like you ignore the most critical point: Zelensky's aiding and abetting the Joe Biden crime family's theft of millions of Ukrainian taxpayers money and billions of dollars worth of US taxpayer money. Ukraine burns, Zelensky pleads and Joe Biden vacations.

  34. Here's some disinformation consistently allowed to stand that flies in the face of more emotional truth. "Kamala has not been asked once about her husband, Doug, whose ex-girlfriend accused him of slapping her in the face so hard she spun around — in public, outside an A-list gala — and of impregnating the nanny during his first marriage. Instead, Harris gets to return, over and over again, to her assertion that she is a protector of girls and women, a claim much of the mainstream media happily promotes." Maureen Callahan

  35. Ever suspect VP and now President Joe Biden was a traitor? President Zelensky's government paid then VP Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, millions in bribes receives billions of dollars in US military and other aid to Ukraine from now President Biden, right! Same Zelensky who has nothing to say about the sacking of the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter's corruption. Same prosecutor that Joe Biden bragged about threatening to withhold US aid if he wasn't sacked. Just "right wing" blogger crazy talk paid for by Russia? Same Hunter who just plead guilty for failing to pay taxes on those and millions of dollars more in other foreign bribes. Nothing suspicious that the same Joe Biden US federal agencies pushing multiple indictments against President Trump and claiming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian collusion.

  36. Certainly no skeptics of President Zelensky and the Biden crime family! Zelensky pays then US Vice President Biden's son millions of dollars while then VP Biden boasts of withholding US aid to Ukraine unless they fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden for corruption. President Biden sends billions of actual American dollars or military equipment to Ukraine. Ukraine burns, Zelensky pleads and Joe Biden vacations.

  37. Just the rational skeptics having endured 8 years of the same tired Russian collusion stories about President Trump. Those especially skeptical knowing President Zelensky's government paid then VP Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, millions in bribes now receives billions of dollars in US military and other aid to Ukraine from no President Biden! Same Zelensky saying nothing about the sacking of the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter's corruption. Same prosecutor Joe Biden bragged about threatening to withhold US aid if he wasn't sacked. Same skeptics who just heard Hunter plead guilty for failing to pay taxes on those million dollar bribes. Are you skeptical that the same Joe Biden US federal agencies pushing multiple indictments against President Trump and claiming Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian collusion now claim "right wing" media supporting Trump's election are colluding with Russia? Are you ever skeptical that Jake never mentions these facts?

  38. As a US veteran, you should understand that China controls almost all of the rare earth minerals are controlled by China. Rare earth minerals are used in the manufacturing of missile guidance systems, (ATACMS, HIMAR, Patriot missiles), aircraft engines (f-16 fighters), range finders (M1 Abrams tanks, Bradley IFV), and night vision goggles. All of the money Europe sent Ukraine are loans they expect Ukraine to repay. The interest rate on the exploding national debt is now more than the entire US defense budget. No rare earth minerals, no manufacture US weapons. Wake up!

  39.  @randy7068  Always tell the people who have nothing intelligent to say. They open their mouths repeating stupid lies. China controls most of the rare earth minerals and Ukraine does not have the means to mine and process them. Europe will be repaid the billions it sent to Ukraine but the US is expected to give hundreds of billions of dollars and equipment needed for the coming war with China. Good luck getting more US weapons without the rare earth minerals needed to produce missile guidance systems and F-16 fighter engines. Pretty stupid to bite the hand defending you.

  41. Since you are rightly concerned about disinformation why don't you every talk about 51 US intel & law enforcement officials and Anthony Blinken claiming Hunter Biden's laptop in the FBI's possession's was Russian disinformation significantly contributing to Joe Biden's election as president? Why don't you talk about the $106 billion dollars in direct financial aid sent to the Ukrainian government that paid Hunter Biden millions of dollars for a job he had no qualifications for and while his father was Vice President? Prior to the election you were concerned about Russian money flowing to "right wing" media, ie friendly to Trump, but seemingly unconcerned about President Biden sending billions to the same Ukrainian government that shut down the then prosecutor's investigation into corruption at Burismo paying Hunter Biden? Those millions of dollars paid to the Biden's did not corrupt President Joe Biden's decision making about Ukraine?

  42.  @Steelmage99  Simple google would reveal the answer. US Congressional appropriation bills: 2022 April 13.6 billion, June $40.9b, October $12.3b, 2023 JAN $47.4b, April $61.3b. Biden has also sent billions of dollars in excess US military aid.

  43. Information is like fresh water that stays fresh by only taking in fresh water. Once a source demonstrates it’s sewage leave it. Remember all those media sources pushing Hillary’s Russian collusion hoax and ignore them. The truth is confirmed by multiple, reliable sources. For example, the latest disinformation is Trump wants generals loyal like Hitler’s according to retired General John Kelly. Multiple Trump staffers in the room confirmed this is a lie. Ignore Kelly as a source and the media outlets pushing it.

  46. Iran's military, economic and political vitality and capabilities are greatly exaggerated. As their "impotence" was clearly revealed with their first attack. In addition to American destroyers and cruisers, a squadron of highly capable F-22 raptors arrived in the theater as well as other capabilities in eastern Europe. My friends in Ukraine who talk with Ukrainians fighting on the front lines tell me that the corruption is so bad in Ukraine from the lowest to the highest political and military levels, most Ukrainians refuse to join the battle weary, brave Ukrainians fighting on the frontlines. Because of the corruption most of the critical individual weapons and personal protection gear are not making to the frontline Soldiers. So the average Ukrainian male hides in their homes to avoid being forcibly conscripted to fight with only minimal training and equipment on the frontlines.

  47. New Missiles Won’t Change Ukraine’s Broken War Math
 " Foreseeable from the war’s early days that Kyiv would run out of people to serve in its army. With a much smaller population than its Russian adversary and a conscription age for men of 27 (now 25), Ukraine benefited initially from a surge in patriotism that brought in new recruits. As this effect wore off and high casualty rates set in, manpower shortages quickly became a limiting factor on Kyiv’s war effort and its capacity to absorb and productively deploy U.S. aid as it arrived. Kyiv’s inability to spare personnel from the front lines constrained the length and reach of Western-led training programs intended to teach Ukrainian soldiers how to use new U.S. equipment. In addition to personnel constraints, other math problems continue to work against Ukraine. Ukraine’s insatiable need for 155 mm ammunition—estimated to be at least 4 million shells per year Washington quickly burned through what it could pull from its own reserves. New production has increased to almost 1 million shells per year. " 21 NOV 2024 Foreign Policy

  48. But you wouldn't check if President Zelensky who paid President Biden's son, Hunter, millions of dollars in bribes said it was wet? How about Joe Biden boasting of withholding US aid to Ukraine unless they fire the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden's corruption or Hunter Biden who plead guilty to failing to pay taxes on those bribes? Why would anyone be critical of President Biden sending billions of American taxpayer money and military equipment to Ukraine to fight a war Biden never committed to win nor laid out a plan to achieve it. No, you only check those who tell you your are all wet that while Ukraine burns, Zelensky pleads and Joe Biden vacations. Make that make sense after 8 years of Russian collusion stories!

Looking forward to your podcast on NY Times recent story: Left-Wing Misinformation Is Having a Moment "For years, the discussion about misinformation online has focused on falsehoods circulating on the American right. But in recent weeks, a flurry of conspiracy theories and false narratives have also been swirling on the left. Some misinformation researchers are worried that the new spate of left-leaning conspiracy theories could further polarize political discourse before the November election." NY Times

  50.  @estusflask982  Exactly and the vast majority of western media compared to the handful of "right wing media". For every Fox News, there is CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, PBS. Why are most of Ryan's podcasts as a US government contractor focused on those 'right wing" critics of the US government especially its endless war in Ukraine?
