  1. Great interview Jason, look I was really disappointed with your chat with Jonathon Fink on Silicon Curtain last night and the abundant "Trumptimism" you were peddling. I moved to Ukraine 11 years ago (Ukrainian wife) and we've already been displaced twice, lost a home in Makiivka, bought a home in Pokrovsk to replace that one, can't live there either now. I understand how buttering up Trump with compliments may have worked, but it is clear now, that any folly of Tumptimism is bunk. He wants to give away our home in occupied Donbas to Putin for free and Pokrovsk is partly surrounded, and will be a virtually unliveable after any "peace deal". My mode of income is lost forever, rent one flat out, live in the other. It's easy for people like Tump to give away our homes in the occupied lands to Putin for free. His entire admin is a dumpster fire, you are on our side and are a rock solid supporter, I beseech, you, cut out the Turmptimism. I would have rather taken my chances with President Harris and her new team which would have given us rock solid assurances, without Jake Sullivan. She was far more hawkish on Russia than Biden.

  2. What is horrific, is now the "civilised" ruzzians treat soldiers who make a mistake, there was a story recently of a 62 year old thrown into a pit without clothes for a few days. I went out onto the balcony with my cat for a few minutes in west Ukraine and it was freezing, I had to go back inside and let the cat look out the window on her own. Anyway, that's not the way a winning army operates.

  3. Great interview. When making comparisons of the russian economy people often compare it to Italy, but an even more hilarious comparison is that the state of Florida in the USA has a GDP the same size as decrepit russia. There's a fun fact for you all! If you go to the wikipedia page - List of U.S. states and territories by GDP - Florida in 2024 was 1.6 trillion and is the 4th largest in the US after Cali, TX and NY, this is how pathetic russia is. 🤡

  5. Pokrovsk is my home town, I moved to Ukraine a decade ago (Ukrainian wife) and settled there. It's my adopted Ukrainian home town and I miss it dearly. Any hope of ever going back home is pretty much well gone forever now. You are not wrong about the mine, there's a huge slag heap outside the southern part of town, I used to see it every week or so riding the eko-trail (a forested area with some lakes) on my mountain bike. Sometimes in Pokrovsk, you'd see guys in cover-alls with black eyes at the local supermarket on the south side of town closer to the mine (The EKO-Market) it looked like they had "Alice Cooper" make up on, but this was actually the coal dust!!! Great run down Jason. I like your monologues. Most people that do them are kinda boring, yours are very interesting. 👍

  7. Mick Ryan's a fair dinkum good guy. I used to live in Australia, grew up there, moved to Ukraine almost a decade ago. My Ukrainian wife lost her home in the DNR in 2014 and we had to abandon the new flat last year i bought in Pokrovsk to replace it a few years back. He's defintely up there with the other retired "top brass" like Ben Hodges, Phil Breedlove, Wesley Clrake and Admiral Foggo. I really appreciate how they tirelesly advocate for victory so that my wife and I and all other Donbas refugees, can go back to home one day after being IDP's in west Ukraine for almost a year now.

  8. A Great American and a true friend of Ukraine, for sure. Same goes to you too, any American supoorting the good Lt. Gen. and his advocating for us here in Ukraine is also a "great American!"

  9. I think it was the former world heavyweight champion boxer, Mike Tyson, who said, "everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face", well Czar Putin had a plan to over-run us here in Ukraine within a couple of weeks or so. Well he got punched in the face but now we need to knock him the f**k out! Force is indeed, the only other language (besides ruzzian, which is a northern Ukrainian dialect btw) Czar Putin and his cronies understand. 🥊🥊

  10. Indeed. You may like watch this latest video by a Ukrainian called Yaroslav - Are Ukrainians and “Russians” really the same people?

  12.  @Noddy2750  Because all of the coal mines are now in the occupied territories. Donbas = DONetsk (coal) BASin. That's how the name came about you intellectually-crippled, mouth-breathing, half-wit. It's where all the coal is. Those old tanks are still better than the Soviet Russian garbage,. A 30 year old Bradleys IFV took out a T-90 here, a tank Putin bragged was "the most advanced in the world". 🤡

  13.  @American-In-Mykolaiv  No, he's correct, I went into the sound properties and only the left channel is working on this YT video, when I moved the slider to the right, it was no sound. It seems you are the "Durak", American in Mykolaiv.

  14.  @American-In-Mykolaiv  I had the same effect, I have an all in one BT speaker, it's stereo, but there is not much separation. But I decided to check the balance controls. Anyway man, no hard feelings. I am from Australia and lived in Ukraine a decade (Ukrainian wife). Home town used to be Pokrovsk. Now the Mrs and I are IDP in west Ukraine. All the best in Mykolaiv, stay safe.

  15. I am an IDP from Pokrovsk in Volyn Oblast.

  16.  @awf6554  A simple look at recent history over the last century demonstrates that claim is bunk. 100 years ago ethnographic maps showed all the land to the river Don was ethnic Ukrainian lands, ethnically cleansed by the Bolsheviks. Now 100 years later they did the same think, drove out all the Ukrainians (all of whom spoke Russian there mind you). Russian speaking does not mean "is Russian", just llike english speakers in Australia "are not Englanders", same with Americans etc. But the toxic propagandists peddle the nonsense you mentioned without any of the aforementioned qualifications!

  17. Trump is a parasite, President Zelensky refuses to sign any deal without security guarantee's. A "shrewd move" dead in the water before it even took shape. The Turmptimism never ends. Great work! Keep flogging that dead horse.

  18. Yeap, we've got German charlatan journos still peddling Kremlin BS trying to blame us n Ukraine. There are so many Putin boot lickers in Germany , i's shameful, Fuhrerin Merkel and Gerhard Schroder were both corrupted by Russian gas. Where did Merkel's "engagement" i.e. appeasement get us ? Well all know the answer to that. When Putin stole Crimea in 2014 one year later she rewarded him with the Nord Stream II contracts. No punishment. She will go down as Europes most prolific useful idi0t ever.

  19. Because the ruzzians you listen to are truth tellers of the highest order ? 🤡

  20.  @normanboyes4983  This is an argument vatniks always make it's nonsense. when to comes to russia, as if they can buy a gazillion jets and tanks "cheaper". It's BS because they can only make a limited number of "cheaper" jet fighters (25 max) T-90 (100 max) tanks a year, so what are they going to spend the rest of their useless rubles on? They're already paying their soldiers more than a US army soldier makes a year. Inflation is double the figure quoted, so 25%, that's a 1/4 of their "cheaper" spending power gone. russia is a joke and we will beat it down forever🤡

  21.  @normanboyes4983  Not really, vatniks quote that price parity nonsense as if russia can churn out a gazzillion "cheaper" T-90's & fighters a year, when in fact they can barely turn out 25 fighters and 100 T-90's a year. So what are they gonna spend the rest of their useless rubles on ? Inflation at a real figure of 25% is already eating up a 1/4 of their "PPP" advantage". 🤡
