I love Ur vids bro, all the camo, and advices aswell as overall blogs and lives, its thanks to you my camouflage techniques improved, love you Dude and keep going!
Man that's fucking cool you got him on here! Int dudes that went out there are super fascinating, all those analysis techniques and learning how to process it all at the tactical level is very interesting!
Thanks for the interview- although it was long- it was interesting to see the perspective about Ukraine- Russia military conflict from intelligence guy.
Thanks brother, Every time I interview guys they usually last around 2 hours. I wouldn't have it any other way, these guys stories deserved to be told as thoroughly and completely as possible.
It was just my fault- having short attention span, i think You are doing great job since these stories told are and will become part of the history, no doubts about that. It is always interesting to see the explanation of the whole geopolitcs stuff from other side of the ocean, while living in country that shares boorder with Russia and Belarus. And it was also great time and experience to train together in recent exercises with marines from 26th MEU.@@Brent0331
Cool interview and it’s nice to hear about admin/support type roles but I feel like that would suck to go 18x, go SF, only to sit behind a desk and collect intel. I’m sure direct action stuff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, but it seems like intel/COIN would get boring fast and feel like a waste of training.
Boy, it's really a good thing *our* borders here at home are so well protected he can volunteer to go off and defend theirs.. Glad to know that. Makes me sleep better at night.
@@camojoe83you are bitching about our borders here not being protected but then claim you don't actually care about all the people coming in? Are you just retarded or is that actually your argument?
We already have Border Patrol, CBP, as well as several National Guard units there. It's not that the border isn't being guarded, but rather politicians not doing enough, not caring, or implementing shitty policies to deal with the problem. Also, it's possible to care both about the border as well as Ukraine. As the previous commenter said, if you care so much, go defend it yourself.
I hate to say it, but as a Marine Corps and Army veteran myself, I say if one "volunteers" for a foreign government one should lose all VA benefits, at minimum.
I disagree brother. Guys like him earned their VA benefits through service to this nation. Unless these guys as Veterans are going overseas and taking up arms against the United States or its interests, what they do as private citizens is their business.
@@Brent0331 I just got surgery and treatment for cancer through the VA system, in fact at one of the best non-VA surgeons in the area, because now the system pays for treatment at any hospital you choose, whether VA or not-- and the cancer had absolutely nothing to do with my service. Which means-- that these guys will be able to come here and get treatment for any injuries or medical issues that will result from their actions in Ukraine, FOR FREE, on our dime. Sprain an ankle or break a leg or get shrapnel in Ukraine-- no problem, come back the US and get it all treated for free on our dime, thanks to VA benefits. No thanks. Furthermore, would you say the same if they'd been fighting on the Russian side?
@@Ungood-jl5ep No idea what that means, nor is it at all relevant to what I wrote. I said they should lose all VA benefits, I don't care if they're retired or not. I'm not retired, and I get all kinds of VA benefits.
I knew 10 years ago Afghanistan was lost. A journalist from Australias SBS did a solo trip and report his verdict. Apart from Kabul and one other major city the Taliban held sway. The Afghan army was not competent desertions infiltration by the Taliban and country wide hatred of America largely due to War Crimes the US admits to murder and widespread torture as well as the accidental killing of civilians multiple wedding parties wiped out the MSF Hospital on every Map and Computer attacked multiple dead and injured. As well as the widespread knowledge the US was only holding the Opium Growing Areas while shipping it to Europe. The billions promised for reconstruction looted even before it hit Afghanistan total corruption of and by government officials, then looting the country's wealth while exiting to create economic disruption. The US and allied performance a Cluster PHUCK of Biblical proportions. What was achieved Russia asked to come back and help with reconstruction China the same and running mines pissing off US politicians who saw Afghanistan's wealth in minerals as US Property. All for a war started on false allegations and an attempt to secure bases near Iran and China. Will America ever learn NO a recent Coup in Thailand running Terrorists in Myanmar to try and topple the Government running Terrorists in Vietnam. Sorry Brent and Co you guys need a serious reality check.
After the overthrow of President Yanukovych in Ukraine, a new government came to power there. Which in its decisions was guided by the instructions of officials from the United States and the European Union, and in which there were many nationalists who acted on the principle "if only to the detriment of Muscovites." After that, the Russian side received data according to which the new Ukrainian government planned to terminate the lease agreement of the base in the city of Sevastopol by the Russian navy and was going to give it to NATO. This would be the expansion of NATO, which supposedly does not exist. After that, Putin, to whom the "Western partners" promised not to expand the NATO zone of influence towards Russia, "freaked out." As a result, in 2014, in Crimea, pro-Russian agents staged a referendum of the population on the annexation of Crimea to Russia. After that, Russia, according to the Western media, "occupied" Crimea. In fact, the residents of Crimea were not "occupied". Residents of the Crimea - "bought". Crimean businessmen were promised more favorable economic conditions, Crimean officials - higher salaries, Crimean residents - better social and household provision. And the Russian authorities began to fulfill all the promises. Therefore, there were no uprisings against the "Russian occupiers" there. And not because Ivan and AK followed everyone. But there was a problem - two territorial regions of Ukraine perceived the theater with the referendum in Crimea as the truth. That it is also enough for them to hold their referendums and they will also be annexed to Russia. And they held such referendums and declared their separation from Ukraine. After that, the Ukrainian authorities sent military personnel there to suppress pro-Russian activists. These military met armed resistance, which is why Ukraine announced that these areas were captured by pro-Russian terrorists and launched an anti-terrorist operation. But in fact, the Russian authorities did not need these territories, there was nothing strategically or economically valuable there for them. That is why since 2014 (8 years!) Russia negotiated with Ukraine and tried either to push these areas back into Ukraine with guarantees not to subject the population to repression in the future, or for Ukraine to give them an independent status. But the new Ukrainian government was not interested in this. And more precisely, their curators from the European Union and the USA are not interested. Someone really needed a war. Therefore, from 2014 to 2022, while the Russian curators acted under the terms of negotiations on the future status of the DPR and the LPR (the same two regions), and reduced their armed formations to the level of lightly armed militia, the Ukrainian side, on the contrary, conducted several rotations of the personnel of the armed forces with mobilization and training, increased their saturation with weapons, and intensified the indoctrination of the population, of course. And then February 2022 happened, which was just a shock for all Russians. Because Russia was clearly not preparing for any military operations: there was no mobilization or increase in the number of military units, there was no enhanced training of troops, there was no promotion of the production of the military-industrial complex, there was no inflating of military propaganda in the media. There was nothing at all. Therefore, the most popular meme in Russia then became: "- Listen, What happened? "It was Grandfather Putin who forgot to take his pills." But! For some reason, it was in the Western media before 2022 that the topic "Putin will attack Ukraine soon" began to appear. How could you be so sure? Or did someone already know in advance that some information would soon be brought to Putin, after which, as in the case of Crimea, he would "freak out" again? Because judging by the way events unfolded at the beginning, the Russian side in 2022 was clearly counting on a "Crimean" type scenario. It is likely that the entourage of Ukrainian oligarchs will displace President Zelensky, and all this eight-year idiocy will end. But, no. Someone really needed a serious war. In general, Putin was masterfully lured into a trap and now there is a war, but how it all ends is not clear. But the fact that Russia seeks to occupy Europe is nonsense. War is primarily a confrontation of economies. A country whose economy accounts for 2% of world GDP will be able to occupy the eurozone, whose sumar economy is at least 12%? The GDP of the USSR economy at the beginning of its collapse was 12% of the world, and then none of the serious European politicians were afraid that the USSR would seize them. What the former Prime Minister of England M. Thatcher herself directly said when the USSR was already destroyed. But the fact that someone decided to put the squeeze on the situation up to the use of nuclear weapons is not excluded. But again, does the Russian side need it? Or someone who is far from the main place of action, and therefore may not be particularly afraid of the consequences?
That's not true. There was no new government. The government in charge of Ukraine is still the same government with an unbroken chain of custody. You're not familiar with European politics - causing a dissolution by parliament vote and setting snap elections isn't a change in government. It's just setting elections ahead of time.
Brent thank you for giving this vet a chance to tell his story. I really enjoyed this sit down interview platform. Please do more!
When is somebody going to interview you Brent? Ive learned so much from you. I feel like you deserve it.

VA disability and benefits are completely separate from DoD disability retirement pay.
