ABOUT:
Joe Lindsley is a traveller and a writer, and American reporting on Chicago's WGN Radio from Ukraine each and every weekday of Russia's full-scale war. He once was protégé to Fox News founder Roger Ailes, but Lindsley escaped that frenzied world where power mattered more than truth. He came to Lviv for a Ukrainian Catholic University journalism conference on Information Overload, AI, and Responsibility. Then the Coronavirus shut down world travel, and he stayed to build a better vision for the media industry.

I have a friend in Kharkiv. She was bombed in the first attacks on Ukraine, she called me crying . I said everything will be ok, then her apartment was struck. She lived with her husband in a tent ⛺️ in the metro station for over 6 months. She then got an apartment, this was subsequently damaged . She moved to another apartment. I told her to leave , go West, but her husband is mobilised. Can’t leave the regions. Not many women would stick by their man in such conditions. Ukraine must fight. She spoke only Russian her whole life. Some people don’t want the Russian “dream “
Too hard to listen to this man.
Russian Nightmare
Only insane people and useful idiots want russian dream
Guess they shouldn't have trusted the west and just made a deal with Russia huh? Its what I said super lourd the entire time the west isnt going to back you up for 20 freaking years, now all these men are dying for what? To decide which set of oligarchs are going to control that land thats why they have to do a draft the Ukrainians know this is bs too, if the west got fully behind them sure, I disagree with that but half measures is what get people killed in the hundreds of thousands and all of you that rah rah this on are to blame
'Ukraine must fight. '
Like the Germans were told to fight against the Red Army in the last days of the Third Reich.
The US told Ukraine to fight, and when it did, and got thrashed, the US abandoned it. Why don't you send troops ? You are shameless.
Thank you, Jonathan and Joe! I'm American and support Ukraine in anything they can do to defend themselves. I've never been to Ukraine, never known a Ukranian, but their creative spirit, thirst for democracy, and bravery is deeply inspiring. I'll continue to send financial support, call my representatives, senators, and President until Ukraine achieves victory against tyrrany. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦
👍👍👍
We need more people like you!👏👍❤️
Yes that American neocon Jew Nuland organised a coup in which Ukro Nazis came to power, and created the war. That is the American contribution. But Russia has stuffed you, and forced you to abandon Ukraine. Get it ?
Look up professional Ukrainian dancers. Look up Ukrainian Easter eggs. Try and get an invite to a Ukrainian wedding. Listen to gorgeous 4 part harmony Ukrainian hymns, Christmas carols and songs. Look up Ukrainian recipes. You'll have a good idea of the enormous talent, beautiful culture and traditions.
@@natalieturko4808 It was all embedded with Russian culture and traditions. You have become suddenly teary eyed and sentimental.
It makes me furious when I think of just how innocent Ukrainians are in this conflict, yet they are not being adequately supported by the world governments. What is wrong with these politicians that they won’t ensure Ukraine WINS while defending itself against an invading force? The morally corrupt Russian regime must not be allowed to prevail under any circumstances.
God bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 God bless Europe 🇪🇺God bless democracy & freedom all across the world 🌍
This has been going on for over 100 years and all our politicians want to do is get back in bed with Russia. All our leaders are just as bad as Putler!
Yes!!!
This politicans have figured out how a nuclear weapon works
@@goenzoy712yeah they work both ways.
@@bigolboomerbelly4348 Yes that's how it is
Love Mr. Lindsley!
Thank you so much for introducing this gem of a person to us.
His courage is so inspiring and should shame every waffling European politician -
and the US guys sitting on all those 30 year old weapons they'll never use that should be saving lives right now.
Joe is always very informative, i like him
Victory for Ukraine 💙💛🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦💙💛
I would gladly move to Ukraine, I am from the warrior tradition and I am not afraid. The cost of living is low in Ukraine, I could donate my time for free to assist the war effort.
Off you go then. Just don't expect us to pay you before the Russians get you.
@@francisdrake6093the Ukrainian soil is buried with Ivans like you.
@@francisdrake6093
Oh get out of it.
I would love to do what this guy mentioned but I can’t even work after my traumatic brain & head injury.
There are plenty of people that have managed to go to Ukraine to help because they feel it’s the morally right thing to do for Democracy and fighting for the benefit of creating a better world.
Amazing interview what a brave and noble man
Ukraine’s second largest city, and thousands of more lives are at stake all because the highly religious US Speaker is strategically asking Congress to have extended holidays during an immanent crisis. Sack him.
Aided and abetted by Biden's passivity.
@@laurie9557 What should he do then?
The Republicans could be using their majority in the House to prod Biden to do more. Instead, they wait for instructions from Putin through Trump, his American agent.
@@laurie9557 Intrue, ignorant and ridiculous. Biden has constantly advocated passing support.
I call my maga reps everyday to tell them they are doing a great job. You people hate democracy when it doesnt go your way, see 2020 when you supposedly won without winning a single bell weather something that has never happened in the history of us politics, but they know their base doesnt care about the truth, hell they hardly pay attention to what is even going on.
Totally agree with Joe Lindley! Respect and admiration for his courage and standing on the right side of side!!! 👍👍👏👏💙💛❤️❤️❤️
So true. Glad he picked up on BBC news which is flippant and degrading to Ukraine.
You know what? We have an awful lot of moneyed Russians in the USA, and England. My old time favorite, trusted paper, the NYT, has become a Russian mouthpiece.😟
The nyt has become a rag like the nyp. There are not any newspapers now, only sensationalist rags that are not worth reading
Must say,used to trust and support US..thats all gone out the window,unfortunate😢..very very dissapointed,frustrated and angry to be honest..heard lot of big words and promises but it seems that their words and promises arent worth much
The political situation in America is under attack internally so they will not really commit to any decisions till the election is over and the next president is in . (Assuming the results don’t creat a civil war).
Behind the scenes though, western nations are mobilising to ramp up industrial production back home and you can bet your pay check that this includes military industrial production. Just SAB alone is looking to quadruple their military production by 2025
My goodness...of COURSE...he is RIGHT...Jealousy..Putin is jealous, covetous, but has no skills to achieve what Ukraine has...none. I've never thought of that before. Wonderful interview - very thought provoking. Thank you for being there, for all of us, to bear witness to this extraordinary nation. I cannot believe Ukraine is left by most of the West to fight alone and shed their blood alone for each one of us. Jane Soole, 80 years, Dorset, England.
Dear Jane Soole: Thank you for the insights and good words. I've been to lovely Dorset and it is among the places I hope to see again after Victory.
Great guy, subscribed on his channel. This is how real journalism should be ! Slava Ukraini from Belgium.
Heroiam Slava! Thanks for the good words. --Joe
Big follower of Joe Lindsley's channel, and must remark that this was an excellent show. Perhaps my only criticism is that when Joe signed off I was wanting another 1/2 hr of discussion instead of the end!
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
A real pleasure to see you Joseph, and reflect again how you moved away from the Darkness to the Light. Thanks for your on-site reporting.
Call cowards cowards. The indifference and overtly complicit behavior of the US government is absolutely deserving of condemnation.
Ha ha cope harder warmonger!
Seriously :( If this were 1939, a whole bunch of current US politicians would be members of the German-American Bund. They would be telling us to stay home and ignore Hitler. They would be saying to let Europe take care of itself. We see how well that turned out last time :(
One might not fully agree the ways or the extent of the help, but Indifference or Complicit Behaviour (with what !?) are not there to be seen. And I've been following the events in detail from the first hours of Feb 24 and even the months prior to it. I agree B.Obama, (most likely), or H.Clinton (I'm sure), would have been more daring than what J.Biden has been.
Its because you are not very intelligent and fell for all the rah rah this about democracy, and freedom. Nah, this was about bleeding Russia, not saving Ukraine. all you did by rah rah this on is prevent the Ukrainians to make a deal with Russia somethin that is inevitable, to defeat the Russian war machine would take 20 years (see General Ben Hodges) and the west cannot stomach this for 20 years, all you guys did by pushing this was do what the power s that be wanted. A lot of dead Russians but a LOT more dead Ukrainians and destruction of their country, there will be no Ukraine in 20 years you fools
I call my maga rep everyday and tell him to continue to hold the line, stop funding this insanely stupid war. If Russia attacks a NATO country well thats a different story, we would have had the high road then, now we are just waddling around like morons half measures getting people killed on both sides
One of the most interesting discussions on this channel! Most impressive for its examination of the mindsets of those responsible for messages to the public about the Russo-Ukrainian war in Ukraine, the US, France and other NATO members. A welcomed examination of these mindsets versus concentrating on battlefield dynamics that tend to reveal little about why so many countries are at an impasse over how to proceed.
I am so impressed with Joseph Lindsley. I've listened to the whole interview from beginning to the end. I am Ukrainian, have lived in the US since 2004. I've never met an American with such a way of clear and inspired thinking. All the time during an interview I was thinking, he is thinking and talking like a Ukrainian, maybe he has some Ukrainian roots. I guess living in Ukraine for two years influences you ) Thank you for a great interview and what you do to bring the truth to the world.
Btw, I graduated from the University in Kharkiv, and my heart just bleeds for this city.
Thank you for this kind and encouraging note. I do not have Ukrainian roots, but I am Irish, and I suspect somehow there is a deep connection between the Celts and the Ukrainians. More than that, Ukrainians are fighting for the values of faith, family, freedom that the Irish and Americans used to prize! And the Irish and Ukrainians, unlike so many others, were never the colonisers.
Kharkiv is a city of possibility and inspiration! мало-помалу до перемоги
@@uafreedomnewsAh, this explains it. I had my own revelations during this interview. "Vikings on the hill" ) Counting Ukraine has a viking history, this makes perfect sense. It is historical memory code, throughout the centuries constant fighting for survival and freedom.
I could break this into quotes, that I really liked "Maybe they don't know that it is possible to be totally free".
Loved your comparison to a MAGA movement. Knowing lots of people and understanding where it comes from, they essentially want the same freedoms and rights that Ukrainians are fighting for. It doesn't make any sense they would side with Russia against Ukraine, it's like hurting yourself on purpose.
The key to understand Ukraine is its unique ability to self-organize without a need of a higher power and that Ukrainians in general are not fond of authorities. Not many know that Ukraine in some part of its history was a totally military state run by Hetmans, military leaders. It was during Zaporizhian Sich. All decisions were made at a council of Kossacks. I know this as a fact, that nothing would change in regards to Ukrainian resistance in case Ukraine would not have a President at all. All Ukraine needs is an army and Gen. Zaluzhny was essentially a Hetman. There is a saying in Ukraine "Where there are two Ukrainians, there are three Hetmans". 😂 That explains alot the mentality of the people. Ukrainians are always dissappointed in their higher powers no matter how good they are but they always love their army, because army are People.
Thank you again.
OUTSTANDING , JONATHAN!, EXCELLENT HIGHLIGHT on the IMPORTANCE OF KHARKIV! TODAY!, THIS .OMENT! 🇨🇦 🍁
Thanks for having Joe on. Slava ZSU 🇺🇦
You have hit on what is going on! I was going to retire in Ukraine because of the people's willingness to stand up for tbere liberty and freedom! They are living the closest thing to the United order I have ever seen. When I left Ukraine after getting 6 families to safty. On the way to Poland ittook 4 days. The people from the local community were cooking food and having therre kids passing out water and the food to all those who needed it. This is the same spirit that attracted me to retire to Ukraine! Satan can't have a people who have real freedom, unlike here in the USA! OUR GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIARY SYSTEMS ARE SO EVIL!
Retire to Ukraine ? To be buried when Russia's flying washing machine hits you ? Your foolish sentimentality is not going to change the outcome !
Thank you, i just wish politicians would watch your interviews.
A new high, Jonathan, having Joe Lindsley on your channel.
The poor chap struggled to articulate under those terrible conditions, but he's the most perceptive (and even wise?) guest so far.
More, please.
Thanks for the very fresh talk!
I not only learned more about Charkiv and learned to know a very brave and honorable journalist worth listening to.
I also smiled on Your great analogies on GB and USA on hindering them to go after the archer instead of the arrow.
Thanks for your hard work Johnathan
Great to see Joseph Lindsey back on the channel. I have to thank him for calling out the BBC. Their coverage of this war has at times been beyond frustrating.
Elon Musk should be made to watch this. I'm glad I did. Another absolutely beguiling and insightful guest that, differeces aside that I have with SC concerning military escalation, Jonathan excels at
Thank you, Jonathan, for another conversation with Joseph Lindsley. All the best to you, Joe, and thank you very much for reporting out of Ukraine.
🇺🇦 Перемоги і миру всім українцям! 🇺🇦
Such an inspiring guest! Thank you Jonathan, Joseph! 😊
On the sidelines China must be loving the feeble Biden administration. US image of a freedom and democracy promoting leader has been tarnished. Thank you for this great conversation
Election year is always chaos
Wait for next year. That’s when we will definitely know how switched off to the world America really is.
Once again, fantastic interview!
Thanks for your support to Ukraine. You're showing real stamina, not bailing when going gets tough.
thanks for the encouragement. There was a time a few months when the temptation to vanish was strong. That is normal. And instead of leaving I knew I had to board that train to Kharkiv--which is becoming these days a sort of sacred place of inspiration and courage.
One of the best interview I've seen. All categories. Starting from the banality of war atrocities then talking real politics and finally linking abstract concepts for most of us with being so concise. All of that in a hot war without sounding crazy.
I've a friend in kharkiv too since the beginning of the invasion, he is very worried rightfully, not by Russians but our lack of support. Macron can be the most powerful/important man in Europe/the world right now or the weakest if he cracks under the internal/international pressure.
But this definively convinced me it's a no brainer, even a small coalition of countries with France leading the pace, who is the only country having a credible nukes deterrance would be slowly a true game changer for Ukrainians. I see at least 5 countries who would follow at this moment. Maybe more.
Ps : I'm gonna relay and translate this conversation in French.
-a transcript would help a lot ✌️-
Cheers.
👏👏👏🔝
THANBK YOU!!! Once more, you knocked it out of the park! Your content is always excellent, but this one is particularly so. Interestingly, Mr. Lindsley mentioned envy and this is something I've touted in my circle whenever the subject of the Ukraine war arises. Outside of the major Russian cities, the vast majority of the country is abysmally backward. Add to that the deep seated sense of inferiority of the average Russian and their envy and resultant hatred of Ukraine is very understandable. Keep up the good work and Slava Ukraini!
Tremendously grateful for your work, gentlemen 🙏
thank you.
Refreshing interview. Is not so hard to understand the truth. Even for an American. Thanks Jonathan!
Good interview. Joe is a down to earth and common sense guy. Moral clarity has always been a hope rising out of this war.
Thank you so much for your work in Kharkiv and reporting from Ukraine. Best wishes from Norway
What a passionate conversation! Joe, you have a new subscriber on UAfreedomnews💛💙
Thanks for providing these positive and qualiative interviews (listening from Belgium)
Fantastic pod, totally accurate in every possible way. why are the success’s of Ukraine under reported and why are we still limited on how we defend Ukraine?
How is it France is now breaking away from the norm while the US is still, “erm,well,actually”
It’s like telling the Brits in WW2 “defend your country but don’t hit inside Germany”
Ukraine isn’t the aggressor!
It’s nice to hear, Great Pod guys!
Thanks!
I am tired of reading in the newspaper about Solidarity with Ukraine and seeing almost no effect done by it.
One of the most valuable and scary interviews. Thank you for inviting him.
Is it just coincidental or ironic, that it was the French that came to save the Americans in their war of independence, and are now looking like being the saviour of Ukraine in their war of " independence" ??
Yes, it is coincidence. The French King helped the fledgling USA to weaken his enemy Britain. Now, Macron is doing it to defend Europe and punish RuZZia for it's destabilizing of Africa
Thank you Joseph for reporting from Kharkiv. Many Kharkiv residents prior to year 2020 had affectionate connections with Russia. The invasion has changed that. In past decades I shopped in the large market Barabashova, and a few years ago enjoyed Shevchenko Park. Gorki Park was wonderfully maintained. The forests around Kharkiv provides protective cover near the combat lines. I now enjoy vacationing in Medellin, Colombia.
Thanks Jonathan for this interview 👍
Vive la France 💪🪖🪖💪
Slava ukraini 🔱💪🇺🇦🇬🇧🇨🇵✌️
Unfortunately I have been correct for a long time that US incremental approach means they have no interest in Ukrainian victory. I did give up on watching most news about Ukraine- I was not sure what to think any more. This makes so much sense, coming from a fellow American who cuts through the double speak. US has lost much of its freedom and this talk brings that out. May God bring total victory and peace to Ukraine despite all the obstacles and pure evil coming at the country and its people.
So glad Havana Syndrome was mentioned in the end the way it was.
Very much looking forward to an episode focused on the recent update on SC.
So important to get Americans to realize what the Kremlin is really like.
Some people need trouble to knock on their own door directly before they care.HS is that.
Too many are STILL either asleep or wearing rose-colored glasses.
Thank you, Jonathan.
Great talk as akways.
Thank you, Jonathan and Joe you’re shedding light on a very dark situation!
🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱🔱
Thank you , guys, for mentioning our Kharkiv Maydan that was very active even in 2016. I participated in this movement cos putler took everything from me - my mother in Crimea, actually, the whole family, now - my Kharkiv, the childhood of my kid. We live now in the shelter, but my grief is mostly about my fallen friends from Maydan - Igor Tolmachov, Danya Didik, Yana Chervona, and, of course, Gena Afanasiev, who I knew just one long day, but will never forget it...I will teach my grandchildren to sing our Kharkiv motto- putin chuylo la-la-la. Nobody needs the translation anymore.
Thanks Jonathan for another interesting interview with some truth being discussed.
Hi Jonathon. Geoffrey Robertson is a barrister QC and has appeared in cases before the European Court of Human Rights and he's just written a book titled: The Trial of Vladimir Putin. He is erudite witty and a nice bloke. I am currently reading this book which is interesting and very informative. What a boon it would be for you if you could get an interview with him.
Thank you for the podcast, very informative
I have welcomed Macron's talk, even if at the moment it is just talk. He is trying to wake up the alliance and somebody has to do it before anything starts to happen. I am also saddened how so many in UK and US who support Ukraine have commented his talks as "comical" or otherwise dismissed it. WTF? Is the problem that this comes from France?
Great guest speaker.
You go Joe keep it up...
Thanks Jon 😊
Another fascinating interview.
Is it possible that not everything being g done/sent to Ukraine is being made public?
A necessary strategy to not give Russia any ability to prepare or know what is coming?
would be nice but as regards the USA, it's just not happening. There's always backchannel advice. But the main thing, the best tools and weapons, are not being sent.
@aussie-mocha Well said, don't lose that thought! It's your logic and instinct working.👍🏼
...before you give joe's information too much pause for thought, binge watch his videos.... hisagenda is clear, unwavering, and has been conveniently attached to the Ukrainians struggle, to create credibility of content.
foxnewsers don't convert, they just become more creative.
Jonathans channel is the perfect host to attach to, because Jonathans sole focus is what's best for Ukraine, and his guests are historically the same -with few exceptions.... until recently, there've been 2 -who just happen to be from the samedisingenuousfaction.
This is so much information. I watched it 3x. Thank you for the upload of the interview. I didn´t know about Joe before. Interesting to link the delay in support for UAF to the global money elite, who are in fear of Ukrainian counter corruption if Ukraine wins.
Senators Lugar and Obama were both on Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, I remember seeing them seated at a hearing televised on C-Span.
Uplifting
I know I'm free when my civilised posts are magically missing.
👍🇺🇦👍
Yes It is crazy!
All my comments here belong on the ATipling philosopher interview on Silicon Curtain, MS Pierce interview, I can’t believe my WiFi did this to me. Many sorrys🇺🇦
Now I will go to the interview with MS Pearce and let them know.
Good to hear the voice of an 'ordinary ' American representing the best of Americans and all of us.. while US elections are on and Russian trolls try to whip up some antipathy towards Americans and those seeking support for Ukraine are having to tread the tight rope of putting pressure on US to do the right thing without treading on those sensitive tootsies..
The Russians meddled hard in French Africa, and the French are doing retal vs. the Russians. French now find it vital that Russia does not win this war. or else Russian influence in French Africa will grow and French influence will end, and French economy is very much tied to its generous trade deals and control over the French African economies. and currency
True. But I'll appreciate French support for Ukraine, whatever its genesis.
Control of the currency is now in the hands of the EU instead of France, but indeed what France as done in these areas was and still likely is absolutely criminal. They absolutely looted the region with that currency and other machinations. They should be forced to pay reparations. I was blown away after watching a documentary how evil they were/are.
And those African countries will see in time that they are better off with French influence in the long run.
Or… they might actually develop FULL independence where they manage make productive economic development and growth while trading with multiple business partners globally. Sadly that’s probably wishful thinking.
interesting, thanks
👍👍👍
And the normal stuff in a cesspit has spilt out and become traded as good stuff
What a beautiful story. As for blinken is he just hopeful? That Kyiv wont fall? Or will he step up and get America to help?
I agree with so much of what my fellow American and "L'vovian" has said especially about the constant reporting of the horrors and the sensationalism. L'viv has a violent-death rate during the war much lower than many American cities and we really would like to have more people come to see for themselves that what the news media does to keep eyeballs and advertisers isn't representational of how we live and it's largely deleterious to the war effort, not helpful. Go see Odesa and Kyiv too.
I also find huge fault with both the folks like House Speaker Johnson and President Biden and his administration's naive view of how to conduct the war successfully and actually win (something Biden seems way too afraid of). I did take, though, Secretary Blinken's words differently this week. I heard something more like "we neither condone nor condemn" which I think is more strategic ambiguity talking than actually trying to deter Ukraine. Maybe I'm just being hopeful, but the people in the Pentagon should absolutely know these are priority targets, else they should be mopping the floors and emptying waste backets because they don't deserve those positions and the associated pensions.
I'd also like to emphasise that what Kharkiv is doing in spirit is important, but it's not unique. I spend more time down south in Odesa, Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia and that's similar (being more extreme in Kherson and much less so in Odesa). Kharkiv and Zaporizhzhia are both within range of GPS-guided missiles fired from S300 systems (if so positioned) and their flight time is typically less than a minute, so there's no warning. Mykolaiv was like that before Kherson was retaken. Kherson, however is with range of field artillery and FPV and surveillance drones.
I'll cap this on the discussion of construction. I'm an economic development guy and I get a little cautious when people get excited about remaking eastern Ukraine to what is was before the 2014. It is the wealthiest, most industrial, and most populous half of Ukraine by far, but it's mostly that way because of trade with Russia. Kharkiv was a huge centre for international commerce almost entirely focused on Russia. (English proficiency in Kharkiv is pretty bad.) That trade with Russia won't happen again for generations. Connections in Ukraine's future are going to be to the west and south and we shouldn't discourage people or businesses that find proximity to the EU and the West as attractive from settling as such. The US has experienced a similar shift (for different reason) but it's OK to plan for that. We don't have the luxury of wish lists; we have to make the most of every dollar and euro we can get because reconstruction money may be a lot like matriel aid: here one day, gone the next.
It shows the incompetence of NATO. It's about time Europeans are finally putting their man pants on. Alleluia!
Thats exactly why so many of us Americans want out of NATO, people like you that think the United States job is to go around the world being everyone else defense force. How bout suck it
They didnt even care enough to close the border to get aid for ukraine, they go no they offered some rules for the border, but there is already all the laws that are needed for the border, yet none are followed, not a one. No new legislation will do anything to fix the border an every single maga voter knows it, so it doesnt work on us. They want the border wide open they have proven that, so why should we care about the borders of a corrupt slavic backwater on the border of a freaking nuclear super power, do you know how absurd all of this is
sounds like what Joseph is describing ukraine, they would be much better off staying outside of EU. EU is becoming like US with all its problems.
Sorry, it was non Donald Tusk , but Radek Sikorsky.
You are correct. Sorry about that.
@@uafreedomnewsNo worries, it’s easy to be confused when it comes to Polish politicians 😜
US will regret this no balls policy.
Excuse me, but when did Jake Sullivan say “cool your jets on freedom”. Was that sarcastic?
This is how I perceive the attitude, but not the words, of the White House's approach to Ukraine. They never mention the Maidan Revolution. They don't talk more about sovereignty and territory than freedom and rule of the people.
@mattsapero1896 Joe isn't a fan of the us government and goes out of his way to push the us/democrats/biden bad message, he happily highlights any event into a 'failing', formats and headlines the message, then helps the viewer see the 'story' as he wants them to. Ukraines plight is a convenient event for his bigger ambitions. foxnewsers don't leave the mindset, they just find slyer ways to blend in.
Investing in Ukraine’s 🇺🇦Victory will bring investment and blessing back to all who help!
America is like a cesspit for anything good or true or courageous.
Khuilo has converted Russian speaking Ukrainians to his greatest foe. Obviously a blitz always makes people surrender, or something like that.
I think the US is looking a little nervously at the European response. Tee hee.
This is toooo much. Why do western leaders throw aside a whole nation?
Yesterday, an American man on CZcams, who was of the opinion, that Finland will not be able to cope at all when Russia attacks, because there are surprising events in the war. Russia destroys Finland with a nuclear weapon. What ?
Ukraine's freedom is kryptonite to Russia, but it is also terrifying to the established elites in the West. That is what I see.
@bobjohnbowles Genuine question....why would Ukraines freedom be terrifying to 'westernElites'?
@@sujac664 people who have made or grifted money from the current regime will inevitably feel uncomfortable about changes that threaten their source of income. Corruption is a problem everywhere. The difference in Ukraine is that people are doing something about it.
Did you ever wonder what makes Trump's people seem so stupid. A puppet with a brain cannot be trusted
@@bobjohnbowles Ah, I see what you mean! Very true, I get frustrated when the' Ukraine corrupt' trope is recycled at regular intervals, for the very reason you've mentioned.
It fails to adjust to the fact that Ukraine is publicly chipping away at their soviet inheritance of corruption, and making a difference, they've been fighting it for many years.
The writing is on the wall. Just because an American is there does not mean Russia will not take Kharkhov. Russia will take Kharkhov, and Odessa as well. Kiev also is Russian.
Could you save us all some time by just listing any places that, in your view, aren't Russian?
The real question is will Kiev take Moscow and how will Russians react🎉🎉🎉
How can people like E Musk make statements without knowledge
But people in the US are screaming that Palestine must be free. They don’t feel the necessity of screaming that Ukraine must be free. I guess it’s easier to bash the Israelis rather than Putin and Russia
🇺🇸guys 🇺🇸has been spending over 2% all through Europe’s peace dividend years, what 25+ years?
With that expenditure we’ve gained some moral authority? Certainly we have huge investments and subsequent inventories that stand as a deterrent, Don’t Efing Mess With Us? And 🇺🇸can back it up. If we give it up every time there’s a problem in Europe there’d be nothing left to deter Cuba let alone Moscow.
Just an American point of view.
I'm an American. What's the point of arming ourselves to the teeth if all we do when we encounter a real adversary, like Russia, is cower and try to appease the bully?
Gonza Lira,american journalist lived in kharkov and was murdered by ukrainian SBU. Why,because he criticized the govetment. So much for democracy
Prior to the Russian invasion Gonza Lira was a self-styed "dating coach" based around his extreme toxic views about women, under the name of Coach Red Pill. He even advised Americans to travel to underdeveloped countries where his version of coersive control would be more effective. After the Russia invasion he restyled himself as a journalist spreading pro-Putin misinformation. What is extraordinary about his case is that he was allowed to continue his activities for so long before he was arrested. He was even gived bail and was only re-arrested after he broke the terms of his bail. There is no evidence that he was murdered. He died of pneumonia. No country in the world, democratic or not, facing an existential enemy would have acted differently.
US lost the plot

Disturbing
Okay guys, I think you're getting a little too close to this situation emotionally. I mean you should be close to it and I don't mean to sound insulting. Washington, Berlin, and Paris don't want Ukraine to win? Those are the places where aid has been flowing from. They are not perfect but they are providing support. Try to be a little bit more optimistic.
I think maybe you're letting some Russian misinformation get you down.
Unfortunately those countries have pro Russian factions and they can come from either right or left an they are embedded within their parliament. No real decisive action can be taken on the more powerful military equipment that could be sent because it is continually blocked.
German is withholding missiles that Ukraine desperately needs. America is withholding billions of weapons. Not sure what news you’re following. Being silly and blindly optimistic doesn’t win wars.
US aid to Ukraine ended six months ago.
@@laurie9557 Yes, I understand that. The Republicans are being idiots in service to trump. But France and Germany are still sending aid.
Your comment is understandable. So … the thought that is in the minds of many is that west is helping Ukraine “survive”. And ONLY JUST SURVIVE.
They are not helping Ukraine defeat Russia. That’s what we are frustrated about.
Evidently you can take the hack out of Fox News, but you'll never take the Fox News out of the hack. The interviewee's grasp of politics and geopolitics is not great.
@imipak23 the grasp of politics and geopolitics doesn't matter if you have an agenda to push. He's part of the rockrachon club, pushing their own agendas around the tragedy of Ukraine..
Jonathans work is amazing, and I hope he doesn't get pulled into this parasiticfaction, desperately trying to attach themselves to channels like silicon curtain, to gain credibility and warp the vital focus needed for Ukraines best interests.
could you please explain at least one or two examples of how my grasp of politics and geopolitics "is not great"? Perhaps if you could enlighten me, I could learn.
@@sujac664 and what pray tell do you think my agenda is?
Rebuilding now doesn't make sense it would be a waste of money and time.
Like is short.
First ?
