[@pretoasted]

I honesty enjoy how emotionally toned down all of this is and how 🪨is on all his shows. After watching other news videos or simply tv/streaming news shows, it's almost relaxing in comparison to their non-stop, super excited take on everything; While they end up not really saying much at all of substance. Here is the complete opposite; Cool, Calm, Collected, and funny. Happy to see Chuck come on again; Seems like someone who knows his stuff and keeps things realistic/in perspective. Keep up the amazing work! 🪨 on!

It made me cry for these children screaming and running , they don’t have parents to comfort them. , most of the parents are in the battlefield and some are dead , how cruel can you be Putin ? Where is your soul , these children will someday grow up and they would remember your cruelties beyond measures , May God comfort these children and protect them while 16,000 are in captivity ❤and prayers from USA

In my opinion, the American army as it now exists could beat the Russians with the greatest of ease, because, while the Russians have good infantry, they are lacking in artillery, air, tanks and the knowledge of the use of the combined arms, whereas we excel in all three of these. If it should be necessary to fight the Russians, the sooner we do it the better. Old WW2 quotes never get old ❤🇺🇸🇺🇦

[@NDSMD]

Berlin gave me the blues. We have destroyed what could have been a good race, and we are about to replace them with Mongolian savages. And all Europe will be Communist. It's said that for the first week after they took it [Berlin], all women who ran were shot and those who did not were raped. I could have taken it [instead of the Soviets] had I been allowed.

[@NDSMD]

Tin-soldier politicians in Washington have allowed us to kick the hell out of one bastard Adolf Hitler and at the same time forced us to help establish a second one Iosif Stalin as evil or more evil than the first.

[@realitycheck5902]

Putin threatened America: "Ocean's can't protect America from an invasion", as if. At times, Americans fight like cats/dogs, but we unite in the face of common threats. Putin's first fatal mistake was underestimating Ukrainians, his second was threatening her allies.

[@HungryGhost999]

@@realitycheck5902 agreed 👍

[@kevinwilson455]

The Russian elite know a conventional war with the US is suicide... it is suicide for ANY country to wage war with the US. The Russians will always fall back on their nuclear capability when talking about war with the US or the West. I'd give Russia 3 days before their entire command structure and army is obliterated. The UK has similar capability to the US but in much less quantity... I'd wager that the UK could go toe-to-toe with Russia by itself, using our strike capability with regards to our submarines with cruise missile launch capability, aircraft carrier groups with F-35's and our air force stationed in Latvia right now. We could strike hammer blow to the Russians and take out all their bases at the same time. Russia's ability to wage war on their border has proven to be pathetic... in a war with an actual trained and ready army they would be toast.

[@BluegrassStoic]

Patton was right at the end of World War II. He said that Germany still had a very large army & that we should have rearmed that army to attack Russia. Shalom

[@NDSMD]

The difficulty in understanding the Russian is that we do not take cognizance of the fact that he is not a European, but an Asiatic, and therefore thinks deviously. We can no more understand a Russian than a Chinaman or a Japanese, and from what I have seen of them, I have no particular desire to understand them, except to ascertain how much lead or iron it takes to kill them. In addition to his other Asiatic characteristics, the Russian has no regard for human life and is an all-out son of bitch, barbarian, and chronic drunk.

I was reluctant, in fact unwilling, to be party to the destruction of Germany under the pretense of denazification . . . I believe Germany should not be destroyed, but rather rebuilt as a buffer against the real danger which is Bolshevism from Russia

Slava Ukraini! The increased number of attacks inside Russia are coming from Ukraine AND from inside Russia by insurgents.

[@raylopez99]

Also false flag, recall Putin bombed his own people in 1999.

[@Tubernameu123]

Compared to the about 2 trillion dollars worth of damage Russia has done in well under 450 days. The $5,000 of surface damage Ukraine has done. It is tough to compare the two. Truthfully its not possible for intelligent people. The USA, my government gave tens of millions of dollars worth of drones - SwitchBlades - REMEMBER those? What ever happened to them and all the other drones? Russia destroyed 100% of them.

[@ragingmonk6080]

@@Tubernameu123 "Russia destroyed 100% of them." You are a Orc because that is a flat lie. We know what happened to those drones because we watched Russian tank turrets fly though the air.

@Tony: Shame Tovarisch that YOU don't understand the use of Switchblads drones, they are DESTROYED when they HIT their target, therefore YOU are right "Russia destroyed 100% of them"! Of course they USED their tanks, APCs and trucks to DESTROY them!

I was wondering why the "Drone" was flying backwards, now Chuck mentioned that the audio was reversed too! Maybe to drone was going in the wrong direction? Too far away for a drone from inside Ukraine. Classic FSB, like the appartment bombings to start the Chechnya campaign. "We are being attacked!" (Crying Wolf!). What would be the response if it was a Shaheed drone attacking Moscow? 27:40 "Hello from BAKHMUTA" (in Russian, not Ukrainian). Russians attacking ruZZia.

Well said Chuck. I wondered whether Prigozhin was behind the Moscow drones. He’s got the means to do it and he’s certainly got a lot of attention out of them by yet again slamming the “incompetent Moscow elites”.

Well done Ukraine for counteroffensive. The Ukraine's counteroffensive was training of Ukraine's soldiers and allies. Next, Ukraine's counteroffensive will be many, massively and continously so the battlefield will change from Ukraine to Russia Federation territorial, to arrest Putin and his gangs and then process of law meanwhile Ukraine's counteroffensive will be on going until Russia be darkest area in the world😂😂😂😂😂😂

A single Patriot Battery consists of the surveillance, communications, command, power, support and launcher systems spread out in up to 10 kilometers. There are 8 launchers with 4 missiles in each so one Patriot Battery in Kyiv could have fired 32 missiles each cost 4 mio USD. One night in Kyiv cost 128 Mio USD using Patriot. There is more than one battery in the Kyiv area.

[@boss1austin2]

Drones were meant for Air Force base Kubinka near Moscow but it was just an added prize they flew by the Elites living near the air base. Ukraine has more information on Russians lack of air defense system .Odd part of me would like them to feel the all encompassing feel of terror ,but then I would become the kind of person I hate

Excellent questions and anwers, you both rock! Let's support Ukraine as much as we can! ❤🎉❤

[@rubiconklbrutorowman7577]

Mr. Rock, Ur absolutely right on the money about FSB and/or GRU bombed poor ghetto areas of Moscow, not middle class or rich district, so that using that killing own around 350 or so poor Russians as justification to stone age bombing in Grozny. Since it is technically inside Russian Federation, no other country was dared to intervene, recall even Ukraine invasion, only thing Ukraine got was ATGW from US and UK. ONLY after Ukraine proved herself, weapons have been keep coming and more and more sophisticated ones. Most of all, the underpinning key point is that because of size, sufficient number of populations, around 40 million, compared to around 1 million Chechen, Ukraine was able to buy time to convince west to provide weapons and the rest is history!

[@annuki8795]

Hydra rockets with a laser guidance retrofit package are the exact type of munition used by the VAMPIRE system. It's a palletized DIY kit that can be installed in the bed of any pickup truck by 2 guys in 2 hours using common tools. The conversion kit allows any pickup to become a cheap and easy DIY HIMARS lite platform. Mankind was created to protect the Earth and all life on it, not to destroy it

[@lowellriggsiam]

The drone was loud like it had a Honda motor, that would seem to be one the Iranian made drones. To the best of my knowledge Ukraine doesn't have them, nor would they likely use such noisy drones.

[@war-painter]

When I saw them first in the middle of the day they looked so big and clunky. Why the F would UA fly drones like that during daylight into residential structures for all the world to see? Ukraine is far more sophisticated, it sure looks like a lame Russian hack job to make the wealthy Muscovites get with the war effort, since minimal damage ensued yet again. Dorky orcs.
