Jake Broe: What Russia is Hoping For

@@AgatBluvsky-ow9gp Repeat the lies often enough, it will be true, hey katsap? The truth: The vatnik is almost correct. Like all r@ssiyan propaganda, a little bit of truth in a big lie helps you/them believe it. I will quote their account: «The information regarding the personnel decision regarding the commander of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Ishkulov Emil Shamilovych, has become widely publicized. The specified information is accompanied by an incorrect interpretation and contains a number of inaccuracies. Colonel Emil Ishkulov is a very experienced combat officer who has passed through all command ranks in the units of the Ukrainian landing forces, a knight of the orders of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees of "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi". At the beginning of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in 2014, he commanded the reconnaissance platoon of the 25th separate airborne Sichelava brigade, where he made his way to the commander of the parachute battalion. In the future, he successfully performed extremely difficult combat tasks, in particular, commanding a separate unit of the 81st separate airmobile brigade of Slobozhansk in the southern direction, and later for quite a long time of the Galician brigade of the DSHV in the Bakhmutsky direction. Accordingly, taking into account the invaluable combat and command experience of this officer, by the decision of the military leadership, Colonel Ishkulov will be appointed to a higher position. This will allow him to apply his knowledge, skills and leadership qualities, acquired during the planning and organization of combat operations, already on the scale of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It should be noted that the newly appointed commander of the 80th separate Halych assault brigade of the DSH of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a competent combat officer who is a People's Hero of Ukraine and a knight of the Orders of I, II and III degrees of "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi" of all degrees, for a long time successfully conducted combat operations in the of this legendary brigade.» So, it may be clear, he was not dismissed but due to a misunderstanding some of his inferior officers thought he was. The 80th Air Assault has been in and around Bakhmut area for years. This vatnik you reply to posts lies. There were no arrests, no refusals to fight, no "meat wave" attacks by ZSU. The vatnik lies.

Never forget, it was Trump, not Obama or Biden, who gave the Ukrainians the Javelin anti-tank weapons that were so crucial in the Battle for Kyiv in 2022.

It's a mixture of people's fault. Stalin for persecuting the food growers during his silly Collectivism debacle. The CIA's for meddling in Ukraine and supporting Ukrainian Nationalist Groups and starting Operation Red Sox, The Wests for not listening to Russian security concerns. Ukraine's for not being strong enough to tell the west "NO, we wont all die for your ends", Putin's for starting an invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s Acting President Olexander Turchynov for starting the “anti-terrorist operation” (ATO) against pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It's rather complex when you learn ALL the facts.

[@williamyoung9401]

Indeed. Putin is a complete fool. He's not an economist; he's a KGB agent. He doesn't understand money, which is why the Soviet Union collapsed. All he understands is power, control, ruthlessness, and orders. He thinks printing more rubles and offering signup bonuses will help the war effort.

@@wisenber You're looking at the trees but Jake is looking at the forest. Your post might as well just say "The border, the border, brown immigrants, fentanyl!". Jake just brought up an important fact. Orban (Putin's loyal lap dog) just did his own "Peace tour" where he went from Kyiv (to beg Zelensky to accept all of Putin's demands), to Moscow, to Beijing, to America. But Orban did not fly to DC. Orban flew directly to Mar-a-Lago. For anybody watching the big picture, it's very clear that a global game of "democracies vs dictators" is forming. And Trump is on the wrong side as he is siding with Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un. Do you support democracy or dictators? If you live in a democractic country, you are free to make your own choice. If you live in a dictatorship, you are not free to express your decision. Where do you stand on this issue?

[@wisenber]

@@christophermurphy4511 I'm looking at reality and not a parable or allegory. The reality is that Jake looks at the US through the lens of a tool for Ukraine, not a nation with its own interests that are far more varied. If you think Trump is antagonist to democracy, you're looking at a splinter in your own eye. If you think China hasn't seen the Biden/ Harris slow ineffective incrementalism as weak, you're about as cognizant as your trope.

[@MrGiselbart]

@@christophermurphy4511 No use argueing with Trumpers. At this point, if they still support Trump, then they have made it abundantly clear they don't give a damn about democracy. You even heard it when they argue "US is not a democracy but a constitutional republic" as if one immedeatly has to exclude the other. To them, it doesn't matter if Trump would get caught being a PDFile, they'd still support him aslong as they get what they want. Autocracy supporters are always the same, they do so because they think that suddenly -they- will become top of the foodchain, and that -they- get to persecute everyone they don't like. But as soon as they're on the receiving end of being stuck with a dictator, they'll be the loudest to cry about it.

I saw an interesting documentary that suggested the reason Russia became so authoritarian was because the central government in Moscow could not control such a vast territory otherwise. Russia in the 1700-1800's had very poor transportation and communications systems, so the tsars simply ruled by force. Infrastructure has improved somewhat, but is sliding backwards fast now with the subjugation of the Internet/TV to propaganda and planes falling out of the sky due to poor maintenance due to sanctions. If, someday, Russia can integrate better via improved infrastructure, I think it can survive and free itself from autocracy. Otherwise, it should divide into separate countries that can be better integrated, more responsive to the local population, and maybe more democratic.

Russia will not pay monthly salaries after a contract signed. I think so.

[@laars0001]

You basically have to prove you are alive to maybe collect. Dead & missing = a credit column addition.

[@ramonruizgiono3873]

You're right! The Russian Government just can't be trusted for anything! not even by its own citizens! and that's the main reason that even right now there are already a lot of Russian soldiers complaining about not only not getting their salaries paid but also even about not getting enough food, not getting enough water and in fact even about not getting almost anything that they need!

[@christophermurphy4511]

In the Russian MoD, "no body, no problem".

[@normanboyes4983]

Well they are probably only actually paying out 30% of those salaries after one year - judging by the casualty rate.

When you count debt as gdp, when bread costs 3 dollars in your country and 20 cents in Russia, when maxing on credit cards, and services count to the gdp......you failed to realise that what really matters is : what country can be self sufficient to survive and even be happy, is it the poor in natural resources, and poor in industry the Netherlands or is it a country that her industry can produce more artillery shells than all of the rest of Europe combined?

Jake knows I've already told him this before. Everyday you are beginning to sound more and more like the president of the /united States of America. I think you have a gift to feel other people's pain. You also have the determination to implement fair solutions to what's going on in the ongoing war. You have military background and you know what's going on in Washington. You speak very clearly and you care about the American people. You definitely are not afraid to speak your mind. People listened to what you have to say and they liked what you have to say. I've been listening to you for some time now and you are becoming more & more engaged on your channel. You are so good with what you do and you have the data to backed it up. Donald Trump stands no chance to u when it comes to debate, you totally would crushed him. You are smart but not cocky or arrogant. Las Vegas could really used a senator like u!

[@tedteddington6223]

This is exactly the kind of comment that stokes up racism. "Oh.. look at all the disgusting dirty little Russians off to buy a toilet". It's disgusting. Russia is full of humans that want exactly the same things you do. Freedom, love, a beer in the evening, a job that pays the bills with some left over for leisure. Pick on the ones in command, sure, but leave the 'little people' alone.

Great and clear explanations from Jake. Thanks Jay and Kyiv Post for sharing this.

Thank you - excellent interview - I look for both your channels every day for new fine interviews and news roundups and unbending support for wonderful Ukraine. Ukraine is a beacon for us all to set our standards by.How much they have taught us all in sleepy cosy wobbly and, yes, cowardly democracies of Europe and their wobbly leaderships. Many doing a huge amount now, but my goodness the delays have been dreadful for Ukraine which fights for every single one of us.

American policy in Ukraine should be, that Russia loses the war.

[@verttikoo2052]

Biden has been a great friend of Ukraine. Remember Yanukovych? Pootin signed Paul Manafort to win the elections for him and he did. After that Pootin signed Manafort to fix the elections for the Trump and he did. When Trump was the president he denied all the help for the Ukraine. That meant that nobody else could do anything. Trump paralyzed the situation. Trump was constantly trying to make money out of Ukraine. He was openly blackmailing the Ukraine. Then comes Biden who starts organizing. Then Pootin decides to attack. Finnish President contacts Biden and Biden clears his schedule. Plan is made. Finland into the Nato fast. And we will inform the Swedish. In July Nato members signed Ukraine under Finland. It is now Finland that takes responsibility of getting the Ukraine through. In Finland nobody gives a 💩 about what Trump or Pootin thinks. Finnish Nato HQ for the land troops went online this weekend.

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. 🤡

@@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🤡
