[@claireanddexter]

I am in awe. This was one of the best discussions EVER, EVER!

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

You are lovely to read... and funny.

[@johncromwell2529]

Legendary work mates👍👏🙏🇺🇦💪

[@claireanddexter]

hello you fabulous men!!! What joy! wish I had caught you live! Great explanation of the value of the cars!

[@takingbacktheplanet]

thanks again Jon! most excellent interview on Silicon Curtain yet again, in the interesting 3-man format :).

[@Grahamgusbull]

Superb session, thank you ❤️🇬🇧🇺🇦

[@RichardDemmy]

Lovely stream ..enjoyed it, thank you

[@tedbrooks7020]

Another great discussion by Silicon Curtain..thanks..Aussie Ted..proud of our contribution almost 2 billion to Ukraine thus far🤠

[@ZazaFetterly]

Very insightful. Than you. Zaza from cslifornia

[@robertgscott3955]

Thank you for this un-varnished information. I wish I could help change the situation there, all I can do is donate as much money as I can and spread the word to as many people as I can and be ok with that. Glory to Ukraine!

[@sunflower-tz]

Thank you for a great comversation. Rewarding Russia in any way for their illegal invasion would be a huge mistake. Donbas/Crimea are part of Ukraine and should be returned to Ukraine. Ukrainians who were forced to take Russian ID can revert, and imported Russians can remain as Ukrainians or go back to Russia.

[@ZuleidisRuiz]

Slava Ukraine!❤🇺🇦🕊️🗽🩵💛

[@claireanddexter]

Excellent discussion on lethal aid! Bravo!

[@irongron]

In my region, most of the scheduled power cuts didn't happen and we've had power for most days, except one or two her and there the last couple of weeks. I still freak out using the lifts, but that's how it rolls here. One of many hassles.

[@ninemoonplanet]

It's a big headache, but I have grown up with Ukranian people descendants of Ukraine and if anyone can be described as stubborn, hard working, it's Ukranian people.

[@lipgloss202]

Was great! Take care team!

SLAVA UKRAINE! 💙💛✌😊 KRENLIN DELENDA EST

[@martinlye2748]

That was a very good live for a great cause.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Stay strong, Martin!

[@bens461]

I tried listening to Willy OAM but it was clear he couldn’t hide his support for russia . Just read his comments section and you get a clear view of which side of the conflict listens to him . Great conversation team thank you 😊

[@pmskyV]

shared STAY LOUD THANK YOUSE

[@hrvojesvetec3058]

For Gods sake..Russian economy is NOTHING vs Europe/Nato..Russian economy is same size as Spains..if Europe/Nato would only spend 1% of gdp to help Ukraine it would be all over prety fast..

[@screambeyond]

Now we know that Spain could resist the whole NATO with its economy 😉Love from Spain

[@claireanddexter]

4,612 views bravo!!!

[@KAS-pip]

From what I read at least prior to invasion Crimeans and those in the Donbass did not wnt to leave Ukraine in polling

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Hybrid warfare. Same in all the influence spheres Russia desires to control. This IS the war. Ukraine is just the visible part, the distraction. Being strong at home, in the "west, in the free world, will crush all forms of imperialism and wars. All our institutions are under attack: media, government, education, unions, NGOs... everything.

[@madeleinesuzette]

Great chat gentlemen✅ Thank you 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘💪

[@martinarijsbergen4270]

It’s pretty simple just convince Trump if he defeats Russia he will go down in history as the greatest president ever,I am sure he would absolutely go for that Title being the simpleton he is!

[@GMT_400]

How about he puts the screws to all the europians to do what they always say they will do? He probably would go down as a great American president.

[@katydonald7014]

He wants a Nobel [like Obama] soooo bad. Dangle that prize before him to fixate on.

[@ninemoonplanet]

That IS one possible key to getting the incoming president to choose to support Ukraine. "Hero" and being a good image for history. Revamp the image from laughingstock. Possible! 👍

[@tomwende5529]

@@katydonald7014 I agree. I also think that getting laughed at by the ENTIRE UN General Assembly stung a bit. It's another shiny object that can motivate him to do what's right despite his baser instincts.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Dictatorship is his dream. Selfish, totalitarianism kleptocracy is what he dreams of, always. He cares for no one but himself.

[@mike4480]

Starting Jan 2025, the EU will provide Ukraine with €1.5 billion per month in aid, announced EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas after the first meeting of foreign ministers from 27 member states. This money comes from the proceeds of Russian frozen assets and can also be used for military purposes. .. 💙💛💙

[@hrvojesvetec3058]

Absolutly..Ukraine should offer Trump admin a deal with "critical minerals" stuff, offer US lucrative contracts etc..but the problem is not Ukraine, they are willing to let go some of the land etc...Russia IS the problem tho, they want everything they ask for and that wont work..

[@ninemoonplanet]

Given how fixated Putin is about destabilizing Ukraine, any offers that don't include that are wasted time. I know Ukranian people are wishing they weren't the targets of Putin's fixation, but this will only be changed using strength and determination.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Great mistake, Zelenskyy would lose the support of his populations and army. This would serve Russia greatly. Think about it, listen to what Ukrainians write in their chat, on Ukrainian channels... get out of your echo chamber!

[@B_r_u_c_e]

[@stephie52]

Ukraine needs an Iron Dome similar to Israel. I am very disappointed to hear what Trump said yesterday about Biden giving ‘permission’ to use long range missiles despite Ukraine only targeting military targets and personnel.

[@AtlasAndersson]

I've heard the 2x genie punchline instead as 'beat me half to [unlife]'. The hatrid runs deep

[@michaelmichaels-tw7wd]

🔱🌻🤗🥰🦄💙💛

[@ivykaminsky]

What about food coupons?

[@hrvojesvetec3058]

Its mind boggling, frustrating and sad to see the West tackle this war of agression that Russia launched on Ukraine and entire West, lets be honest..biggest land war on European soil since the ww2 and Europe/Nato still drags its feet..like they refusing to see reality.theres only 1 path and thats boost support properly and allow Ukrainians/let them defend them self properly, also put more pressure on Russian economy thru sanctions..thats ONLY way

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Very much so. We have to regain control of our institutions!

[@paulyoung4422]

Stopped watching Willy O M, when he went Russian.

Heavy Weapons mounted in the rear bed of a civilian pickup truck was called Technicals.

[@UkieCanuckPatriot]

Thanks 🙏 for reading out my comments! I know they were a little “controversial”. 😉

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Are you? I don't think you are. It's hard to keep the lid on, sometimes, more and more. Do you know Vlad Vexler?

[@felipearbustopotd]

35:00 The U.S. does produce enough oil to meet its own needs, but it is the wrong type of oil. That is why it imports. Thus its fingers are needed overseas.

[@W_Bin]

"If Trump can sign this he will look good" - honestly... it's a bargaining ploy. Minerals for arms.

[@takingbacktheplanet]

article 5: every nation will come to another nation's aid... exemples of valid aid included are well-wishes cards, christmas logs and handknitted sweaters. :) will take cookies too, if still soft to the touch. bet Ukraine is intent on not making the same mistake again >:).

[@benlybech]

Ceterum censeo Russiya esse delendam

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Much worst then putin's worst fantasies, nightmares, melancholy, inept trumpist history revisionism.

[@emanuelhendrikx5233]

I now it's difficult...

[@KAS-pip]

East Germany was occupied by Russia for over 40 years

[@ninemoonplanet]

Yes, but remember it was backed by a regime that did have far more international prestige, it doesn't now.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Their influence is still uncomfortably overwhelming and the western part's denial to all their failures at bringing the east in is very bad... I have no words to express how bad and a complete failure it is. Russia just fills the void, wherever we look the other way. It leads to trump, extreme right, extremism... many failures. People are upset, for excellent reasons and not addressing the issues is not the way.

[@W_Bin]

Russia GDP PPP is distorted by wealth inequality. 81% are at or below the poverty line.

[@W_Bin]

Let's see if Russians will put up with economic crisis in the internet age, seeing the rest of the world not. This is not the 1990s. And they have seen Russia was alone in the 1990s.

[@KAS-pip]

Israel has more long term ties to the US than Ukraine, and a very effective lobbyist organization, but does Israel have a security agreement like Budapest? I know we passed agreements to fund or arm them like Obama did in 2016 with an MOU like Biden signed for Ukraine but didn't include the same kind of guarantee of multi year funding which he should have. Has Israel ever fought for us? I don't think so. Ukraine sent troops to fight with us after 9/11, Israel didn't. Netanyahu ran on his relationship with Putin. Israel blocked our sending OUR Iron Dome to Ukraine in 2021- 2022 when we asked to placate Russia, Israel is "Neutral" refused to join sanctions and is still blocking weapons as far as I know. They blamed the necessity to get Russian permission to bomb groups in Syria, now what's their excuse? They are sitting on retired Patriot systems Biden should have traded for our THAADs. They support Russia invading territory the UN doesn't recognize as theirs because they do it. They just invaded and bombed Syrian weapons as the US is negotiating with Turkey to transfer them to Ukraine. They also have lots of oligarchs, and purposely defied Biden on Palestine to help Trump. I personally do not consider Israel and ally I consider them a liability many Americans have died for Israel or been wounded, Americans pay a huge price for them being an obstacle to peace hurting our alliances in the Middle East. and have from the start called them hypocrites for being in essence Nazi Supporters or enablers, at best Elie Weisel's bystanders

[@ninemoonplanet]

Interesting points. Israel is frequently using their past history as an international leverage. It may be time to reevaluate.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Ukraine PR is very bad. Israel weapons are famed, yet not so great; and their methods very questionable. Ukraine weapons are legendary and their methods honorable, innovative and cost effective and an inspiration to the world's armies. Bad PR, just dreadful.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Manpower is actually a major Russian weakness. Russia’s is careless with its men’s lives and it simply does not have enough lives to spend. Russia is not the USSR. It has almost as much territory but less than half the population and a negligible birthrate outside of Muslim majority areas. Russia was facing a shortfall of all 5 million laborers before 2024 and that was with nearly full employment.

[@mikechamberlin8312]

Hello. Love your stream. However, Russia's GDP is about the same as Italys . Certainly not 5th in the world. this is why they will loose. They hark back to the 'Patriotic War' but they would have been badly beaten had it not been for the endless supplies from The US and The UK. Today that support is going to Ukraine and Russia cannot compete. INFLATION, INTEREST RATES, AND SANCTIONS, means they are broke. They have next to no stored vehicles left and they cannot produce new equipment at the rate they need. The end is neigh for them.

[@ldhorricks]

What is the benefit of doing these live podcasts....the comments are mostly vacuous

[@davidalan7815]

You lost me when you started talking trash about Trump. I don't know what Trump is going to do. YOU don't know what Trump is going to do. I don't even think Trump knows what he's going to do yet. So stop assuming the worst just because you don't like him. I don't like him, either. But at least I can be fair and wait until there are more clear indications.

[@TheKCBBQ]

Can Ukraine continue the attrition rate of the war?

[@ninemoonplanet]

They can, because they are so creative, innovative and have a million people in the military forces. What's really needed are the weapons.

[@betterdonotanswer]

Zelensky is completely ignorant, he never read a single book, which fact is immediately obvious from his jokes. Russia (839-1434) was a medieval kingdom situated in western Ukraine, in between the Visla and Dъněprь rivers, so this slogan is not only meaningless, but also insulting for Ukraine. The only phrase that makes sense is «make Muscovy small again» by returning into its historical border on 1472.

[@ninemoonplanet]

You have no idea whether Zelenskyy is an avid reader, nor do you obviously know he's been a successful business man, or that he's fluent in several languages, or that he's put everything on the line for Ukraine. He's also a LAWYER.

[@betterdonotanswer]

Q: Zelenskyy is an avid reader... A: Who never quoted a single writer, poet or philosopher.

[@betterdonotanswer]

Q: he's been a successful business man... A: Whose trash movies and even trashier shows were all financed from the Muscovite budget.

[@betterdonotanswer]

Q: he's fluent in several languages... A: Except for English, Muscovite and Ukrainian, in which he is unable to form a simple sentence.

[@betterdonotanswer]

Q: he's put everything on the line for Ukraine... A: Except for his own wellbeing, for what he dodged the mobilization four(!) times in 2014-2018.

[@GalAxy-u9s]

Poor clowns, small again as the USSR?

[@gerryhouska2859]

It's not about the size of the dog in a fight, it's about the size of the fight in a dog. Ukraine fights for survival, future of their children. The muSScovite empire fights for money and megalomania of a malevolent midget. It resembles a brontosaurus, huge with a tiny brain.

[@PandemoniumMeltDown]

Much smaller, small as Muscovy, the little mafia click that it is, losing all it's imperially dominates satellites. Muscovy is very, very small, a few kilometers, Moscow, maybe St Petersburg... not much more. Microscopically small.

[@ninemoonplanet]

Rebuilding is important for the people to have some place called home, plus defending that home is important to keep the home in one piece. I have just added up the support I gave (still doing) and the military forces have been provided $7,000 for their needs. This is over 2.5 years. We CAN'T afford, literally, to let Ukraine down. It's FAR more costly if we slack off. 🔱🇺🇦🫂🇨🇦
