Thanks Jonathan. I really value your conversations with Konstantin. Although I follow him on his Inside Russia channel it is always illuminating to hear both of you together. His grief for the "loss" of his homeland has been a sad story to witness over the last few years. His humility, his humour and above all his empathy has helped lead him to his accurate tho heart-breaking understanding of all that is happening. Empathy being the very thing which he so accurately observes is diminishing in his countrymen. Thankyou Jonathan for profiling him on your show and thank you for doing such great work for Ukraine.🌻 Sending love and support from Canberra Australia 🌏🌎🌍❤️🇺🇦

[@harley1122118]

I used to think K was a grifter.....he is not and actually has a fascinating perspective on Russia and I sure learned a lot. I even joined his channel. Shows what I know...LOL

[@carolwilliams8511]

Things were different when he was actually in his own country. I was not 100% sure about him either and think his attitude has altered a lot since he left.

[@martavdz4972]

Yeah, there's a huge businessman streak in him and I mistrusted him for some time. Still take his info with a pinch of salt. But he's consistent. And his prayers after the Crocus CH attack convinced me he isn't in it just for the money, he genuinely cares, and about Ukrainians, too. Being a long-time and, hopefully, caring Christian myself, I recognized a genuine prayer. Something like that just isn't possible to stage and pretend.

[@clear-vision]

It's great listening to such insightful people in such difficult times.

[@mikelanglow-bi2sv]

I always questioned how Stalin lost 20+ million soldiers: where the Germans fighting on 2 fronts lost 6+ million.

[@TheRealIdiotIsntHere]

Worse still they all died in vain. Only for Putin's RuZZia to become the new nazis attacking European countries to steal their freedom and force Fascism upon them 😢.

[@mandrews1245]

I believe it was 24 million soldiers lives were lost and between 8 and 10 million citizens of Soviet Union. Germany lost 5.5 million soldiers and 6+ million citizens. More than half of Europe gave up without fighting Germany so there was no loss of life for German troops. Also Germany was prepared with trained military and advanced weapons. That was not the case when Germany came thru Ukraine to invade Soviet Union. SU had little time to prepare and thus were ill trained and without weapons. It took several years until they were able to be on equal status as German troops.

[@mickigarvey7608]

Always interesting to hear how the jigsaw pieces fit together (or not..). The U.S nervousness about a hike in oil prices is just a rather distressing indicator of the extraordinary self-interest that permeates the House and the Senate. Follow the money…SLAVA UKRAINI! ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️

[@solconcordia4315]

@mickigarvey7608 Defense policy of the U.S.A. in the short term is controlled by the Commander-in-Chief, namely the President. Only over the longer term is defense policy highly influenced by the U.S.A. Congress which holds the purse string for any defense spending as well as the legislated allocation for different purposes. It's criminal to cross allocation boundaries. For example, if the U.S.A. the munitions for fighting Red China doesn't mean that we the Columbians on Turtle Island can send them to Ukraine, unless Congress changes the allocation. By and large, our Democrats don't know how to govern and our Republicans prefer to convert public revenue into private profits. Both love to subvert public policies for "campaign contributions."

[@TSZatoichi]

The thing that everyone seems to miss about the US asking Ukraine to stop hitting Russian refining facilities is what would happen to US funding to Ukraine if Republicans were to regain power in Washington. It's in Ukraine's better interest to do whatever they can to ensure Democrats win the majority in DC this November, I don't like it either, but if Trump wins the Presidency because people are angry about the price of gasoline, Ukraine will have to hope the EU is ready to dump $250B into Ukraine in the next couple of years because they'll get nothing from the US.

[@mandrews1245]

@@Bob-nd2mr -- Russia is far from the first country to do this. What do you think CBDC's are? It is control of your finances and thus the other areas of your life. Without money you can't buy food, transportation or anything. Some countries have given up passports because the Digital ID# data base has all information about every person from birth to death. They are now beginning to outlaw back-yard gardens so you won't be able to grown your own food either. The FedNow program in USA is ready to go. Europe and England the same. But they need a Digital ID# which consists of fingerprints and retina scan. Almost every country currently has facial recognition. Look at the camera's on the streets and at intersections. All these governments need is a "black swan" event, which will scare the population so much, they willingly line up for a Digital ID#. Just the same way 80+% of the population allowed the jab based upon propaganda which frightened people to believe they would be killing "Granny" if you didn't get the jab. Turns out it is not a "vaccination" at all. It is Genetically Modified Organisms of which it is so experimental no one knows the extent of the damage it will do to the human body. Almost every gov't in the Northern Hemisphere regulated lock downs and jabs which will forever change our bodies and our life expectancy. Hackers are not going to be able to help...

[@carolwilliams8511]

It won't. Except inside the z nation itself. The US isn't being much of an ally right now and has no moral leg to stand on, trying to tell Ukraine what they can hit militarily. Also the US economy is booming.

[@martavdz4972]

Read somewhere that it's about the market, where prices depend even on such things as rumour or panic. The U.S. government is afraid traders would panick and that would drive the prices up a bit.

[@halporter9]

Mobilization in Russia, Ukraine. Historical comparisons with US 1940 to present. The incompetence of Russian conscription, mobilization and volunteer procedures continues to amaze me after my 76 years of experience. I’ve lived through national conscription procedures my whole life. Even today all 18 year olds have to register for the draft, though we currently have an all volunteer army. In my day, 1940 to 1970s, there were local draft boards (Selective Service) that were given monthly quotas of numbers to be sent for processing. Deferred persons (students, teachers, key scientists engineers, civilian defense workers and workers at munitions plants, some skilled communications and power supply workers. Etc.) were temporarily passed over (say during Vietnam) and those called up were then called up for medical and if passed were then drafted either that day or up to a month later. Around Christmas 1969 the draft switched to a lottery. My number was 17 or so, vDraft January or February. Bill Clinton’s, same year, was something like 250 (draft never). Anyway, the system, with its flaws, was in place for immediate use if there was an emergency. the US learned its lesson during WWI and for the Peacetime Draft, in 1940. The phrase “call up” or mobilization in US generally referred to calling up reserve units, this or that reserve or National Guard battalion or air wing as a whole unit. These were separate from draftees and were already trained; most were veteran units. The soldiers were of course older than draftees, and after the initial service, would have weekly or biweekly training sessions and a period of two weeks or more field service or maneuvers, mostly in the summmer. These same type of units serve to this day and have frequently been mobilized to fight overseas, Iraq, Afghanistan, even to shore up forces in Europe. Currently no conscripts, though in the day (Vietnam era) conscription term was 2 years allowing enough time to train soldiers and get about a year or so service out of them. A likely officer candidate who was drafted might be offered a place in Officers Candidate School but they had to agree to extend their tours to 3 years. The WWII term for OCS graduates was “90 day Wonders”. But back then a lot of draftees were older and more experienced in life rather than 20-21, OCS grads of later years. In Vietnam there was very little mobilization of National Guard or Reserve units unlike today. The Johnson Administration tried to avoid the political and economic costs of mobilizing large numbers of men with established families and professions, and with the post war baby boom coming of age, there was an excess of bodies available for conscription, even as a US Army of 550,000 was building up in country, Vietnam. Total US armed forces worked wide? Something like 3.5 million out of population I think of 180-190 million if memory serves. A VERY DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE IN 1960s. All in all, the system, with a lot of flaws, worked. Russia’s, with the corruption, hazing, and lack of much commitment to social fairness, still doesn’t seem to. And I have no sense about Ukraine. They seem to have tried to avoid some of the issues and are in a muddle. Reminds me of the Union forces (Northern) in the Civil War and their erratic conscription methods. The Southern Confederacy instituted virtual universal conscription in 1862 (2nd year of war). Southern white male deaths in the US Civil War were at least proportionately on the order of Soviet deaths in World War II. Union Army might not have won without 200,000 Black, former slave, volunteers troops by the last year of the War (1865).

[@thearpox7873]

Having a system means having something that can be subverted and corroded. Therefore Russia, as it is, is incapable of having a system anywhere in the same ballpark as the US due to the nature of its own people.

[@robhaythorne4464]

That was a very nice summary, but you left a few things out. There were student deferments, married deferments, and don't forget medical deferments, many bogus. These all led to many difficulties that are too long to mention here, but have implications even today. The failure to mobilize reserve components and national guard units was massive. One of the best ways not to go to Viet Nam was to join one of these outfits. Their ranks overflowed from 1965 through at least 1972. Really stupid. Train them up, but never use them. The saddest part of the Vietnam Era was the sacrifice of the sons of the Greatest Generation by their own parents. Fundamentally 18 to 20 year old male Boomers were held in jeopardy from 1963 to 1973 when the draft officially ended. That's at the feet of their parents' generation.

[@halporter9]

T AND R: thank you for your comments, they are well taken, and I mostly agree. I did leave things out and not give proper emphasis to quite a lot. For Vietnam the Selective system eventually collapsed because class differences began to be more stark. Been thinking about this for some time, but wrote this off the top of my head. The student deferment issue was massive and complex as you suggest. Also certain professional deferments. I still remember, was it late 69, when they took away teaching. Medical deferments were really complicated. Some of it was bogus as you say, some of it was that they had stricter standards than previous conflicts. I had a 1Y medical because my blood pressure was one point over the limit (140 instead of 139). Yet this was also real, I’ve had slightly high blood pressure my whole life. If I had been drafted the military would have almost certainly had to pay disability, at least 10 percent, for the next 50 or 60 years, and they had such a really big pool of draft age males to draw from, far more than they needed. Braces would get you deferred, yet I had a friend who had really bad teeth, truly medically, not cosmetically an issue. We all could go on and on I really kind of assumed that some accountants were trying to triage future veterans benefits for some of this, but I have absolutely no evidence nor have I researched the truth of the assumption. Again, thank you both.
