Really enjoyed the chance to listen to a full episode with just your perspective on current events. Thank you for all you do to help bring the Ukraine fight for survival into the forefront! 💙

[@jerrydgj]

They definitely mean what they say. The one thing Trump is honest about is what he wants to do. Last time there were lots of "normal" Republicans who talked him out of doing certain things, or ignored his orders. Those people won't be there if he wins again.

[@bumble-g2j]

He's honest about what he wants to do? Sure. Go to any jail and you'll find people who are honest about what they'd like to do.

[@alvarobarcala]

You cannot call a person who only says lies "honest"

[@piseag458]

Wasnt it MAGA that was holding up crucial aid to Ukraine for 6mnths,thanks Jonathan.

[@jimboswell4818]

Isn't it Biden Democrats limiting weapons use to defend themselves?

[@piseag458]

​@jimboswell4818 The aid was to supply Ukraine with the missiles and shells to hold the frontlines which came perilous close to a collapse, territory was lost along with many precious brave and some of Ukrainians finest defenders,Putin went on a big counter offensive to take advantage and were firing ten shells to Ukraines one,over those six months and it was MAGA who weren't even in government causing the problem, that doesn't inspire confidence if Trump does get in the Whitehouse, and yes the restrictions aren't good but this can change and already after Kharkhiv offensive there was some lifting on restrictions but more needs to follow.

[@GMT_400]

@@piseag458 Quickest way to aid Ukraine is through the US border. Closed and controlled like HR 2 passed by congress, still sitting in the senate today. Should have happened with the passage of aid. If trump makes it back to White House it will be through the border. Could have been so much easier.

[@thereseedstrom6767]

So confusing to see certain Americans totally disregard the need for a president to have a reasonable level of education and knowledge to merit them to execute their complex work.

[@bumble-g2j]

That's a reflection of the educational standards of Americans. There is a strong strain of anti intellectualism in most Anglo Saxon cultures in my experience. Conservatives actively denigrate "experts", of expertise generally.

[@PDXDrumr]

It is.

[@alvarobarcala]

@@bumble-g2j I'm from Spain but lived in Arizona for a couple of years. I remember so so many people there mocked me or made fun of me simply because of reading a book alone in a cafe. They find that pretentious. Seeing a guy reading a book stirs their complexes and irrational hate. And I bet all those people are now followers of Trump. It is so symptomatic of so many crazy and dangerous things. You could write hundreds of essays about the terrible things that hide behind that phenomena. The right wing has convinced people that they support the working class, and that intellectuals (or simply a guy who reads a book in a cafe) are pretentious left wing people who look down on the working class. The right wing has twisted the roles playing with frustrations and personal "complexes" of people, especially of the working class.

[@CollectiveDefence]

It should not be understated how he stole the podium as the anti-establishment candidate. Still, if you think a millionare son of CEO is the only way for your country to change, your political system has got to have issues. And the American one has plenty.

[@edwardanderson4678]

I visited my ex military mates in The USA several times and although they knew about things beyond the American boarders, I found general populations overall lack of knowledge about the rest of the world and it's history, plus the rather staggering warped views held about America, it's history and its place in the world, to be rather mind blowing. When Australian millionaire, Mr. Pratt was in America to propose the building of a large plant to recycle paper products into quality cardboard in a state with unemployment problems, a plant that was to be built by American workers and would employ American workers, a total win win for those unemployed Americans. President Trump was not particularly interested and was even quite dismissive of Mr. Pratt and Australia and had to be told about the relationship between Australia and America, he had no idea of our shared history and the military, political and moral support that Australians have provided to America especially since the Battle of The Coral Sea. Australian's are very grateful for that US intervention and although the US needed Australia as a launching point for their eventual victory over the Japanese Empire, we gave a lot of help in clearing the interior of the islands after America had destroyed the main Japanese infrastructure and was moving on to the next island, but it was like he didnt know we existed, even though he must have okayed the TV show spin off in Australia of his show, "The Apprentice," but that was it. One of his aides filled in the blanks about our relationship, and President Trump began gushing with praise for Mr. Pratt and Australia. However, given that President Trump appears set to abandon NATO, an organisation that America devised and organised, and from which they have been very well rewarded, Down Under there is concern over ANZUS and our reliance on The United States of America for help if we get into some form of military conflict with a growing Superpower that we may have trouble dealing with byourselves.

[@sneakerset]

Biden has withdrawn from the election campaign as of Sunday afternoon, and he's fully endorsed the Harris nomination for POTUS. The trolls are going crazy

[@SiliconCurtain]

My recording, editing and uploading workflow is just not able to keep up with all the breaking news!

[@jonno27]

He could endorse a potato, and it would still be a better option than trump.

​@@SiliconCurtainUkraine has one viable option in this war. They should get a license to build Rockets from Hyimpulse in Germany

[@mikefallwell1301]

​@SiliconCurtain Ukraine should copy the design of the Hy impulse vehicle

Bucha. Never forget

[@djparn007]

Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

[@paullitzbarski2632]

What I like about this format is that it takes a step back and allows the view from 10000 feet above and summarises a lot of information that are valuable but are more like puzzle pieces. Thanx for your work!

[@TonyCook-n5g]

Looks like Vance is even more ignorant than his boss. If that's possible.

[@AndrewMorton-nt4po]

I like yer style , could listen to you all day. Youv got it man.

The theft of those children is the CRIME of the CENTUARY!! 😱😭😫😧

[@SiliconCurtain]

It is. An appalling crime

[@migproductions4045]

@@SiliconCurtain The real killer is that no such crime has been committed in Russia! Nobody is guilty, international law, our common human decency and our collective humanity is put at pawn by these disgusting acts and They BRAINWASH their HELPLESS victims to call the enemy a savior!! Honestly Jonathan I never witnessed evil on this scale and this HORRID before..I thank you again for your broadcasts, as difficult as they are to get through we are not in a position for 'fluffy' truth..thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued information. Looking forward to congratulating you on 100k subs..FEW are the men that deserve 100k more! 🤗

[@CollectiveDefence]

@@migproductions4045 The history of Russia is full of barbaric crimes. They have been doing it for decades, centuries. The only surprising aspect is how fast they have regressed back to their past ways.

I've never been shown which parents are still missing their children. I saw the complications a number of parents went through to cross different borders and identify themselves to bring their children back from Russia.

[@HDR422]

The republican President candidate says so much. He flip flops. He says what he nears to say to win. What about project 2025.

We would know more about the airliner event had the current press dent not handed the crucial witness over to moss cow.

[@stephie52]

Astonishing how cavalier, in fact, downright stupid some people can be with other peoples’ fate.

[@victoriahigman6802]

They look like they’ve been in Belsun! I don’t know why there isn’t more outcry. But then the Jews in Germany were ignored 😒

[@zetristan4525]

Jonathan is so beautifully articulate...I wish he'd present more than one side of the conflict - to bring peace to Ukraine. Continuing deliberately-unwinnable war empowers hardliners who may pillage more of Ukraine, while Putin in his legalistic rational respectfulness (not the fictionalized Putler narrative for kids!) can be negotiated to a deal most favourable to Ukraine (since his #1 concern is the historical pattern of NATO aggression&manipulation). Wellbeing of Ukrainians, lives, land and livelihoods matter - far more than NATO / MIC gains. 🇺🇦

[@clarkeorchard2304]

Excellent

[@agustinussiahaan6669]

Well taught analysis.

[@victoriahigman6802]

Thanks

[@danielmcinnes20]

Thanks!

[@terryhand]

If Vance thought he could further his political career by supporting Ukraine would he do so? He had no qualms about going back on everything the said about Trump.

[@emom358]

How do we give to the hospital?

[@Elfraty]

Joe has left the race.....

[@migproductions4045]

Kamala then? 😦

[@bumble-g2j]

I'm sorry to see him go. I was never a fan of Biden but he proved a surprise. If the alternative wasn't so extraordinarily bad then maybe he might have proved competent for the job. Harris deserves the chance to run. I can't think of a young woman of mixed heritage being a better foil to the misogynist racist bigots supporting Trump.

👍👍👍

When you vote for someone how does not mean what he says.. what tells this about you?

[@brucerobinson3850]

You do not understand USA politics you take Trump's words to literally

[@clarkeorchard2304]

We have to review and consider the media. It's a strategic asset which seems to run contrary to what's best for the state.

[@thereseedstrom6767]

Bot comment

[@gregturner1947]

Jason Miller, Trump's chief spokesperson, said on TV a week or so ago that the former President's position on 'ending the war' doesn't mean Ukrainian surrender. The negotiating position sounds more like Don Corleone: An offer Putin can't refuse. Leave Ukraine now, or we will turn over the entire U.S. (non-nuclear) arsenal to Ukraine on inauguration day. Sounds like a winner to me. Remember, this is a deal maker. He likes to negotiate from absolute strength. Many, if not all, of the quotes read across the pond are either totally false or out of context, delivered by partisans in the leftist US press. You have been lied to.

[@Joseph-h6i8p]

I do not care what Adam Kinzinker says. I am an American a do not believe him. Trump will support Ukraine.

[@jklappenbach]

No, he won't. Did you really forget the fact that Trump directly held up any bill to provide funding for Ukraine in Congress for seven months? And the only reason that the Speaker finally relented was because the Dems had put enough votes together for a procedural motion to go around the Speaker and bring the funding bills to the floor for a vote. Trump would be a disaster.

[@gogudelagaze1585]

He already stated what he'll do. He'll bring peace to Ukraine! ... by blackmailing Ukraine to surrender to Russia through withholding aid. And how do you think he'll react when Ukraine rejects this generosity? He's shown himself to be arrogant and prideful. Such a snub would make Ukraine into "the enemy" as fa as Trump is concerned.

[@gogudelagaze1585]

@@jklappenbach People close to Johnson said that he changed his tune after he saw the witch hunt for protestants, catholics, and all other non-russian orthodox priests russians did in the occupied regions.

[@jklappenbach]

@@gogudelagaze1585 I know that's what he said, after he and the rest of the Republican caucus accused the Ukrainians of being anti-Christian Nazis. Which is odd, because the Nazi party was explicitly Christian. But the truth is that the Dems had the votes, and he could either stay true to Trump and get caught with his pants down, or he could head off the procedural motion and make it look like it was his idea.

[@MartinLundström-l4v]

And that why he team-up with Vance...right?
