@@johndewey6358 Staying with wife and children to make sure theyre safe and defend them is more important. We dont live in 1940 anymore. Why fight risking your life for nothing, if u can be there for your family.
Much respect for the people in Ukraine still WORKING to help others escape. The metro drivers, the train drivers, the conductor/ticket cutter. They are not escaping but driving others to their escape. Very brave people.
Heres a dose of reality, while everyone escapes, these poor train drivers have to keep working away from their families going back and forth shuttling people and are unable to escape. What they are doing is heroic.
Men between 18-60 aren't allowed to leave the country, so it's quite possible some of them would be stuck in Ukraine anyway. They're awesome for utilizing the opportunity to help their fellow countrymen though. Everyone still fighting in/for Ukraine is incredible.
Bald actually tips the lady who is working as the train conductor a fairly significant handful of hryvna, money isn't everything but it was the best way he could give someone he'll never see again some recognition.
im writing this to let all know that im at not ukraine, but a u.s citizen, im staying to help any way i can, the ones i love are here my friends my family, and my soon to be wife. I will give my life defending this country from the russians, and yes i do have family in the u.s, but my heart and soul now belong to the ukraine
Thank you for your sacrifice. I am ukrainian but currently abroad. I already decided with my friend here, we will come back and will join territorial defence. As i find out at the moment there is awaiting list to receive weapon. Probably everything sent to kyiv and east. Hope we will have enough support..... I also have small hope that regular russians will protest against it. But honestly knowing many russians, many of them support this action. Before i didn't try to make conflict out of it. But many of them just believe russias state tv....
@@raymondglad5593 i will donate 50 percent of the sales of my book, and notebooks, for the next 6 months to local orphanages here in the ukraine, on amazon josh j domitz in the search bar. Thank you everybody so much for the support and love
Thank you, didn't spot that. Just assumed it must have been Friday 25th, because the Metro was still running. (Not very nice of the pair of them to let people believe via insta and twitter that they were still in Kiev all through the weekend.)
@@CallieMasters5000 He does that on purpose to milk the sweet sympathy views for money. Consider a day before he was heckling people in a grocery store.
Bald is a ham, but a very intelligent fellow: he knows how serious this situation is. He is Johnny's bodyguard, not the other way around. All the best to them and even more so to the courageous people of Ukraine.
He's lucky to be alive, he could've been taken out by a Russian sniper when he went to the Ukraine/Russian border in his blue jacket that screams, Shoot Me
Major respect for Bald doing what he could to help from the old woman outside the train station to helping people with bags and giving up his seat. At a time like this those little things mean so much
No respect at all from me. Respect would have been for him to stay and fight the war (Johnny). Not take space from women and children. He purchased a place there dont forget.
Lol, but he conveniently left out how he barged his way on the train before all those old ladies, right? It’s easy to film yourself helping with bags from the safety of being first on the train.
Luckily they made it out. The city is now surrounded. Nobody can go out now. And theres a curfew as well, the soldiers inside are getting the saboteurs.
@@Hilariusgamer I agree. The look on his face really says it all. He always talks so highly and respectfully about the people in his videos and now he has to watch them go through this for no reason.
Johnny and Bald gods speed!. I will praying for your safe journey. Thanks for staying and bringing us your view and personal perspective on Ukraine. When you see Bald with such a serious look, you know something is coming.
6:39 dude.. taking a ticket away from someone who may have had no other choice.. british and american citizens who decided to passively join this conflict... Buy supplies in Kyiv while bitching about Ukranians doing the same, abandon Kyiv essentially wasting said supplies, now also taking space on last ditch trains.. I'm trying desperately to maintain respect for both of you but it's exceptionally difficult.
I know nothing about Johnny, his videos only started coming up in my recommended after the war broke out, but I have been watching Bald for several years and I've noticed he tends to generally end up in Ukraine after stints in other countries. It seems like a home base of sorts for him. He was there before the conflict broke out and I'm fairly confident he didn't go there expecting a war. I was pretty sure myself that Putin was bluffing, he did the exact same military build up last year and then just sent everyone home. Obviously this time was different and I think it even caught the Ukrainian government by surprise.
To be clear this video was filmed on February 25th in case anyone (like me) thought Johnny 5% was uploading on a daily basis Johnny 5% spends time in his videos disparaging America, saying in America they would be looting the luxury goods stores if there was a war happening. But modern day America has never had to face an invasion. So he is projecting his own feelings. Johnny 5% says people in America would be panic buying and hoarding at the grove store but they aren’t doing that there in Kiev. And becomes noticeably upset when he sees some guys stockpiling at the store he’s buying groceries. In the middle of a war. When residents that may not be able to leave also are unsure of their next opportunity to purchase food. Then there is a scene of his apartment fridge filled to the brim with food. So he is once again projecting, Johnny 5% is the panicked American. And if you follow the next video you see the grocery store is closed the next day, so what those guys were doing was actually the smart thing in a war situation. After weeks of opportunities to leave the country, Johnny 5% stayed defiant saying he will not leave his home. He was even in America and chose to go back. And in the days and hours leading up to the invasion he remained steadfast in saying he would not leave. He had a multitude of reasons for needing to stay even when he had the luxury of leaving. Then when it got too hot in Kiev he packed his bags and left. At the train station he and Bald did not have tickets. Bald was able to arrange for 1 ticket for the two of them. While Bald was arranging for the ticket, a group of Indian people appeared on the platform and Johnny 5% is noticeably disgusted that foreigners (like himself) are attempting to flee the country, insinuating they may not have tickets, which he himself did not have. Johnny 5% also comments how in America the seller of the ticket would have gouged a buyer on the price. Again this is him projecting as when there is any major tragedy, 99% of Americans come together to do what they can to help those in need. Whether it’s hurricane Sandy in NYC, the Bay Bridge collapse in SF, the flooding of Houston caused by Hurricane Harvey, homes being washed by flooding in Louisiana, to neighbors helping each other rebuild after they become victims of natural disasters in small towns, Americans by and large help one another, like the majority of people on this world. Again Johnny is projecting his hate of himself as hate for the common American. He is mad other people are attempting to board a train without a ticket while doing the same thing (and succeeding). After presumably taking the space of other Ukrainians who had less options than he himself had, he spends his time acting brash and wholly unaware of the crises Ukrainian citizens are living through by walking around with a camera in their faces for clicks on his TH-cam. We can see Johnny 5% on the train before Bald and other passengers so we can assume others were left behind on the platform while he was able to get on, again without a ticket. And to top off the video, it’s revealed he slept on a bed for 10 hours (without purchasing a ticket), while Bald (who purchased a ticket) or others like the women and children you see in the did not have that luxury. Johnny 5%’s contempt for foreigners, whether Indian or from anywhere else, and his distaste for Americans at large can be attributed to his hate for himself. His constant projection really is just contempt for himself and his own actions. Hypocrite and loser
It's true though. Certain people in this country act like filthy animals. They've really lowered the quality of life for the rest of us. If something like this happened here they'd be out looting instead of helping the community. But hey let's give them a pass and pretend people like that don't exist because acknowledging them hurts your feelings 🙄
Johnny FD is a spoiled brat. Now, he might ban me for this comment, but truth has to be told so Johnny 5% can finally grow UP! GOOD ON you for your detailed analysis mate👍
Every day I check on you and Bald’s channel to see if you guys post new vids hoping you guys are all safe. Praying for Ukraine and for both you and bald’s safety during these difficult times.
Bald isn't posting much because he is well aware Ukraine is one of, if not the most corrupt country on the planet. Zelensky and his gangster pals should 100% be removed from power. They jail opposition and ban opposition media, all while corrupt politicians in the EU and US cry about defending democracy knowing full well Ukraine is far from a democracy.
@@cranekraken24 I’ve been seeing many comments on Ukraine’s “corruption” and that they aren’t as “innocent” as everyone makes them out to be. I’d like to read up more on this, care to point me in the right direction so that I can find out more about this corruption everyone speaks of? This is an honest question. All I can honestly say is that the scope of what I know is what I’ve been seeing all over the news and media.
@@francoa.9646 'Democratically elected' corrupt Kleptocracy more like it. Ukraine has beem one of the most corrupt governments anywhere, akin to Russia. Putin doesnt like his neighbours with similar corrupt theiving governments evolving.
The contrast between Bald having heart palpitation's trying to get a ticket and Johnny going on another "Like in the US...." rant is unexpected comedy gold
The sad part is that he keeps trying to say how he thinks it would be in the US. He keeps trying to make really dumb comparisons when no one really knows what it would be like if the US was ever invaded.
Everytime i hear Johnny talk about the US, i roll my eyes like Bald did the guy is obsessed with telling everyone how much better Eastern Europe is than the US
Jeeze, another US comparison. Why even waste the energy to compare? These two countries are totally different. This would most likely never happen in the US because of it's position on the globe and if it did we have no idea how it would look.
Glad you're moving west, these videos will be watched for years to come. What an incredible time we live in that some of favourite TH-camrs are able to document what it's like for the normal person in Ukraine. Slava Ukraini!
Watched for years and remember how a fat American tourist laid down and took 3 spaces on the train for 10hrs after claiming he would "pick up a weapon and defend" what a joke.
Glad you guys are safe. Great work documenting an important historical event also. How many ordinary people in human history have had to flee conflict and advancing armies, seeing this video somehow makes it more relatable...
Johnny spends an incredible amount of time complaining about how bad Americans are while distinctly acting like the out-of-touch American in nearly every one of his interactions. His lack of self-awareness is amazing.
I'm sorry but this would happen to most people from a comfortable background especially in the west. Not everyone of course, always exceptions. I have seen this selfish behavior in rural places much less though
Yeah this guy is full of shit. He kept complaining about how "the media" kept talking about Putin amassing a huge army and about how the West kept talking about an invasion. He was more concerned with idiots in Canada who dont want to get vaccinated, or about bashing the US. Then bashing Ukrainians for stocking up on food. Sad.
@@DeusExAstra they knew since tue end of january about it,in My Town some ukranian people had their parents fleed in Italy at the beginning of february,signs were there,It Is not a joke,i live near a Nato base and people are following all what Is happening carefully here
The "idiots" in Canada who don't want to get vaccinated? You mean the idiots in Canada who DO get "vaccinated" against a virus with a 98.7% survival rate. Not to mention the vaccine isn't even technically a vaccine bc vaccines actually WORK. It's a shot- just like the flu shot- which doesn't work at all except for about 3%. Not to mention its experimental and even a double dose plus a second and third booster will NOT prevent you from getting it or passing it to others. How is that logical?? You have some nerve calling unvaccinated people who are the only ones actually using critical thinking skills, "idiots." Make it make sense🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
It's a great relief the two of you got out and made it west. I pray for all the older folks that can't move swiftly, and need to leave their homes that mean so much to them. I pray for the children, and the mothers who vowed to protect their families, and fathers who have worked hard all their lives to care and protect their loved ones. Peace to the people in Eastern Europe.
Americans help each other during natural disasters. We just had a wild fire here where I live and the community rallied together and helped each other out . I think the Ukrainians are great but Americans help each other too. I would love to help you out....Stay safe!
Such a devastating situation. I can't begin to imagine. I'm glad to see some people are taking their pets and not leaving them behind. Especially the cats ❤ stay safe you two!!! Thank you for interacting with the people. This is one thing I appreciate most of your videos. God bless Ukrainian people. This is such a horrible thing to happen to their lives. Let's hope there is no escalation to nuclear war. Praying for all ❤
You know what really gets me? Seeing Balds usually cheery self just morphed into something else. He has so much extroverted energy normally, makes me get an idea of the atmosphere there more than anything else!
@@angelo908638 Right. My impression as well! This is who he really is. And that is fine. Who you are on camera and really in life is often two different things.
Bald's temperament is reflecting the seriousness of the situation, only menially ill or someone in complete denial would be jovial in a situation like this. His character is such that even in dire circumstances he has not lost his humanity and grace but is seriously determined to make it to safety.
As someone who has been in this similar situation in the Balkans in 92, even if you are resilient and hopeful, etc. There is an overwhelming feeling of worry and sadness around you. It creeps in whether you like it or not. The people around you are losing loved ones and have various issues going on, so being super happy around them is a bit disrespectful to the group. I do remember the feeling of comraderie and helpfulness. We banded together and made sure everyone was taken care of. Money and daily grind BS ceases, and you value things like a bed and chocolate more than all the money in the world.
I was thinking why he is like that long time ago, guy from England. He said reason in his last video. He got Polish blood in him and now everything is clear to me. 😁 good luck boys
Bald chose to travel to Ukraine at a very stupid time and took a place on a train that a Ukrainian could have had. He's not someone to aspire to be making life risking decisions like he did this time.
The train guards and drivers stoically carry on, and will probably be on the return journey back to Kiev, and danger. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people , I cannot believe what is happening
This is frightening. Stay safe. The thing that strikes me the hardest is these are just regular people trying to live their lives and this happens! You are exactly right they do not deserve this 😢
These two been partying in the city while boys 18 too 70 in Donbass been fighting to protect their homes for 8yrs. Not 2022. This been going on for 8yrs. . Now these two run away. Film their cowardance.
20 years after US bombing european capital of Belgrade against international law! Israel bombing Syria each week. That war started in 2014, Russia is there to finish it at last!
@@Orlington17 Putin the poisoner started war in 2014. Ukrainians are hard men. Putin will kill families. Ukrainians will prevail with Western arms. Proxy war.
If I was to leave others to the protection of my adopted country ,I sure wouldn't have the stones to return after the smoke clears,especially after others did the heavy lifting to save this country, tax dollars will not bring back the casualties of war. REAL MEN indeed.
Indeed! I live in a country where 50% of my population are foreigner. If a war like this breaks out, i will not swallow the facts of those who flee and come back later when the smoke clears!
I wonder if bald will have to hold Johnny's shaking hand ,and bring him back to the city that Johnny refused to defend. Chicken shit comes to mind as words to describe this action.
I think you're selling Americans short. There are tons of Americans that are kind hearted and not greedy. Love you, but I've traveled America, and I've found great people everywhere.
To me, Johnny comes off as a naive American kid who understands nothing about what's going on around him, and basically has no idea of what to do or what to say. This is not hating on Johnny. It's just the impression I get. Good for him to have Ben coming along I reckon.
dude is one of the most ignorant bloggers out there. dude does this for the $$$, milking this whole thing for views. he's more worried about his air b&b investments then anything else.
It's hard to have sympathy with a guy that openly brags (on a previous vlog), one of the reasons he's moved to Ukraine is because he doesn't know what's going on there (politically). Top tips from Invest like a Boss, Boss. On recent trip home he quips he's just realised the deity he was raised to pray to was not Buddah, I mean come on! There's naive and there's peeps that just don't want to know. If its not in a financially rewarding to yours truly, in bottle or bikini clad it's of little interest to this content maker seemingly.
Johnny i have been following you since 2013 Muay Thai days in Chiang Mai. You were in Kyiv the epicenter of the biggest story in the world today. Had you stayed in fought you would have become an internet sensation. A legend. You are a single male with no children. You recently bought property in Ukraine and invested in the country. But you fled....
So…as a foreigner he’s managed to confront the “foreigners” in the supermarket for panic buying and now he calls out “all these random Indian dudes just comin out at the last second” for doing nothing more than evacuating just..like…him. Has he not looked in the mirror lately or has he already self identified as a Ukrainian? Even his tone when he says “foreigners” sounds so condescending. Why the need to point out their nationality?
Insecurity from a lifetime of not fitting in as a second generation US immigrant. (Actually he might be first gen, can’t remember if he was born abroad)
Thank God for people like Bald he gave a homless woman momey, he got the one ticket, he helped other people on the train, the other one is selfish, only cares about himself. Complains about everything. Disgusting. Thank you Bald for being a true Gentleman.
I think when john talks about the selfish and greedy Americans and what they would do if this was happening in the U.S., he's just referring to what he would do in that situation. When I lived in America for 6 years, I was surrounded by so many kind people who would have never thought of trying to profit off of a life-saving train ticket, but I can totally see this guy upping the price for some poor family while simultaneously berating them for buying too many groceries. Just look at how the blue jacket guy scoffs and rolls his eyes at 7:08 when john brings up his contempt for America again for no reason.
Underrated comment. He’s been pretty ignorant from his early videos and shitting on the western media. I like his videos prior to all of this but he really showed some ignorance on many levels. I totally him projective going the very type of person he thinks he hates.
I thought Johnny is an American , from CA . Mr Bald ( blue jacket ) is from England . I wondered where Johnny was going with the amount of groceries. We had a family of five, we’re natives of NE Florida, and you better have a cart full of easy to prepare food , during hurricane season. I think in 2004 or 2005 we had effects of four hurricanes In a matter of weeks . No electricity for two weeks straight. We lived on a farm 20 miles from town. I worked. The 12 hour night shift , and had to take cold baths, before going to work. Topping off my gas daily.It just takes more food, etc for different sized families. Seriously, many of those people may have only had a little money with them , and didn’t know what was needed at home .may have just been buying pet food , coffee mate 🤷🏻♀️
Take a look at our medical system in america.. and you'll see the greed he refers to.. "u want this life saving medicine? in america that'll cost u $10k..." Meanwhile.. in Canada, same thing will cost $10. That is the greed he refers to. A life saving thing, is scalp'd for ridiculous prices, because they know the price people will pay to survive.
Johnny, your stonewall defense of the Train seat from at least 3 Ukranian women and children and your noble acts as the grocery store gestapo will be forever remembered. A true hero of Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
For someone who goes on triads for how "bad" and "unhelpful" Americans are, he sure doesn't look in the mirror...ever!! His actions are disrespectful and inhumane.
Who would have thought when I started watching your and Bald's videos years ago that this would happen. You guys have made Ukraine real for me, I can't believe this is happening. I hope you are now safe but I so want everyone in Ukraine to be able to be safe too.
He slept 10 hours while Bald just laid down. He’s like Rose from the Titanic that wouldn’t share her door! How @ texting Bald or telling him I scored a bed set your alarm for 5 hours then come switch with me. Or better yet give it up to 2 small kids, or an elder. Not everyone had tickets so I’m sure some people didn’t have a bed like Bald. The more I watch these videos the more I see how self absorbed he is.
spot on... saw many ugly personal traits and this is only the edited version he wanted us to see. Seems to have these racist undertones "where did all these Indians come from" after yesterday accosting Indian looking chaps for getting a trolley of food.. then the taking up a whole bed while others were standing.
@@toddogre2491 yup. If he’s not going to fight I certainly wouldn’t want him doing any kind of humanitarian work in terms of gathering donations. I can see him now, “Thank you for your donation because in America they’re selfish. He’d spread his anti American BS to hundreds of people! His message should be America supports you and approved $350M of military aid to you.
I am glad you both are safe. Please keep in mind if you are in this sort of developing circumstance in the future in the world, that if you had left much earlier especially since you have great means and a US passport you would have freed up 2 spots for Ukraines or foreign residents w/o your same resources and options to be on that train ..
Finally some one else that sees this the way I do! Bald didn't even need to be there, he travelled into the Ukraine to be in the thick of it and becomes an extra burden to get out of the country.
Those "random Indians" are medical students from India, who are studying at Ukrainian medical schools. They are vastly more invested in Ukraine than you are.
If anybody should stay and help medical students should. Future shitty doctors to be leaving at a time of so much pain and suffering. Please do not immigrate to America, we have no need for such awful Doctors.
As the train pulls away from the station you can see an elderly lady standing all by herself in the dark. What happened to her? All these able-bodied men on the train and she was left behind... I truly hope she had a ticket for the next train.
Yet people are saying that we should send our troops to Ukraine. Why? Clearly these abled bodies don’t give two s**ts to stay behind and fight; so, why should our soldiers die on foreign soil? We have families, wives, kids too. I spent two tours in Afghanistan and for what? Nothing obvious.
Everyday we wait for your updates. This is a bittersweet moment, bitter because you had to leave your home and your friends but sweet knowing that you guys are safe. I think this is the best decision for now, to move away from Kyiv. I live in the path of a military airport and daily I hear planes and helicopters pass over the house and I can't imagine that during wartime these aircraft bomb people. If peace comes back you can always go back to your home. If you cannot at least you will have some contacts and people that you might be able to help. Praying daily.
I’m a Johnny FD fan but he is definitely stubborn. Him saying in previous videos, “oh it’s a 5% percent chance they are coming” “it’s only a 1% chance the Russian will invade Kyiv”. Dude, you trust your baseless calculations more than the US intelligence? He was trying to blame it on COVID and now trying to juxtapose how Americans would react in this situation. Give me a break, please remember, all of your fans, regardless of country of origin want you safe, even us terrible Americans!
He was just listening to and believing eastern propaganda.. realized a lot of people were duped.. Russia just bold faced lied to everyone and was blaming the US for everything.
Johnny, could you try to praise Ukrainians without putting down Americans? I hope when the dust settles, you can post a video on lessons learned. I’d like to think you won’t be so naive in the future. You clearly have been a victim of not seeing the frost for the trees. I like your videos and will continue to watch. I wish you well.
A lot of it like myself thought it wouldnt happen, that putin was that crazy. Now that it has, we are terrified, because now we know he is crazy. US intelligence was extremely accurate with this. I feel sorry for Ukraine, such a fantastic people do not deserve this.
to end you guys idiot blah blah...johnny just don't want a war, and he was thinking positively in time of chaos...panicking is not good...act normally.
Millions of 'full blooded' ukrainians left in the days leading up to the invasion and the day of. I'm guessing they'll no longer be considered 'full-blooded' ukrainians anymore.
@@Me.me1239 People, both men and women, were leaving the country days before the invasion began, and on the day of the invasion people were able to leave too. The ban did not take into affect until a huge part of the country was already out, or moved to the western side of the country away from the fighting. If people actually think there are millions of ukrainian civilians defending the country right now, they are being incredibly naive.
I can’t say I don’t understand fear, but I can say I don’t have a lot of respect leaving your adopted city by train while women and children are still trying to leave. There are people here in my community here in the US gearing up to go to the region to provide humanitarian relief and even military help. Maybe when you are done running you can stop and at least see how you can help. You have financial resources that would allow you to stay in the region and help displaced people.
When we had the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco people were amazing - rescuing people from collapsed buildings and opening their homes to those who escaped their collapsed homes. People assisted the fire department with the long hoses needed to put out the fires using the fire boat that was out in the bay that saved the marina district. In Oakland the people who lived near the cypress structure took their own ladders and wrists or lies climbing into the collapsed freeway to rescue people. Johnny has no idea of history and does not know what he’s talking about when he bashes Americans in this way.
@@zootsoot2006 Maybe im naive but surely he could just show them his YT channel and what he does? would prove he just vlogs and travels and isnt a russian spy
@@zootsoot2006Well, most residents of Kharkiv, the eastern city that is under siege are Russian Speakers. They are the one putting a lot of resistance to the invaders. Also, Ukranians also speak Russian.
Johnny your videos of Ukraine are so beautiful. From the people you meet to how you portray every day life. Your adventures made me want to visit Kyiv so much. I'm saddened to see you leave such a beautiful place and people. Who knew you could get sushi in Ukraine? Ignorant me. Happy though to see you made it safe to the border. Sending love and prayers to you and your friends. Thank you for all your content. I hope you can return home again soon.
The Ukrainians that don't have the resources to leave are in for a rough time. Like the babushka we saw. I hope and pray they get some help and make it through this.
This was an epic train trip, one you will never forget. You were at the border with Slovakia so I guess you will go there. Fortunately Poland and Slovakia are doing a great job in helping Ukrainian refugees.
Greatings from Kharkiv. It's really scary here. We've been bombed all day. There is only hope that the next home bombed will not by mine or my loved ones...
Bald was in British intelligence and you can see the difference, especially when you see him from Johnny’s perspective. Very calm under pressure. Immediately takes a leadership role and other people subconsciously mimic his emotions also becoming calmer
@StopDrop&SausageRolls They are cowards. They are weak and wicked men. They are truly men without chests. "And all the time-such is the tragi-comedy of our situation-we continue to clamour for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more ‘drive’, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or ‘creativity’. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.

so Africans, some Asians, other non white race are refused to be on some trains, and enter to Poland etc. I know he got in due to the US passport but heartbroken that those people who walked all the way to the border are getting refused.

I am an American living in Kiev, still here sticking it out. This next week is supposed to be brutal some analysts have said, but my fiance' and I have a bomb shelter below our apartment that we use when the air raid sirens go off)
Even if you didn't want to fight for your adopted country, you could have at least given up your seat to one of those females that were left standing on the train.
To watch you guys go from “we are staying and hunkering down” to “we are fleeing” is horrific. I pray for everyone’s safety, and good luck. Glad you got out quickly
Johnny I beg to differ on your statement, "This is what freedom looks like." Freedom to me in this case would be taking up arms to defend your property. If you want to be a Ukrainian, shouldn't you defend the country? Now of course, I'm disabled and can't do much so I would be going your route if I was there. If I was able bodied and owned property there I would want to defend it, though I am an American.
I was thinking the same thing. Although I think the majority of fighting age men are leaving. You’d think that someone who praises Ukraine as much as he does would want to stay and help in some capacity. Glory to the heroes who are fighting to defend Ukraine.
@Babd you think that's simple and easy to do when most people have fled and there's s 3 mile long convoy of Russian military thundering towards Kiev! You think the Russians would just pass on by a Brit and American guy without shooting them in the head!
I feel like I am there. I got such anxiety just watching you. My heart hurts for these poor people. Those brave enough to stay behind and fight are real heroes
My heart hurts too and even though I am far away I feel very distraught as does many other countries some are more sensitive but that is a good thing we care about others and want peace no shame about that God speed to everyone
No, those whobstay or fight are fools. He who lives by the sword does by the sword. This world is passing away. The Great Tribulation is about to begin. Many of those left behind will have to die to save their eternal soul.
@@dmarklatham Exactly. He was trying to suggest that all the women and children got into the train and maybe it was just some men left behind. Bullshit! We all saw how packed that train station was with women and children. But Johnny FD showed true sacrifice by being willing to share a portion of his 12,000 calorie breakfast of champions.
@@SwoleakhulTheBlind sorry man but a sane person would have left before but we all saw the videos where he's in denial and throwing freaking barbecues to show that everything was "good", even interviewing old ladys asking them "do you feel in danger right now?" even tho the country its benn at war for the past 8 years. Then he blamed the media for the war and then he said that he would never leave his new home and his new country cause the media exaggerates everything
7:06 here we go again with the America-bashing. “Someone would be scalping tickets if this were America, someone would be looting these luxury stores if this was America, someone would be hoarding all these groceries if this was America. etc etc etc.”. 🤦♂️
To be honest, in the blm riots luxury stores were looted, I'm sure grocery hoarding has occurred during the pandemic so maybe he's not all wrong but I agree it is a mass generalisation and unfair.
Unfortunately there is an excessive amount of opportunist looters in America but that’s because the local liberal governments are lax in jailing/punishing those losers. It’s that liberalism that Putin is complete opposite of but to quite an extreme.
ENOUGH ALREADY, JOHNNY! Why do you always feel compelled to throw in an anti USA comment in your videos? We get it, you feel Ukraine is so much better in many ways. I'm a subscriber - I'm glad that you and Bald are getting out, but please stop the anti USA rhetoric. Let your videos stand on their own without the unnecessary rants.
I get the sense that he's projecting. He himself is all the things he hates about the US. But then, I'm new to his channel, so I don't have much context, and I could be wrong. The on-the-ground stuff in Ukraine has been interesting, but having to put up with his ignorant ass is kind of a stiff price to pay in order to get it. Much prefer Bald's perspective, even if he has some autocratic leanings himself.
Makes me sad how much John trashes “the people in the US”. I’m not American by birth, but American by choice and have been surrounded wherever I travel by good sincere people. Either way, Peace to all. And let the love flow no matter what.
Pisses me off too.. I would expect that from a foreigner because they literally think every single American is the same and couldn’t be further from the truth. They get all their information from movies and TV and think it’s all true 🤣🤦♂️ but yeah I’m surprised I hear him say it more than once. Probably depends on where you are in the USA.. and honestly if it’s a Republican city or state or Democratic city or state.. and other times maybe none of that matters.. but obviously it comes down to each person. Where I live we all help each other and will always be like that.. I also don’t live in New York or LA. That’s for those who are foreigners in think we all live in those two cities 😂🤦♂️ but yeah I can’t see anything going that great and either of those. Bunch of idiots for the most part.
I feel the same way. He says " I feel like in the US", and it's always bad. He's obviously never seen the US in a crisis. I've been through devastating hurricanes, and the way people come together, and help each other, is a thing of beauty. I love our county, and the people here, who btw, help others all around the world after disasters, and even now are sending aid to the people of Ukraine. Also, kind of curious, since Ukraine is his new home, why he's not staying to fight alongside of the other untrained, but brave young men?
Oh I don't know, I'm English with American family and Americans can be 50/50 we find. Some can't do enough to help and others would simply walk past you if you were on fire. I think it's the same in every country, people wanting to help and others who dont.
To be fair Southern California is the most selfish awful greedy place in the USA. Thats where he's from a place where abject poverty and blind opulence live side by side. Every time I visit SoCal I feel terrible for it being an example of America. I hope if Putin Nukes us that that's where it hits, that's the best possible outcome of all this.
I've lived in Russia for 7 years. I had Ukrainian friends too. Ordinary Russians and Ukranians are peace-loving people. I couldn't believe this is happening because of one egoistic and selfish individual. The ordinary citizens are the ones suffering.
You have zero idea what is going on...one person. Really. This leader of Ukraine was picked by Victoria Nuland. She discussed it on a recorded call. Whole bunch of people and nations involved. Nothing on the up and up. Now we are finding out about multipul US funded bio weapon labs across Ukraine.
@@justinkennedy1745 The President has been in office since 2019. When did she pick him? What position did she have, and who is saying what you stated (source please)?
We are so glad you made it safely. It does look like you’re documenting what a complete gentleman and good person bald is though! You might wanna watch your video again?!
This guy grew up in San Francisco shelter life with his parents. He really doesn’t have the street smarts when it’s a chaos in the city, he had to call Bald & Bankrupt to help him navigate out of Kyiv. Remember the airports were shut and he couldn’t just go online and but bus or train tickets. Bald got the ticket out of train and Bald got both of them in train. Where was all those friends he had in Kyiv?? This guy in indebted to Bald & Bankrupt for saving his life.
I know this is wrong to say but I quite frankly find it amusing. I know its not what were supposed to be saying but his lack of self awareness and inability to help and sacrifice even just a bit for the sake of others struggling makes me think there's something psychologically off about him. It's possible he's aspergers or is socially autistic. I think other people around him notice he's off as well.
Watching yours and balds videos brings home the realness of this horrible situation. The quietness of everything made it hit home. The children the pets just hole suffering of this is so upsetting. Im glad you and bald are safe along with every single person on that train. Massive respect and love to the people keeping the trains going and taking everyone yo safty. Watching this from the my safe home in uk made me feel guilty and also massively upset along with anger. My prayers and love to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏 ❤️
Pretty wild. You two escaping from a warzone, specifically the primary target of the invading force. Ukrainian officials just arrived at the Belarus border to start talks with Russian officials - let's hope it goes well and this madness can end. - WW
Its a warzone but not a normal war. Russia did not bomb infra or attack civilian areas. Orelse they wouldn't be able to take the train or broadcast their TH-cam.
My wife is Russian so you can imagine what our house is like at this terrible time , I never thought John would leave as he had made it his home but Bald has no ties it seems , it must be so embarrassing for men having to leave when others don’t have that choice very scary
True but all of his videos are showing all men leaving. Young Ukrainian men and everyone. The main stream media in America lies. They pretend all able bodied Ukrainian men are fighting. Not true apparently
I’ve noticed this about a lot of expats, they leave their home countries because they have baggage about it and want to escape... but when shit hits the fan in their adopted homes they will go back to America. Because they are privileged. I meet a lot of these types of expats, and I find it exhausting at times. I get there are issues back home. But the kindest people I’ve met have been in America. It’s a beautiful country with warm loving people. It’s too bad Johnny hasn’t had that experience. And then he bad mouths his country to Ben who is not American, what a shame. I’m an American who lives abroad and I meet a lot of Americans here who are all running away from something. I however would love to one day be able to go home (I’m living overseas due to family reasons). I am an immigrant to the US and I love my country. Maybe this is the diferencie between expats and immigrants. Expats geoarbritrage and leave, immigrants make their adopted nation their homes. I love America and if there was a war I wouldn’t leave, I would stay to defend it.
America has its issues and they are easy to criticize but as a Bosnian Refugee who went through what these Ukrainians are going through I'd agree America is more of a home to me than Bosnia will ever be. We even resided in Germany for six years granted I'd say generally life quality was much higher but unfournatley they booted us after six years due to our refugee status. We had nothing to go back to in Bosnia so the States were our only salvation at the time for Many Bosnians and many have made it a second home. Americans have just been spoiled. I'd agree that certain freedoms are easier to come by in Europe that's the nature of the socialist system. Capitalism does swallow some whole and I understand the frustration, but to bad mouth, this country is a little silly.
If there was ever a war happening in America , you would see the same kindness to strangers helping people in need , the way you see with the Ukrainian people. As an American I saw the same kindness in NYC during 9/11, and in Hurricane Sandy. I don’t know why Johnny keeps ragging on about Americans . Let’s keep the focus on the Ukrainian people and the crisis that they are going through without making these backhanded comments about your homeland. Even the expats from different countries that you speak to when you say such things about Americans , just look at you and smile with a cringe because really they’re embarrassed for what you are saying when you make those unnecessary comparisons.
Johnny constantly bashing the US for being selfish whilst happily sleeping in place of the others and filming bald helping rather than joining in is irony at its finest
heard the ukranian arent letting black people get into the trains, dunno if its just propaganda or, if its actually true, that leaves a really bad image of racism on the ukranians, this guy also trash talks latin america and other places
Johnny judges everyone while consistently making terrible decisions. His big ass buys groceries that should be for locals that can't leave while he shames locals for buying too much. In one video he laughed when someone told him how much they earn per year. He has no decency or filter. Then he trashes the USA every chance he gets. Johnny is trash.
I was thinking the same thing. I enjoy watching Johnny's content, but the dude takes shots at the American people in every video lol pretty sure there are both sides of the coin in both countries. Good people looking to help out their fellow man, and people looking to take advantage. It's not an absolute on either side like he always tries to paint it as. Pretty stupid.
Soviet is now in Russia. No SWIFT, no money, no flighs to other countries, no future. The closest to normal people are in prisons, the youngest one's are dying in war. Really accurate.
I like both Ukraine and Russia I’ve only been Kiev as it’s easier being British I hope this gets resolved let’s not forget Russia and it’s civilians are also suffering cos of this and it’s not their fault either we need both these great countries strong it affects the rest of Europe as well
@@Margo-uu5mx Throught Russian History they tried to cripple Russia and it always stood up from its knees. They thought that they defeated Russia either when the Mongols invaded, when Germany invaded, when the USSR collapsed or now and it always stood its ground. Russia has enough reccources to live cut off from the west. The west is anyway loosing to China right now.
Bald just handing money to a babushka chokes me up. Johnny meanwhile judging random guy in a grocery store for buying supplies, not so much. Still like you both, just still a bit chafed from watching that cringey footage. Glad you guys got out, stay safe;
I’ve only been watching both of them since around November but they come across as 2 very different kind of people. Bald makes me feel warm inside watching him and makes me want to get on my bike and ride round Europe again, Johnny, we’ll, I’m struggling to stick with him the last few months, not sure I’ll be here much longer. Bashing America and foreigners, I love Ukraine, I love Ukraine that’s why I’m staying here he says, first opportunity he runs to another country.
im staying, i will not leave i will give my life to protect my family and the ones that i love, and yes im a u.s citizen i will never flea, this is the most amazing country in the world
Johny isn't a cool guy at all, very uninformed and ignorant. Like the last video where he got pissed off at people for stocking up on food during a FUCKING WAR! The dudes an idiot. Benjamin is very kind, generous and helpful to anyone around who needs it.
No he’s worse. Every American that I’ve shown johnnys videos to says he’s a bumbling idiot. He acted like a sheltered child through this whole situation
I really dont quite understand why bald hangs out with him tbh. Bald is such a well-informed, sensitive (you can tell how much he cares about the quality of his videos, and their narrative track), and savvy guy. I can’t imagine convos with Johnny FD are super interesting, doesn’t seem like he shares Bald’s passion for Soviet relics, doesn’t have exactly the same kind of travel/life experience-I can’t see him getting too much out of the relationship unless Johnny is actually a very capable bodyguard.
@@AvanaVana lol they both love to felate authoritarians and think we should be ruled under a thumb of a dictator. There is enough evidence in both of their old videos to see that they both thought russia was in the right to insinuate war but now that it happens they both are afraid. Hahahah So glad they both finally got to find out just what it was like for all the poor people they usually step over to make money on their videos
@@AvanaVana from my understanding which is purely anecdotal, Johnny is interested in Ukraine because he is invested in certain aspects of the country, like real estate and privately other stuff.
Watched Bald's vid on this trip the other day. Nice to see things from this side. Glad you opted to leave. Sucks that you haven't lived there for long. Hopefully the day will come when you can return.
Benjamin is a student of history and understands the gravity and context of the situation. It is quite dire, despite the calm. It takes a group effort and simple kindnesses to survive. Johnny on the other hand doesn't get it. Benjamin saved his life getting him on those trains.
The workers staying behind to keep the railways working are heros.
thought the same, real real heroes potentially saving so many lives. Just wow.
The crews of all thing Ukrainian will continue with their work and I am surprised how many eligible men did not stay behind to defend & fight..
Did you see the footage (not sure if real or not) of the railway workers making anti-tank things? Not sure the name for the barriers .
@@johndewey6358 Staying with wife and children to make sure theyre safe and defend them is more important. We dont live in 1940 anymore. Why fight risking your life for nothing, if u can be there for your family.
🤣🤣🤣
Much respect for the people in Ukraine still WORKING to help others escape. The metro drivers, the train drivers, the conductor/ticket cutter. They are not escaping but driving others to their escape. Very brave people.
Often those are the forgotten ones. Let's also not forget the firefighters, EMS personnel that are still doing their job despite the invasion.
❤
Heres a dose of reality, while everyone escapes, these poor train drivers have to keep working away from their families going back and forth shuttling people and are unable to escape. What they are doing is heroic.
I thought the same. Train driver and crew are true heroes
until the day the train or the line is bombed then if they are lucky they'll get to walk back home to a bombed neighbourhood...
Men between 18-60 aren't allowed to leave the country, so it's quite possible some of them would be stuck in Ukraine anyway. They're awesome for utilizing the opportunity to help their fellow countrymen though. Everyone still fighting in/for Ukraine is incredible.
They dont have to, they choose to. While others choose to run some choose to risk their lives and stay. Someone has to do it.
Bald actually tips the lady who is working as the train conductor a fairly significant handful of hryvna, money isn't everything but it was the best way he could give someone he'll never see again some recognition.
im writing this to let all know that im at not ukraine, but a u.s citizen, im staying to help any way i can, the ones i love are here my friends my family, and my soon to be wife. I will give my life defending this country from the russians, and yes i do have family in the u.s, but my heart and soul now belong to the ukraine
Thank you for your sacrifice. I am ukrainian but currently abroad. I already decided with my friend here, we will come back and will join territorial defence.
As i find out at the moment there is awaiting list to receive weapon. Probably everything sent to kyiv and east.
Hope we will have enough support.....
I also have small hope that regular russians will protest against it. But honestly knowing many russians, many of them support this action. Before i didn't try to make conflict out of it. But many of them just believe russias state tv....
You’re a hero! Please be safe.

@@CallieMasters5000 He does that on purpose to milk the sweet sympathy views for money. Consider a day before he was heckling people in a grocery store.

Bald is a ham, but a very intelligent fellow: he knows how serious this situation is. He is Johnny's bodyguard, not the other way around. All the best to them and even more so to the courageous people of Ukraine.
He's lucky to be alive, he could've been taken out by a Russian sniper when he went to the Ukraine/Russian border in his blue jacket that screams, Shoot Me

@@matty6848 while u see a same ol' johnnie...
Exactly! I'm glad he convinced Johnny to leave too!
Major respect for Bald doing what he could to help from the old woman outside the train station to helping people with bags and giving up his seat. At a time like this those little things mean so much
No respect at all from me. Respect would have been for him to stay and fight the war (Johnny). Not take space from women and children. He purchased a place there dont forget.
@@joepatroni8777 Bald didn't live there. He only arrived days before the invasion.
@@newshound2521 I know. I meant Johnny
@@joepatroni8777 👍
Lol, but he conveniently left out how he barged his way on the train before all those old ladies, right? It’s easy to film yourself helping with bags from the safety of being first on the train.
Just seeing how serious you and Bald are shows us the desperation and urgency of the situation. God speed and good luck.
"Bald" LMAO
It must be so sad for Bald, he made videos about how these countries are beautiful and their people and then this happens
Luckily they made it out. The city is now surrounded. Nobody can go out now. And theres a curfew as well, the soldiers inside are getting the saboteurs.
@@Hilariusgamer I agree. The look on his face really says it all. He always talks so highly and respectfully about the people in his videos and now he has to watch them go through this for no reason.
Bald is in the Mi6. Average day for him
Johnny and Bald gods speed!. I will praying for your safe journey. Thanks for staying and bringing us your view and personal perspective on Ukraine. When you see Bald with such a serious look, you know something is coming.
6:39 dude.. taking a ticket away from someone who may have had no other choice.. british and american citizens who decided to passively join this conflict... Buy supplies in Kyiv while bitching about Ukranians doing the same, abandon Kyiv essentially wasting said supplies, now also taking space on last ditch trains..
I'm trying desperately to maintain respect for both of you but it's exceptionally difficult.
@@JackovdaBoro johnny didn't want to sit in traffic, bald decided a war zone looked fun
@@JackovdaBoro Johnny has a video posted where he moves from the US to Ukraine, just for fun, knowing that a conflict will occur..
I know nothing about Johnny, his videos only started coming up in my recommended after the war broke out, but I have been watching Bald for several years and I've noticed he tends to generally end up in Ukraine after stints in other countries. It seems like a home base of sorts for him. He was there before the conflict broke out and I'm fairly confident he didn't go there expecting a war. I was pretty sure myself that Putin was bluffing, he did the exact same military build up last year and then just sent everyone home. Obviously this time was different and I think it even caught the Ukrainian government by surprise.
To be clear this video was filmed on February 25th in case anyone (like me) thought Johnny 5% was uploading on a daily basis
Johnny 5% spends time in his videos disparaging America, saying in America they would be looting the luxury goods stores if there was a war happening. But modern day America has never had to face an invasion. So he is projecting his own feelings.
Johnny 5% says people in America would be panic buying and hoarding at the grove store but they aren’t doing that there in Kiev. And becomes noticeably upset when he sees some guys stockpiling at the store he’s buying groceries. In the middle of a war. When residents that may not be able to leave also are unsure of their next opportunity to purchase food. Then there is a scene of his apartment fridge filled to the brim with food. So he is once again projecting, Johnny 5% is the panicked American. And if you follow the next video you see the grocery store is closed the next day, so what those guys were doing was actually the smart thing in a war situation.
After weeks of opportunities to leave the country, Johnny 5% stayed defiant saying he will not leave his home. He was even in America and chose to go back. And in the days and hours leading up to the invasion he remained steadfast in saying he would not leave. He had a multitude of reasons for needing to stay even when he had the luxury of leaving. Then when it got too hot in Kiev he packed his bags and left.
At the train station he and Bald did not have tickets. Bald was able to arrange for 1 ticket for the two of them. While Bald was arranging for the ticket, a group of Indian people appeared on the platform and Johnny 5% is noticeably disgusted that foreigners (like himself) are attempting to flee the country, insinuating they may not have tickets, which he himself did not have.
Johnny 5% also comments how in America the seller of the ticket would have gouged a buyer on the price. Again this is him projecting as when there is any major tragedy, 99% of Americans come together to do what they can to help those in need. Whether it’s hurricane Sandy in NYC, the Bay Bridge collapse in SF, the flooding of Houston caused by Hurricane Harvey, homes being washed by flooding in Louisiana, to neighbors helping each other rebuild after they become victims of natural disasters in small towns, Americans by and large help one another, like the majority of people on this world.
Again Johnny is projecting his hate of himself as hate for the common American.
He is mad other people are attempting to board a train without a ticket while doing the same thing (and succeeding).
After presumably taking the space of other Ukrainians who had less options than he himself had, he spends his time acting brash and wholly unaware of the crises Ukrainian citizens are living through by walking around with a camera in their faces for clicks on his TH-cam. We can see Johnny 5% on the train before Bald and other passengers so we can assume others were left behind on the platform while he was able to get on, again without a ticket. And to top off the video, it’s revealed he slept on a bed for 10 hours (without purchasing a ticket), while Bald (who purchased a ticket) or others like the women and children you see in the did not have that luxury.
Johnny 5%’s contempt for foreigners, whether Indian or from anywhere else, and his distaste for Americans at large can be attributed to his hate for himself. His constant projection really is just contempt for himself and his own actions.
Hypocrite and loser
Thank you for this
💯
It's true though. Certain people in this country act like filthy animals. They've really lowered the quality of life for the rest of us. If something like this happened here they'd be out looting instead of helping the community. But hey let's give them a pass and pretend people like that don't exist because acknowledging them hurts your feelings 🙄
Johnny FD is a spoiled brat. Now, he might ban me for this comment, but truth has to be told so Johnny 5% can finally grow UP! GOOD ON you for your detailed analysis mate👍
Spot on!
Every day I check on you and Bald’s channel to see if you guys post new vids hoping you guys are all safe. Praying for Ukraine and for both you and bald’s safety during these difficult times.
Bald isn't posting much because he is well aware Ukraine is one of, if not the most corrupt country on the planet. Zelensky and his gangster pals should 100% be removed from power. They jail opposition and ban opposition media, all while corrupt politicians in the EU and US cry about defending democracy knowing full well Ukraine is far from a democracy.
@@cranekraken24 I’ve been seeing many comments on Ukraine’s “corruption” and that they aren’t as “innocent” as everyone makes them out to be. I’d like to read up more on this, care to point me in the right direction so that I can find out more about this corruption everyone speaks of? This is an honest question. All I can honestly say is that the scope of what I know is what I’ve been seeing all over the news and media.

The contrast between Bald having heart palpitation's trying to get a ticket and Johnny going on another "Like in the US...." rant is unexpected comedy gold
The sad part is that he keeps trying to say how he thinks it would be in the US. He keeps trying to make really dumb comparisons when no one really knows what it would be like if the US was ever invaded.
Everytime i hear Johnny talk about the US, i roll my eyes like Bald did
the guy is obsessed with telling everyone how much better Eastern Europe is than the US
Yeah that felt cheap even to someone like me who hates the states
Jeeze, another US comparison. Why even waste the energy to compare? These two countries are totally different. This would most likely never happen in the US because of it's position on the globe and if it did we have no idea how it would look.

Glad you guys are safe. Great work documenting an important historical event also. How many ordinary people in human history have had to flee conflict and advancing armies, seeing this video somehow makes it more relatable...
Who is advancing? We are told Ukrainian Army has it under control over there.....
Johnny spends an incredible amount of time complaining about how bad Americans are while distinctly acting like the out-of-touch American in nearly every one of his interactions.
His lack of self-awareness is amazing.

He was more concerned with idiots in Canada who dont want to get vaccinated, or about bashing the US. Then bashing Ukrainians for stocking up on food. Sad.

The "idiots" in Canada who don't want to get vaccinated? You mean the idiots in Canada who DO get "vaccinated" against a virus with a 98.7% survival rate. Not to mention the vaccine isn't even technically a vaccine bc vaccines actually WORK. It's a shot- just like the flu shot- which doesn't work at all except for about 3%. Not to mention its experimental and even a double dose plus a second and third booster will NOT prevent you from getting it or passing it to others. How is that logical??

Thank you for being kind and generous! I appreciate Bald's gesture towards the pensioner at the train station! 🍀🇺🇦🍀
Every morning, I wake up and wonder about you two and how you are. Thank you for keeping us updated!
It's a great relief the two of you got out and made it west. I pray for all the older folks that can't move swiftly, and need to leave their homes that mean so much to them. I pray for the children, and the mothers who vowed to protect their families, and fathers who have worked hard all their lives to care and protect their loved ones. Peace to the people in Eastern Europe.
Americans help each other during natural disasters. We just had a wild fire here where I live and the community rallied together and helped each other out . I think the Ukrainians are great but Americans help each other too. I would love to help you out....Stay safe!
Such a devastating situation. I can't begin to imagine. I'm glad to see some people are taking their pets and not leaving them behind. Especially the cats ❤ stay safe you two!!! Thank you for interacting with the people. This is one thing I appreciate most of your videos. God bless Ukrainian people. This is such a horrible thing to happen to their lives. Let's hope there is no escalation to nuclear war. Praying for all ❤
You know what really gets me? Seeing Balds usually cheery self just morphed into something else. He has so much extroverted energy normally, makes me get an idea of the atmosphere there more than anything else!
Maybe off camera he is being his normal self.
@@angelo908638 Right. My impression as well! This is who he really is.
And that is fine. Who you are on camera and really in life is often two different things.
Bald's temperament is reflecting the seriousness of the situation, only menially ill or someone in complete denial would be jovial in a situation like this. His character is such that even in dire circumstances he has not lost his humanity and grace but is seriously determined to make it to safety.
Johnny is in denial and is disassociating. Bald is anxious about the situation because he’s realistic
As someone who has been in this similar situation in the Balkans in 92, even if you are resilient and hopeful, etc. There is an overwhelming feeling of worry and sadness around you. It creeps in whether you like it or not. The people around you are losing loved ones and have various issues going on, so being super happy around them is a bit disrespectful to the group. I do remember the feeling of comraderie and helpfulness. We banded together and made sure everyone was taken care of. Money and daily grind BS ceases, and you value things like a bed and chocolate more than all the money in the world.

Bald chose to travel to Ukraine at a very stupid time and took a place on a train that a Ukrainian could have had. He's not someone to aspire to be making life risking decisions like he did this time.
The train guards and drivers stoically carry on, and will probably be on the return journey back to Kiev, and danger. My heart goes out to the Ukrainian people , I cannot believe what is happening
This is frightening. Stay safe. The thing that strikes me the hardest is these are just regular people trying to live their lives and this happens! You are exactly right they do not deserve this 😢
That 20 minute video really brought home a dose of reality, still hard to contemplate it is happening in 2022 in a modern European country.
These two been partying in the city while boys 18 too 70 in Donbass been fighting to protect their homes for 8yrs. Not 2022. This been going on for 8yrs. . Now these two run away. Film their cowardance.

@@Orlington17 Putin the poisoner started war in 2014. Ukrainians are hard men. Putin will kill families. Ukrainians will prevail with Western arms. Proxy war.
If I was to leave others to the protection of my adopted country ,I sure wouldn't have the stones to return after the smoke clears,especially after others did the heavy lifting to save this country, tax dollars will not bring back the casualties of war. REAL MEN indeed.
Well said. He'll wait til Bald brings him back as well most likely 🙄
Indeed! I live in a country where 50% of my population are foreigner. If a war like this breaks out, i will not swallow the facts of those who flee and come back later when the smoke clears!
I wonder if bald will have to hold Johnny's shaking hand ,and bring him back to the city that Johnny refused to defend. Chicken shit comes to mind as words to describe this action.
2 cowards
I think you're selling Americans short. There are tons of Americans that are kind hearted and not greedy. Love you, but I've traveled America, and I've found great people everywhere.
To me, Johnny comes off as a naive American kid who understands nothing about what's going on around him, and basically has no idea of what to do or what to say. This is not hating on Johnny. It's just the impression I get. Good for him to have Ben coming along I reckon.
yeah, i just started to check this videos because of the war, but he seems pretty much as you described, and im not even from USA
dude is one of the most ignorant bloggers out there. dude does this for the $$$, milking this whole thing for views. he's more worried about his air b&b investments then anything else.
Super naive.
It's hard to have sympathy with a guy that openly brags (on a previous vlog), one of the reasons he's moved to Ukraine is because he doesn't know what's going on there (politically). Top tips from Invest like a Boss, Boss.
On recent trip home he quips he's just realised the deity he was raised to pray to was not Buddah, I mean come on!

@@PosidenSiren lol! This! You hit him straight on the nose. He is a “Chad” streamer.
Johnny i have been following you since 2013 Muay Thai days in Chiang Mai. You were in Kyiv the epicenter of the biggest story in the world today. Had you stayed in fought you would have become an internet sensation. A legend. You are a single male with no children. You recently bought property in Ukraine and invested in the country.
But you fled....
So…as a foreigner he’s managed to confront the “foreigners” in the supermarket for panic buying and now he calls out “all these random Indian dudes just comin out at the last second” for doing nothing more than evacuating just..like…him. Has he not looked in the mirror lately or has he already self identified as a Ukrainian? Even his tone when he says “foreigners” sounds so condescending. Why the need to point out their nationality?
Insecurity from a lifetime of not fitting in as a second generation US immigrant. (Actually he might be first gen, can’t remember if he was born abroad)
Lets hope he donated his stash
Especially when the guy owns property in Ukraine and wants Ukranians to defend it while he high tails it out of town.
Thank God for people like Bald he gave a homless woman momey, he got the one ticket, he helped other people on the train, the other one is selfish, only cares about himself. Complains about everything. Disgusting.
Thank you Bald for being a true Gentleman.
He is a piece of work. He is missing a few brain chips.
I think when john talks about the selfish and greedy Americans and what they would do if this was happening in the U.S., he's just referring to what he would do in that situation. When I lived in America for 6 years, I was surrounded by so many kind people who would have never thought of trying to profit off of a life-saving train ticket, but I can totally see this guy upping the price for some poor family while simultaneously berating them for buying too many groceries.
Just look at how the blue jacket guy scoffs and rolls his eyes at 7:08 when john brings up his contempt for America again for no reason.
Underrated comment. He’s been pretty ignorant from his early videos and shitting on the western media. I like his videos prior to all of this but he really showed some ignorance on many levels. I totally him projective going the very type of person he thinks he hates.
blue jacket guy? that's bald and bankrupt lol
I thought Johnny is an American , from CA . Mr Bald ( blue jacket ) is from England .
I wondered where Johnny was going with the amount of groceries. We had a family of five, we’re natives of NE Florida, and you better have a cart full of easy to prepare food , during hurricane season. I think in 2004 or 2005 we had effects of four hurricanes In a matter of weeks . No electricity for two weeks straight. We lived on a farm 20 miles from town. I worked. The 12 hour night shift , and had to take cold baths, before going to work. Topping off my gas daily.It just takes more food, etc for different sized families. Seriously, many of those people may have only had a little money with them , and didn’t know what was needed at home .may have just been buying pet food , coffee mate 🤷🏻♀️
He’s praising Ukrainian people for being honest and kind, it’s true in the US someone would take advantage and try to over price the ticket
Take a look at our medical system in america.. and you'll see the greed he refers to.. "u want this life saving medicine? in america that'll cost u $10k..." Meanwhile.. in Canada, same thing will cost $10.
That is the greed he refers to. A life saving thing, is scalp'd for ridiculous prices, because they know the price people will pay to survive.
Johnny, your stonewall defense of the Train seat from at least 3 Ukranian women and children and your noble acts as the grocery store gestapo will be forever remembered. A true hero of Ukraine.

Who would have thought when I started watching your and Bald's videos years ago that this would happen. You guys have made Ukraine real for me, I can't believe this is happening. I hope you are now safe but I so want everyone in Ukraine to be able to be safe too.
Thanks Brian. I can't believe it's already been 3 months. ;(
He slept 10 hours while Bald just laid down. He’s like Rose from the Titanic that wouldn’t share her door! How @ texting Bald or telling him I scored a bed set your alarm for 5 hours then come switch with me. Or better yet give it up to 2 small kids, or an elder. Not everyone had tickets so I’m sure some people didn’t have a bed like Bald. The more I watch these videos the more I see how self absorbed he is.
spot on... saw many ugly personal traits and this is only the edited version he wanted us to see. Seems to have these racist undertones "where did all these Indians come from" after yesterday accosting Indian looking chaps for getting a trolley of food.. then the taking up a whole bed while others were standing.
I wonder if Bald secretly can’t stand him.
@@toddogre2491 yup. If he’s not going to fight I certainly wouldn’t want him doing any kind of humanitarian work in terms of gathering donations. I can see him now, “Thank you for your donation because in America they’re selfish. He’d spread his anti American BS to hundreds of people! His message should be America supports you and approved $350M of military aid to you.
He didn’t even have a ticket! Bald was able to buy only one and this idiot slept the whole way
First thing bald does when on the train is helping others get on. First thing Johnny does is find a comfortable seat for him self
Guys, please write the date of the footage in the video, so its clear. Everything is changing rapidly.
Good luck!
I posted above, date is visible at 4.52, it is 25th February
I am glad you both are safe. Please keep in mind if you are in this sort of developing circumstance in the future in the world, that if you had left much earlier especially since you have great means and a US passport you would have freed up 2 spots for Ukraines or foreign residents w/o your same resources and options to be on that train ..
Finally some one else that sees this the way I do! Bald didn't even need to be there, he travelled into the Ukraine to be in the thick of it and becomes an extra burden to get out of the country.
@@bigwideworld387 They are both naive and I hope they stop to think about this and decide differently in any like circumstance in the future.

Just a bit if casual racism from Jonny foreigner
As the train pulls away from the station you can see an elderly lady standing all by herself in the dark. What happened to her? All these able-bodied men on the train and she was left behind... I truly hope she had a ticket for the next train.
I saw her, I hope she's OK
Yet people are saying that we should send our troops to Ukraine. Why? Clearly these abled bodies don’t give two s**ts to stay behind and fight; so, why should our soldiers die on foreign soil? We have families, wives, kids too. I spent two tours in Afghanistan and for what? Nothing obvious.

Everyday we wait for your updates. This is a bittersweet moment, bitter because you had to leave your home and your friends but sweet knowing that you guys are safe. I think this is the best decision for now, to move away from Kyiv. I live in the path of a military airport and daily I hear planes and helicopters pass over the house and I can't imagine that during wartime these aircraft bomb people. If peace comes back you can always go back to your home. If you cannot at least you will have some contacts and people that you might be able to help. Praying daily.
It’s the ones stuck there I feel for. At least Johnny and Bald can leave.
I’m a Johnny FD fan but he is definitely stubborn. Him saying in previous videos, “oh it’s a 5% percent chance they are coming” “it’s only a 1% chance the Russian will invade Kyiv”. Dude, you trust your baseless calculations more than the US intelligence? He was trying to blame it on COVID and now trying to juxtapose how Americans would react in this situation. Give me a break, please remember, all of your fans, regardless of country of origin want you safe, even us terrible Americans!
@@markpedzinski4950 You aren't there either. So I guess you're a coward too.
He was just listening to and believing eastern propaganda.. realized a lot of people were duped.. Russia just bold faced lied to everyone and was blaming the US for everything.
Johnny, could you try to praise Ukrainians without putting down Americans? I hope when the dust settles, you can post a video on lessons learned. I’d like to think you won’t be so naive in the future. You clearly have been a victim of not seeing the frost for the trees. I like your videos and will continue to watch. I wish you well.
A lot of it like myself thought it wouldnt happen, that putin was that crazy. Now that it has, we are terrified, because now we know he is crazy. US intelligence was extremely accurate with this. I feel sorry for Ukraine, such a fantastic people do not deserve this.
to end you guys idiot blah blah...johnny just don't want a war, and he was thinking positively in time of chaos...panicking is not good...act normally.
This was Johnny's chance to become a full blooded Ukrainian...and he left.

If people actually think there are millions of ukrainian civilians defending the country right now, they are being incredibly naive.
@@Mike-Rogers just 3 videos or so ago Johnny said he would be a sniper on the roofs if Russians will come to Kiev. He is not so tough now, huh
I can’t say I don’t understand fear, but I can say I don’t have a lot of respect leaving your adopted city by train while women and children are still trying to leave. There are people here in my community here in the US gearing up to go to the region to provide humanitarian relief and even military help. Maybe when you are done running you can stop and at least see how you can help. You have financial resources that would allow you to stay in the region and help displaced people.
When we had the 1989 earthquake in San Francisco people were amazing - rescuing people from collapsed buildings and opening their homes to those who escaped their collapsed homes. People assisted the fire department with the long hoses needed to put out the fires using the fire boat that was out in the bay that saved the marina district. In Oakland the people who lived near the cypress structure took their own ladders and wrists or lies climbing into the collapsed freeway to rescue people.

"And all the time-such is the tragi-comedy of our situation-we continue to clamour for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more ‘drive’, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or ‘creativity’. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

Johnny I beg to differ on your statement, "This is what freedom looks like." Freedom to me in this case would be taking up arms to defend your property. If you want to be a Ukrainian, shouldn't you defend the country? Now of course, I'm disabled and can't do much so I would be going your route if I was there. If I was able bodied and owned property there I would want to defend it, though I am an American.
Americans have always been trigger happy though. Peaceful resolution is the better solution.
I was thinking the same thing. Although I think the majority of fighting age men are leaving. You’d think that someone who praises Ukraine as much as he does would want to stay and help in some capacity. Glory to the heroes who are fighting to defend Ukraine.
@Babd you think that's simple and easy to do when most people have fled and there's s 3 mile long convoy of Russian military thundering towards Kiev! You think the Russians would just pass on by a Brit and American guy without shooting them in the head!

Then he blamed the media for the war and then he said that he would never leave his new home and his new country cause the media exaggerates everything
7:06 here we go again with the America-bashing. “Someone would be scalping tickets if this were America, someone would be looting these luxury stores if this was America, someone would be hoarding all these groceries if this was America. etc etc etc.”. 🤦♂️
To be honest, in the blm riots luxury stores were looted, I'm sure grocery hoarding has occurred during the pandemic so maybe he's not all wrong but I agree it is a mass generalisation and unfair.
Unfortunately there is an excessive amount of opportunist looters in America but that’s because the local liberal governments are lax in jailing/punishing those losers. It’s that liberalism that Putin is complete opposite of but to quite an extreme.

Why do you always feel compelled to throw in an anti USA comment in your videos? We get it, you feel Ukraine is so much better in many ways. I'm a subscriber - I'm glad that you and Bald are getting out, but please stop the anti USA rhetoric. Let your videos stand on their own without the unnecessary rants.
I get the sense that he's projecting. He himself is all the things he hates about the US. But then, I'm new to his channel, so I don't have much context, and I could be wrong. The on-the-ground stuff in Ukraine has been interesting, but having to put up with his ignorant ass is kind of a stiff price to pay in order to get it. Much prefer Bald's perspective, even if he has some autocratic leanings himself.
Makes me sad how much John trashes “the people in the US”.
I’m not American by birth, but American by choice and have been surrounded wherever I travel by good sincere people.
Either way, Peace to all.
And let the love flow no matter what.
Pisses me off too.. I would expect that from a foreigner because they literally think every single American is the same and couldn’t be further from the truth. They get all their information from movies and TV and think it’s all true 🤣🤦♂️ but yeah I’m surprised I hear him say it more than once. Probably depends on where you are in the USA.. and honestly if it’s a Republican city or state or Democratic city or state.. and other times maybe none of that matters.. but obviously it comes down to each person. Where I live we all help each other and will always be like that.. I also don’t live in New York or LA. That’s for those who are foreigners in think we all live in those two cities 😂🤦♂️ but yeah I can’t see anything going that great and either of those. Bunch of idiots for the most part.
I feel the same way. He says " I feel like in the US", and it's always bad. He's obviously never seen the US in a crisis. I've been through devastating hurricanes, and the way people come together, and help each other, is a thing of beauty. I love our county, and the people here, who btw, help others all around the world after disasters, and even now are sending aid to the people of Ukraine.
Also, kind of curious, since Ukraine is his new home, why he's not staying to fight alongside of the other untrained, but brave young men?
Oh I don't know, I'm English with American family and Americans can be 50/50 we find. Some can't do enough to help and others would simply walk past you if you were on fire. I think it's the same in every country, people wanting to help and others who dont.
To be fair Southern California is the most selfish awful greedy place in the USA. Thats where he's from a place where abject poverty and blind opulence live side by side. Every time I visit SoCal I feel terrible for it being an example of America. I hope if Putin Nukes us that that's where it hits, that's the best possible outcome of all this.

He really doesn’t have the street smarts when it’s a chaos in the city, he had to call Bald & Bankrupt to help him navigate out of Kyiv. Remember the airports were shut and he couldn’t just go online and but bus or train tickets. Bald got the ticket out of train and Bald got both of them in train. Where was all those friends he had in Kyiv??
This guy in indebted to Bald & Bankrupt for saving his life.
I know this is wrong to say but I quite frankly find it amusing. I know its not what were supposed to be saying but his lack of self awareness and inability to help and sacrifice even just a bit for the sake of others struggling makes me think there's something psychologically off about him. It's possible he's aspergers or is socially autistic. I think other people around him notice he's off as well.
My heart breaks for all these people.
Glad you all made it out safely.
Slava Ukraini!
Watching yours and balds videos brings home the realness of this horrible situation. The quietness of everything made it hit home. The children the pets just hole suffering of this is so upsetting. Im glad you and bald are safe along with every single person on that train. Massive respect and love to the people keeping the trains going and taking everyone yo safty. Watching this from the my safe home in uk made me feel guilty and also massively upset along with anger. My prayers and love to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏 ❤️
Pretty wild. You two escaping from a warzone, specifically the primary target of the invading force. Ukrainian officials just arrived at the Belarus border to start talks with Russian officials - let's hope it goes well and this madness can end. - WW
Its a warzone but not a normal war. Russia did not bomb infra or attack civilian areas. Orelse they wouldn't be able to take the train or broadcast their TH-cam.
Russia is now at nuclear high alert. US is now at defcon 3. Lets hope for the best.
@@andyd5071 Russian bot, go troll somewhere else
The talks are only for buying time.
@@MrWr99 Unfortunately, u r right. Just looking at the head of the Russian delegation, you can tell they are not serious and are just biding time.
My wife is Russian so you can imagine what our house is like at this terrible time , I never thought John would leave as he had made it his home but Bald has no ties it seems , it must be so embarrassing for men having to leave when others don’t have that choice very scary
True but all of his videos are showing all men leaving. Young Ukrainian men and everyone. The main stream media in America lies. They pretend all able bodied Ukrainian men are fighting. Not true apparently
@@heatherdean101 true my thoughts when I saw the films
@@heatherdean101 Then it makes you wonder if a full scale invasion is actually happening. I fully doubt it.
I’ve noticed this about a lot of expats, they leave their home countries because they have baggage about it and want to escape... but when shit hits the fan in their adopted homes they will go back to America. Because they are privileged. I meet a lot of these types of expats, and I find it exhausting at times. I get there are issues back home. But the kindest people I’ve met have been in America. It’s a beautiful country with warm loving people. It’s too bad Johnny hasn’t had that experience. And then he bad mouths his country to Ben who is not American, what a shame. I’m an American who lives abroad and I meet a lot of Americans here who are all running away from something. I however would love to one day be able to go home (I’m living overseas due to family reasons). I am an immigrant to the US and I love my country. Maybe this is the diferencie between expats and immigrants. Expats geoarbritrage and leave, immigrants make their adopted nation their homes. I love America and if there was a war I wouldn’t leave, I would stay to defend it.
American Schools teach kids to hate America. Sure not all fall for it but a lot do. America to me is the people, not the selfish reckless government.
God bless you for vowing to defend our country. 🇺🇸
America has its issues and they are easy to criticize but as a Bosnian Refugee who went through what these Ukrainians are going through I'd agree America is more of a home to me than Bosnia will ever be. We even resided in Germany for six years granted I'd say generally life quality was much higher but unfournatley they booted us after six years due to our refugee status. We had nothing to go back to in Bosnia so the States were our only salvation at the time for Many Bosnians and many have made it a second home. Americans have just been spoiled. I'd agree that certain freedoms are easier to come by in Europe that's the nature of the socialist system. Capitalism does swallow some whole and I understand the frustration, but to bad mouth, this country is a little silly.
If there was ever a war happening in America , you would see the same kindness to strangers helping people in need , the way you see with the Ukrainian people. As an American I saw the same kindness in NYC during 9/11, and in Hurricane Sandy. I don’t know why Johnny keeps ragging on about Americans . Let’s keep the focus on the Ukrainian people and the crisis that they are going through without making these backhanded comments about your homeland. Even the expats from different countries that you speak to when you say such things about Americans , just look at you and smile with a cringe because really they’re embarrassed for what you are saying when you make those unnecessary comparisons.
Need some milk
Johnny constantly bashing the US for being selfish whilst happily sleeping in place of the others and filming bald helping rather than joining in is irony at its finest
Is Johnny not from San Francisco, that not the true irony? I also guess that allows him to have his opinions, not that i'm saying they are correct.
heard the ukranian arent letting black people get into the trains, dunno if its just propaganda or, if its actually true, that leaves a really bad image of racism on the ukranians, this guy also trash talks latin america and other places
Johnny judges everyone while consistently making terrible decisions. His big ass buys groceries that should be for locals that can't leave while he shames locals for buying too much. In one video he laughed when someone told him how much they earn per year. He has no decency or filter. Then he trashes the USA every chance he gets. Johnny is trash.
Crazy … you’d think they’d have some dignity.
His arrogance and ignorance is constantly on display.
“In the US…..” Johnny SHUT UP. I roll my eyes like bald 🙄
Go live in Mongolia then Johnny if you complain everywhere you go.
@@Doriamo I would def. Watch him explore Mongolia tbh
dudes a taker.. that's pretty clear
@@valtervalter2584 same tbh haha
I was thinking the same thing. I enjoy watching Johnny's content, but the dude takes shots at the American people in every video lol pretty sure there are both sides of the coin in both countries. Good people looking to help out their fellow man, and people looking to take advantage. It's not an absolute on either side like he always tries to paint it as. Pretty stupid.
Wish you all the best Johnny and Bald,
Prayers for Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏🏼
Bald always wanted to find out "how it was during soviet". Now he knows how. That is how it was
Soviet is now in Russia. No SWIFT, no money, no flighs to other countries, no future. The closest to normal people are in prisons, the youngest one's are dying in war. Really accurate.
I like both Ukraine and Russia I’ve only been Kiev as it’s easier being British I hope this gets resolved let’s not forget Russia and it’s civilians are also suffering cos of this and it’s not their fault either we need both these great countries strong it affects the rest of Europe as well
There was nothing like this during Soviet times that is if you weren't in Afghanistan during the 80s
@@Margo-uu5mx Throught Russian History they tried to cripple Russia and it always stood up from its knees. They thought that they defeated Russia either when the Mongols invaded, when Germany invaded, when the USSR collapsed or now and it always stood its ground. Russia has enough reccources to live cut off from the west. The west is anyway loosing to China right now.
@@revolter7094 Putin pkayed ya'll like a fiddle.
Bald just handing money to a babushka chokes me up. Johnny meanwhile judging random guy in a grocery store for buying supplies, not so much. Still like you both, just still a bit chafed from watching that cringey footage. Glad you guys got out, stay safe;
Agreed. That video was odd
He’s always cringy and asinine
I’ve only been watching both of them since around November but they come across as 2 very different kind of people. Bald makes me feel warm inside watching him and makes me want to get on my bike and ride round Europe again, Johnny, we’ll, I’m struggling to stick with him the last few months, not sure I’ll be here much longer. Bashing America and foreigners, I love Ukraine, I love Ukraine that’s why I’m staying here he says, first opportunity he runs to another country.
@@northernimagesphotography he's a clueless, babbling i(*&SD .
im staying, i will not leave i will give my life to protect my family and the ones that i love, and yes im a u.s citizen i will never flea, this is the most amazing country in the world
DM me ! I’m here too !
And I’m fighting
You still alive
Wishing you and Bald a safe return home. Thanks Johnny for your excellent reporting so far.
Johnny's no different than the Americans he makes fun of. Bald is clearly doing all the work here, helping out babushkas and other families.
Johny isn't a cool guy at all, very uninformed and ignorant. Like the last video where he got pissed off at people for stocking up on food during a FUCKING WAR! The dudes an idiot. Benjamin is very kind, generous and helpful to anyone around who needs it.
No he’s worse. Every American that I’ve shown johnnys videos to says he’s a bumbling idiot. He acted like a sheltered child through this whole situation
I really dont quite understand why bald hangs out with him tbh. Bald is such a well-informed, sensitive (you can tell how much he cares about the quality of his videos, and their narrative track), and savvy guy. I can’t imagine convos with Johnny FD are super interesting, doesn’t seem like he shares Bald’s passion for Soviet relics, doesn’t have exactly the same kind of travel/life experience-I can’t see him getting too much out of the relationship unless Johnny is actually a very capable bodyguard.
@@AvanaVana lol they both love to felate authoritarians and think we should be ruled under a thumb of a dictator.
There is enough evidence in both of their old videos to see that they both thought russia was in the right to insinuate war but now that it happens they both are afraid. Hahahah
So glad they both finally got to find out just what it was like for all the poor people they usually step over to make money on their videos
@@AvanaVana from my understanding which is purely anecdotal, Johnny is interested in Ukraine because he is invested in certain aspects of the country, like real estate and privately other stuff.
Watched Bald's vid on this trip the other day. Nice to see things from this side. Glad you opted to leave. Sucks that you haven't lived there for long. Hopefully the day will come when you can return.
Bald is the pro here. I watched his too. Rescue of a fussy young man. Hmm.
I'm glad you guys got out safe! Watching with horror from Moscow. Hoping peace negotiations can be successful.
Нет войне!
Walk your *** down to the ******* and take out you know who!
you're correct for many parts of the united states but condemning the whole of this vast country is bad taste
Media feeds on this sentiment and when does it stop? When is it all of a sudden all Russians are this?
It's your Homeland Johnny so why are you not fighting and helping ?
He took down my comment if you thought this was your home pick up a gun and defend it like a man
Johnny left 3 days ago on the 25th (visible at 4:53)
Couldn't imagine how stressful that would be . Try to stay safe both of you.
@@markpedzinski4950
Why would he want to fight the Russian? Mark Pedzinski need to go to Ukraine and fight the Russian
Good luck to you Johnny and Mr Bald.
Lol. “Mr. Bald” 🤭
@@markpedzinski4950 yes little cowards
I’ve been hunting and scouting the internet for real, unedited reality on the ground in Ukraine, and this is all I can find!! Thanks.
Trust me you dont want to see that
You've found a clown's channel, sorry
bald has the best content
Go to r/combatfootage
I mean all you have to do is go to Twitter/4Chan and see a bunch of corpses, nothing fancy, a lot of misinformation though.
Benjamin is a student of history and understands the gravity and context of the situation. It is quite dire, despite the calm. It takes a group effort and simple kindnesses to survive.
Johnny on the other hand doesn't get it. Benjamin saved his life getting him on those trains.
