  • Thanks Again 'Dave' for coming onto the Podcast and talking about your first hand experience fighting in Ukraine. With both the Legion and other units.
    If you're new here thanks for coming across, I served in the Australian Infantry from 2014-2021, With a tour to Afghanistan as a crew commander of a Armoured Mobility Vehicle.
    Upon my Return I was unexpectedly diagnosed with a Incurable and Inoperable Brain tumour that is slowly killing me. I was also awarded the Queens Order of Australia Medal (OAM) hence the post nominals after my name. Then Being medically separated from the Army I flew to Ukraine in 2022 for 6.5months and now make content full time. I really appreciate you being here Thankyou

    We had many of these war tourists in Croatia 91-96. Some literally were weekend warriors. Working Mo-Fr, then came to fight Sa-Su. Also steal, went to beaches, left front areas wide open without notice. Stole cars, filled them up with stolen goods & drove home. Murdered, r@ped, did all kinds of crimes for their pleasure. When realized, many of them were converted to fertilizers by our Croatian Officers. Many Sociopaths.

    Just stumbled upon your channel and the podcast. I'm a Ukrainian/American. I was born in Ukraine and brought to the United States as a child, by my parents. Served in the US Army, 2003-2015. (11Bravo, infantry, air-assault) had multiple deployments to Iraq, Africa and Afghanistan. During my last Afghanistan deployment, I got injured in Kunar Province, Pech River Valley, which eventually got me a medical discharge from the army. When the Russo-Ukrainian war kicked off, in February 2022, i packed my bags and just flew into Poland. From there I made my way into Ukraine and signed with International Legion. Who is this guy? Because I briefly was with second Battalion. There were about 10 Aussies all together. All were great guys.Then, me being born in Ukraine, I was able to sign with Ukrainian Armed Forces. They had better terms, at least for me. Great time in Legion though, great guys. Until the Victory 💪

    I had heard a bunch of foreign legion were dudes who couldnt get into the Aus army because of convictions or what ever. Im sure there's professional teams over there though

      ​@@trollmcclure1884If you go down the rabbit hole you'll find some of the top people calling the shots at TH-cam are Chinese Nationals with an apparent agenda. Especially when it comes to reporting on the Chinese.
      By default, anything that the Chinese would find needs censorship in their own country will also get a shadow ban on this platform.
      That's one of the reasons the war in Ukraine is heavily suppressed here. China's intervention is real, and something they do not want talked about.
      So they will auto shadow ban anything that covers the war from a non Chinese, and also Russian, perspective.

They definitely keep a closer eye or tighter leash on foreign even allied channels. Still pretty loose compared to fb and the like. It’s still better than some other country’s version of TH-cam. I think it’s actually pretty amazing compared to the media from previous wars. Can’t imagine what it would have been like on 9/12 if TH-cam was as big as it is now.

    However, still waiting for a Wagner fighter,

    Or maybe one of the Ukrainian heroes that is now sadly an amputee, their accounts would be far more interesting than the mercenaries we seem to hear from all the time.

      "still waiting for a Wagner fighter"
      Will never happen on this channel. They rarely talk even in Russian information space, and they have no reason to talk to an enemy.
      Here is a glimpse from an interview which is available in Russian as a text version (I ran it through google translate and polished it a bit, since I speak Russian). It is from Feb 2023. To find it, look for keywords "Роман с Вагнером".
      _______
      In the colony, he made a bet on Prigozhin. Every second person died. That's what the convict, who returned from Wagner, says today. There he understood everything about thieves and politics. And it's better not to get captured. If they understood that they were a convict, they'd kill them.
      - Three options: return alive, pardoned, disabled, perish? I listed to my rare interlocutor.
      - About to ending up dead - not to be ruled out. A disabled person - to each his own. Everyone understood: the bet would either play or not, - he answered measuredly.
      Unlike most people you set up a conversation with, he surprisingly did not require a lot of explanations, examples, promises to agree on the transcript of the audio recording. Although I was preparing for the opposite - I thought I'd have it pretty hard. He politely, but in a businesslike way, walked into the editorial office, in a second he got used to it, as if he had been doing it the tenth time. He spoke calmly and answered quickly. Not a single exclamation mark. Never pressed for any heroism. As if we were talking about a lathe with a workman who was tired after a night shift.
      - How it was?
      - Gathered in the hall. Prigozhin said what was possible and what was not. Like, guys decide.
      - Convinced?
      - Offered. And he kept all his words.
      Roman received his last term in 2020 - two and a half for theft. Was supposed to leave Yablonevka, which is near the Ladoga railway station, on February 18, 2023. But he returned to Petersburg early. Last summer, he enlisted in the Wagner PMC.
      47news knows for sure that our guest was convicted three times, including 15 years for murder. He himself is from the Krasnoselsky district. Today he is 50.
      ... ... ...
      - Would you like this to be over?
      - Certainly.
      - Why?
      - It's not worth the death of the boys.
      - So you are for peace?
      - I'm not saying - let's cut the throats of every single Ukrainian. For what? They are being pushed into this. You fly into a trench, and his eyes are square, there are not even calluses on his fingers. So what, do I just slaughter him?
      - Of those 46 prisoners, how many returned?
      - 22 operational. The arms and legs are intact.
      - Are there those of your loved ones who are against what is happening?
      - Yes, everyone is against it.
      _______
      It is worth noting that most Wagner fighters are not convicts, and even the recruitment campaign in prisons has been stopped. So the experience of this man was not quite "average".
