I keep coming back to this one. Love the part about maintaining discipline, even if it's by doing something simple as continuing to shave or work out on a daily basis.
I’ve never found anything that has made me wanna do better in so many different ways of my life than this podcast. Its an over used word, but this LITERALLY is the best influence I have ever had. I didn’t know there was a missing piece until this guy completed the puzzle for me. Forever grateful.
I don’t think so. Our means of communication change rapidly and in terms of secure communications that’s consistently being probed, even for friendlies.
Just bought some books on the first Chechen war after watching this podcast. Scary to think that such a brutal war happened in the 90s. Makes other conflicts look like tea parties.
Made all the worse by the USSR's recent collapse and anarchic chaos left in its wake. Chechens love to talk tough about beating the Russians (temporarily) not knowing or omitting the fact they had pretty much every single advantage on their side. Their "victory" was far less a result of Chechen genius and more so a result of Russian stupidity.
+john coffin "Less soldiers" don't mean shit, especially so in a confined and urban environment, do your homework. Air force and artillery don't mean shit either when the majority of the combat is a matter of metres and yards away from the enemy and endangers your own people, along with the civilian population. Helos are bullet/rocket magnets in urban warfare, as Jocko stated. And for every Chechen collaborator (who could just as likely be feeding disinfo) that "knows that terrain" there's a dozen Chechens who know it better. What's your nationality and background?
+mouthman Chechens were armed to the nines with RPG's and other anti-tank weaponry. Bravery alone did not beat the Russians, which is what you are spouting. It takes a high level of stupidity and ignorance to lose the war like Russia did. Again, Russians are not exactly smart, subtle or tactful.
+mouthman "Better trained" the Russian conscripts were NOT better trained at all dude, some of them weren't even given a week's worth. "Better equipped" much like the artillery and airstrikes, this should never be viewed as a primary source of strength, least of all in an urban combat environment. Have you listened to nothing Jocko said? Well led, well trained and well disciplined infantryman are the backbone of any conflict and the key to victory. As for Chechens having "no military" being a bad thing it shows how stumped you are in the understanding of Muslims. Muslim "nations" almost never do possess or rely on conventional armies to fight, they almost always fall back on insurgency and guerilla warfare to succeed, often using their own people as meatshields. Muslims have enough zeal and fanaticism to rebalance all kinds of tactical deficiencies, more so than teenage boys fresh out of Russia's schools, god bless their souls.
+mouthman Yet they were "aiding and supporting" Chechen/Islamic separatism and Jihadist groups all over Russia's southern borders before the WTC were destroyed? Make your mind up which story you want to go with, my distrust in you and your people already wears desperately thin. Nobody here including myself are denying the Russians often act without thinking and are heavy-handed in all their dealings, but compared to what I've seen produced by the Islamic world, specifically the Chechen one eclipses any previous crimes they may have committed. Every single time I speak to an Arab or Muslim about the endless list of disgusting crimes committed by their Islamic peers, they either outright deny it or subtly show sympathy and understanding for them, NEVER do they genuinely and honestly decry or denounce with words, let alone actions what their diseased brethren have done to the "infidels" who I am proud to be amongst. Unfortunately for you, myself and others like me would not go so swiftly as conscripts of Russia, the schoolchildren at Beslan, office workers of Manhattan, nightgoers of Paris or Manchester etc. we would gladly hunt you down and execute every single of one you. Unfortunately for the West our institutions and retarded public have elected suicide over survival and our militaries are severely restrained as a result 😯

Jocko......I worked for the federal government since 1983. I am now retired. I worked for the Bureau of Prisons since 92 at FCI Ft Dix. Anyway, we were in annual training and the Captain was giving a class. Don't remember the topic. He was a new arrival. Somebody in the class had asked him what he was going to do about the terrible moral that has plagued us for years. His response (and I will never forget this) was: "Your morale is your problem. I have a department to run. Life is too short. If you are not happy, go find your happy place." That comment took my breath away. I couldn't believe he said that. AND got away with saying it. Afterwards, morale never came up as a topic of conversation again. The federal government is LOADED with managers that know nothing about leadership.

I listen to this many years after hearing it the first time. But now that Russia has picked a new country to invade, Ukraine. It’s only two weeks into the invasion but seems to me that Russia has not applied the lesson from Chechnya.

Another truly amazing episode but for the record I'm shocked... Maybe I'm wrong but I was expecting the first thing Jocko was going to mention when talking about shooting as a martial art... Discipline🤯🤯🤯. That a side I would love to hear Jocko cover move on the basic training of infantryman firearm training. I also think I might need to go get my some of the lazertag pistols mentioned. 🙌🤜🤛

what about Kadirov? is he good or bad person? cz some people complain that he is killing the chechens and works for putin to swipe chechens from the caucasus..is it true or just propaganda?
Love the podcast, but I wish Jocko would add a bit more context to the situation in post-soviet Russian military, instead of comparing it to the USA military at the time. He does it well in his other podcasts. There is a great book written by a veteran soldier “One Soldier’s war” and it gives a very good understanding on what it was like being in the military during that time. It was a pathetic and a shameful time for the Russian military.
it's worth mentioning the context of the 1st Chechen War. SSSR was collapsing, terrible economical crisis, coups d'état. nouveaux riches oligarchs ruled and bled the country. the army was also in chaos, it lost a huge part of its effective. the last thing Russia wanted was that war. however, the 2nd Chechen War was something very different. the Russian army was reformed and a new strategy was employed. especially it excelled in military intelligence, they managed to pinpoint and eliminate 2 consecutive rebel leaders and their highest ranking officers, plus through politics and diplomacy they brought some important Chechens to the pro Russian camp.
I'm way behind on episodes. For some reason, this one came up on Spotify dated 5/2/21. Listening to this on 6/1/22 as the Russians are invading and using the same tactics in Ukraine is interesting. It doesn't seem that they learned much. The Russian way is always about brut force.
Great video, appreciate the info compilation! Did you know that you actually don't have to have the microphone in your mouth for it to record sound, Jocko? 😃
With all due respect, no untrained guy is walking into a legit competitive boxing gym and 'rocking' anyone on the fight team. The chances of that happening are zero.
I was scrolling through looking to see if this comment was made. Anybody who has ever stepped into the ring even against a boxer way under his weight class or over the hill, etc, but someone who has boxing training and talent; that person knows how untrue the statement is that an untrained guy can beat a trained boxer. Boxers don't just know how to deliver a punch with force and accuracy and speed, they also can take a punch. Punches that put a typical person, even one in top shape, to the ground in pain, don't phase your typical boxer; it's just part of everyday life. MMA has changed, but up until about 10 years ago, you would still see top MMA fighters get knocked out by punches that a boxer would literally laugh at.
@@michaelb1761 Exactly. The fact that boxing fundamentals are one of the must have skills for MMA fighters (along with wrestling take downs, BJJ ground game and Muay Thai clinch and leg kicks) should prove this point. IT IS A LEARNED SKILL that makes all the difference. Just the ability to move around someone who is striking you, while remaining relaxed and alert of openings, is a complete game changer.
Tha was a brutal war.Saw video where chechen troops told a russian soldier he can go free but they shot his finger off then released him.Much worse happen to captured soldiers on both sides.
@@utrinqueparatus4042 Are you serious right now? I know people personally that have gone through so much shit because of Russian soldiers. Do you think they filmed that kind of shit? There are enough documents online where you can find court cases against Russia. Go search a little and you will find enough.
Interesting the similarities of the incompetence and outcomes of the Russian forces in Chechnya as compared to what is happening to them the Ukraine. Would love to hear Jocko’s take from this podcast to what is happening now in Ukraine!
How much experience do you have an American theater of war? Do you have some first hand account you’d like to share to prove what he said is not true? Because if not, please don’t dignify me with a response.
@@2ndAveScents no I've not been indoctrinated by the us and their military if that's what your asking. Ask Japan about what they think about America's collateral damage policy ya nugget.
@@GBDazzler who cares about Imperial Japan, they deserves the nukes after the Nanking incident, Bataan death March, Comfort women, Yamashita gold, sex slavery ring across south east Asia that was worst than the ISIS sex slave rings from Syria to Iraq, Pearl Harbour, experimental torturing on captured POW’s, slaughtering the Koreans, capturing the Philippines, capturing Malaysia, Capturing Vietnam, capturing Indonesia, capturing burma, and many more incidents, etc. Tojo and the Imperial Japan had the shit coming for them and their countryman.
The russians did not in any way, shape or form care about the civillian population in Chechnya. Look at Grozny in 2001. It was declared the most destroyed city by the UN after the Second Chechen War. And those were russian tanks blowing up those buildings, so to compare the Chechen resistance to Al-Qaeda insurgents is nonsense because they were fighting for their lives in those wars, with every advantage being on the aggressors side.
They are compared to AL qaeda because they pushed the same ideology (wahhabism), were proven to be funded by the same source (Saudi Intel) and used the same tactics (terrorism). They also provided many fighters to isis after being defeated militaraly in chechen. It's funny to hear you complain about Russians "not caring about civilians" in a war where the enemy was literally taking hospital and school children as hostages. You've got a lot to learn dude
@@ThePhilstore Djohar dudaev former Sowjet General and he didn’t even know how to make a proper Islamic prayer. Schamil Basaev was anti wahabi. Ruslan Gilaev was a wahabi, but highly loyal… so you dump. Without Russian bombs there are non terrorists….
@@ThePhilstore Chechens at that time and even now are antiarab and antiwahabism, they are sufism inspired traditionally, same goes for most of the turkic nations that end with stan.
@@VigilantGuardian6750 I'm aware.. and like any group or society I'm sure you had a certain spectrum. But it took only a few years to turn it into a wahhabi shithole. And even today under kadyrov the way Islam there is practiced is more to the extreme side. Although I admit me and you probably have a very different standard on what's normal and what's extreme to begin with
@@ThePhilstore Again modern chechenya has nothing to do with wahhabism or ISIS type view of how Islam should be. They are ultraconservative sufi sunni muslims and they have very patriarchal and masculine society with women leading separate lives from men where they retain their femininity. I'm not saying they are best representatives of Islam but they have done some stuff right and those stuff that I may deem right, to you indeed might appear as extreme, but that could be due to you not liking principles and limitation of whats allowed i.e. you are too liberal minded. Religion in west of today is neoliberalism and you might be as well follower of it.
1:18:14 Attacking a person's morale seems like a way to keep someone dominated/subservient.. it seems really common in abusive relationships, one person deferring to or even serving another bossy person, the bossy person's gotta keep them in check and feeling low by regularly insulting them and doing aggressive line-crossing and double standards to keep em feeling lesser, and keep them serving them, keep them from challenging the bossy person.. ITS SO COMMON! Seems like 1 out of 4 relationships (work or personal) have a little of that going on.. but you gotta FIGHT THE POWER, dont take that guff :P rise up, Equality! dont accent double standards or subservient treatment when its not justified. Gimme liberty of give me death :)
its really gross for a man doing that to a woman, cause then its kinda a sex kink, they wanna "break" the woman, have them feel down and feel more dominant.. creepy (i've done that before i think, i didnt realize it.. verbally abuse a girlfriend, she's crying, you feel like the man.. you make up, great makeup sex.. sick cycle) i might not have really done that, but i think that can be a thing, indeed

It seems quite a lot of the time that "common sense", doesn't really exist. A basic platform to stand on is missing with a lot of people, which is what causes so many issues when it comes to communication. Assumptions that others share the same "common sense" as you have, can be a misstep. Hence, communication is quite an important factor to work on, and build up between parties in order to find a "common sense", or rather common ground.
Jiles Rodriguez well said... most especially the part '...asuming thing about others, based on personal positions, or otherwise...' *can't possibly underrate this concept. Only speaking personally, the number of times, i was actually wrong, as i expected another to act according to my personal philosophies and modus operandi is many times more* *than it really being about anothers capabilities* *'give me a baby, and i will give you any kind of man'* It's always the trainer/mentor. Your the artist... the pupil the clay... if they fuck up... you did something wrong
Btw : that russian/Chechen videos dudes are talking about : ---> *nasty business, if you're job isn't learning to kill, mutilate, maim, terrorize, and instill fear in your enemy, stay clear. I'd say it's mildy traumatic to expose yourself to that shit. Desensitization? Maybe. Healthy? No way.*

I don't see anybody else commenting on this but this is awesome: When most people cough, their eyebrows angle downwards and their torso bows downwards during their cough, causing them to look as if they just got punched in the gut. When Jocko coughs, he calmly turns to one side and tosses it out of his system (in a single cough) in the most badass way possible as if saying "Get out of my lungs and get after it you sorry little--" LMFAO Great knowledge, tactics, and ways of thinking in this podcast-as usual. Keep getting after it, everybody.

@@dragonofchaos7843 Finally someone smart, after the terrorists killed Ahmed Kadyrov his son took over and he's very friendly with Putin. The 2nd Chechen war was a different story, unfortunately the only good way to supress hardcore terrorists is to flatten the whole city, you don't want to go in there with tanks and apc vehicles and do streetfighting before crushing it. Having said that even if you do that you haven't killed the ideology, so the smart thing to do is to put a strong local Chechen leader in power who rules with an iron fist. Lets be honest the Chechen rebels got major support from anti-Russian forces, Chechens good or bad are excellent fighters, and Putin is a chess player (look how he owned that idiot Trump). The one thing that starts working in the favor of Superpowers is technology and it will only improve. Russia did much better in Syria for example.

art poirot art poirot art poirot It’s true that the chechens had been living in democracy for hundreds of years. After the arrival of the russians, we embraced Islam as a way to fight off the russians. In the 1997 sharia law was instated. In no way shape or form did it rival taliban or isis in terms of its oppression and lack of freedom. First of all, isis didn’t even exist back then, which completely decredits your argument. Second of all, the caucasian emirate didn’t even have power, and was at constant war with russia.
The Chechen fighters of that war would disowned the Chechen fighters of this war! The only thing Chechen fighters are good for is getting stuck in traffic showing up late to the battle and making sure they got good social media footage! Oh yeah PS they also dye their beards with great ferocity! I don't think they realize with today's high-definition cameras, how silly they look after a couple days of growth without more die to hide their natural hair color!😂

Chechens are Russians as well man. It's like saying Texans are not Americans
@@usertom1967 That's like saying Lakota are New York Italians.
Chechens are North Caucasians of the Vainakh culture group. Russians (Ruskiye) are Eastern Slavs. They both have passports that say they're Russian, but the Russian language makes a distinction. (Rossiyanye, instead of Ruskiye).
I learn something new everyday. This podcast has me thinking, laughing, and learning. The Chechens were bad ass! Off to 113! 💪🏽
❤️
Echo : how do you take down a helicopter?
Jocko : ..NO

Anyone else slightly surprised to not hear them mention creatine, I suppose if you're eating enough steak and/or certain pre workouts you can get your fill, but I figured that've been #1
Yes sir both of you are changing my life as you guys speak and yeah I do have the Book audiobook got it like she's probably wouldn't came out 2015-16 maybe anyhow very grateful of you guys keep it up awesome stuff
Another truly amazing episode but for the record I'm shocked... Maybe I'm wrong but I was expecting the first thing Jocko was going to mention when talking about shooting as a martial art... Discipline🤯🤯🤯. That a side I would love to hear Jocko cover move on the basic training of infantryman firearm training. I also think I might need to go get my some of the lazertag pistols mentioned. 🙌🤜🤛
Am glad war in Chechnya is over .. it was such an ugly war for lack of better word .. and thank God now we can worship God and grow families freely.
Now you guys are famous for being UFC champions
@@mkb2420 yes it's culture now In the caucasus in general
If you are interested in Chechen fighters
Leche Kurbanov - previous Tiekwado world Champ
Boaeser Sayteyev - olympic champion multiple times
Artur Beterbeyev - world Champ in 3 originations

@@laitchdasi Khamzat Chimaev my favorite one
@@mkb2420 he is a Warrior mashAllah
what about Kadirov? is he good or bad person? cz some people complain that he is killing the chechens and works for putin to swipe chechens from the caucasus..is it true or just propaganda?
Glad jocko can wear his headsets properly in the newer episodes haha this was comical a bit
He was a radioman as well
Lololol
This podcast is a National Treasure.
Ahh the two Chechyna wars that most people would NOT know happened or care in the West. Thank you for sharing this.
Hope everyone is listening to 1:44:00. Always a great learning experience!
Love the podcast, but I wish Jocko would add a bit more context to the situation in post-soviet Russian military, instead of comparing it to the USA military at the time. He does it well in his other podcasts.
There is a great book written by a veteran soldier “One Soldier’s war” and it gives a very good understanding on what it was like being in the military during that time. It was a pathetic and a shameful time for the Russian military.
Yes, Jocko *is* too intense. And that is a good thing.
Too intense? Good.
Thank god, it's here. I needed this.
it's worth mentioning the context of the 1st Chechen War. SSSR was collapsing, terrible economical crisis, coups d'état. nouveaux riches oligarchs ruled and bled the country. the army was also in chaos, it lost a huge part of its effective. the last thing Russia wanted was that war.
however, the 2nd Chechen War was something very different. the Russian army was reformed and a new strategy was employed. especially it excelled in military intelligence, they managed to pinpoint and eliminate 2 consecutive rebel leaders and their highest ranking officers, plus through politics and diplomacy they brought some important Chechens to the pro Russian camp.
It's a pity they didn't use nuclear weapons to exterminate any life form and let a forest grow there for centuries.
strategy my ass. they just bombed it
I'm way behind on episodes. For some reason, this one came up on Spotify dated 5/2/21. Listening to this on 6/1/22 as the Russians are invading and using the same tactics in Ukraine is interesting. It doesn't seem that they learned much. The Russian way is always about brut force.
Great video, appreciate the info compilation!
Did you know that you actually don't have to have the microphone in your mouth for it to record sound, Jocko? 😃
Jocko is not intense per se...he delivers the message with an Intensity that emphasizes its importance
Went to listen to this on Apple Podcasts, March 2022, and it looks like it was taken down. Strange.
Probably Russian trollls took it down
With all due respect, no untrained guy is walking into a legit competitive boxing gym and 'rocking' anyone on the fight team. The chances of that happening are zero.
Check your ego sir.
@@michaeltucker4864 How are you perceiving ego driving my statement? Cheers
I was scrolling through looking to see if this comment was made. Anybody who has ever stepped into the ring even against a boxer way under his weight class or over the hill, etc, but someone who has boxing training and talent; that person knows how untrue the statement is that an untrained guy can beat a trained boxer. Boxers don't just know how to deliver a punch with force and accuracy and speed, they also can take a punch. Punches that put a typical person, even one in top shape, to the ground in pain, don't phase your typical boxer; it's just part of everyday life. MMA has changed, but up until about 10 years ago, you would still see top MMA fighters get knocked out by punches that a boxer would literally laugh at.
@@michaelb1761 Exactly. The fact that boxing fundamentals are one of the must have skills for MMA fighters (along with wrestling take downs, BJJ ground game and Muay Thai clinch and leg kicks) should prove this point. IT IS A LEARNED SKILL that makes all the difference. Just the ability to move around someone who is striking you, while remaining relaxed and alert of openings, is a complete game changer.
Tha was a brutal war.Saw video where chechen troops told a russian soldier he can go free but they shot his finger off then released him.Much worse happen to captured soldiers on both sides.
I've yet to see a single video of Russians committing atrocities against Chechen civilians, please notify me if you can find one.
@@utrinqueparatus4042 Are you serious right now? I know people personally that have gone through so much shit because of Russian soldiers. Do you think they filmed that kind of shit? There are enough documents online where you can find court cases against Russia. Go search a little and you will find enough.
@@utrinqueparatus4042 Nobody needs to notify you, you should go and do some digging. You are talking like you were there in that war
Interesting the similarities of the incompetence and outcomes of the Russian forces in Chechnya as compared to what is happening to them the Ukraine. Would love to hear Jocko’s take from this podcast to what is happening now in Ukraine!
The man the legend Anatoly Lebed served in the Afghan war, Kosovo war, Second Chechen war, Russian Georgian war. Hero of the Russian Federation.
Lebed wasn't a hero for the soldiers and the army at all to be fair. Not even close
Yet another great podcast.
Thanks Jocko for a great podcast!
Alright Jocko and Echo, just ordered my Krill Oil supplements from Onnit. Gonna give it a try.
onnit is legit, try the alpha brain it speaks for its self.
would be amazing to see that ppt
This is a tiny bit heavy but if Jocko starts reading bedtime stories, I’m in.
“We’re Americans we care about collateral damage”
😂😂😂😂😂 can’t believe he kept a straight face
How much experience do you have an American theater of war?
Do you have some first hand account you’d like to share to prove what he said is not true?
Because if not, please don’t dignify me with a response.
@@2ndAveScents no I've not been indoctrinated by the us and their military if that's what your asking.
Ask Japan about what they think about America's collateral damage policy ya nugget.
@@GBDazzler who cares about Imperial Japan, they deserves the nukes after the Nanking incident, Bataan death March, Comfort women, Yamashita gold, sex slavery ring across south east Asia that was worst than the ISIS sex slave rings from Syria to Iraq, Pearl Harbour, experimental torturing on captured POW’s, slaughtering the Koreans, capturing the Philippines, capturing Malaysia, Capturing Vietnam, capturing Indonesia, capturing burma, and many more incidents, etc. Tojo and the Imperial Japan had the shit coming for them and their countryman.
1:40 the way of the warrior IS death.

This episode is missing from both Google Podcast and Pandora. As of 9/27/21.
39:02 Thats impressive wow
The russians did not in any way, shape or form care about the civillian population in Chechnya. Look at Grozny in 2001. It was declared the most destroyed city by the UN after the Second Chechen War. And those were russian tanks blowing up those buildings, so to compare the Chechen resistance to Al-Qaeda insurgents is nonsense because they were fighting for their lives in those wars, with every advantage being on the aggressors side.
They are compared to AL qaeda because they pushed the same ideology (wahhabism), were proven to be funded by the same source (Saudi Intel) and used the same tactics (terrorism). They also provided many fighters to isis after being defeated militaraly in chechen. It's funny to hear you complain about Russians "not caring about civilians" in a war where the enemy was literally taking hospital and school children as hostages. You've got a lot to learn dude
@@ThePhilstore Djohar dudaev former Sowjet General and he didn’t even know how to make a proper Islamic prayer. Schamil Basaev was anti wahabi. Ruslan Gilaev was a wahabi, but highly loyal… so you dump. Without Russian bombs there are non terrorists….
@@ThePhilstore Chechens at that time and even now are antiarab and antiwahabism, they are sufism inspired traditionally, same goes for most of the turkic nations that end with stan.
@@VigilantGuardian6750 I'm aware.. and like any group or society I'm sure you had a certain spectrum. But it took only a few years to turn it into a wahhabi shithole. And even today under kadyrov the way Islam there is practiced is more to the extreme side. Although I admit me and you probably have a very different standard on what's normal and what's extreme to begin with
@@ThePhilstore Again modern chechenya has nothing to do with wahhabism or ISIS type view of how Islam should be. They are ultraconservative sufi sunni muslims and they have very patriarchal and masculine society with women leading separate lives from men where they retain their femininity. I'm not saying they are best representatives of Islam but they have done some stuff right and those stuff that I may deem right, to you indeed might appear as extreme, but that could be due to you not liking principles and limitation of whats allowed i.e. you are too liberal minded. Religion in west of today is neoliberalism and you might be as well follower of it.
Asking Jocko about BUD/S might be about the most annoying thing you can do to him 🤣
Chechens are BADASS
Love CPT Patriquin’s PowerPoint, Rest In Peace. I wish every war had a PowerPoint, should be the gold standard!
“They [the media] never portray the Iraqi people as normal people who live normal lives” this. 10/10
1:55:35 only on jocko will you hear “the only time it will work is when handling a prisoner” 👏🏽😂
supplements are a good addition to meals. they provide those extra cals w/out having to eat a whole meal! you know that guys! :)
1:18:14 Attacking a person's morale seems like a way to keep someone dominated/subservient.. it seems really common in abusive relationships, one person deferring to or even serving another bossy person, the bossy person's gotta keep them in check and feeling low by regularly insulting them and doing aggressive line-crossing and double standards to keep em feeling lesser, and keep them serving them, keep them from challenging the bossy person.. ITS SO COMMON! Seems like 1 out of 4 relationships (work or personal) have a little of that going on.. but you gotta FIGHT THE POWER, dont take that guff :P rise up, Equality! dont accent double standards or subservient treatment when its not justified. Gimme liberty of give me death :)
its really gross for a man doing that to a woman, cause then its kinda a sex kink, they wanna "break" the woman, have them feel down and feel more dominant.. creepy (i've done that before i think, i didnt realize it.. verbally abuse a girlfriend, she's crying, you feel like the man.. you make up, great makeup sex.. sick cycle) i might not have really done that, but i think that can be a thing, indeed
So just noticed this episode is not on Spotify... Hmmmm
It’s also not on Apple Podcasts. I was trying to listen to it this am. What gives?
THANK U JOCKO AND ECHO

They took this off Spotify too hardcore I quess
Jocko: i only trust a few people in my life.
Echo: O...
It seems quite a lot of the time that "common sense", doesn't really exist. A basic platform to stand on is missing with a lot of people, which is what causes so many issues when it comes to communication. Assumptions that others share the same "common sense" as you have, can be a misstep. Hence, communication is quite an important factor to work on, and build up between parties in order to find a "common sense", or rather common ground.
Jiles Rodriguez well said... most especially the part '...asuming thing about others, based on personal positions, or otherwise...'
*can't possibly underrate this concept. Only speaking personally, the number of times, i was actually wrong, as i expected another to act according to my personal philosophies and modus operandi is many times more*
*than it really being about anothers capabilities*
*'give me a baby, and i will give you any kind of man'*
It's always the trainer/mentor. Your the artist... the pupil the clay... if they fuck up... you did something wrong
Btw : that russian/Chechen videos dudes are talking about :
---> *nasty business, if you're job isn't learning to kill, mutilate, maim, terrorize, and instill fear in your enemy, stay clear. I'd say it's mildy traumatic to expose yourself to that shit. Desensitization? Maybe. Healthy? No way.*
+d. cypher Many of the Chechen/Jihadist vermin responsible for filming and perpetrating in those videos have long since been terminated and sent to hell by Spetsnaz and other clandestine Russian units. Many more yet to be killed, I hope.
+d. cypher The only thing those videos should inspire is revenge, not fear 👍
Utrinque Paratus well said... we are warriors...or at least have had the warrior within us... brought out.
Some , who know not...warfare, this kind of horribly inhumane video... can be damaging to those weak kneed and unhardened.
Just saying...
I don't see anybody else commenting on this but this is awesome: When most people cough, their eyebrows angle downwards and their torso bows downwards during their cough, causing them to look as if they just got punched in the gut. When Jocko coughs, he calmly turns to one side and tosses it out of his system (in a single cough) in the most badass way possible as if saying "Get out of my lungs and get after it you sorry little--" LMFAO
Great knowledge, tactics, and ways of thinking in this podcast-as usual. Keep getting after it, everybody.
Why this aint on spotify
Wait, why isn't this episode on spotify?
if you watch in 144p its like old film
Well losses come with huge amount of excuses. But you can’t deny that small nation with smaller population than enemy’s whole army without nothing except ak47 and rpgs kicked super power’s butt ( with God’s will)
Wise... youre like a massive buddha with no hair.
Most Chechen rebel leaders of that era are now either dead, captured or poisoned. Let Jocko do one about Afghanistan currently.
Isn’t it because of Ahmed kadyrov ?
@@dragonofchaos7843 Finally someone smart, after the terrorists killed Ahmed Kadyrov his son took over and he's very friendly with Putin. The 2nd Chechen war was a different story, unfortunately the only good way to supress hardcore terrorists is to flatten the whole city, you don't want to go in there with tanks and apc vehicles and do streetfighting before crushing it. Having said that even if you do that you haven't killed the ideology, so the smart thing to do is to put a strong local Chechen leader in power who rules with an iron fist. Lets be honest the Chechen rebels got major support from anti-Russian forces, Chechens good or bad are excellent fighters, and Putin is a chess player (look how he owned that idiot Trump). The one thing that starts working in the favor of Superpowers is technology and it will only improve. Russia did much better in Syria for example.
@@maxclaire732 However, it was an internal conflict within the Soviet-trained army in 1994. Dzhokhar Dudayev was pretty moderate general.
I don’t remember what Putin stole from the US. Maybe you can enlighten us.
@@maxclaire732 "Terrorists" you seem to forget that Akhmat Kadyrov was the one who called in a jihad which began the radicalization of the nationalists.
Seems the US Military studied the 1st Russia-Chechnya conflict, and applied the lessons, much more than the Russians did.
Jocko should read a book called one soldiers war by arkady babchenko on how the Russian army was its own worst enemy

Chechens are true warriors, chechens wanted no war, they wanted to get freedom.
Chechens fought for freedom from the bloody Russian empire.
Freedom? I don't recall sharia law being very free lol
art poirot Chechens has had democracy for hundreds of years before the russians came
@@user-fw4uh7ob2s no they didn't
@@user-fw4uh7ob2s and even if they did it is irrelevant. They were aiming too and briefly succeeded in setting up an Islamic emirate that rivaled the taliban and isis in terms of its oppression and lack of freedom.
art poirot art poirot art poirot It’s true that the chechens had been living in democracy for hundreds of years. After the arrival of the russians, we embraced Islam as a way to fight off the russians. In the 1997 sharia law was instated. In no way shape or form did it rival taliban or isis in terms of its oppression and lack of freedom. First of all, isis didn’t even exist back then, which completely decredits your argument. Second of all, the caucasian emirate didn’t even have power, and was at constant war with russia.

Anyone watching this in February of 2022?
The Chechen fighters of that war would disowned the Chechen fighters of this war! The only thing Chechen fighters are good for is getting stuck in traffic showing up late to the battle and making sure they got good social media footage!
Oh yeah PS they also dye their beards with great ferocity! I don't think they realize with today's high-definition cameras, how silly they look after a couple days of growth without more die to hide their natural hair color!😂
