@@ybvbYes, you're right. But all of that "rant", as Vlad called his piece here, is super important. Vlad has a unique way of looking at the world, and an equally unique way of explaining it all to his audience. Brilliant man.
@@ybvb "Our crisis of trust is creating a fertile environment for the flourishing of disinformation, rather than saying that the disinformation is . . . the cause of our crisis." Not sure I'm fully on board with this, but the man does make a point worth considering.
From Canada: These 4 people are remarkable. Everyone of them has a different vantage point on the Russian savagery but every single one of them provides us with better information, analysis, and good sense than any of the mass media or, I daresay, any of the the many governments involved.

Bravo! Surely a fortnightly foursome beckons? More defensive systems to protect Ukrainian infrastructure are crucial - morale & external perception maybe sufficient now, but may look very different after a hard winter.
Another Canadian here helping as much as I can... I've written the CBC many times regarding their ridiculous pro Russian stance in their world news reports. It is imperative that CBC support and report on Ukraine 1st and foremost because Canada supports Ukraine unconditionally but unfortunately their current bias is towards Kremlin talking points.
Jake, I recently discovered your channel, and I love it! I'm a retired Naval Aviator and retired airline pilot who has traveled and is traveling the world. My wife is native Polish... everywhere we go, we encounter Russians laughing and vacationing without a care in the world... all while Ukraine is being decimated and is fighting for its survival. It is disgusting that the West is not putting severe restrictions on the travel of Russian citizens. Could you possibly do a segment on why this is being allowed... and what, if anything, is going to be done to rectify this injustice? Slava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦
You are spot on... we have neighbours at our cottage in Ontario, Canada, who are pro Putlin Russian nationalists, they proudly travelled to Russia for holidays this past May which makes me wonder what else was on their agenda (i.e.: what are they doing to help their beloved motherland.... perhaps bring semiconductors or other embargoed goods?)
I agree with you completely. I have had to alter vacation plans because I know certain places are infested with Russians and I won’t subject myself to their presence.
Anna is beautiful and smart in all respects! What a great voice for the Ukrainian people and their fight against Russia! You are all playing an important role in this conflict!!!! Slava Ukraine🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
now that u mention it, I saw a big number or interviews that Jon did with a lot of ukrainian feminine voices. I cannot but be in awe how different the articulate AND beautiful ukrainian women tend to be, while just look at the "strong women" promoted by rushist regime...ugly souls as they lack surely any physical beauty. As putler said, the russian hookers are "the best" . Well I did not hear any "russian hooker association" supporting the war..Some ugly z patriots trying some stunts on vacation in the west...That is all. No opinion, no academic realty and reasoning. So kuddos to ukrainian women that are great ambassadors for Ukraine, just watch a handful of them interviewed by Jonathan on Silicon Curtain. Chapeau as we say in french Canada!
I so agree, when this war started and news voices were limited and repetitive I discovered you tube. ANNA & Arthur Rehi were my 1st subscribers (when I worked out what that means) I have discovered pro russian site that soon made my blood pressure boil with discrepancy. Jake Broe & Silcon curtain I also follow along with Starsky & Ukraine Matters. Know Vlad is included. Thank you for your work, it is appreciated. I hope to see one grand party together when with war is over. Slava Ukraine. One of many admirers
Great panel discussion. Thank you again Jake, Anna, Vlad and Jonathan. Just like the last time, Jake did a fantastic job of preparing and of chairing a super session.
Just for the record, Jake, this format is amazing, and shows how normal democracy is just about people connecting freely without fear of retribution by terrible leaders.
Excellent gathering! I loved how Anna cut to the most important aspect of this war in her summation. While geopolitics has its place in study, reality is the most important thing to not lose sight of. The reality is Russia under Putin's leadership is an aggressor terrorist nation that is killing innocent Ukrainians daily. It is unacceptable and must stop. A unity of nations can achieve this. The will is all that is needed. Let's make it happen! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦
Omg the best of the best..Anna the beauty of Ukraine very gorgeous woman and very smart..Jake you have a awesome friendship with awesome people especially Anna..I thank you all for your hard work and awesome videos..Jake taking the lead especially your funny comments and expressions that is worth a million..again thankyou all an Glory to Ukraine..from Wolf Pack Family from San Diego USA 🐺🐺🐺
at 5:02 Jake introduces himself as *WHAT? lol...We all know you as a 'U.S. Airforce Force Vet' who served as a 'Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer'... And your "side hustle" is transformative💙💛
I also follow Inside Russia by Konstantin on TH-cam He is often interviewed by Jonathan Fink too.. Excellent viewing Konstantin livestreams daily.. he's great value..❤
Anna, the voice of Ukraine. Jake, i am a big fan of you. Quality work. Vlad, such a interesting, smart and down to earth guy. This is all higher quality and better "entertaiment" than main stream media. Thank you!
My quotation mark on the word: entertainment was used to underline the sarcasm of it being enternaining entertainment. They are engaging people to listen to. But off course the topic of conversation is indeed not funny at all. @davidl.7317
Thank you Jake, Anna, Johnathan and Vlad. Nice to see the friendship. And yes, I would like to see more opinions from African, South American and Asian countries.
Jonathan is correct in saying the other Continents need special attention. Whilst focusing attention on Ukraine. The wolf is prowling round the back in horrifying ways.
Great guest and conversations, thank you Jake and all your guests, watch Anna a lot, as an Ukraine citizen she gives a very good insight to how the people feel on the ground, invaluable.
What stands out in this round table is how ordinary people can do extraordinary things when the situation requires. From ordinary people to polished, slick speakers. Most people are full of "um" and pauses and clumsy explanations when they are in the spotlight but this is smooth, clear, focused, natural... brilliant.
This was great. I want to say the best ever @Jake Broe. But I said that last week and I bet I'll say it every roundtable. I'll be restreaming. There is no way to express how much I enjoy this even though I often seem distracted. Have fun at the wedding. 👩🌾🌻🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦
Vlad is definitely correct, Sweden is firmly on Ukraine' side. I think Putin would at most get an 1-2% approval rate. Trump, by the way, I think had an approval rate of 5% when he was the president of the US. In Finland Trump was even more unpopular, and I'm convinced that Putin wouldn't get much support there either. Greetings from Sweden, and long live Ukraine! / Björn
I'm proud to see us remember our brotherhood when it matters. We poke fun at each other because we've fought so many wars, so traditions must be upheld. But deep down the Nordics stick like glue, and I'm very happy to see that our eastward cousins, the Baltics, are as much "in the gang" today as they were back in the mid to late 90s when I was training Estonian soldiers under the NB8 Security Initiative because they wanted nothing more than get as far away from Russia as fast as possible. /A Dane.
I actually feel proud to be part of the “beautiful community”. Thank you so much for that feeling! I’m from The Netherlands, so I don’t really have anything to do with the war (superficially), but my heart was broken by all the needless suffering and I suppose I needed an outlet for the sadness and anger that I felt, so when the counteroffensive started to look more promising, late 2022, I watched more and more content on Ukraine. Honestly, I wanted to see dictatorial imperialistic conquest fail and I wanted the Kremlin to suffer the consequences and see that the world stands united against them. Professionally (I’m a data analyst at a large Dutch bank), I worked on the analysis to identify and block bank accounts owned by Russians at our bank. I worked nights and weekends on this and I’m really happy that the interest on that money is now helping Ukraine! People I know took up Ukrainian refugees and I’m also glad to report that in the last European elections, the Dutch party that is directly sponsored by Russia lost all seats in the European Parliament. The free and democratic world stands behind Ukraine! Hope we can someday look back at this war as something that brought us closer together and perhaps even generated new friendships. Slava Ukraini! Glory to the heroes! 🇳🇱 🇺🇦

Wow. what a gift to the world you four people are. Thanks so much for inspiring us all to work to improve the world and for attacking ignorance, greed, disinformation and the ego driven politicians of our world , and for showing us how the the appeasers on our side do such a disservice to everyone, especially the civilians and children of Ukraine..
Love ❤️ to all of you. No introductions needed for me but well deserved. I concur with Vlad about Anna's beautiful smile. Jonathan I don't think you can top your previous guests for number 500 interview. Much respect and love to all of you. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 💛💙💛💙🇺🇦🎉
Jake Another outstanding hour of roundtable dialog with some great guests. I have watched Anna and Vlad , but had never seen or heard from Jonathan.. and of course yourself . I have been an avid follower for a long time , thank you so much for your focus and never wavering attention on the Ukrainian situation. Defenders stay strong for truth and democracy . Glory to the brave ! 💛 Slava Ukraini 💙 ✌🇺🇦 ❤🇬🇧🇨🇦
If I may, I recommend following Jonathan Fink on "Silicon Curtain". His guests and interview style are top notch. I "try" to follow him daily as he discusses the Russo-Ukraine war from many angles, political, economic, geopolitical, cultural and even discussions with Konstantin from "Inside Russia". Among the very best podcasts regarding this horrible war. "Silicon Curtain"...check it out and share it.
Great, really great. Great group,serious, articulate, communicate real thoughts and insights. Plus I enjoy the mix. And Jake, you are an excellent moderator, intuiting when to ask a question, when to bring in a different contributor, establish, support a rhythm among the four. And never is there a sense of you imposing your thoughts and personality on the others. Some may think, since your word count seems low, that this is a simple thing, a matter primarily of personality type. This is not true; you have a developed skill along with a talent that is only to be admired. Furthermore, you have also in most of your work for clearly communicating complicated concepts using simple language in succinct portions. This too is rare and to be much admired. Especially since this is live. You don’t have the opportunity to edit out your own crap when reading over your words. I share this opinion supported with the fake authority of thirty years as a writer and editor of service articles for mass circulation US magazines, plus a bit of newspaper experience. At 76 I am “retired”, though in truth unemployed as I stand among the ruins of a crashed industry. Back to your talent for communicating complex subjects to lay audiences, I think, among the Ukraine commentators, you clearly shared this talent with Konstantine S. I suspect, Jake, in addition to your experience preparing a lot of videos on a variety of complex issues that all those years of language teaching in S. Korea greatly developed these skills. A career of addressing overcoming language barriers to communication. (If there are mistakes here, please blame them on an arthritic index finger and aging eyes and laziness about rereading; nothing to do with the functional quality of a brain. And if anyone is looking for a writer editor ….).
The Ruso-soviets used the propaganda slogan "friendship of nations" to manipulate their subjugated regions. Watching you guys, I feel a genuine friendship of nations working for a better world.
There was no "NATO expansion"... There was a "NATO Acceptance". We accepted nations running away from Russia as fast as they could. I was there. I trained Estonians as part of the NB8 Security Initiative. That was long before their EU and NATO memberships. All the Baltics ran to anyone close by who would help them get rid of Russian interference, and they didn't even know what that would look like. They just knew that everyone around them would be a better "partner" than Russia.
Exactly! It's Russian Narrative many adopt. NATO doesn't recruit, nations beg to join, as such we must grant Ukraine membership... we have much to learn from them, they know Russians best. I've been thinking of UN and NATO roles for some time now... UN allowed RF to just take the seats of USSR sans vote or discussion. UN proudly hosts Putin's map and dates are wrong on for when RF joined UN... and NATO needs a house cleaning of despots... from Ontario, Canada.
My Uncle was Latvian. His father was put on a train to the Gulag during Russian occupation. His crime? He was working in the municipality. But he knew someone working with the train or paid a bribe and was let off. He hid in the forest and my uncle ran food to him. They got away after the war. They got to Australia. All of them. They were lucky. A family intact. And he married my aunt. She started marriage with the tales of Russian occupation. So hated are they. Unevolved as humans and not fitting in with 2020 values.
Sure, that’s why you can google so many history of nato acceptance, not expansion? You have the right idea but need a different message. And I am not ivanbot. I drive a lifted diesel 4x4 with remington 12g in the rear rack and a large American flag, You cannot do that in ivanland and i’d like to keep it protected. So support Ukraine.
@@GMT_400 That is because the formal language is accession no acceptance. But it means the same thing in practice: 1) You apply for membership. 2) You're given a list of requirements to fulfill. 3) If everyone likes you, you are accepted, which completes your accession to NATO. Besides the founding nations nobody has been outright asked: "Would you like to join?" and nobody has been told "if you don't join there will be consequences". Therefore any rhetoric with "NATO expansion" needs, at the very least, a critical approach. As for the last statement about your vehicular preferences and choice of boomstick... I have no idea what to do with that in this context.
@@andersjjensen i agree with all that. But in simple terms if something gets bigger it expands, and so the result is an expansion. In historical terms, one would say nato expanded (from the beginning) and then give all those reasons. So why not just say that like all history says? Just say the reason it expanded, not that it isn’t expansion. The last part is because i am not a russian nor a putin lover, which everyone will say if you say nato expanded.
Great debate Jake from top TH-cam presenters & a quality example of how democracy works by listening & by not shouting down each other . It's helped me to form my own views on this Russo-Ukrainian conflict as the direct opponents but in the greater world the Russian way of destroy it all down & rebuild it to the autocratic leaders plan of their world who try to control their captured victims .

This conflict has uncovered the worst of tyranny but also the best of courage and intellect in freedom loving people offering their lives in service.

My wife is native Polish... everywhere we go, we encounter Russians laughing and vacationing without a care in the world... all while Ukraine is being decimated and is fighting for its survival.
It is disgusting that the West is not putting severe restrictions on the travel of Russian citizens.
Could you possibly do a segment on why this is being allowed... and what, if anything, is going to be done to rectify this injustice?

You all
Thank you, fantastic guests, very interesting viewpoints. Slava Ukraine 🇬🇧💖🇺🇦
Oh, this is a fantastic roundtable. Thanks everyone. Slava Ukraini! Peace
Jake Another outstanding hour of roundtable dialog with some great guests. I have watched Anna and Vlad , but had never seen or heard from Jonathan.. and of course yourself . I have been an avid follower for a long time , thank you so much for your focus and never wavering attention on the Ukrainian situation. Defenders stay strong for truth and democracy . Glory to the brave ! 💛 Slava Ukraini 💙 ✌🇺🇦 ❤🇬🇧🇨🇦
If I may, I recommend following Jonathan Fink on "Silicon Curtain". His guests and interview style are top notch. I "try" to follow him daily as he discusses the Russo-Ukraine war from many angles, political, economic, geopolitical, cultural and even discussions with Konstantin from "Inside Russia".
Among the very best podcasts regarding this horrible war.
"Silicon Curtain"...check it out and share it.
@@davidl.7317I agree.
Oh wow. What a panel! You’ve outdone yourself Jake!
Free Tibet! And SLAVA UKRAINE!!!🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Awesome guests Jake!
Great, really great. Great group,serious, articulate, communicate real thoughts and insights. Plus I enjoy the mix. And Jake, you are an excellent moderator, intuiting when to ask a question, when to bring in a different contributor, establish, support a rhythm among the four. And never is there a sense of you imposing your thoughts and personality on the others. Some may think, since your word count seems low, that this is a simple thing, a matter primarily of personality type. This is not true; you have a developed skill along with a talent that is only to be admired. Furthermore, you have also in most of your work for clearly communicating complicated concepts using simple language in succinct portions. This too is rare and to be much admired. Especially since this is live. You don’t have the opportunity to edit out your own crap when reading over your words.
I share this opinion supported with the fake authority of thirty years as a writer and editor of service articles for mass circulation US magazines, plus a bit of newspaper experience. At 76 I am “retired”, though in truth unemployed as I stand among the ruins of a crashed industry.
Back to your talent for communicating complex subjects to lay audiences, I think, among the Ukraine commentators, you clearly shared this talent with Konstantine S. I suspect, Jake, in addition to your experience preparing a lot of videos on a variety of complex issues that all those years of language teaching in S. Korea greatly developed these skills. A career of addressing overcoming language barriers to communication. (If there are mistakes here, please blame them on an arthritic index finger and aging eyes and laziness about rereading; nothing to do with the functional quality of a brain. And if anyone is looking for a writer editor ….).
Thank you Jake and everyone! I absolutely loved this show and happy that you will be doing more of these!!
All my favorites grouped together.
The Ruso-soviets used the propaganda slogan "friendship of nations" to manipulate their subjugated regions. Watching you guys, I feel a genuine friendship of nations working for a better world.
Anna my favorite Star
Thx guys
What a dream lineup. Along with your last roundup, Jake, the speakers are of the very best, and the production is all-around first rate. SLAVA UKRAINI
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
omg my fav people hanging out together, for the second time. feels like being with good friends
There was no "NATO expansion"... There was a "NATO Acceptance". We accepted nations running away from Russia as fast as they could. I was there. I trained Estonians as part of the NB8 Security Initiative. That was long before their EU and NATO memberships. All the Baltics ran to anyone close by who would help them get rid of Russian interference, and they didn't even know what that would look like. They just knew that everyone around them would be a better "partner" than Russia.
Exactly! It's Russian Narrative many adopt. NATO doesn't recruit, nations beg to join, as such we must grant Ukraine membership... we have much to learn from them, they know Russians best. I've been thinking of UN and NATO roles for some time now... UN allowed RF to just take the seats of USSR sans vote or discussion. UN proudly hosts Putin's map and dates are wrong on for when RF joined UN... and NATO needs a house cleaning of despots... from Ontario, Canada.
My Uncle was Latvian. His father was put on a train to the Gulag during Russian occupation. His crime? He was working in the municipality. But he knew someone working with the train or paid a bribe and was let off. He hid in the forest and my uncle ran food to him. They got away after the war. They got to Australia. All of them. They were lucky. A family intact. And he married my aunt. She started marriage with the tales of Russian occupation. So hated are they. Unevolved as humans and not fitting in with 2020 values.
Sure, that’s why you can google so many history of nato acceptance, not expansion? You have the right idea but need a different message. And I am not ivanbot. I drive a lifted diesel 4x4 with remington 12g in the rear rack and a large American flag, You cannot do that in ivanland and i’d like to keep it protected. So support Ukraine.
@@GMT_400 That is because the formal language is accession no acceptance. But it means the same thing in practice: 1) You apply for membership. 2) You're given a list of requirements to fulfill. 3) If everyone likes you, you are accepted, which completes your accession to NATO.
Besides the founding nations nobody has been outright asked: "Would you like to join?" and nobody has been told "if you don't join there will be consequences". Therefore any rhetoric with "NATO expansion" needs, at the very least, a critical approach.
As for the last statement about your vehicular preferences and choice of boomstick... I have no idea what to do with that in this context.
@@andersjjensen i agree with all that. But in simple terms if something gets bigger it expands, and so the result is an expansion. In historical terms, one would say nato expanded (from the beginning) and then give all those reasons. So why not just say that like all history says? Just say the reason it expanded, not that it isn’t expansion.
The last part is because i am not a russian nor a putin lover, which everyone will say if you say nato expanded.
Great debate Jake from top TH-cam presenters & a quality example of how democracy works by listening & by not shouting down each other .
It's helped me to form my own views on this Russo-Ukrainian conflict as the direct opponents but in the greater world the Russian way of destroy it all down & rebuild it to the autocratic leaders plan of their world who try to control their captured victims .
