Thankyou Brandon for coming onto the podcast and speaking so openly and honestly about your time in Ukraine and the realities of war. I really appreciate your time.
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

Was a great time regardless of how many cameras we had. Applebys was good too!
I sure did, I will let him know you sent me!!

Backing Ukraine has nothing to do with underdog, Russia is trying to destroy Western civilization, how can this be missed(shady).
To not point this out is to push Kremlin disinformation…
"I want to warn Americans”
"As a people, you are very naive about Russia and its intentions. You believe because the Soviet Union no longer exists, Russia is now your friend. It isn't, and I can show you how the SVR [formerly KGB] is trying to destroy the U.S. even today and even more than the KGB did during the Cold War."
“the Cold War never ended." The American people, however, are not fond of listening.”
-Spymaster, double agent and Russian defector Sergei Tretyakov
Silly Willy giving a fraud a platform. Let hope none of you naive supporters send him money
@@checktheplaylist101no.The west is trying to destroy Russia. They say it out loud 😂
Thanks for coming out to see me last night Willy! Real pleasure!
Pleasure is all mine legend!
Didn't know you were a friend of Bill W. My respect for you is beyond words. Thank you for all you have done!
@DiversityIsOurStrength shut your mouth Z boi
@DiversityIsOurStrength you want to censor this man because he said some bad words ? Fascist.
@diversityisourstrength Diversify your time usage bro. Your obsession with Brandon is pretty cringe. It's unlikely you'll develop the self-awareness or consciousness to feel the requisite level of embarrassment your inanity demands, so let me assure you that 1000's of good people know you as a pathetic tool.
Brandon tells it like it is and doesn’t sugarcoat it. Great interview Willy
Hahahahhahajahahah naive and gullible
And he’s a bigot!
@@TheDisinformationProjectNzyou sound like you can't handle the truth
@jayp8130 sounds like you are a little gullible cupcake aswell 🤣
it is 2023, stay critically aware. The full might and power our governments supported by silicon valley is being employed to control our thoughts and behaviors. You cannot take for granted anymore that ANYONE is "telling it like it is."
Every time I see an interview with Brandon or one of his videos I am struck by how real he is, how human he is. It is impossible to be arrogant and entitled after facing life's ugly side. Thanks for this interview, Willy. Big hugs for both of you.
❤
Do you know where to find his other interviews?
@@markyork1 Artur Rehi's podcast channel on YT.
You seem well-meaning, but the statement: "It is impossible to be arrogant and entitled after facing life's ugly side" just isn't true. So many examples from my own personal experiences with friends and family....
@@tonytravels2494whats was With your Family ?
Brandon is the real deal. I've been following him a while.
He's a legend mate!
Is he? You really believe a guy in 5th Special Forces group didn't know what Northern Ireland was? Anyone who ends up in alcoholics anonymous is a professional bullshitter. That's your guy. That's many of the guys who end up in Ukraine with no military experience.
do you also interview ppl on the other side, or the dark side like most of your fans will call it ...
@@willyOAM a legendary legend.
Certified legend.
That had to be one of the most real, visceral, candid, straight forward, NO BS interviews I've ever seen. Puts a lot of things into perspective. Loved it!
Thanks
@@ukraine_tbicBrandon i Respect you But the Not the slava Bots. This Chant was Used by some Nazi so it is nice
@@rafomic4210 "Slava Ukraini" was first used in a poem by Taras Shevchenko in the 1840s. Shevchenko is intellectually at the root of the Ukrainian independence/national movement which occurs at that time - like others. For example in Germany. It predates Nationalsocialism as political movement by 80 years.
As a battle cry it appears 1917 to 1921 in the Ukrainian War Of Independence in the form of "Glory to Ukraine!" - "Glory to the Cossacks!" by the Black Zaporozhians fighting on the side of the Ukrainian People's Republic. After the assumption of power by Hetman Pavlo Skoropadskyi and the answer turned into "Glory to the hetman" ... after some more iterations, it turned to "Glory to the heroes!". It was used by OUN through time, while Ukrainian nationalists fought against the Soviets many of them later fought the Nazis, too. And some collaborated with the Nazis for some time, before realizing that won't give them an independent Ukraine and then turned against the Nazis. The Soviets outlawed the term. As they oppressed anything representing the idea of an independent Ukrainian nation state.
During the Euromaidan the popularity of the term surged. Being used by everyone from right wing groups to LGBTQ+ groups using a variation. It became the official greeting of the Ukrainian Army in 2018 during Petro Poroshenko presidency.
So the history of the term is long. And history is messy. Your quick association mirrors Soviet propaganda more than the actual history of the term.
@lbb101 I know you just gave a long wided explanation purposely leaving out the whole entire Stepan Bandera time in history and the fact that Slava ukraini was used in a neo nationalist manner more than it ever was a "battle cry" for 1800's independence. Pretty slippery of you to attempt to hide under the rug the blatant racist nationalist "current" history of that chant. Don't claim someone is only adhering to "russian propaganda" when you are blatantly peddling ukrainian propaganda. That " battle cry" as much as you will try to say its not a bad thing. Unfortunately it has been adopted by to many bad moments and bad people to be believed as something good for the world. I seen footage of the burning alive in odessa. I seen those Ukrainian men screaming Slava ukraini as they beat a man's head in with a pipe after he jumped from a 3 story window escaping the flames. And then like a pack of dogs they viciously beat his dead body
@@ZackBadCompany1234 well, the history of the Ukrainian national/independence movement is long, complicated and messy. Even within OUN-M and OUN-B you'll find significant political shifts. (see: Motyka, Grzegorz (2006).[Ukrainian partisans 1942-1960. Activities of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army] (in Polish). Warsaw.). So your bucket judgement isn't working, it's compley and messy. For a good overview, I highly recommend Serhii Plokhy's books "The Gates of Europe: A History of Ukraine." and "The Origins of the Slavic Nations: Premodern Identities in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus."
And just as messy is the etymology of the term "Slava Ukraini".
That said, if ultranationalism and antisemitism is your issue, I wouldn't bet on Russia to fix it. More than 100,000 Russians and Belarussian collaborated with the Nazis, just as many as Ukrainians: 1st SS Cossack Cavalry Division, XV SS Cossack Cavalry Corps, 600th Infantry Division (Wehrmacht), Kaminski Brigade, First Russian National Army, Russian Liberation Movement, Russian National People's Army etc. pp.
And today?
The top brass of Wagner is a Neonazi named Dimitri "Wagner" Utkin. He features funky SS-Tattoos and just his call sign, which named the group because he likes - I wrote "Hiteler's favorite composer". Task Force Rusich now incorporated in Wagner is founded and manned by Neonazs. The Russian Imperial Legion/Russian Imperial Movement not only recruited Neonazis from all over Europe but provided political and military training to fascist and neonates groups all over Europe and North America. The list of recipients include NPD (Germany), Nuevo Forza (Italy), Atomwaffen Division (EU, UK, US), The Base (EU, UK, US), Party of Swedes, Golden Dawn (Greece), Nordic Distance Movement (Scandinavia). Let's move on. The Sparta Battalion happily boasted runes and neonazi symbology. Zarya Battalion is led by the open anti-semite Igor Plotnitsky. Interbrigades recruited national-bolsheviks all over Europe.
Those units between 2014 and 2022 had support and fighters from Jovan Šević Detachment (Serbian ultranationalist), Bulgaria Orthodox Dawn (Bulgarian nazis/ultrannationalists), Legion of Saint Stephen (Hungarian nazis), the neonazi Volunteer brigade Varyag Battalion run by Alexander Matyushin, another Neo-nazi, and the former head of Donetsk Russkiy Obraz, DShRG Ratibor some more ultranationalists ...
In short, almost half of the People's Militias of the People's Republics are led by ultranationalists, Neo-nazis, Neo-imperialists, fascists, and antisemites. And yes, the torture and murders and use of sexual violence of People's Militias is documented by the UN, OECD, and NGOs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_situation_during_the_war_in_Donbas
In short: If you want to fight nazis in Ukraine, your best chance is to remove all those Russian led Neonazi groups/militias. Which in turn outnumber extreme right, fascists and neonates on the Ukrainian by magnitudes. Like multiple times more.
So yep, recent history leads the argument of denazification ad absurdum. One doesn't denazify by employing dozens of fascist and ultranationalist militia groups ....
So maybe Russia starts with denazifying itself.
Dude has such a calm and soothing voice, perfect for a combat medic
Thank you
@Brandon Mitchell 🇺🇦 I think you need a rest Bro, enjoyed the interview but you have hit the wall and all the symptoms of serious PTSD plus your blast injuries. Get some Tests done in the States or UK take some time out.
Brandon seems just like a normal dude and so chill.. He has done so much since the beginning of this invasion.. Great to see you 2 link up...
Where is his accent from? It sounds like a bit of a lot of accents 🤷♂️😃
@@everready800Canadian bro
@jayp8130 Oh I guess I don't know my accents as well as I thought. 😃🤷♂️
this ginger ozzy guy talks so much crap
@@everready800 hes got a few different accents mixed together, he's lived in a few countries.
These interviews keep getting better and better - and they were never bad to begin with.
Brandon's stories keep hitting just that bit different and deeper the more I hear them and get to process it all.
He and all volonteers like him deserve all our support, all the way through this nightmare so they can keep up helping where we cannot.
They deserve a life sentence in Russian prison and nothing more.
Brandon is such an amazing person, I'm so glad you were able to interview him ❤️
How TF do you know? So easy to manipulate people's perceptions.
Brandon is the most honest and transparent guy. LEGEND! Great interview Willy
This is an interview i've been WAITING for you to do
Well you asked nicely... So here you go :)
I've heard it said, " Those who give the most, are those who know have lived through having nothing." This video is very emotionally moving. Brandon said, "filling the hole", I believe it is more like "living the love". No greater love has a man, than to lay down his life for his brother - Godspeed.
❤
What an incredible gentleman, I hope the best for him. Thank you Willy for bringing him on the show.
Brandon is going to be very well known in history for everything that he has done for Ukraine. I have been following his channel for awhile and I always feel like I am on deployment with him in each video. Such an incredible man!
I agree with you. He is a good man.
As long as you remember that history is written by the winners. Nobody celebrates the nazi soldiers. Even if they fought like hell and for a cause they believed in. We only celebrate beating them.
where do we find his postings?
Brandon is so honest it’s refreshing
Brandon is a person that you could relate to, love his personality, his mission, wish I had a friend like him!
❤
100% biggest asset Brandon addiction is a killer that most people just seem to go down with the wave. Your such a genuine person who go far above anyone's expectations. Keep up the good work guys. And don't worry willy we all know your a legend ❤❤❤
Initially I thought "3-1/2 hours?", but it's so totally worth it to listen (and watch) the whole thing. Good job Willy (& Brandon)!
I can’t see Brandon coming back for another Willy interview, I think there was a lot Brandon wanted to say but held back a lot. Willy was casting too much doubt and moaning about the west too much
The West deserves to be moaned about. These guys deserve a medal for saying one simple truth. Western saviors. Everywhere Westerners go, they have superiority complex. As if everyone is incompetent and need to be thought by the West how to live properly
This was less a dialogue/interview at some point that came off the tracks. I could see it on Brandon's face
There is interviews I won’t do and interviews I won’t do again. Willy is alright. Just too off the chart and out of my depth.
"you dont expect this to happen in Europe between civilised people" whoa willy, might wanna rethink these kinda statements, not every war is team America "morally" mowing down farmers
He does great things in Ukraine, medical and fundraising. 🇺🇦🙏🌻🕯
Thank you for this amazing interview. The humility of a man who has done more than 99.9% of us all puts us all into place.
He didnt expect sht to happen in europe, the very same continent with more wars in the history of mankind?
Willy & Brandon, thank you for doing this interview and shedding some light on the reality of the situation in Ukraine!
Thanks for listening
Brandon i Want a Heart haha
Going through addiction and making it out the other side makes an amazing human. They know how shit life can be, what rock bottom is so they cherish every moment and person in their life.
R. I. P Andy Nico & all Ukraines defenders, sleep easy 🙏
I think Brandon is saying it but isn't listening to himself. His path is to being and teaching others to be a combat medic, this war will pass, but many more will come. His work and teaching others about the skills he's learning is invaluable.
He asked whos normal, well, that will be his new normal, its something hes passionate about doing, helping save thise who need it.
This guy's got a heart and soul of titanium, I hope its strong enough and he gets to be a dad.
Me too!
Me too!
When Brandon says "I could have done better with alot of people who died" A a parent who's lost family. It made me a better parent I always hugged the. And kisses them when I left anywhere. Now the little things mean more and those good bye hugs and kisses mean more. Play time etc. Just being in the same room ,Mean so much more. Ya never know. Death and kiss has benefit to the living. We learn what important etc.
Glad you got to the interview, I enjoy both channels.
Edit half way through, you asked some really good deep questions I haven’t seen him get asked before really impressed
Thank you both very much. I appreciate this very real conversation. Three and a half hours flew past in a blink.
Thank you Willy and Brandon for an awesome interview on the difficulties facing the medics and people in Ukraine .... like myself and all Canadians we support Ukraine to the bitter end of the War ... slava Ukraine
Play Russian Roulette and you will See
Brandon is a great guy, incredibly reliable and a great cause to donate towards, unlike some places, you'll directly see your dollars benefit the lives of those around him
Disagree with this conversation, bit of naivity and hypocrisy. The usa is cupping part of Syria, but no one is frleeling like they need to help. In Libya you can by slaves that is tha ks to nato. The whole debuckle in ukrainie started in 2014, there was a recording of Victoria nulland. Ye belive what you want, this will and has impacted all our lives. You want to think you or on good side, go ahead. Fsb is force for good yep as the zelenski
This is a match made in heaven. I am so excited to watch this collaboration. Great job Willy!
❤
Wow, this is an absolutely superb, raw & personal conversation & I feel privileged to have listened too it. Thank you gents.
18 months sober.
Brandon, Willy the lives you guys lead are inspiring!!!❤❤❤
Great to see the two blokes that provide some of the best content on this platform covering this conflict in a straight and unbiased way.
Highly recommend following his channel along with Willy’s
Keep up the good work fellas
Brandon is the best! Yall don't forget to donate to him. He's supplying the guys with equipment that is saving lives! He's 1 of 8 volunteers that I trust with my donations!
Every time I try to list their names, my comment keeps getting deleted!
@@KateKosmo I had to scroll for ages to find your comment, if I look at the replies my comment doesn't even show up to me.
Social media is insane, I've spent a huge amount of time and money trying to help Ukraine but asking a simple question gets destroyed by the unholy algorithm.
@@disposabull bc I edited my original comment with the names so then it screwed it up cause every time i would comment under my post it would disappear. All the comments under it are gone now, i just get an error msg. He must have settings to were some word I'm using is part of the comments that get deleted.
Hi, this happens a lot. Today on other Willy's vid i posted a lenthy essay on propaganda psychology, got deleted after 5-10min. Still don't know reason, but you r guess is one of many reasons. Either listed words by channel, Swear-words automatically detected by YT, channel owner manual/spam detection script, reporting in mass by hidden kremlinbots or - lately catastrophic level of - YT algorithm glitches. Can't trust this platform since a while back.. ×
This was the best interview of the Ukrainian conflict that I've listened to. Thank you Willy and Brandon for this genuine conversation.
You are two beautiful souls! Thanks for all your support, help and compassion towards Ukraine!
God bless bro and great interview. Amazing guy and amazing story more should hear. I'm a recovering addict alcoholic as well and I get it. So Manny think we're just terrible people that are evil and will never do good when all alot of us truly want to do is help others especially once we get sober and helping other ends up being something that truly helps us keep going day by day hr by hr min by minute. God bless both of you and keep coming!👍
Bless you too brother!
Riveting interview. It's tough to watch Brandon talk honestly about his experiences. I hope he gets through the war and does his boxing coaching 🙏🫡🇦🇺
Brandon is the best thing that happened to 🇺🇦 Ukraine. Please keep safe and strong to carry on with what you are doing for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Two of my very favorite dudes, chatting for 3.5 hours…
FUCK YES! So stoked!
Watched the whole thing, i wish I have not, brought back memories from Bosnia.
Great job...both of you.
2 legends in the same room! thanks Willy
Wow Willy, what a beautiful interview with a sincere mate. I hope his close friends and family look after Brandon. Take Care Lionel
Good work Willy, Interviewing Brandon was great. I have kept tabs on Brandon, he has done some fantastic work, always straight and never artificial with his comments. Well done both of you.
I don’t give a shit what Brandon says, he is a true hero. He has repeatedly put himself in danger before others and keeps going back although he can call enough anytime. He knows he presents and speaks well and he’s smart enough to use those skills to raise money to buy crucial equipment for his brigade and many others. Taking on that kind of a role especially as a foreigner, every volunteer is a hero. I’ve seen many of his interviews with his colleagues and friends and they are the same. Slava Brandon and all like him.
Love Willy❤️ Hope life is going good my brother. Keep your head high
This is awesome. The only 2 dudes I watch about the Ukraine situation. And they come together. Nice!
You know this reminds me of being in an ICU with a palliative kid, dealing with other people's grief became overwhelmingly burdensome
Fantastic interview :) Thank you both for everything you've done and continue to do!
❤
Brandon and Willy love to see it 💙💛Keep up being awesome 😼
AWESOME episode - thanks matt great that you had brandon on your show!!!
Its guys like you two that keep the small ember in my cold dead heart alive
YESSS!!! brandon is fucken awesome! very happy you guys interviewed
i feel like i can relate to brandon in a lot of ways. im 27 now and so far ive never really fit in anywhere in life, havent done anything very significant, worked a job i wasnt happy with, wasted a lot of time and money, struggled with addiction, but in the end if nothing else, i just want to do something good in my life. still have no idea what its gonna be, but i hope i can at least before i pass. would feel happy at deaths door if i managed something that changed someones life for the better. bless you willy for this interview, you guys are part of what keeps me going
thank you both for this great interview, stay safe out there guys
Brandon's American accent when he imitated Captain America was hilarious 🤣
So was captain America
I am really looking forward to hearing his Texas accent!😂. Howdy , Bless your heart as he now knows I’m sure…means you’re stupid. Captain America-I died!🤣
So glad you had Brandon on the show, he is such a good humanbeing and has done so much for Ukraine.
Thank you Brandon. Cheers from Scandinavia 🇩🇰🇸🇪🇳🇴
Willie prayers for your health. Thank you both for this interview. It’s was a long one but brought some insight into both of you. Brandon hope you have enjoyed your time in Texas and find the trip was worth it. May you have a great time in Florida and learn many more valuable skills. The more you can share with the defenders the better and time spent here will be well worth it! Im very proud of you and all you do for Ukraine. I agree with you both selflessness is what I look for in my inner circle. We are all equals and members of the same race, the human race. I pray for an end to this war!💙🙏🏼🇺🇦🇺🇸🌹
America is the real evil . Only that russia is Not small and dumb. So If you want to Play Russian Roulette you Gonna find Out....
Brandon is a fantastic guest to have. He's the real deal. Great interview
Like how he is honest on his views, I've watched him for awhile. Do I agree with all his views, nope but I respect he has the bal*s to say what he means.
this was a treat, thank you for your hard work in service of humanity.
the man you interviewed has his head on straight, super dialed in to reality. i hope he gets nothing less than his dream of a family and children made to fruition, and a well earned peaceful and long life with them.
Willy let me just tell u how much I loved how u closed the interview man simply loved it❤ keep it up good sir
I’ve seen Brandon early on in the war . Huge respect for what he’s been doing .
My only question is would he change his opinion on entering the war if he knew about the extent of the conflict leading up to the invasion ?
They will never understand it. The neo Nazis and Right sector groups are underestimated in Ukraine.
Much respect to the both of you for keeping it real❤
Putin maybe even Lives longer than Biden. Who knows
Thanks Brandon and Willy for serving honestly. Definitely better to go out fronting the issue than running as Brandon said. His words speak loudly
Thanks
Thank you for getting it on record, Willy & Brandon.
holy shit this interview is on another level! Good luck to you both guys and thank you for doing this!
Thanks for watching
Fantastic interview. Best I've seen on the whole war. Such a range of topics touched. Hope this goes viral.
Glad you enjoyed our conversation! Thanks for watching. I interview others on my channel in ukraine too
@@ukraine_tbic yup I subscribed to you also ! Got a couple waiting in my watch list!
Amazing. FWIW, everything you've shown so far makes me thing you'd be a great dad @Brandon. Wishing you nothing but love and NVG.
YESS ANOTHER INTERVIEW FROM WILLY!!! YOU'RE A LEGEND FOR THESE!(as long as their not psyops like that one guy lol)!!! You gotta do an interview w a Russian soldier somehow! I am sure that would blow up in views because of the lack of interviews w Russian soldiers in the west
Who was the psyop
@@slavajuri the British 'volunteer' that had a mask and glasses on with a robot voice autotune, it might've even been one of the last interviews Willy did on the channel. It screamed 3 letter agent, especially because the guy was repeating propaganda talking points word for word from the script
RealReporter has done some.
He's tried to get Russians, etc. So many hurdles. Would have to be defected Russian.
Polish boxers can hit hard I know this. Excited to watch this interview now. The yin & yang of sobriety live and direct ;) props for getting Brandon on the show. Stand up guy.
Thanks for this amazing interview and all these insights. The best of luck to the both of you !
Great interview, Willy. I have been following Brandon for a long time now, and man, he just looks worn out.
Keep up the great work, It was worth every minute of the 3hrs 28min.
Thanks for the interview Willy. Brandon is an incredibly interesting interviewee. Unfortunately I became increasingly frustrated as the interview progressed that he could hardly get a word in. I enjoy your content but I just wanted you to consider this for future guests.
What did he say 40-50 % in Russia doesn't have plumbed water inside? Well in the US ~ 40 million people needs to use foodstamps because they don't afford food. And in Sweden 1 million people are on anti depressant, about 1 million people are on financial support, which means they don't work or just work part time, it is a disaster really. So no I wouldn't say it's so awesome in the west even though most of us has a high living standard, and oh I almost forgot that we don't own a lot accept our huge debts.
Thanks to you both for what you do.
When I saw the length of the video, I thought it would be long and just a collection of the same questions that everyone has asked Brandon in the last 2 months. I was wrong. This interview was new. It's with a host who's on another continent and you can see the detachment from Europe. I think all of us - Brandon, Willy, audience - got something valuable from this experience...
Thank you for this interview.
Razom do peremohi! #BraveLikeUkraine
What a pure man, totally in touch with humanity, life/death, and more humble than anyone else you'll meet in our society which only promotes self-serving behaviour
That’s a high estimation. Thank you
@@ukraine_tbic i am confident that most people who follow you and your friends/colleagues in Ukraine will share this view
I can answer to Willy's question "if the people care where the border lines are drawn btw Ukraine and russia". Sure they are, because that line is really define you either as a slave or as a free person who is responsible for his/her own life. Just to imagine that, put yourself right now into North Korea and ask that question again. Only people who inherited this freedom and take it for granted could ask this questions, those who experienced it, would never do.
I watch this guy's channel from time to time. He's a Dam hero
I love you guys! I always wondered what that stood for. Going to watch this to the end.
My daughter was born severely disabled in March of last year. Having the conviction in your heart that you have two feet two hands and the labor skill to help rebuild BUT having to be responsible for my family and knowing that I would be nothing but in the way if I was there at this time is really tough.
I truly wish for this conflict to end so we can start to rebuild the homes and businesses of the innocent that have been effected.
God bless you for doing what many of us wish we were in the position to do! I pray you have a long and fruitful life.
I’m so sorry that you’re going through that with your daughter. You sound like such a wonderful person. Take good care of you. Everything will work out!♥️
9:34 see this is why I dont like Willy. He always sneaks those little diggs: ruzzia was “alwayas portrayed as a villain”- only a Westener could possibly say that 🙄 we in central Eastern Europe were trying to tell the truth about Putin, but the west didn’t want to listen, he would be praised and hosted in the West like a hero. There’s a journalists Krystyna Kurczab-Redlich who lived for decades in russia and she even wrote his true biography (much different then official ones). She was describing a moment when she was in UK with a documentary about what ruzzians did in Chechnya and when they were leaving the theater they saw a parade where Putin was driven around London sitting next to the queen in the car like a hero. Grown Chechen man we’re looking at it with tears. Here they are trying to raise awareness about Putin’s crimes and here’s Putin being hosted like a hero next to the queen. And here’s Willy thinking it’s really unfair they’ve been painted as a villain 🧐 in few too many movies. Cry me a River! if anything they haven’t been villainized enough!
You say Ukraine had advantage over ruzzia, becuse ruzzia was traditionally always villainized , well why then nobody supported Ukraine in 2014 when that war actually started huh? Maybe people finally turned against ruzzia because they’re actually evil And they saw it in all its glory?!
Russia has literally never had it as good as under Putin.
@@nvonliph Heritage of Glasnost and Perestroika. From there on Putin deprived more and more from the people.
@@Elatenl admittedly so on the economic development front, as well as political freedom front. Doesn't change the fact that Russia has truly made strides.
aye. If it's an honest attempt to be impartial, it's a bridge too far.
You'll be a great father Brandon, thanks for the interview Willy
Willy thanks so much for giving Brandon a great interview, I've been waiting for someone to give him a great platform, an honest platform to interview him and ask him the questions that us real people want to know and hear ,Brandon I believe is one of the most honest people that I've followed during this war God bless him and you, hope that you both stay healthy and safe
I'm 1:26 in and i really like this guy! Brandon you are a man's man, humble yet willing and a bigger set of balls than most of us on the internet! Thank you for doing this and for doing something to help!
Meant an hour an 26 in
2014 massacre happen in Ukraine..they killed civilians then. Proven point that this conflict is just because of who is fighting not human lives but the type of people. That being said, this conflict needs to end.
It seems Willie won't interview this fellow Ivan Katchanovski who proves 2014 Maidan massacre was a coup and ** someone ** deleted previous comments mentioning him:

Well, there is a lot of "philosophy" from Willy, but here is one thing: Russians have been targeting random civilian cars and other non-combatants at huge scale, even the cases that made it into the public - there is huge pile of video proof.
And the exact reason WHY people take guns with them while having a red cross or doing humanitarian things - is because Russians don't care and violate all of the possible rules of war, and you need at least something to defend yourself.
This argument would have been a good one, if we were talking about a country with at least some respect to the rules of war - but that's not the case in the war, when one nations tries to wipe another out from exsitace after being brainwashed by propaganda (which they selected, there were competing narratives used by Kremlin in Russia, but the one we see for years - has won 10 to 1)
It doesn't matter if you have guns in your trunk - you can't see that from your drone that's correcting the artillery fire.
It's too much philosophy from a comfort of your chair, not really diving into the context and understanding what Russia and Russians really are.
The whole phrase "the start of the war was shocking" - it wasn't shocking for most who understood Russia here in Ukraine, and we've been telling that this will happen for years.
However, some sort of tolerant prism in the West and completely stereotypical understanding of both Ukraine and Russia was it the way of seeing this coming.
agreed. Love from Kharkiv x
