Thanks for having me on the channel Jonathan! I appreciate your tireless work on this channel to share important voices for Ukraine with the world! Cheers!
I have visited Ukraine on three different occasions. I think if Jake were to visit, his resolve and care for Ukraine would only grow. Thanks for this great discussion.
Jake is a gift to Ukraine,also,to our Ukraine-supporting community,as you are too. Much respect and appreciation for both of you. Thankyou & Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦
Я тоже говорю слава Украине-той Украине,которая со стороны Донецка.Там Украина,которая уважает законы Украины.С другой стороны-банда,захватившая власть в Киеве.
I was fortunate in that I have in laws in Ukraine and travelled there in the mid 90s. The effects of veing under Soviet control for so many years were visible and Ukraine was in a kind of wilderness. It has come a very long way since then and deserves all the help it can get.
@@tomlong8350 After Ukraine bombed Ukrainians for 8 years they are getting just what they asked for. This is the result of becoming the puppet of the Americans.
Jake is EXACTLY what Americans need....he pulls no punches and speaks the absolute truth. Listen to him and his valuable information dear Republican supporters.....now, more than ever!!! From a Canadian
^This Republican watches Jake with great appreciation... but these last few years, I've seen no reason to support the Republican Party, since it seems to have entirely abandoned republican principles, so maybe I don't count.
@@ruks345 you TOTALLY missed the main topic buddy.....lol....omg, just go watch some Jake Broe so you can educate yourself on the 300 reasons why you are not understanding how it works.
@@ruks345 It's not "we" it's you. We, want to fund wars that fight tyranny and protect democracy throughout the world. If you don't fight these wars now the US will eventually be fighting wars on their own territory.
On the contrary, he is a NWO supporter and has been brainwashed, TVidiots like you cannot understand anything but your programming. The US has carried out 489 military interventions since 1798, 250 of those since 1990 and are the worst terrorist org in the world. We nuked 2 civilian cities. It is a complete waste to give Ukraine any more money as they have zero chance of defeating Russia. You sound fully vaccinated.
Jake Broe is a real hero! I have watched every video he has done since the start of this conflict in Ukraine. He always gives a well researched balanced take on what is/has been going on. I can’t praise Jake enough for wonderful unbiased reporting of the facts as they really are!
If I had to use just two words to describe Jake Broe, moral clarity would be at the top of my list and I suspect many others feel as I do. Another great collaborative effort, Jonathan.
One of the best messages, Your's. From the earliest moment, these two wonderful men have given so much context to liberty vs brutality. We must continue, and we will. I am happy to share this life amongst you and all like you.
i disagree. yes, jake is right in many things when describing russia. but its never moral when using one cause or topic to mix in your personal agenda. and i wouldnt notice it if i wasnt from france or germany. but in fact he does everything to paint these 2 countries in a bad way. even now, almost 2 years after the invasion, he feds the narrative that Macron and Scholz would have believed that Putin when turn around when they made phonecalls with him. but it just shows that he has no idea of the events in 2014. and even worse, back in the first months he accused them of trying a shady deal by forcing ukraine to capitulate. without any evidence or even any logic when looking at the support over all the months after the invasion. in his videos, he completly denied german weapon contributions even when they already started in the first week after the invasion, no matter they have been displayed in videos from ukraine or on trackers such as Oryx. and he still plays his agenda against germany. so, if you like him, feel free to do so. i see a guy who talks to many people, who in the first place listen to him to learn about the russians and the ukrainians, getting framed with desinformation about my country in a sideeffect. not once, but over and over again.
Don't mix it up. Totalitarian Russia: 1. Presidential elections are being held 2. Parliamentary elections are being held. 3. Local government elections are being held. 4. You can safely leave the country 5. Volunteers are being recruited into the army. 6. There are parties opposed to the war 7. There is no religious persecution. 8. There is no persecution based on language. 9. The activities of neo-Nazi organizations are prohibited. 10. The activities of socialist and communist organizations are allowed. Democratic Ukraine.: 1. Presidential elections are not held 2. Parliamentary elections are not held. 3. Local government elections are not held. 4. It is impossible to leave the country quietly. 5. The army forcibly grabs random people on the street. 6. There are no anti-war parties. 7. People are persecuted for their religion. 8. People are persecuted on the basis of language. 9. The activities of neo-Nazi organizations are allowed and supported. 10. The activities of socialist and communist organizations are prohibited. plus 11. All women will soon be banned from traveling abroad and the age of mobilization will be lowered
@@Davidt1066You’re in denial because he’s 100% correct. Germany has slowly improved over time but France’s support is still very fickle and Macron jumps back and forth seemingly from one side to the other and often times sounds like a typical French surrender artist. Proportionately both Germany and France have not stepped up nearly as much as they should. Especially Germany since they played a major role in financially enabling the Russians to begin with even after Putin’s unprovoked invasion of Crimea. They did everything possible to encourage such aggression. And in a way they still are when they continue to act indecisively and stall. And why keep hiding behind the U.S.? They’re not even part of Europe. Furthermore, why aren’t they keeping their promises? They claimed they wouldn’t give Ukraine the Taurus systems unless the U.S. gave them long range ATACMS. Well, they have now so what’s the hold up?
Really great episode. Jake is truly a trooper and I believe his positive take makes a real difference to many people, not least for Ukrainians I imagine. There's been so much horror and soul crushing moments during these last years especially, and good news are rare so well needed.
I listen to every episode from both of you. I’m also listening to most other RUclipsrs supporting Ukraine. Ukraine must win and we should do everything to ensure it comes to that.
@stephen... Smarter and more able than Russian women... Guess who fly the drones. Guess who manufacture the precision materiel. Guess who makes the MRE. Guess who run the logistics. Hmmm? Better, proud and more dedicated in every possible way. 🇺🇦❤️🇬🇧
Dear Jonathan and Jake! Thank you both for being such stalwart friends of Ukraine! You are some of the most intelligent, independent-thinking and most compassionate men that raise their voices for Ukrainians. And you have the foresight to understand and to explain to your audiences that Russia represents a major threat to the entire value system of freedom and mutually beneficial human collaboration. Our whole way of life depends on those values, and Ukrainians are currently paying with their blood for those values, not only for themselves but for the entire world. I watch all your videos. They give me hope in the victorious and free Ukraine. Thank you!
Excellent episode, as always! Jake's absolutely fantastic! I really enjoyed learning more about his background. And Silicon Curtain is wonderful! Both of you are working so damn hard to get the truth out there, and I, for one, am so appreciative of your combined efforts to do so. I'm an American who's been interested in Russian affairs since I was in elementary school. Russia's a beautiful country. I've actually had the opportunity to visit, a little over twenty years ago. They have every right to exist, to do business, and to prosper as a peace-loving member of the world community. Vladimir Putin, however, does not have the right to launch vicious attacks against Russia's sovereign neighbors. The West has to grow an extra pair of balls, and do whatever is necessary to help bring about an end to the war, and, of course, one that ultimately culminates in a total Ukrainian victory.
Jake Broe is successful not by accident, but because of a rare combiniation of backgrounds and a voice from the heart of America. I always get 2 major benefits from his assessments: 1. It's this special (economical and geopolitical) view on the subjects 2. The magic to give me hope even on days when situation in Ukraine feels hopeless. It's because of him that I am confident, at the end Russia will definately fail in Ukraine. It's his greater historical perspective that I always repeat for myself.
Jakes intelligence and clarity is so impressive. I have gained a considerable amount of peace of mind in this last year or so knowing that this is the quality of persons our United States military has charged the responsibility of our nuclear launch codes. Both of your programs are very informative and entertaining, thank you both for going above and beyond to help freedom stay afloat throughout the world.
So what do you want for Eastern Europe? Would you like Eastern Europe to go down the same path of strategic displacement that France, UK, and Sweden went down? Changing the fabric of Europe?
Hi guys, I live in Canada and I watch every video Jake puts out and most of the Silicon Curtain videos. As of late, I’ve actually had to watch some of both your videos in pieces, as the information being presented was a tough pill to swallow. I’m a firm believer in facing the truth about what’s going on in Ukraine, but with the political games being played in the USA and EU, I lose hope in democracy and humanity. That’s the hardest pill to swallow, and I’m not the one relying on this assistance for my survival.
Ukraine, to hear that your morale is low, makes me wanna cry because you’re fighting for your homeland you’re fighting for your freedom you’re fighting to make it I’m praying for you every day. God is in control don’t give up.
Thank you, Johnathon and Jake, you are both committed to reporting truths about the war and about the effort Ukraine is making to achieve its goal to be a European democracy. It is not an easy road. I have been living in Mykolaiv for more than 7 years an know the hardships the people must endure because of Russian aggression. There will be no surrender, all that is needed is the political will of the West to support Ukraine to win. Slava Ukraini!
@@HarwardMbonxa Thanks for your toxic content because every comment drives videos like this in the U-toob Algorithm towards more Real Human Beings. So, keep up your "work", keep commenting, it Really Helps Ukraine 😅
@@mrnobody3161 toxic is the lie your are spreading thinking that the rest of the world do not know why Russia decided to defend itself against Nato aggression and expansionism through proxy zelensky the comic and by the way where is Julian Assange?
An excellent and important interview with the best interviewee! A substantive conversation between two of the best RUclipsrs on the subject of Ukraine! A very interesting and fascinating conversation, it's worth listening to the entire interview from start to finish, it's just really interesting. thanks to both of you. Glory to Ukraine!!!
From Canada: Both these guys are excellent. Let’s all acknowledge and encourage the fact that recently Jake pulls no punches in his criticism of MAGA treasonous stupidity.
Jake the reasons you were attracted to and stay with Ukraine are the same as mine. I have followed you every day since I discovered your channel, which was probably Feb. 22. Slava Ukraine.
From all the RUclips bloggers Jake Broe is my favorite channel. I know that every two days he makes a new video and I literally wait for it to be uploaded because he always gives a balanced and informative view of what is happening in Ukraine! Great job supporting Ukraine Jake. You are famous in my world. Glory to Ukraine!
@@adissabovic NATO saved Muslim Bosnian and Muslim Kosovars and no thank you from the Muslim world. Hmmm.. maybe next time we let Serbians do what they want in Bosnia. They can get help by Russia.
@@captainchaoscow NATO always saves those who do dirty work for them but not this time. No one saves Ukraine, and no one saves NATO. NATO is done... you all done!
Thank you guys for your support and for your big kind hearts ❤️ I'm Ukrainian, and I admit of having thoughts about moving to US or EU, but then the full scale invasion happened, and I made a decision, that I will stay in Ukraine where I belong and do my best to build the county where people who seek freedom and respect would live and be welcome from all around the world, or I will die trying to do so
I have so much respect for the Ukrainians. I stand strong for Ukraine! Our Republican friends need to get their act together and continue supporting Ukraine 100%. Wander if Jake has ever thought about running for the House of Representatives or for the Senate?
Thank you both for doing this video! I always love hearing Jake's view and hold hope that he's right and in the end Ukraine will prevail. It's very difficult watching this war from the USA when my family is suffering over in Ukraine.
I identify with Ukraine too. Both my parents grew up in occupied Netherlands and this experience certainly affected my childhood even so far away as New Zealand. I can see very easily how dangerous the russian attitude to democracy is and am doing my very best to help in my limited way. By being a daily supporter of blogs that report the conflict, something all people who are concerned about it should do as it helps keep it in the forefront of people’s minds and shows our differing governments that they need to care as well. I have organised ‘Knitting for Ukraine’ and we have sent through the ‘International Lions Clubs’ over 150 pure wool hand knitted sweaters and hats for 12 months and under, a few acrylic ones too as well as a few other things, that are being distributed in the Kharkiv area as I write. This is but a drop in the ocean but we are just 1 of so many groups. Of the whole process, getting the goods through customs in Poland was the most hair tearing and expensive part. Poland is no doubt helping in some areas but getting humanitarian aid even through a recognised charity is hell on wheels.
Excellent interview! Never thought of it, but agree that I would not care about Ukraines fate if it was a kleptocratic dictatorship, like Russia. But I care greatly now seeing a young nation establishing an identity and future within the democratic world.
The reason Ukraine was invaded is BECAUSE it was not a puppet dictatorship of the Kremlin's choosing. You people here are not the brightest bulb in the room....
You serious? Ukraine - the most corrupt nation in Europe, with a one-party system, throwing dissidents in jail, snapping civilians off the streets and forcefully recruiting them to the front line, while the President buys a 75 million yacht and his wife shops for clothes and diamonds in Paris and New York???
I’m a big fan of Jake’s channel since earlier this year. It’s easy to see that he not only cares about humanity but also he is an intelligent individual who provides us with very informative and well researched content.
Thank you for your support 🙏🏻 please keep reminding your American viewers to call their representatives in Congress now and demand that vote for Ukraine
Thank you Jonathan and Jake....lucid, articulate and cogent as always...it is uplifting to to listen to a conversation that provides both insight and hope for democracy....🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇲
The things you guys do, which allow people to re-engage because you delve deeper than the Trad media gloss, are absolutely critical. Keep up the good work, and if you get rewarded for it - good for you and yours! Many thanks.
Jake is a wonderful human being, and a true patriot, rather than the jingoistic ‘patriotism’ we see from many Americans, and I do mean you, MAGA supporters. His kindness is resounding, and an example to all. We all need to do what we can to support Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do, as well as being in the interests of all democracy loving people. Glory to Ukraine, from 🇦🇺
Jake is an inspiration. I have come to realise that to do nothing but observe means that nothing will change. As a result of Jakes presentations , I understand a little more about politics and how it works and about war and how it works. I regularly email my member of parliament and make regular money contributions directly to a small group of Ukrainian front line fighters.
You guys are both a treasure. I am a huge fan of you both. Something i would say to Jake if i could... I count my times in Ukraine between 2008 to 2013 as a chapter that truly changed my life. While i did not really understand it then, the experience of meeting Ukrainians (especially young people in ordinary jobs) with their incredibly genuine, ingenuous wonder about my life in a western country, and with their very kind and open approach to meeting was quite moving. I also discerned, slowly, their fierce love for Ukraine, for their culture, like a worn and cherished icon they had carried through generations and hardships. The people i met then, and since, were fiercely joyful, intelligent, funny and confident. I remember weeping the first time i heard the Ukrainian anthem with a translation in English. I remember how the events of 2013 rolled over me like a wave of recognition. That's my short story. Jake has already befriended the Ukrainian people. These are really wonderful people, they will be good friends for the rest of our lives. I hope Jake will go see them soon, for his own sake. (-- Greg, from San Francisco, at Upton on Severn, UK)
Thanks! Indeed a significant exchange between two aware, intelligent, sincere commentators. Wish there were more Jake’s & Jonathan’s around with such great insight!!!
I've been watching Jake's financial channel long before Feb 2022 and was really impressed by his ability to present material clearly and entertaining. After Jake published his first video on Russian aggression against Ukraine, I was supper impressed by the clarity of his report and the way he explains the conflict to his mostly western audience. I'm Ukrainian myself often using Jake's videos to explain things in Ukraine to my English friends. Thanks Jake. Thanks to this channel for the great content and support.
Been watching Jake's streams since the war started and done my little bit to like each one - because each one is captivating, informative and heartfelt.
Jake has shown such maturity, and insight into the dynamics of the situation in Ukraine and Russia, it's actually put mainstream media and politicians to shame.
Jake's dulcet tones at the start of his videos are very reassuring. Had a bad day, watching the Vatniks twist the minds of yet more political operators in the world? Well, here's Jake to reassure you that you're not alone.
Thx to Jonathan / SiliconCurtain for doing & publishing all those invaluable interviews 👍 It´s so nice to see Jake 💗 here. 2 sane people, feels like soc media wellness right now to me :) As Jake says, Russia will go bankrupt first. All Russian social and economic developments look like a repetition of 1991, NATO as main enemy, imperialistic dreams, surpression of any opposition, crazy propaganda, much too high spending on the military, high inflation and so much more... Russia did not survive 1990. Why does anyone expect it to survive now under similar circumstances? Makes no sense. Slava Ukraini 💛💙 Ukraine will win!
I would like to visit Ukraine when it is safe to travel to their country. I am already learning the Ukrainian language and I am enjoying it. Slava Ukraine, Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes of Ukraine.
No offense but Jake is my favorite RUclipsr who covers Ukraine. He's always presenting proof and data and has great analytical skills. I used to watch like 10 or more RUclipsrs covering it but now I narrowed it down to just 3-4 and Jake is definitely my favorite. Thank you Jake ❤
I bet he read a comments. Or he is just really smart and learning guy. I love how he say : russians will not gonna stop, russians support putin, russians will go and die for whatever its Tsar will tell. This is so oposite to western imagination of russian wolrd after Soviet Union collapse, they saw Russia as a country, with human values and economical partner. And I will say from myself : I enjoy his content, how he put a facts, how the guy, from a really far away, never been in Europe care but whats going on. Thanks for this chanels author. I'm sorry for my english, I'm lithuanian.
Love Jake and you of course! You guys give me hope and are keeping the dialogue and fight going that my blood ancestors deserve and need support to stop this horrendous evil! I do my best to do the same here in Ohio writing my congressman and everyone I can, but right now things are definitely in a rut here in the USA and as someone who leans a little more conservative (but not a party person at all) Im absolutely appalled with conservatives in our country and to the rest of the world im so sorry my representatives are letting Ukrainians down 😔 If I wasn’t so passionate about managing my families 6 generation farm I would be there now fighting, but it still eats at me inside I’m not doing more than I can right now. We. just have to keep contributing however we can and have faith that the good we have in our hearts will defeat this beatable evil! Thank you both for all you do and God bless everyone here. ❤
Thanks Jonathan for having Jake as your guest. The only fatigue I'm experiencing is the wilful ignorance displayed by too many humans who lack Humanity. This is nothing new to me, as I've seen it most of my life. 💙 Slava 🇺🇦 Ukraine 💛🫴🕊🟦⬜️🟦
Jake , Your the salt of the earth type person. I could careless how you look or sound. YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH & THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
I am an avid watcher of Jake and Jonathan. Keep up the great works Gents! While we’re celebrating the strong voices for Ukraine, allow me to add a couple more names to the list: Professor Gerdes and Perun add different styles and angles to the conversation on Ukraine.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Denys Davydov. Yes, his content is focused on battle details so it’s more tactical than others, but realize Ukraine is teaching the world volumes about modern warfare. I think Denys helps the world keep the pulse of this war. His pilot experience comes in very handy for explaining Russia’s air-fleet issues.
Great show. Love Jake! He has consistently supported Ukraine with effective military/political analysis. All you guys are doing a great job it is much appreciated.
This war is a reminder to all that our freedoms should be handled with maturity and discretion considering our neighbors sensitivities and not just our own.
Great conversation! Been watching Jake since the beginning of the invasion, and I feel I learned a lot more about him and the war. Thank you Jonathan for asking great questions.. very helpful video indeed! ❤
That ex Wisconsin boy takes this complex issue and cuts through it like a hot knife cutting butter. The result is that we all have clarity. Thanks for the podcast.
Jake it's great, that you two came together! Both of you very sophisticated educated and caring men. Pleasure to listen and hear your thoughts! So refreshing although there are not always good news and heartbreaking facts!
Thanks for having me on the channel Jonathan! I appreciate your tireless work on this channel to share important voices for Ukraine with the world! Cheers!

Jake is not random, he is one of the many reasons to still believe in humanity after everything I have experienced in the wars I had to fight.

Huh? It's a valuable perspective nonetheless since politics can either prevent or initiate armed conflict.
So what do you want for Eastern Europe? Would you like Eastern Europe to go down the same path of strategic displacement that France, UK, and Sweden went down? Changing the fabric of Europe?

We love Jake’s reports. ❤Thanks for having Jake on your program 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thank you Australia!
A lot to think about. Thank you, Jake and Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Hi guys, I live in Canada and I watch every video Jake puts out and most of the Silicon Curtain videos. As of late, I’ve actually had to watch some of both your videos in pieces, as the information being presented was a tough pill to swallow. I’m a firm believer in facing the truth about what’s going on in Ukraine, but with the political games being played in the USA and EU, I lose hope in democracy and humanity. That’s the hardest pill to swallow, and I’m not the one relying on this assistance for my survival.
So very proud of you guys. 😊 Many thanks for all your exceptional contributions. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Jake's views are very informative and his perspective is always appreciated, especially in regards to the war.
Two of my favorite commentators on Ukraine in one video! This is a wonderful day!😀
👍👍👍 ♥️♥️♥️
Ukraine, to hear that your morale is low, makes me wanna cry because you’re fighting for your homeland you’re fighting for your freedom you’re fighting to make it I’m praying for you every day. God is in control don’t give up.
Agree wholeheartedly.
Thank you, Johnathon and Jake, you are both committed to reporting truths about the war and about the effort Ukraine is making to achieve its goal to be a European democracy. It is not an easy road. I have been living in Mykolaiv for more than 7 years an know the hardships the people must endure because of Russian aggression. There will be no surrender, all that is needed is the political will of the West to support Ukraine to win. Slava Ukraini!
I am with you and forever. Much love.
in your dreams.

Thanks for your toxic content because every comment drives videos like this in the U-toob Algorithm towards more Real Human Beings. So, keep up your "work", keep commenting, it Really Helps Ukraine 😅
@@mrnobody3161 toxic is the lie your are spreading thinking that the rest of the world do not know why Russia decided to defend itself against Nato aggression and expansionism through proxy zelensky the comic and by the way where is Julian Assange?
It is not a political will question
EU is a club of 27
A EU 37 and not resolving both migration and energy crises will let EU end up like Sovietunion
The best geopolitical chat I have seen in a long time. Simple language that anyone can understand. Thanks Jake Broe and Silicon Curtain
What a brilliant interview! 🇺🇦
An excellent and important interview with the best interviewee! A substantive conversation between two of the best RUclipsrs on the subject of Ukraine! A very interesting and fascinating conversation, it's worth listening to the entire interview from start to finish, it's just really interesting. thanks to both of you. Glory to Ukraine!!!
From Canada:
Both these guys are excellent.
Let’s all acknowledge and encourage the fact that recently Jake pulls no punches in his criticism of MAGA treasonous stupidity.
Correct. You get intellectual probing from Jonathan and situational clarity from Jake. I'd love to see both these two again on the future.
@@cargocat1 cargocat you got it right. 👍
MAGA is the treasonous Trump slaves of dictator worshippers.
I so appreciate his forthrightness and his clarity of vision.
Why is MAGA treasonous? Because they prefer to focus tax dollars on their own country?
Jake the reasons you were attracted to and stay with Ukraine are the same as mine. I have followed you every day since I discovered your channel, which was probably Feb. 22. Slava Ukraine.
Thank you for your support! ❤️
Ukraine will win! 🇺🇦
Lol, Ukraine has already lost.
From all the RUclips bloggers Jake Broe is my favorite channel. I know that every two days he makes a new video and I literally wait for it to be uploaded because he always gives a balanced and informative view of what is happening in Ukraine! Great job supporting Ukraine Jake. You are famous in my world. Glory to Ukraine!
Jake does a fantastic job with his channel, one of the best on Ukraine in my opinion.
Nah, he's just an average russophobe - dumb af!
@@adissabovic NATO saved Muslim Bosnian and Muslim Kosovars and no thank you from the Muslim world. Hmmm.. maybe next time we let Serbians do what they want in Bosnia. They can get help by Russia.
@@captainchaoscow NATO always saves those who do dirty work for them but not this time. No one saves Ukraine, and no one saves NATO. NATO is done... you all done!
Thank you guys for your support and for your big kind hearts ❤️ I'm Ukrainian, and I admit of having thoughts about moving to US or EU, but then the full scale invasion happened, and I made a decision, that I will stay in Ukraine where I belong and do my best to build the county where people who seek freedom and respect would live and be welcome from all around the world, or I will die trying to do so
I have so much respect for the Ukrainians. I stand strong for Ukraine! Our Republican friends need to get their act together and continue supporting Ukraine 100%. Wander if Jake has ever thought about running for the House of Representatives or for the Senate?
@@vedagower-my5wy thank you 🇺🇲❤️🇺🇦
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You must be writing from the trenches. I'm glad it was a conscious choice.
Мы тебе не враги, ты либо это скоро поймёшь либо уже понял. Враги именно тут 🇺🇦🤝🏻🇷🇺
Wow. This channel is massively underrated. Great content!
Thank you both for doing this video! I always love hearing Jake's view and hold hope that he's right and in the end Ukraine will prevail. It's very difficult watching this war from the USA when my family is suffering over in Ukraine.
Always a treat to see Jake💙❤💛✌💯
I identify with Ukraine too. Both my parents grew up in occupied Netherlands and this experience certainly affected my childhood even so far away as New Zealand. I can see very easily how dangerous the russian attitude to democracy is and am doing my very best to help in my limited way. By being a daily supporter of blogs that report the conflict, something all people who are concerned about it should do as it helps keep it in the forefront of people’s minds and shows our differing governments that they need to care as well. I have organised ‘Knitting for Ukraine’ and we have sent through the ‘International Lions Clubs’ over 150 pure wool hand knitted sweaters and hats for 12 months and under, a few acrylic ones too as well as a few other things, that are being distributed in the Kharkiv area as I write. This is but a drop in the ocean but we are just 1 of so many groups. Of the whole process, getting the goods through customs in Poland was the most hair tearing and expensive part. Poland is no doubt helping in some areas but getting humanitarian aid even through a recognised charity is hell on wheels.
Yes the collaboration I wanted! Jake is the best
Excellent interview! Never thought of it, but agree that I would not care about Ukraines fate if it was a kleptocratic dictatorship, like Russia. But I care greatly now seeing a young nation establishing an identity and future within the democratic world.
The Ukrainian state is new . The nation is not ….
@@yurilytviak9066 True!
The reason Ukraine was invaded is BECAUSE it was not a puppet dictatorship of the Kremlin's choosing. You people here are not the brightest bulb in the room....
You serious? Ukraine - the most corrupt nation in Europe, with a one-party system, throwing dissidents in jail, snapping civilians off the streets and forcefully recruiting them to the front line, while the President buys a 75 million yacht and his wife shops for clothes and diamonds in Paris and New York???
@@yurilytviak9066 A pack ain't nation.
Awesome this is going to be great with Jake being interviewed ty for having him on he is really good guy and very smart ❤😊
I’m a big fan of Jake’s channel since earlier this year. It’s easy to see that he not only cares about humanity but also he is an intelligent individual who provides us with very informative and well researched content.
I never am disappointed with Jake’s content. He is relevant, intelligent and kind.
Разом ми переможемо
Actually he is an insane warmonger, a grifter as well as an extremely dishonest propagandist.
Your sarcasm is outstanding. Well done you

Fascinating chat. Informative, insightful and Jake has actually given me hope for the Ukrainian people. Good MUST triumph over evil. Thank you.

Thank you both for your coverage and insights

Same here
Absolutely! Jake and Jonathan are doing a great job! 👍
Captain HIMARS has everything under control.
Thank you for your support 🙏🏻 please keep reminding your American viewers to call their representatives in Congress now and demand that vote for Ukraine
Thank you Jonathan and Jake for this. Both great guys not scared to speak the truth. 🇺🇦💙💛💕🇨🇦
Being dumb af and telling lies ain't speaking truth.
Thank you Jonathan and Jake....lucid, articulate and cogent as always...it is uplifting to to listen to a conversation that provides both insight and hope for democracy....🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇲
Evil exists only if good people do nothing
Jake is one of several commentator's I watch regularly, and actually search his channel listings if I think I may have somehow missed a post/upload.
I've gained more respect for you after this interview Jake , my fellow veteran. I'm with you on every topic.
The things you guys do, which allow people to re-engage because you delve deeper than the Trad media gloss, are absolutely critical. Keep up the good work, and if you get rewarded for it - good for you and yours! Many thanks.
Jake is a wonderful human being, and a true patriot, rather than the jingoistic ‘patriotism’ we see from many Americans, and I do mean you, MAGA supporters. His kindness is resounding, and an example to all. We all need to do what we can to support Ukraine because it’s the right thing to do, as well as being in the interests of all democracy loving people. Glory to Ukraine, from 🇦🇺
This has been a very interesting discussion. Thank you very much to both you and Jake. Glory to Ukraine! and Condemnation to Russia!!!
Are you so deluded as to think Ukraine has a chance in hell to win this? Why are you supporting the one world government?
Every discussion with a guest on this channel is fascinating and informative. This is a unique channel.
Jake is an inspiration. I have come to realise that to do nothing but observe means that nothing will change. As a result of Jakes presentations , I understand a little more about politics and how it works and about war and how it works. I regularly email my member of parliament and make regular money contributions directly to a small group of Ukrainian front line fighters.
Thanks Jonathan and Jake two very intelligent people that I'm always happy to hear what you have to share Slava Ukraine
You guys are both a treasure. I am a huge fan of you both. Something i would say to Jake if i could... I count my times in Ukraine between 2008 to 2013 as a chapter that truly changed my life. While i did not really understand it then, the experience of meeting Ukrainians (especially young people in ordinary jobs) with their incredibly genuine, ingenuous wonder about my life in a western country, and with their very kind and open approach to meeting was quite moving. I also discerned, slowly, their fierce love for Ukraine, for their culture, like a worn and cherished icon they had carried through generations and hardships. The people i met then, and since, were fiercely joyful, intelligent, funny and confident. I remember weeping the first time i heard the Ukrainian anthem with a translation in English. I remember how the events of 2013 rolled over me like a wave of recognition. That's my short story. Jake has already befriended the Ukrainian people. These are really wonderful people, they will be good friends for the rest of our lives. I hope Jake will go see them soon, for his own sake. (-- Greg, from San Francisco, at Upton on Severn, UK)
Silicon Curtain: You have a knack and a flare for hosting top tier guests. I expect you will keep it up
Great interview, Jake is one of the greatest youtubers about the invasion of Ukraine. He does a great job!!
Both deserve a medal from Ukraine for their effort for promoting the morsl aspects of the war
I couldn't agree with you more.
Thanks! Indeed a significant exchange between two aware, intelligent, sincere commentators. Wish there were more Jake’s & Jonathan’s around with such great insight!!!
jake not actively serving? he is serving the whole world
Yes....this is a very important service. Ukraine matters... STOP PUTIN.
Hh
@EvilKaren.I’ll buy you a brain transplant.
@EvilKaren.ok comrade 💤💤💤
💯Prozent
I've been watching Jake's financial channel long before Feb 2022 and was really impressed by his ability to present material clearly and entertaining. After Jake published his first video on Russian aggression against Ukraine, I was supper impressed by the clarity of his report and the way he explains the conflict to his mostly western audience. I'm Ukrainian myself often using Jake's videos to explain things in Ukraine to my English friends. Thanks Jake. Thanks to this channel for the great content and support.
Jake's brilliant. Love his stuff. Along with yours, Jonathan! A treat to see you both discuss the fundamental geopolitical issue of our time.
First of all, Mr. Jake is a top ambassador for Ukrainian people. I'm glad you gave him opportunity to present himself on your channel.
Huge gratitude to Jake for his commitment to Ucraine ! ❤️❤️👏👏💙💛
Been watching Jake's streams since the war started and done my little bit to like each one - because each one is captivating, informative and heartfelt.
Jake Broe is a gem of a human.
Great way to describe him, I agree.
Totally!! 💙💛🇺🇦
Ape in a suit ain't human.
@@adissabovic cope
@@adissabovic Yeah I agree. Putin ain't human
Jake has shown such maturity, and insight into the dynamics of the situation in Ukraine and Russia, it's actually put mainstream media and politicians to shame.
Jake's dulcet tones at the start of his videos are very reassuring. Had a bad day, watching the Vatniks twist the minds of yet more political operators in the world? Well, here's Jake to reassure you that you're not alone.
Lol
Great word, Dulcet, Jonathan's pretty mellifluos too 😅
@@carlgevers2557 😗
One of the best episodes you've done so far! Jake and Konstantin both are wonderful to listen to.
Jake could be a real angel 😇 I know he is not perfect but he is as close as one can be to my eyes
Thx to Jonathan / SiliconCurtain for doing & publishing all those invaluable interviews 👍 It´s so nice to see Jake 💗 here. 2 sane people, feels like soc media wellness right now to me :) As Jake says, Russia will go bankrupt first. All Russian social and economic developments look like a repetition of 1991, NATO as main enemy, imperialistic dreams, surpression of any opposition, crazy propaganda, much too high spending on the military, high inflation and so much more... Russia did not survive 1990. Why does anyone expect it to survive now under similar circumstances? Makes no sense. Slava Ukraini 💛💙 Ukraine will win!
I would like to visit Ukraine when it is safe to travel to their country. I am already learning the Ukrainian language and I am enjoying it. Slava Ukraine, Glory to Ukraine, Glory to the heroes of Ukraine.
Great video, also ex military and I'm also very emotionally invested with Ukraine ,I feel a brotherhood with them like I felt in the Marines
It is really a pleasure when two of my most favorite commentators team up.
No offense but Jake is my favorite RUclipsr who covers Ukraine. He's always presenting proof and data and has great analytical skills. I used to watch like 10 or more RUclipsrs covering it but now I narrowed it down to just 3-4 and Jake is definitely my favorite. Thank you Jake ❤
I bet he read a comments. Or he is just really smart and learning guy. I love how he say : russians will not gonna stop, russians support putin, russians will go and die for whatever its Tsar will tell. This is so oposite to western imagination of russian wolrd after Soviet Union collapse, they saw Russia as a country, with human values and economical partner. And I will say from myself : I enjoy his content, how he put a facts, how the guy, from a really far away, never been in Europe care but whats going on. Thanks for this chanels author. I'm sorry for my english, I'm lithuanian.
@@kartaispavarau 👍 Greetings from Germany.
Love Jake and you of course! You guys give me hope and are keeping the dialogue and fight going that my blood ancestors deserve and need support to stop this horrendous evil! I do my best to do the same here in Ohio writing my congressman and everyone I can, but right now things are definitely in a rut here in the USA and as someone who leans a little more conservative (but not a party person at all) Im absolutely appalled with conservatives in our country and to the rest of the world im so sorry my representatives are letting Ukrainians down 😔 If I wasn’t so passionate about managing my families 6 generation farm I would be there now fighting, but it still eats at me inside I’m not doing more than I can right now. We. just have to keep contributing however we can and have faith that the good we have in our hearts will defeat this beatable evil! Thank you both for all you do and God bless everyone here. ❤
It's time to switch parties until the GOP goes against fascism, not encouraging it.
You both deserve a bouquet of thanks for doing what you can to help turn the Ukraine struggle into a victory.
Thanks guys...really appreciate your work.
BTW.. watching you on RUclips on a mobile phone.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Jake’s channel is my personal favourite out of all the Ukraine war channels.😢
That was a fantastic calm, measured and honest discussion, something you will never hear coming from the russian perspective. Thank you both.
Thanks Jonathan for having Jake as your guest. The only fatigue I'm experiencing is the wilful ignorance displayed by too many humans who lack Humanity. This is nothing new to me, as I've seen it most of my life.
💙 Slava 🇺🇦 Ukraine 💛🫴🕊🟦⬜️🟦
Jake is the fucking best!
Hell, phuck yeah he is‼️
Jake , Your the salt of the earth type person. I could careless how you look or sound. YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH & THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS TO ME. SLAVA UKRAINE 🇺🇦
Jake, I love your style, your intelligence, your channel and your compassion. I check you, Starsky and Jonathan every day. First thing.
I am an avid watcher of Jake and Jonathan. Keep up the great works Gents! While we’re celebrating the strong voices for Ukraine, allow me to add a couple more names to the list: Professor Gerdes and Perun add different styles and angles to the conversation on Ukraine.
I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Denys Davydov. Yes, his content is focused on battle details so it’s more tactical than others, but realize Ukraine is teaching the world volumes about modern warfare. I think Denys helps the world keep the pulse of this war. His pilot experience comes in very handy for explaining Russia’s air-fleet issues.
👍👍👍
Great show. Love Jake! He has consistently supported Ukraine with effective military/political analysis. All you guys are doing a great job it is much appreciated.
This war is a reminder to all that our freedoms should be handled with maturity and discretion considering our neighbors sensitivities and not just our own.
Well said and it applies to both countries involved Russia and Ukraine - while the presence of and involvement of America has not been helpful.
Jake Bro is one of the best friends Ukraine has. Thanks for having him on. SLAVA UKRAINI
Jake is a bright litght in the darkness of war. Factual, positive and pragmatic. Very much appreciated.

I'm happy and touched, there are people who genuinely care and sympathize with the Ukrainian cause. Thank you, Jake Broe.
Great conversation! Been watching Jake since the beginning of the invasion, and I feel I learned a lot more about him and the war.
Thank you Jonathan for asking great questions.. very helpful video indeed! ❤

That ex Wisconsin boy takes this complex issue and cuts through it like a hot knife cutting butter. The result is that we all have clarity. Thanks for the podcast.
Jake it's great, that you two came together! Both of you very sophisticated educated and caring men. Pleasure to listen and hear your thoughts! So refreshing although there are not always good news and heartbreaking facts!
