You are that misinformed ?
That makes at least 2

Ukraine is the bravest army in the world
Dumbest i would say
@@JohnCSmith-lp1qr Actually I was thinking they are brilliant and innovative. That's why I want them on our side. It's imperative that we support them and assure their freedom.
@@janineclemons746 Well you not very smart then....dying for Lockheed and Raytheon s profits.🙄
@@JohnCSmith-lp1qr500.000 russian terrorists disagree with you...
And Operator Starsky is the bravest Ukrainian. It's just he's too busy making videos to fight at the front.
We keep DONATING TO UKRAINE 👍✅✅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸📈📈📈📈💰💰💰💰💰💰💰
You keep reducing russia's future.
That's the whole point. Keep it up.
Just imagine if YOUR COUNTRY was in the same situation as Ukraine..imagine if you were fighting for your survival,existens and than your allies,freinds puts different restrictions on YOU and not the agressor..its so ABSURD!!.its wrong in every way!
They're donors of weapons and thus have the rights to do so for fear of being dragged into a war that is not theirs. As much as we'd like to see these restrictions lifted, it's unwise and undiplomatic to act entitled.
Most neutral people's answers would just be: If you don't like the restrictions, use your own domestic weapons. And if you can't produce them, you should really question why you're still fighting on while begging for foreign aid.
@@majungasaurusaaaaIt will also become ours if the Russians manage to break through and reach Kyiv. If you believe that Putin is stopping at Ukraine you are naive and his reassurances are as good as toilet paper, as the Finns and Swedes immediately understood.
@@majungasaurusaaaa Absolute nonsense
@@majungasaurusaaaa they'd and they're still fighting on bcuz they dn't want to be genocided (i.e gouge out the entire intelligentsia of Ukr, leaving just a peasant class) by the Ru's. Not sure how many courses in school u were able to comprehend, bcuz your ability to think sequentially is severely lacking. Countries like those of the J10 never get 'dragged into' wars. They know what the risks are of situations like this attempt by Ru to literally upend civilization itself, i.e the european world that brought modern concepts like human rights, democracy etc. Ru is certainly going to lose its internal stability at some point in time, regardless of how this war plays out, but bcuz of this war. Biggest mistake in the history of the region in the past 400 years at least.
@@majungasaurusaaaa typical vatnik cope.
Operator Starsky is one of my favorite voices , and a Hero of Ukraine.
Operator Starsky has a good sense of humor that needs no translation. He is combination of wit, irony, sarcasm, and fact. A very intelligent man, he understands the war.
Operator Starsky was involved in the Battle for the Hostomel Airport, which was a turning point in the early days of the War. The Russian plan was to build an air bridgehead from the Hostomel Airport into the suburbs of Kyiv, and then surround and capture the capital.
In the face of overwhelming forces, Operator Starsky’s unit prevented Russia from establishing the air bridgehead by destroying the runway, and eventually repelling Russian forces.
Another great episode, Jonathan. Thank you 🙏🏼
Hows he a hero ? Since not in the trenches ?
@@JohnCSmith-lp1qr Try flying into Hostomel. I am sure he will greet you warmly.
@@JohnCSmith-lp1qr It's OK not to think pet there're enough of us doing it for you! 👍🏼
Man has been serving since the Maidan
Just out of Service.
How would you like 10 years of War?
A good brave man.
Thanks Jonathan! Starsky is the best!! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏🇺🇸

I'll never forget first encountering Starsky early in the war, in his skits. They were funny, sad, and right on target. At that point, he earned my trust 100%!
Operator Starsky Rules !!! 🤘🤘🇺🇦💪💯🫡🫵
Starsky is the true face of Ukraine to those us in the USA.
He's like my long lost brother.

A comment for the algorihtm.. Prayers for Kharkiv!
Doesn't it need *Nine* words or more?
Starsky 💪🇺🇦🇦🇺
„This is how democracy is built“ Thanks Starsky for reminding the viewers, how the western democracies came to life. They where fought for by the people. A lot of dedication was shown, and a lot of blood was shed to make people live in democratic societies. It was a process towards stable and active civil societies. The latest example is Ukraine. And those who never went through such transformations from autocracy to democracy, now sit in russia, and dont understand why to value life and other peoples opinion, why to go to work, and not steal from the ground, or from those who are weaker then you. Why to create and contribute to your community, and not take what you can, and leave nothing for others. Ukraine will join the EU and NATO, because the society’s actions and decisions are a blueprint of a nations path to an open, modern society. And all those things are a mystery to russians. They not only want to forbid Ukrainians to do that. They don’t understand any of it.
Well said
Ukraine is no democracy . No elections . Opposition parties banned . Journalists arrested or worse . At the moment the Ukrainian leader is illegitimate according to the Ukrainian constitution

Starsky,Jonathan ty for what you doing!👍👍🇺🇦💯🇸🇪
I was in Berlin in 1978.
The bus tour drove through East Germany to Berlin. No flower box in East Germany that were all over West Germany.
It was scary to have machine guns pointing on me at checkpoint as we lined up outside bus, while they search our bus before enter West Berlin.
I went back in 2023.
Berlin has changed.
and it's THAT most severely autocratic security state in history, the GDR/ddr, that Putin was last stationed in when the USSR folded. Severely rigid ppl ran the most brittle systems ever devised during modernity, in GDR and USSR and some other eastern states. Putin is profoundly mentally inflexible re all matters and wants what is a comfortable (for him) totalistic autocratic dictatorship, bcuz his is a purely extractive kleptocratic state. It's simple in that sense. The financing is complex, with the gvt allowing a system of money-laundering so that the elite can live ultra comfortably wherever they go, now with some restrictions not letting them travel freedly to western nations. There is only one solution, and that is containing russia. Literally there are no other solutions.
As a member of the audience, I confirm that I massively appreciate having Starsky on and everything you do, Jonathan.
Silicon Valley good conversation,Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇦👍🇺🇦🇺🇦👍👍👍
Glad he is still operating - good update.

It's YT thing, happens to me all the time and is frustrating.
Always good to see the bots triggered.
Always an interesting and informative guest, thank you both. 🙏💙💛
So good to see you again Starsky.
I’ve missed you!
Never mind the US. They are bogged in domestic issues. They are historically always late to the party. Europe is first in the firing line if Ukraine falls. Europe needs to take the lead. The USA has strong economic links with Europe and will step up eventually.
Thank you. Slava Ukraini!

No. Purges are not filtering for competence, but for loyalty
Lethal attcks in Poland by Russia spies? Sounds like Article 5 time baby!!!
RESPECT,
GREAT SHOW.
WE LOVE YOU BOTH...
SOUTH PHILADELPHIA, OUT🔱⭐.
Starsky is the best❤
Jonathan, Ukraine activists in the US are focused directly on the question of use of US weapons to strike military assets on Russian territory. I believe we will see the policy shift, hopefully quite soon.
Excellent post
Totally agree 💯 percent 👍
Put pressure on the Swiss for their air defense batteries that they are destroying
Good dude. Great show once again. Seriously you deserve so much respect for the support you give. Thank you sir. Hail free Ukraine
Brothers in arms is better than service mates
Thank you for this video

I recommend the STASI museum for those who don't have an over active imagination. I was fortunate enough to visit it before it was developed as a museum. A chilling atmosphere. Soundproofed rubber lined doors...
Terrifically fulsome interview and discussion, gentlemen. Thank you !
Slava Starsky !
Remind the Americans that he wants Alaska back, too!
...and to remind the Kremlin about their no limit friendship with China...Chinese want Vladivostok back.
Soviets aggressively arrested and deported 20,000 Chinese from Hăishēnwăi/Vladivostok.
and they claim HawI’i too since they once had an old fort on Kaua’i
Russia also influencing some Native Hawaiians since U.S. missionaries and expansionists toppled their native queen in 1893
I always love seeing Starkey and he gets to the heart of the matter demonstrates why putin is not going to win the war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 😊

I certainly enjoy the narrative expressed by this guy, he has a first knowledge and experience because he in UKRAINE , not people who are speaking from one perspective such Scott Scott Ritter
Scott Ritter is a traitor to the US..
He's now a pro Russian propagandist pos..a RUSSIAN asset.🤮🤮
Ritter is a Russian asset.
From the netherlands
Operator Starsky is UNBELIEVABLY good at his job :)
Thank you both! 💪💪🇺🇦💪💪💙💛💙💛🇨🇦
Thanks for the interview.
The fortifications likely worked perfectly. Pretending to be weaker at certain places, and also delibretly being weaker there is a common military tactic to get the enemy to attack precisely where you want them to attack. I suspected this from the beggining, but I suspect it even more now because Russia has suffered horrible casulaties and have had only very moderate succeses. The other I suspected this from the beggining is that there was a little bit too much theatre from the Ukrainians on this issue. Generally, if you have a problem you try and solve the problem. You don't broadcast it to the public.
I just love the two of you. Wonderful interview, thank you.💖
Operator Starsky’s description of Ivanishvili reminds me of one weakness within many democracies - voters often want to elect “kings”. Individuals that they believe will solve their personal problems. In a way, such voters don’t want to be accountable for solving real complexities and dealing with real world tradeoffs. Is it just a deus ex machina solution that’s being sought?
Jonathan , as always - the best !!! Thank you man. Im not gonna stop to share your new videos on twitter. ❤
Thank you for this discussion with Operator Starsky, much appreciated.
Always enjoy what Mr. Starsky has to say. Take good care - also from Canada. Slava Ukraine!
Love to Ukraine
Very good discussion as always. As a 76 year old American living in Kherson throughout the war, I try to follow things closely. I am in communication with my Republican Congressman, Chris Smith, from the 4th Congressional District in New Jersey, who has a perfect record of support for Ukraine. And Speaker, Mike Johnson, has come around to a practical national security (for the US) point of view. I am 100% sure that America will come through, otherwise I would not still be here. The problem is, of course, that we Americans take SOOO long to get our act together. But my goal is still to ride out of Kherson on an American M1 Abrams tank.
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 ♥️
Starsky is a wonderful guest, smart, thoughtful and has a great sense of humour. Thanks for this episode!
Service Mates = Battle Buddy
🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Starsky is a legend in his own time! awesome dude
Thank you, Jonathan. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
Putin purges show that, like Hitler in April 1945, he fired shoigu to takeover the war. But Kharkiv kicked his ass. He needs scapegoats now. Hitler knew he was losing yelling " Steiner! Why is Steiner not attacking. Putin is yelling, Shoigu! Popov! Why am I losing? Maneh Tekkel Phares
Slava Ukraini. Ukraini will win❤❤🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Thx Starsky
Thank you Jonathan and Andrij/Silicon Curtain & Operator Starsky.
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 "G'Day Mates!" I endorse Starsky's terminology, so very Ozzy!😁
Wuzzup guys 😁
It DOES help if we ask our Senators and Representative to urge Biden to let Ukraine use US 'supplies' across the border.
The real reason that US aid finally passed is because votes plus promised votes to use a Discharge Petition to force a vote were sufficient. Only then did Johnson change his mind.
Correct 💯 percent
The weapons our USA is sending to Ukraine are in the process of being replaced with far more advanced weapons which our own military will use. Many of them would have been recertified or destroyed.
Great interview! Thanks.
Thank you both so much!
You both are fantastic
Thank you, Gentlemen, for yet another insightful discussion re: Ukraine and our shared battle to preserve & protect the Free World.
Congress has NOT dictated how Ukraine uses the weapons - That is an issue with Sullivan and the WH. There is a good deal of pressure now on the WH over this. Congress WANTS to see the weapons used any way Ukraine needs to. Fingers crossed on this- it needs to happen!
Good point and I agree with you. Please see my comment on this point. As I see it, Jake Sullivan and his crowd are the temporary problem. PS: I am a 76 year old American living in Kherson, Ukraine, throughout the war. Good comment.
Great interview, always an education and reaffirmation of Ukraine's capabilities and resolve listening to Starsky.
No Black Sea coast for Moscow
Looking forward to next Live Marathon. The prior Live Marathon "War on All Fronts" had thoughtful analysis!
American here! Yes many of us haven't been pushing hard enough or frequent enough on our rep's, and various rep's around country who need to hear from as many citizens as possible re this war-of-aggression/choice.
I hope the people of America contact their representatives in Congress and the Senate, asking (demanding) that this suicidal injunction (to not use western weapons in Russian territory) be reversed. How can America (without shame) say "we will do whatever it takes" when they are refusing to allow Ukraine to do what it does take, to win this war?
As a politically conservative, but not a neocon, American here, I remain a staunch supporter of Ukraine's valiant defense of its territorial and political sovereignty against Russian aggression. I'm frustrated with my country's sometimes
ambiguous strategic support of Ukraine's war effort. I'm sure my frustration is only a microcosm of what must be felt in Kiiv! It must be extremely difficult for Mr. Zelinsky's government to understand the arcane intricacies of the political struggle being waged between the two almost evenly divided partisan camps in the US Congress that are only peripherally related to military aid for Ukraine. It is definitely not related to an ambivalence about Ukraine's situation, or Israel's for that matter. The crux of the issue is that the slim Democrat majority in the Senate has been cynically tying aid to Ukraine and Israel to bills that are otherwise deeply tied to the issue of mass illegal immigration into the United States which is particularly odious to the Republicans. It's very frustrating to us conservatives that the Democrats are playing partisan politics by using Ukraine's survival as a bargaining chip! The aid is finally on its way, but the Ukrainian defense forces have had to pay for past delays from the US and other European governments with lives and tactical setbacks on the battlefield.
It is clear, as your very articulate Ukrainian guest, Mr. Starsky, has pointed out, that the strategic success of Ukraine in this war is crucial to the defense of the entirety of Eastern Europe. Putin and Zhi must learn from a Russian defeat in Ukraine that the Western Allies will not tolerate Russia's or China's military invasions of their neighbors.
Starsky, you seem to be the long lost brother of a lot of persons here,around the world
Starskys looking cut!
