In other words he’s not proving to me that he has the expertise he says he has. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have it. Just that it’s not on display here.
Dude this glen guy just makes up the most ridiculous and broad formula for identifying a russian spy. Literally you can call anyone a spy according to his formula. Maybe even you are a spy according to him.

It is Russian imperial culture itself which must be reformed. In the same way the cultures of Germany and Japan were reformed, via comptehensive defeat, re-education and decolonised reconstruction.
you just need to follow the oil/gas transit money, and superyacht building industry, follow the money trail to see who is benefiting, and the answer is - too many, that is why it has been going to poorly for Ukraine, because everyone in that chain, and especially the ones now involved in circumventing sanctions, want for this to go on as long as possible

Colonel Grant impresses with his insights into military hierarchy. He emphasizes that modern Western hierarchical structures are based on initiative and motivation, extending to the lowest ranks. In contrast, the post-Soviet military hierarchy relies solely on control and orders, with no trace of individual responsibility and commitment to the greater good. For the first time, I learned that higher ranks must be kept open for future perspectives, allowing military strategies and plans to be realized. This approach is completely absent in the post-Soviet military. This explains why the attack tactics of the Russian armed forces appear so uncreative and inefficient. They continuously resort to the same "meatwave" attacks without adequate equipment and without any social cohesion within the ranks - all just to capture a few fields. In stark contrast, the Ukrainian defense impresses me with its initiative, creativity, and innovation, especially through precise drone strikes in the Russian hinterland targeting strategic and energy infrastructure. Finally, I found Grant’s description of how he uncovers Russian spies very informative. Thanks to the Kyiv Post for this highly insightful interview.
Oh what makes you say that? Is it the 888 days of him doing everything in russia's favor? Is it him being one of two remaining dictators in Europe, unfortunately in the EU? What gave it away? It must've been some hidden detail that no one has noticed so far that took it over the edge. Was it when he stopped humanitarian aid to Ukraine because there was no one in his palace to change his dookie diapers at the time, making him a little upset? Or military aid needed for self-defense?

Thing is, it doesn't matter anymore if the "Putin's men" know who they are and get paid by Kremlin. There are open useful-fools who just will take the contrarian stance to whatever foreign policy ruling party pursues like Farage and MAGA wing Kremlin's sell-outs. Many on the far right will swallow their covert propagandist distributed Kremlin's "western" narratives hook, line and sinker. And then there are even more obviously incentified propagandists - not holding or competing for political power- which might or might not have a deal with the enemy. I have one name from UK, a growimg influencer and far-right ultranationalist activist who defends everything Russia does in very low key and constantly attacks "the woke west", implying that NATO are the baddies. I know there are an order of magnitude more like him in US and elswhere, but this one is a special puece of work. Wouldn't be nothing new if he wasn't a legit ex-RAF fighter pilot. Despite that he tries to undermine the very RAF and military reputation, credibility, command and does everything in his powers to keep young blood from joining any branch of British military, while openly condemning any support to Ukraine. He has gained quite a large following at least on YT, with making new hatemongering/ fearmongering propagandist videos every few days and promptly deleting all comments who disagrees to his thinly-veiled fascist pro-Kremlin efforts. I could bet my arse he is a low key propagandist plant and likely an active information agent, fitting their usual methodics and characteristics (like being a total brainwashed dickhead and extreme-right nut) and his name is Tim Davies. His channel's name is as stupid as his false arguments, called "Fast jet performance". If you see trough that dumb bs, just go and report the chanell in general without giving him too much watchtime. He chooses his words so carefully and doesn't say the quiet part out loud on most videos, but the trend and goals shine trough. So an ideologically radicalised adversary asset at best and further a potential covert info-agitator - sleeper agent. Keep an eye on that nut.

When he relates about persons ingratiating them selves, and those people telling others they are great, they are the best. This blows sunshine up that other person's butt and tends to eventually turn that person to support them. Sound like any American we know??

The comment regarding how dangerously useful people might get fired by Russian assets, reminds me of how Donald Swamp had Marie Yovanovich fired to please his Fuhrer Putler!
That firing couldn't have happened without the Secretary of State cooperation, Pompeo. "Delay, flattery, trying to undercut the people who could get things done, blaming everyone else". That shoe fits, and definitely squeaks.
Definitely. But worst of all, Red Swamp will soon become POTUS again. In these very turbulent times, especially for Western democracies in the EU and the SAD when media cartels report on daily events using phrases like "WW3, tactical nuclear attack, number of troops coming" and similar phrases that are heard or used more and more often. Donald Trump is most valuable asset of Russians intelligence services. Donald Trump has been admiring the dictators, he calls his friends for years, while at the same time sending letters asking for "increased presidential powers"... Of course, without the obligation to account to any legal authority within the USA. If he wins power, he will become dictator and will be responsible for starting a civil war in the USA.
Putler lol so ludicrous a play of words. Especially when the Nazis are found on the other side,among to ukrainians(the sinister nazi battalion named azhov).
You're so right about this braking thing: my grandpa (political prisoner of Stalin times) sitting in front of tv RADA always said that comunists aim is to destroy all the initiatives, block the reforms and make sure nothing changes, cause the change is always an opportunity for development
That reminds me of when the full invasion of Ukraine in ‘22 happened, I was dumbfounded that the Kherson bridge hadn’t been blown up type second the invasion started thus saving all the territory north of Kherson. I thought to myself that sounds like a military 101 course! Come to find out that bridge had been set to explode sometime after 2014. As Glen said, it came out that the person in charge of that was, as Glenn said, a delayer! The person in charge was a Russian sympathizer or even agent and didn’t blow the bridge on purpose so the Russians could breeze right on in from the south! And the US had warned Zelensky and the top brass in Ukraine that their SBU was full of Ukrainians who were working for Russia or Russian sympathizers!

There is a reason in 1981 and 1989 Poles were not fighting war against the Soviets. Soviets would not get out of it alive. So they agreed to changes and they joined afterwards.
Fantastic interview. I learned so much. And he's a Brit. One of the best. Well done for organizing such fascinating insight into the difference between the Soviet/Socialist absolute mess of military organization and that of the West or NATO. Long may the NATO version live and protect those under its umbrella from harm. We are truly grateful and Lt.Col, Glen Grant is an absolute ace at his work.
British theorists could not comprehend the loss of empire after ww2, they created a theory that ALL multi-national states HAVE TO split up. so losing colonies is not a shame for them. in fact USSR and then Russia FOUND WORKING GOVERNING FORMATS to foster EQUALITY. So there is no sign of splitting. in opposite , small states are asking to join. combinations of the self-ruling of each nation and might of a large state. they use THE BEST of each side.

While Brits still work around LOCALLY BORN minorities bring called "immigrants".
Thank you to KP for this excellent interview. But why so short? What about Ukrainian army reforms? Is the Ukrainian army still working like a Soviet army?
Very interesting and well explained, the difficulties of reform and workings of the Soviet style military. He's not clear about it, but the problem gets compounded by the general style of management in the rest of each country's society. And in this respect, there is even a difference in between for example the USA and Swedish management styles. There is much less hiearchy in Swedish worklife in general, than in the USA. Americans coming to work in Sweden are baffled by the seemingly informal and relaxed work culture. So as professor Justin Bronk points out, the Swedish Gripen fighter jet system, would be very difficult to implement in other NATO countries. The Gripen fighter system is designed for dispersed operations on any strip of highway in Sweden, and is serviced by a six member conscript crew, and one professional mechanic. The thing is every person handles a multitude of roles, enabling making a fighter ready for a new sortie (rearming, refueling etc) in less than 10 minutes! (Theoretically, it's supposedly possible to do in 6 minutes, but in practice crews can manage in 8 minutes. Crews aparently take pride in setting new records...) But prof. Justin Bronk sayes that would never be possible with another NATO ground crew. People aren't even allowed to do things like arming, without detailed orders and someone supervising. Whereas in Sweden people are expected to manage themselves to a higher degree, than in for example the USA. It would be very interesting to hear more about how command and management is evolving in Ukraine. As I understand it, but I obviously don't know, at the basic level on the front, people have developed a much more independent problem solving oriented command style, than the old Soviet style detailed micro-management, and this in turn can clash with management style at higher levels, where old Soviet military culture still can be found.
As well as his policies when he was president, and the smart understood the messages he ostentatiously uttered. If he is elected, and he will be, because his opponent is a person of below-average intelligence and general knowledge (shame on you, everyone in the Democratic Party!), Trump will turn the USA into a dictatorship, and he will justify everything with "better expediency" and easier passing of laws.. The biggest Caterpillar dumper truck wouldn't be able to remove him from Ovale office...
Tremendously informative! One can easily see now how this plays and has played out. Grew up during Soviet times so no doubts of infiltration in powerful western countries and hope someone is listening to Glenn in high places. If not, I pray he is reaching out to those who will listen and clean these spies out.
Glen's Venn-diagram stretches into the corporate world. It touches on narcissistic tendencies in business, especially in keeping power and control. This hinders the growth of organisations from moving from smaller business into larger ones. Looking a micromanaging instead of letting professionals do their thing or classic wag the dog scenarios. Where support functions for the main goal becomes the focus. Very interesting clip, I di not know which turn it would take just by looking at the video title.
All those patriotic GOP US Senators and Congress that visited Moscow July 4, 2018 then praise Putin and that there was no meddling by Russia in 2016 election.
Listening carefully to what your guest outlines, it looks like 🇨🇦 and the USA need to do some "housecleaning" in the government ranks. I will listen to this a few times to understand what the behaviours are and then try to figure out how to get rid of the local "useful idiots". I can think of at least two high ranking people in the USA government that fit the criteria. 🤨
- Reactive versus PRO active... - Ability to plan ahead... - Denyability... - Responsibility/accountability... - Lack of capacity to DELEGATE... ( MICRO-MANAGEMENT )
Fascinating. The distinction you make between western and eastern armies explains the chaos of Russia's initial invasion. Less so their recent gains. Are they learning now, and changing their structures?
I'm only 4:30 minutes in - care to name any German NATO leaders who recently lobbied for the release of Russian dissidents in the prisoner exchange, and zero Ukrainian heroes?
What a great interview and content. I can clearly see from far that Ukrainian Military is fighting to get out of the Soviet style of organizing and structure their military. Watching the invasion of Kursk Oblast in Russia we can see a more western military fighting style where soldiers are much more independent thinkers and takes action based on their mission and situations they encounter.
I miss one important russain spy in the prisoners swap some days ago: Margerete Talor Greene, unfortunatly she must stay in US. Greetings from Germany, Berlin
I am a US Veteran. His explanation of the US advancement system vs Russian explains so much. Also research pre war Russian Recruit Training. It was all about abuse of those below you.
Infiltrated? Or inherently porous. Institutions whether civilian, universities, research, government and military or of whatever nature. Old Cold War rhetoric nothing new and pointless. People across the planet shift in migration just as animals where opportunities for survival and well- being offered promises of new life of whatever nature since antiquity. States are merely aggregates of all aspects of human endeavor, and culture defines their world what are peculiar to them as distinctive from others. All systems or ideologies, whether religion, form of government or structure failed arising from collision of perceived rights whether civil or human. No one, entity or government or entity can dictate what one or other state do a type social behavior, or imposed to them unilaterally what form of governance as stereotype, or ideal. This arguments here is complete non-sense. He must live in ancient military Sparta where all behaviors is unison, not democratic Athens of today where a type of action is regulated by national law of each country. Even international had it's basis, albeit always in favor of US-led West. All Information whatever nature for the past 2,000 years can be sourced through the internet and social media. No need for spies. 7.5 billion people on earth can learned everything. Spies and secret agencies are irrelevant.

The greatest understanding of Russian system!!! I’m so relieved they’re people like this!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Scott Ritter and Douglas McGregor come to mind for me.
Tucker Carlson
And the duran team
Just read Active Measures by Thomas Rid and you will agree with the interviewie, except, Russia has been doing "this" even before 1917.
Very interesting and well explained, the difficulties of reform and workings of the Soviet style military. He's not clear about it, but the problem gets compounded by the general style of management in the rest of each country's society.
And in this respect, there is even a difference in between for example the USA and Swedish management styles. There is much less hiearchy in Swedish worklife in general, than in the USA. Americans coming to work in Sweden are baffled by the seemingly informal and relaxed work culture. So as professor Justin Bronk points out, the Swedish Gripen fighter jet system, would be very difficult to implement in other NATO countries.
The Gripen fighter system is designed for dispersed operations on any strip of highway in Sweden, and is serviced by a six member conscript crew, and one professional mechanic. The thing is every person handles a multitude of roles, enabling making a fighter ready for a new sortie (rearming, refueling etc) in less than 10 minutes! (Theoretically, it's supposedly possible to do in 6 minutes, but in practice crews can manage in 8 minutes. Crews aparently take pride in setting new records...)
But prof. Justin Bronk sayes that would never be possible with another NATO ground crew. People aren't even allowed to do things like arming, without detailed orders and someone supervising. Whereas in Sweden people are expected to manage themselves to a higher degree, than in for example the USA.
It would be very interesting to hear more about how command and management is evolving in Ukraine. As I understand it, but I obviously don't know, at the basic level on the front, people have developed a much more independent problem solving oriented command style, than the old Soviet style detailed micro-management, and this in turn can clash with management style at higher levels, where old Soviet military culture still can be found.
This is a very interesting interview. If he has more to offer, I’d really like to know about it.
Viktor Orban fits the bill, noh?
but not his suit 😂😂
As well as his policies when he was president, and the smart understood the messages he ostentatiously uttered. If he is elected, and he will be, because his opponent is a person of below-average intelligence and general knowledge (shame on you, everyone in the Democratic Party!), Trump will turn the USA into a dictatorship, and he will justify everything with "better expediency" and easier passing of laws.. The biggest Caterpillar dumper truck wouldn't be able to remove him from Ovale office...
Excellent interview with a very interesting guest. Thoroughly enjoyed it!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Tremendously informative! One can easily see now how this plays and has played out. Grew up during Soviet times so no doubts of infiltration in powerful western countries and hope someone is listening to Glenn in high places. If not, I pray he is reaching out to those who will listen and clean these spies out.
Orban an Scholtz comes to mind.
Super!
If only Ludlum and McCarthey were still alive, they could point us to their exact whereabouts, those red bastards!
I am glad this guy tells what I have been thinking since my military days.
a deal is a deal. ukraine provides soldiers and battlefield, nato provides weapons and money. the battle continues. the deal is unbroken.
Glen's Venn-diagram stretches into the corporate world. It touches on narcissistic tendencies in business, especially in keeping power and control. This hinders the growth of organisations from moving from smaller business into larger ones. Looking a micromanaging instead of letting professionals do their thing or classic wag the dog scenarios. Where support functions for the main goal becomes the focus. Very interesting clip, I di not know which turn it would take just by looking at the video title.
A very informative and useful interview by a well-informed expect explained in an easy-to-understand manner. Many thanks to you both, guys!
Many of them don't even try to hide it
All those patriotic GOP US Senators and Congress that visited Moscow July 4, 2018 then praise Putin and that there was no meddling by Russia in 2016 election.
Bravo, Glen! Brilliant as always! I hope the people at the helm of the Bulgarian Armed Forces take notes and start acting at last.
Fake change or delayed change is a big one.
Algo + very pertinent and vital stuff discussed here.
Listening carefully to what your guest outlines, it looks like 🇨🇦 and the USA need to do some "housecleaning" in the government ranks.
I will listen to this a few times to understand what the behaviours are and then try to figure out how to get rid of the local "useful idiots".
I can think of at least two high ranking people in the USA government that fit the criteria. 🤨
who?
I see Tulsi Gabbard, Propaganda officer in National Guard; Gen Mike Flynn, former Psyops Commander
Very interesting, many thanks!
Mr. Lt. Col, why don't you accept your mercenaries in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Yogaslavia, Ukraine and the middle East
They won't 😂 uncle SAM lap dog cant bite
Interesting stuff, thank you!
Brilliant insight here. Many Thanks to Lt. Col. Glen Grant & Kyiv Post.
"They give themselves away." Exactly: "By their fruits ye shall know them."
- Reactive versus PRO active...
- Ability to plan ahead...
- Denyability...
- Responsibility/accountability...
- Lack of capacity to DELEGATE...
( MICRO-MANAGEMENT )
Fascinating. The distinction you make between western and eastern armies explains the chaos of Russia's initial invasion. Less so their recent gains. Are they learning now, and changing their structures?
And especially Georgia !
It remembers me of ''Spy Catcher'' book. I would not recruit russina hockey players , period.
Really good interview
Interesting points
I'm only 4:30 minutes in - care to name any German NATO leaders who recently lobbied for the release of Russian dissidents in the prisoner exchange, and zero Ukrainian heroes?
What a great interview and content. I can clearly see from far that Ukrainian Military is fighting to get out of the Soviet style of organizing and structure their military. Watching the invasion of Kursk Oblast in Russia we can see a more western military fighting style where soldiers are much more independent thinkers and takes action based on their mission and situations they encounter.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
What about Scott Ritter,also russian agent?(just interested...)
Excellent, brilliant!
Wow, spot on analysis.
Ukraine's drive towards modern military thinking has been astonishing - but the resistance to change must be huge.
Slava Ukraini.
I miss one important russain spy in the prisoners swap some days ago: Margerete Talor Greene, unfortunatly she must stay in US. Greetings from Germany, Berlin
😂😂😂👏
They do this incredibly well in Bulgaria unfortunately.
I am a US Veteran. His explanation of the US advancement system vs Russian explains so much. Also research pre war Russian Recruit Training. It was all about abuse of those below you.
The west is obsessed about Russia and that’s what I get from watching this man.
Hungary is an open door, thanks to Orban.
Infiltrated? Or inherently porous. Institutions whether civilian, universities, research, government and military or of whatever nature. Old Cold War rhetoric nothing new and pointless. People across the planet shift in migration just as animals where opportunities for survival and well- being offered promises of new life of whatever nature since antiquity. States are merely aggregates of all aspects of human endeavor, and culture defines their world what are peculiar to them as distinctive from others. All systems or ideologies, whether religion, form of government or structure failed arising from collision of perceived rights whether civil or human. No one, entity or government or entity can dictate what one or other state do a type social behavior, or imposed to them unilaterally what form of governance as stereotype, or ideal. This arguments here is complete non-sense. He must live in ancient military Sparta where all behaviors is unison, not democratic Athens of today where a type of action is regulated by national law of each country. Even international had it's basis, albeit always in favor of US-led West. All Information whatever nature for the past 2,000 years can be sourced through the internet and social media. No need for spies. 7.5 billion people on earth can learned everything. Spies and secret agencies are irrelevant.
Sir Keir Starmer was a Trotskyite who went on holiday to Eastern Block countries, why don't you start there?
