Awesome interview! I don’t think I ever seen every topic spot on he def knows what he is talking about I am a Ukrainian and I wanna say a massive thank you to the British BROTHERS we Ukrainians we are not like russians we don’t forget who our friends and Allie’s are! GOD BLESS 🇬🇧!And thank you for all you have done to help us fight these terrorists!
Hello there. First time on this channel, I wanted to take the time to express some gratitude for this video and the exposure it’s given to the general population about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Sharpie is one of the most phenomenal men I’ve come across! he’s so articulate, professional, strong & clear minded, daring and the exact role model I needed to come across. I’m in the early stages of my application for the Royal Marines, hearing this man’s journey and the continuation of is inspiring to me as well as necessary. Sharpie by name and razor sharp in his ways it seems, he’s quite obviously a zero bullshit man. I truly wish I could of packed my kit and rode in that truck with him to Ukraine. What a F****** Warrior. Thank you once again. I hope we see Sharpie in the future, safe, successful and making a solid impact in the world. Peace.
Well where do u start..? What a fantastic interview dodge...as he was talking and my mind is thinking along and a question is forming u had it asked...everybody should hear this...esp. the naysayers!! What brave ppl in Ukraine and brave soldiers going to help like sharpie!! Such an informative interview with no agenda or propaganda!! Well done to u both! I hope those scumbag, paedophile rapists are dealt with accordingly... found myself tearing up and cuddling my 1 yr old sleeping next to me hearing about the atrocious assaults on families!! Keep it up dodge fantastic..and please god you'll have him back when its all over!! Love and light boys and huge respect! Cheers!❤
Dodge this ain’t fair!.. how am I so addicted to this channel!! These interviews are brilliant from the guests you have on covering various different topics to your sick interview technique!.. mate I subscribed 3 days ago and have already consumed 13 hours of your content.. 👏 👏 👏
Great chat lads thoroughly enjoyed it, been following the war in ukraine since the start it was weird when it kicked off because me birthdate is 26th feb so i will never forget that date till the day i die and i will keep up to date with ukraine till it has ended dont think my brain could adjust to watching im a celeb when you know of the atrocities that are happening in the background.......may sound abit biased to some out there as we all know stuff like this happens around the world all the time whether it be africa, isreal, iraq etc etc but i say everyone each to their own.
On the 14th of May 2014, 48 people were burnt to death in the trade union building in Odessa, by right wing nationalist, That was 48 Eastern Ukrainians protesting that the Russian language was being banned were burnt to death by Western Ukrainian NA ZI,s. I'd say that's when it started. You should see the footage, used to be on You Tube. You can see survivors crawling out getting kicked and spat on. Or maybe it started when Victoria Nuland paid $5 billion, to the most corrupt country in Europe for a coup, deposing a pro Russian Gov for a pro Wrstern Gov, maybe that's when it started.
@@psy-op how many innocents died when the separatists brought down that civilian airliner ,with a Russian supplied rocket battery. Aren't they still wanted at the Hague for war crimes.
Great interview! One thing he's forgetting about the annexation of the 4 regions: now that they are legally Russia (as per Russia) they can now use conscripts for the fight in those territories. Before that they could legally only use contractors and mercenaries. The first interview on the war where they laugh. And they do it great because they don't violate the dignity or the seriousness of the situation. That requires great emotional navigation of the conversation. Well done!
I heard the population of those contested regions voted to be part of Russia, and received a lot of hardship from Ukrainians as they are basically Russian. So how would that be any different to what happened in falklands? Because we are told who is good and who is bad?
Well, these people are ethnic Russians planted there by the USSR back in the day, naturally they'd vote to be a part of Russia because they are Russians in Ukraine lol
Great interview, this giys got some massive balls doing what he did, good effort BZ ....FYI as a former submariner I can confirm Russian subs are actually VERY GOOD technology wise. British and yank subs have been playing cat and mouse with them since the start of the cold War (and still do).
Grate conversation, its clearr that there are well trained people willing to put there neck on the line to highlight that this war is still ongoing and real and not just a media circus
As a British soldier for 17 years during the tail end of the cold war, I and my mates had no fears about the Russian Army. We KNEW we were better. The problem was.. there was so bloody many of them! AND they had Poles, Czechs and Germans between them and us, and we had more respect for those buggers! Even then though the vast numbers didn't have us quaking in our boots. This century though!..as Richard Sharp said, we overestimated them. I for one thought that the Russians would have taken full advantage of the Opening of western technology to them.... they didn't, not fully! But their main downfall is they never changed their mindset! Lazy, corrupt inefficient muppets! From Private, to Major to General to Putin..
@@DD-qw4fz you forgot their stupidity and ingrained rapist tendencies... there's a big statue in Berlin of a Soviet soldier.. the Berliners call it 'The Monument to the unknown Rapist'
This sounds more like propaganda than what I've heard about from the BBC. This guy left out alot of vital info to understand what's gone on in the lead up & the last 9 months. It was a good speech from one side of the track
@@DodgeWoodall this guy is good but totally missed the whole pedo western leadership and power grab angle. Watch real Dr Faucci . B d n son is a crack head he like kids. Putin is being selfish and sacrificing russian and innocent Ukrainian s to survive but they want to clip him because his not part the click. Evil on both sides but it's not all obvious you have to think outside the box and look at zero hedge and open brain cells up a bit more. What they have done in Ukraine is war crimes and is evil but the other evil agenda is get rid of him and control everyone else they all love China NATO remember they just gave Afghanistan to China and Taliban leaving them 15000 night vision and jets so think about the bigger picture. BB c told Argentina that 2 para are going to assault goose green getting lots of are soliders killed. Dig deeper if your going to be a podcast journalist. 👍
Great interview, not really onboard with the Trump opinion. Clearly a very biased view on Trump, take it from someone living in America the majority of people including the left believe Ukraine would have never happened if Trump was around. If anything Biden will get us into WW3. However we don’t have to agree on everything, love the content and interviews Dodge.
Oh yeah? Elaborate. How would trump have stopped it? By being an isolationist and not funding ‘outside wars’? If anything a trump presidency would have only encouraged Putin to invade. The main reason Ukraines funding was withheld for so long was because of MAGA sycophants in the White House. How could you possibly think trump would have stopped this? By starting WW3 if putin didn’t listen to him? You people are actually braindead.
Yet again Dodge a awesome interview. I liked you dropped a bollock by saying he was in the army it to me a while to be careful what I had to say to my son as he is a royal marine commando.
Good to hear, I think some right-wing Americans are pro-Putin partly because he is a strongman who is nationalistic and conservative socially (anti the gays), partly because some of his interference may have helped Trump get elected (even if Trump didn't deliberately invite it).
Great interview Dodge, just like to add the US already had the majority of equipment in Europe for years, I worked as a military contractor for the US DoD back in 2019 and they did numerous rapid deployment exercises in neighbouring Russian countries to see how quickly they could deploy thousands of pieces of equipment and troops as quickly a possible to Europe… all the equipment came from pre positioned stock around Europe.
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway..... A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together.. In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !! Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !! I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ... Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, . When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did . During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia. Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia .. Also these people who advocate this view that Ukriane shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine. Putin has already broken those treaties. Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements. Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.
Well said bro. The anti NATO talking points are straight kremlin propaganda and it’s sad to see people living in the west who benefit everyday from the protection NATO provides even entertaining it.
Good on you Royal ! I’m ex RN , and I’ve lived in Russia for over 10 years . I will never feel about Russia the way I did 10 years ago. It goes beyond brainwashing.
Thing is, the quality of the equipment Ukraine has and training they are receiving by NATO is unparalleled in terms of scope and size. If Russia didn't have a threat on it's doorstep before it does now
How about inviting someone on your podcast to get the other perspective, George Galloway springs to mind. It's only fair and then we can draw our own conclusion because this guys source could be one sided. Also Putin is aware if he enters any NATO countries he would be obliterated, so take that theory off the table.
I dont know about you , but Richard Sharp reminds me of Mat Damon . He is very articulate and knowledgeable a fantastic interview by Dodge Woodall lets have more of this
To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
Speaking Russian doesn't make you Russian anymore than speaking english makes you English. One of the main reasons for the widespread use of Russian in Ukraine is the suppression of Ukrainian by the Soviets/Russians. Crimea isn't really Russian either. The Soviets shifted other ethnicities out and shifted Russians in. From 2014 they have been deporting the indigenous Tatars to Russia. Putin is not really trying to recreate the Soviet Union, he is more interested in recreating the Russian Empire. He is a Tsar in his own deluded mind.
Good question, one never asked by the pro Ukrainians. Also they seem to never have seen the many news reports on far right extremist nazi tatooed racial supremacists who have been occupying the east of Ukraine in the break away regions
I'd always been a little skeptical of the mass Russian war crimes, because war propaganda is definitely a thing; and Kiev is excellent at it. But I believe this guy.
@@psy-op yes. I can see your reply in my email but not in the comments in the youtube thread. you can check this yourself by looking for your comment whilst not signed in to RUclips. Its the worst form of censorship, having people think that they still have a voice!
Tell me who rusich is? Who Ratibor battalion is? Who Russian national unity is? Who Lugansk volunteer battalion is? Azov are anti Russian heroes defending their homeland. What makes Nazis bad? The patches they wear on their uniform or their actions? You know like invading, destroying, de-humanising, and annexing nations of people, I.e, exactly what Russians are doing to Ukraine. Instead you’re concerned about the patches azov wear 🤡

This stinks of mainstream propaganda, i don't think this will age well
Props for SKX007
NATO should never of expanded to the Russian border, just a dumb move.
Stfu 😂 if Ukraine was in NATO earlier none of this would have happened.
Such a good host where have you been all this time
Thanks HLM and we have a lot more to come 👍🏼👍🏼

How well articulated was that, great interview.
I dont know about you , but Richard Sharp reminds me of Mat Damon . He is very articulate and knowledgeable a fantastic interview by Dodge Woodall lets have more of this
Good man Ray :-)
To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them.
They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ).
One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
Speaking Russian doesn't make you Russian anymore than speaking english makes you English. One of the main reasons for the widespread use of Russian in Ukraine is the suppression of Ukrainian by the Soviets/Russians. Crimea isn't really Russian either. The Soviets shifted other ethnicities out and shifted Russians in. From 2014 they have been deporting the indigenous Tatars to Russia.
Putin is not really trying to recreate the Soviet Union, he is more interested in recreating the Russian Empire. He is a Tsar in his own deluded mind.
Mate REALLY and when do u think they wake up?
Very few people know that there were foreigners fighting for Croatia during the 90’s. 500 to be exact and fought Russians mercenaries there.
If Putin started this war last year, how do you explain that it has been going on for 8 years?
Good question, one never asked by the pro Ukrainians. Also they seem to never have seen the many news reports on far right extremist nazi tatooed racial supremacists who have been occupying the east of Ukraine in the break away regions
I'd always been a little skeptical of the mass Russian war crimes, because war propaganda is definitely a thing; and Kiev is excellent at it.
But I believe this guy.
The woman who said there were mass rapes who worked for the Ukr Gov was fired after she admitted she made it up

Its the worst form of censorship, having people think that they still have a voice!

Ask him who are the Azov
Tell me who rusich is? Who Ratibor battalion is? Who Russian national unity is? Who Lugansk volunteer battalion is?
Azov are anti Russian heroes defending their homeland. What makes Nazis bad? The patches they wear on their uniform or their actions? You know like invading, destroying, de-humanising, and annexing nations of people, I.e, exactly what Russians are doing to Ukraine. Instead you’re concerned about the patches azov wear 🤡
You should link up with Gen Dit Commando on RUclips. He too is a RMC😉
Nice work guys spot on Richard about Trump and thanks for helping Ukraine

Lol, you're programmed. The only reason this is happening is because Biden is in office.
