@@TimothyBolla-jw4ubNot really. Orban was a strongly anti-russian Hungarian nationalist after he started his political career. Unfortunately, he got involved with some shady deals and that’s why Moscow used to flip him. I saw an investigation that explained why Orban used to be strongly anti-russian and then abruptly switched after a trip to Moscow. Turns out he accepted a million dollars from a russian mafia leader in Hungary, Semion Mogilevich, while the latter was living in Hungary. It was all recorded and those tapes eventually ended up at russian FSB. Orban was told if he doesn’t do as he is told to, all of it will become public information and his political career will be over. That’s how he came back from Moscow “a changed man”.
The cognitive dissonance of the Russia soldiers is such that they appeal to humanity while at the same time going against humanity. They've lost the art of self-reflection!

It drives me nuts to see the media label him a British volunteer. Since moving to the UK three years ago, I've noticed a lot of this.

I think it's pretty obvious they are brainwashed and cannot do self thinking. Doing so would blow up their entire belief system and social construct. No one would think going on foot in wave attacks is smart use of manpower and wanting the best for it's people. Even in direct quotes they believe in what Putin is asking of them, believe in the cause and Putins origins of the war
Thank you so much for promoting Pete's fundraiser. I've been donating as I could for a few weeks. Pete took the time to write thank yous that were so touching - in my case he was thankful and funny. He always was so happy to get ANY support, amazed. His face lit up. You should post his Salt of the Earth Video. So touching. We can do this for him - he's over 15 percent in just a few days. He deserves it so does his unit.
If possible, NATO, should make new rules that will allow them to kick out members who go against their own interests and do the bidding interests of the enemy…
Pete, was a South African born British citizen. I saw his surname and thought that may be the case, but when he started to speak, I realized it was a fact. He had a South African English accent.
The major problem is that it takes 18 years to raise an 18 year old. Russia and China should have started worrying about their populations 20+ years ago.
Russia needed babies before the war. Now they really need them. Hands Maid Tale, here Russia comes. But don’t worry, after Trump beats senile Biden, the U.S. will be right behind, following Russias lead
Putin finally realized that the demographics Russia has in itself is a disaster for Russia. Why would Russian women want to have children whom Putin would use to invade its neighbors and die? Putin is stupid to think he will be able to get Russian women to have more children especially when their husbands and boyfriends are forced into combat were the get crippled or killed?
As a Hungarian who doesn't support Orban, I'm happy that he went to Ukraine for this meeting. Hopefully the relation between the 2 countries will be better over time. I'm sure our government won't start supplying weapons, but I can think of medical aid to be sent to Ukraine in big amount or wounded soldiers to be sent to Hungary to heal them here. Hungary becoming the EU leader for 6 months is not a big issue. It will pass and it's not that important. Fact check: Transcarpathia oblast is where there's a Hungarian minority in Ukraine. Even there less than 15% of the population were ethnic Hungarians before the war. There are settlements with ethnic Hungarian majority of course on its western edge. Grabbing some land from Ukraine as a spoil of war was never ever mentioned by any high ranking politician. In fact, I don't understand why the government is supporting the Russians this much.
Money. Orban benefitted nothing from being contrarian, the way Trump tries to (by taking a position that's just the opposite of what the other party, or the rest of Europe does in Orban's case). If we still had investigative journalists, someone would find a money trail.
@andrakis80 Orcban is an irredentist. He's also personally responsible for the depopulation of Hungarians in that area by giving them Hungarian citizenship and safety in Hungary. Yet he still wants this territory of former Kingdom of Hungary. He's now using this minority as a sort of Donetsk People's Republic to force Ukraine to implement his and Putin's will to make Ukraine collapse by demanding an one-sided Ukrainian ceasefire. This visit wasn't positive, it was a visit of intimidation by the Russian fascists, but I get it it needs some positive view, because before Ukraine is giving the KO to Russia there's going to be a lot of headwind.
"Gas" is not gasoline in russia and Europe ... So when gasprom says they're raising gas prices for russian consumers, it's gas that they'll be paying more for, not petrol for their cars. Thanks Jake for always being there for Ukraine and us ... And democracy ! Love and support from Australia 🌏🌎🌍💙🌊
“Gas” means natural gas, ie methane, that is pumped through infrastructure pipelines to businesses and people’s homes. The fuel used for cars is called either gasoline or petrol. The price hike means it’s more expensive to heat your home, cook on your stove, or dry your clothes, assuming you even have such appliances. Municipal infrastructure such as hot water and electricity will also increase in price. Russians will soon have to choose between rent, utilities, and food.
You said it perfectly: "It feels like a lot... but Ukraine's not quitting... and I'm not giving up either. I'm just going to fight even harder to stop these guys." Jake, you always help me to not despair for a little longer. Thank You. You are such a Good in the world.
"Putin promised him something." There is a joke in Czechia and Slovakia based on history. Fico and Orban meet and Fico says "Putin promised me power over Slovakia." and Orban replies "Me too."
Just donated to Peter’s final fundraiser and to Project Konstantin itself because he was a foreign supporter, like most of us, but instead of just giving money or time, donated his life to helping Ukraine.
XD I, as a German am laughing so hard that the Russians have to raise the Gas price for their own people. I have actually managed to lower the Price with my provider and I am paying about half of what I have been paying before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. German dependency on Russian gas was a myth all along, like everything about Russias relevance in the modern world.
well myth or not, russians managed to get german politicians by balls with that and get lot of grip. also fearmongering against nuclear is where russian trolls hit hard as it works so well in germany. politicians make decisions, not engineers.
retired US citizen here. proud to donate to your birthday fundraiser, and now equally proud to donate to Pete's fundraiser as well. I didn't follow Pete's channel, but from the outpouring of wishes, he must have been a really good guy. RIP Slava Ukraine
In every part of the world that I know of, red is liberal, and blue is conservative, except in the US. I am so sorry about the passing of Pete, seeing the video made me cry. I donated in his memory. 🖤
Heart is crushed by the loss of Pete, despite that, thank you for introducing me to him. My life would have been poorer to not have "met" him at all. Didn't know about his fundraiser, I donated.
Thank you Jake for letting us know what is happening in Ukraine. Those people are all heroes. People don't understand how they are fighting for their freedom. In my opinion every Ukrainian death is a tragedy. The United States should be sending soldiers and the hell with Russia. I feel so sad about Pete. He was a hero. My sympathy goes out to his family. He was a good man and his loss is a tragedy.
Thanks Jake for continuing to tell the Truth of what is happening in Ukraine, the USA and russia. Sorry to see UK Pete's fund raiser for Ukraine and learning that he had died. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes!
thanks Jake for mentioning Pete, he was a heartfelt human being and a rightous for Ukraine. Just donated 50quid, pls for all in the comments that can afford, I know this community can make things happen, I remember the birthday fundrais for NAFO. If Pete thought worthy the cause, we should too, let's get it done, I know we can. In the time I wrote this 1000 have being donated. In the memory of Pete, he was entrusting us to pass the torch. Slava Ukraini
No party will get an overall majority in the French parliament, the numbers are not there. Emmanuel Macron will continue his term until May 2027 with a fractious parliament.

@@ShawNshawN Sweden has big problems with recent immigration by Middle Eastern refugees, but in the US and UK the most problematic minorities are long-established ones. The most problematic minority in the US are ghetto blacks, who are if anything more "American" than the whites (given that they descend from slaves imported pre-1808, while the US had mass white immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries), while Britain's most problematic minority are Mirpuris who immigrated from Pakistan shortly after WWII to work in the textile mills of northern England (which have now all closed). I wonder which category France falls into?
The main reason for the good results from the far-right parties is the immigration crisis. They gained a lot more votes in Flanders, Belgium too. They never talked negatively about Ukraine or positively about Russia.
Here in Finland we use motorcycled and snowmobiles not to attack but to fast short range deliveries. Company of bikes make so loud noise they basicly say "we are here and unprotected"
I heard someone compare it to 1938 and the German annexation of the Sudeten land and Chamberlain signing the deal with Hitler and letting Him take Czechoslovakia
Hungary does not have access to the sea. They can't import their gas and oil by ship. They are getting their energy from Russia. Plus technology for their nuclear power plant. The gaspipe supplying Hungary and running through Ukraine is the shortest and most economical one. And Ukraine does not want to prolongue the transit agreement beyond 2024. I think that is the main reason why Orban went to Kiev.
Of course they can import their stuff by ship it’s called rivers and thanks to the EU. They can do that freely, but if they keep acting this way, they might not be in the EU much longer or at least have a similar suspension to how France semi left NATO under Charles de Gaul

Sounds like the sunflowers in Ukraine will have plenty of fertilizer for years to come. That on top of all the "converted to Submarines" the Russian navy now has.
No, agrar sector in UA is crumbling and has a 60percent manpower deficit, because harvest/tractor drivers were mobilized due to their tech skills. Ukrainian crops also gets fertilized by Ukrainians and such as Pete, even more, if you think that they end up somewhere in ukrainian soil no matter what.
@@irdorath356 Unfortunately yes this is true. But I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians don't leave their dead behind if they can help it the way the Russians do.
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Pete Fouche a fellow South African and brother in arms who restored my faith in the South African People after all of Comrade General Elon Musk's shenanigans, my condolences go out to Pete's Family, friends and his fellow combatants in Ukraine.
Can they fly them in? Turkey controls the sea entrance to the Black Sea and will not allow military ships in that were not previously registered there as their home ports. This applies to Russian ships (North Atlantic and pacific ships / submarines) too. Mine sweepers are part of a clean-up operation, so guess they consider them harmless after the event.
The day the Ukrainian generals actually start to believe that UAVs are an actual weapon that deserves to be used as a stand alone air force is the day Ukraine wins the war . It has taken nearly 2 years for the generals to appreciate just how well Maygar's birds work and elevated them to a stand alone regiment with access to the entire range of drones
@@GCarty80 No. More like huge armies of poorly trained conscripts are equalizer to modern armies. Large numbers of heap expendable trash can compensate quality to a degree. But they are not a game changers. Especially against prepared enemy. In reality relatively small numbers of tanks was destroyed by FPV drones. Majority was destroyed by artillery and anti-tank weapons. And that despite fact that Ukrainians have relatively poor SHORAD. The actual new quality is scale of front line awareness. But it is actually the West who dominate in that zone and basically invented drone surveillance (actual one). FPV drones are just poor man ATGM's. Lancet literally is just a extended range ATGM. Not a drone. Israeli Harpy can literally seek targets on its own. Trophy APS can already take out drones. It is literally nothing new. It actually explained why West start dusting off old short range Anti-Air systems in last decades.
Wow, that Pete guy is a true HERO! The way he asked for help from other nations “to STAND UP WITH UKRAINE! Because Ukraine will stand with you!” It’s so chilling because I remember seeing that video and at the end I said “They do need the bloody weapons yesterday.” I totally agreed!! Idk t understand why Republicans (some R. sympathies with Ukraine) blocked aid… it didn’t make sense to me? Did some R. want Russia to win? How does that benefit America ??? Awesome work Jake!
The fact that Russia wants to continue starting wars after Ukraine is laughable. The Russian military would get steamrolled by Poland alone, let alone the rest of NATO. Hell, if Russia starts looking like it's going to win this war (it won't) Poland would likely join the fight just to keep the Russians as far away from their border as possible.
My dinner isn't complete every night without The Jake Broe Show. Thanks for all you do. Wish we sent the weapons and everything else years ago. Pete would still be here...
A bleak situation for Russia and the rise of fascist parties including in the USA is a huge worry. Thanks for the update Jake and for remaining steadfast.
I am in the UK, recently the candidates in my constituency were asked what we should do to help Ukraine. This was the Reform party response: Q11. War A. We should work hard to bring about peace talks and end this conflict to save lives. This will involve western nations, nato and Russia to start talking and stop shooting. Reform do NOT support Ukraine, we should not support them Thank you for your coverage Jake 🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇪🇺
The Reform is headed(?) by Farage, who is as pro-Russian as most European populists such as the ones in France and Hungary. This response thus does not come as a tremendous surprise.
Omg... they want peace? The Bastards!! What kind of monsters want to end war to save lives!? If I had my way our leaders would be on the front line supporting our Ukrainian brothers. They've lost my vote, thanks for bringing this to light
There’s many political parties in many countries that tout this nonsense. They try to come across as peace loving and trying to save lives, but that’s just a smokescreen. What they’re really saying is that Ukraine should allow Russia to keep the occupied territories for the sake of peace. If Europe had taken that attitude in 1942 then all of Europe and the former USSR would be speaking German, the Jews would be extinct, and a Nazi kleptocracy would be running everything. It was worth it to continue fighting, pay the price, defeat the Nazis, and create the Europe we have today.
@@gerryhouska2859 The problem with cope cages and motorcycles is that the cope cages is a metal net. It won't protect the rider the same as it protects the armour of an APC. Shrapnel from the explosion will pass through the net and will still hit the rider. Only armour armound the rider would protect him. Cope cases only make the bikes slower and less maneuverable and thus easier to hit. Did the russians think this through properly?
"I am ashamed to be a Westerner." Peter spoke a language anyone could understand. He paid the ultimate price for his convictions and our security. May his memory be a blessing.

Yep
@@frederico-d3lputin has become his own hitler.
I think it's pretty obvious they are brainwashed and cannot do self thinking. Doing so would blow up their entire belief system and social construct. No one would think going on foot in wave attacks is smart use of manpower and wanting the best for it's people. Even in direct quotes they believe in what Putin is asking of them, believe in the cause and Putins origins of the war
RIP Peter Fouche 😢😢
It's one thing if the troops aren't equipped. But sending wounded people to battle?!? Thats like Nazi Germany in 1945. Slava Ukraini!
Perhaps some of their commanders are desperate. Afraid of being sent to a meat wave attack themselves if they cannot take village X by next week?
Or the Soviets or russian empire.
Who do you think the Nazis learned it from?
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
The Germans were/are at least a civilized nation of highly intelligent people.
Towards the end of 1945, the nazis sent children into battle. Gave them half a day of training and a panzerfaust and sent them to the front lines.
Thank you so much for promoting Pete's fundraiser. I've been donating as I could for a few weeks. Pete took the time to write thank yous that were so touching - in my case he was thankful and funny. He always was so happy to get ANY support, amazed. His face lit up. You should post his Salt of the Earth Video. So touching. We can do this for him - he's over 15 percent in just a few days. He deserves it so does his unit.
God Bless You and God Bless Pete. I will pray for justice.
Forcing wounded soldiers back to the front has to be a war crime by itself, right?
I think people thought that would be so counter-production that they never made it a war crime.
Sadly, no, but even if it were, what difference would *that* make from the Russian perspective?
I assume they're just doing this because they don't want to have to pay to support their veterans.
With the amount of war crimes being committed by russia, I doubt they care
@@tarazieminek1947 It always was a one way trip, for the Russians. I don't think they ever paid any of them.
Hungary should surrender 20% of its country bordering Ukraine to show how it is willing to follow its own advice.
Orban is such a NotCee :) Best Regards and Best Wishes!
If possible, NATO, should make new rules that will allow them to kick out members who go against their own interests and do the bidding interests of the enemy…
@@WORLD-OF-MERLIN Then NATO would cease to exist in the way it was meant to.
@@WORLD-OF-MERLIN Yes, absolutely!
Even Turkey could agree to this.
Thanks again for mentioning Pete. His last wish was to raise enough funds to support 22 brand new Ukrainian military units with the basics. 🙏💔🇺🇦
Pete, was a South African born British citizen. I saw his surname and thought that may be the case, but when he started to speak, I realized it was a fact. He had a South African English accent.
No negotiations 🇺🇦
No restrictions 🇺🇦
No concessions 🇺🇦
The answer is NO!
no surrender
Exactly.👍The answer is NO! 👎
I'm saying it again and always will. Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇨🇦
The major problem is that it takes 18 years to raise an 18 year old. Russia and China should have started worrying about their populations 20+ years ago.
Ahhh. But it takes only 15 years to raise a 15yo soldier.
With Russian optimizations, surely they can use 9 times the personnel to achieve it in two years.
Russia needed babies before the war. Now they really need them. Hands Maid Tale, here Russia comes. But don’t worry, after Trump beats senile Biden, the U.S. will be right behind, following Russias lead
1 woman makes a baby in 9 months. How long does it take 9 women to make a baby?
Putin finally realized that the demographics Russia has in itself
is a disaster for Russia. Why would Russian women want to have
children whom Putin would use to invade its neighbors and die?
Putin is stupid to think he will be able to get Russian women to
have more children especially when their husbands and boyfriends
are forced into combat were the get crippled or killed?
As a Hungarian who doesn't support Orban, I'm happy that he went to Ukraine for this meeting. Hopefully the relation between the 2 countries will be better over time. I'm sure our government won't start supplying weapons, but I can think of medical aid to be sent to Ukraine in big amount or wounded soldiers to be sent to Hungary to heal them here.
Hungary becoming the EU leader for 6 months is not a big issue. It will pass and it's not that important.
Fact check: Transcarpathia oblast is where there's a Hungarian minority in Ukraine. Even there less than 15% of the population were ethnic Hungarians before the war. There are settlements with ethnic Hungarian majority of course on its western edge. Grabbing some land from Ukraine as a spoil of war was never ever mentioned by any high ranking politician. In fact, I don't understand why the government is supporting the Russians this much.
I visited Budapest 10 years ago. A beautiful city and amazing buildings and friendly people. Cheers from Chicago.
Orban has ulterior motives, he thinks like a Russian.
Money. Orban benefitted nothing from being contrarian, the way Trump tries to (by taking a position that's just the opposite of what the other party, or the rest of Europe does in Orban's case).
If we still had investigative journalists, someone would find a money trail.
It's about cheap energy and not having starving pensioners complaining the cost of weapons should have fed them instead
@andrakis80 Orcban is an irredentist. He's also personally responsible for the depopulation of Hungarians in that area by giving them Hungarian citizenship and safety in Hungary. Yet he still wants this territory of former Kingdom of Hungary. He's now using this minority as a sort of Donetsk People's Republic to force Ukraine to implement his and Putin's will to make Ukraine collapse by demanding an one-sided Ukrainian ceasefire. This visit wasn't positive, it was a visit of intimidation by the Russian fascists, but I get it it needs some positive view, because before Ukraine is giving the KO to Russia there's going to be a lot of headwind.
"Gas" is not gasoline in russia and Europe ... So when gasprom says they're raising gas prices for russian consumers, it's gas that they'll be paying more for, not petrol for their cars.
Thanks Jake for always being there for Ukraine and us ... And democracy !
Love and support from Australia
🌏🌎🌍💙🌊
Good point!
However, they will have to pay more for petrol and everything else, too. Russki, go home!
Correct
“Gas” means natural gas, ie methane, that is pumped through infrastructure pipelines to businesses and people’s homes. The fuel used for cars is called either gasoline or petrol.
The price hike means it’s more expensive to heat your home, cook on your stove, or dry your clothes, assuming you even have such appliances. Municipal infrastructure such as hot water and electricity will also increase in price. Russians will soon have to choose between rent, utilities, and food.
Donated yesterday to Pete's fundraiser. Let's continue his work together
So sad to lose Pete. He will be remembered.
Donated £50 to project Konstantin. Please chip in what you can. Nothing is more important than defeating russia.
I don’t know if I can put together that much, but I’m going to donate once more. I like doing my little bit to stand with Ukraine.
Defeating Trump is defeating Putin. The entire world is in the balance.
I believe in the AFU and will continue donating what I can to support Ukraine. 🇺🇦💪❤️🇺🇲
👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you.
🤣
RIP Pete. He spoke the truth and was there as it was the moral ting to do.
Díky!
Thanks for the incredible support Michal! I greatly appreciate it! Díky!
Rest in peace, Pete. You served the free world well. True warrior. 😢
They won't get away with what they've done, the world and history won't let them.
But it would let the ukrainian nationalists who killed russians do that?
Rest in Peace Pete. Now its up to us to carry your torch.
RIP Peter, you will be missed, you are the real HERO 💔
You said it perfectly: "It feels like a lot... but Ukraine's not quitting... and I'm not giving up either. I'm just going to fight even harder to stop these guys." Jake, you always help me to not despair for a little longer. Thank You. You are such a Good in the world.
I can’t help but continue to be sad about what happened to Pete. It’s really put a human face on the cost of this war.
If Putin is seriously considering forcing women to have children, then I fear for the women in the occupied territories...
Putin passed a law that married men can't be charged with rape.
We should end this war sooner rather than later then. 1991 borders
🤢
Ukraine has already had thousands of children abducted to
Russia.
They were already kidnapping children. Medieval stuff going on.
Thank you Jake! Pete did a lot of valuable work in Ukraine, it's so sad that he's no longer here. Take care! Slava Ukraini forever!!!👍🏻💪🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧
"Putin promised him something."
There is a joke in Czechia and Slovakia based on history.
Fico and Orban meet and Fico says "Putin promised me power over Slovakia." and Orban replies "Me too."
Indeed: Slovakia was ruled by Hungary for close to a thousand years.
Plz vote for Biden. If not all is finished. This is not a guesstimate it’s a certainty. We need to support Ukraine to our fullest capacity
Pete is such a huge loss... 😢
He was an amazing man! 🫡❤️
Just donated to Peter’s final fundraiser and to Project Konstantin itself because he was a foreign supporter, like most of us, but instead of just giving money or time, donated his life to helping Ukraine.
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇬🇧💪
Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇺🇸💪
Go Ukraine ! 🇺🇦 🇨🇦

Thank you German Marcinkowski!!
Hi jake..Great broadcasting...GOD BLESS FROM THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND 🇮🇪 🙏
Blessed be the sacrifice of Pete.
RIP
XD I, as a German am laughing so hard that the Russians have to raise the Gas price for their own people. I have actually managed to lower the Price with my provider and I am paying about half of what I have been paying before the Russian invasion of Ukraine. German dependency on Russian gas was a myth all along, like everything about Russias relevance in the modern world.
The best thing is that they were mocking EU that we will freeze to death...
It looks like 2024 will be a tough winter for Russians... 😅😂
I mean fact you used gas and not nuclear is a joke
The only thing Russia produces is terror and destruction, not useful or desired commodities!
well myth or not, russians managed to get german politicians by balls with that and get lot of grip. also fearmongering against nuclear is where russian trolls hit hard as it works so well in germany. politicians make decisions, not engineers.
@@sefin84 it was so warm during winter i barely even had to heat my apartment, lol.
retired US citizen here. proud to donate to your birthday fundraiser, and now equally proud to donate to Pete's fundraiser as well. I didn't follow Pete's channel, but from the outpouring of wishes, he must have been a really good guy. RIP Slava Ukraine
So shocked to hear about Pete. I have been away for a few days. Thank you for another very moving report. With you all the way. Ukraine WILL win.
In every part of the world that I know of, red is liberal, and blue is conservative, except in the US. I am so sorry about the passing of Pete, seeing the video made me cry. I donated in his memory. 🖤
Thanks for mentioning Pete's Campaign 22.. The collection is now increasing exponentially.
Thanks for the support RAW! Yeah, I also saw Pete's campaign shoot up. Looks like our community is going to help buy a couple more trucks!
Heart is crushed by the loss of Pete, despite that, thank you for introducing me to him. My life would have been poorer to not have "met" him at all. Didn't know about his fundraiser, I donated.
Thank you Jake for letting us know what is happening in Ukraine. Those people are all heroes. People don't understand how they are fighting for their freedom. In my opinion every Ukrainian death is a tragedy. The United States should be sending soldiers and the hell with Russia. I feel so sad about Pete. He was a hero. My sympathy goes out to his family. He was a good man and his loss is a tragedy.
Thank you, Jake. Let us all support this amazing fundraiser.
Thanks Jake.
GO UKRAINE. SLAVA UKRAINIA!!!!!
Heroyam slava!
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
Thanks Jake for continuing to tell the Truth of what is happening in Ukraine, the USA and russia. Sorry to see UK Pete's fund raiser for Ukraine and learning that he had died. Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the Heroes!
thanks Jake for mentioning Pete, he was a heartfelt human being and a rightous for Ukraine. Just donated 50quid, pls for all in the comments that can afford, I know this community can make things happen, I remember the birthday fundrais for NAFO. If Pete thought worthy the cause, we should too, let's get it done, I know we can. In the time I wrote this 1000 have being donated. In the memory of Pete, he was entrusting us to pass the torch. Slava Ukraini
Takk!
Thanks for the incredible support Brynjulv! I greatly appreciate it! Takk!
i'm french and i am disgusted by the results of the election it's really sad to see and at the same time i am really angry at my country ..
No party will get an overall majority in the French parliament, the numbers are not there. Emmanuel Macron will continue his term until May 2027 with a fractious parliament.
How much do you think the pro-Russia right in western countries is driven by greed for cheap Russian oil and gas?
I am an American and felt same under Trump’s presidency. I think every nation goes through its own type of weirdness occasionally. Btw, love France but can not stand its politicians. Feel the same about my own country😂
@@ShawNshawN Sweden has big problems with recent immigration by Middle Eastern refugees, but in the US and UK the most problematic minorities are long-established ones.
The most problematic minority in the US are ghetto blacks, who are if anything more "American" than the whites (given that they descend from slaves imported pre-1808, while the US had mass white immigration in the 19th and early 20th centuries), while Britain's most problematic minority are Mirpuris who immigrated from Pakistan shortly after WWII to work in the textile mills of northern England (which have now all closed).
I wonder which category France falls into?
The main reason for the good results from the far-right parties is the immigration crisis. They gained a lot more votes in Flanders, Belgium too. They never talked negatively about Ukraine or positively about Russia.
Here in Finland we use motorcycled and snowmobiles not to attack but to fast short range deliveries.
Company of bikes make so loud noise they basicly say "we are here and unprotected"
this is our 1939 moment
I heard someone compare it to 1938 and the German annexation of the Sudeten land and Chamberlain signing the deal with Hitler and letting Him take Czechoslovakia
@@gawkthimm6030 Yeah well we all know what happened there. Hitler invaded Poland. Why does history repeat itself?
Hungary does not have access to the sea. They can't import their gas and oil by ship. They are getting their energy from Russia. Plus technology for their nuclear power plant. The gaspipe supplying Hungary and running through Ukraine is the shortest and most economical one. And Ukraine does not want to prolongue the transit agreement beyond 2024. I think that is the main reason why Orban went to Kiev.
Yes, I thought that immediately when I heard that he would visit.
Of course they can import their stuff by ship it’s called rivers and thanks to the EU. They can do that freely, but if they keep acting this way, they might not be in the EU much longer or at least have a similar suspension to how France semi left NATO under Charles de Gaul
@@stargazer-elite cost is higher than pipeline delivery.
@@defendandprotect-om5hv yeah but other countries have been willing to tank the extra prices for Ukraine Hungary dose not want to
Shutting the pipeline down is the only way to wake Orban up.
God bless you Pete,and you jake keep going my mate👍😉🇬🇧🇺🇦🇺🇸
Thanks Jake for bumping Pete's appeal, it's now a little closer mate. Slava Ukraini!
Donated for Pete. I hope we can make his goal happen for him. Thank you Jake for what you do.
How bout we give Ukraine some air defense systems? It’s not rocket science
I'm sorry to tell you, but there is indeed both rockets and science in most modern SAM systems.
I've heard some even do algebra.
from take kiev in 3 days.... we need russians to have more babies so they can join the army in 18 years xD
Putin is probably the dumbest military leader of history.
Guys I think OP said that sarcastically/for irony lol
🤯
I see what you did there 😆
Sounds like the sunflowers in Ukraine will have plenty of fertilizer for years to come. That on top of all the "converted to Submarines" the Russian navy now has.
The thought of eating Ukraine’s cereal crops, fertilised by Russian soldiers, is a bit stomach churning. I would keep that fact quiet. 😮
And I hope they will make money by selling those Sunflowers to Russians in the future
No, agrar sector in UA is crumbling and has a 60percent manpower deficit, because harvest/tractor drivers were mobilized due to their tech skills. Ukrainian crops also gets fertilized by Ukrainians and such as Pete, even more, if you think that they end up somewhere in ukrainian soil no matter what.
@@irdorath356 Unfortunately yes this is true. But I'm pretty sure the Ukrainians don't leave their dead behind if they can help it the way the Russians do.
@@darthsidius9631 Agreed!
Thanks!
Thanks for the incredible support Miranda! I greatly appreciate it! Cheers!
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Pete Fouche a fellow South African and brother in arms who restored my faith in the South African People after all of Comrade General Elon Musk's shenanigans, my condolences go out to Pete's Family, friends and his fellow combatants in Ukraine.
Those Black Sea mines should be towed and deposited at the Kerch bridge.
Also Royal navy has donated two mine sweepers but not allowed to sail them through the black sea until this is all over!!! madness
Can they fly them in? Turkey controls the sea entrance to the Black Sea and will not allow military ships in that were not previously registered there as their home ports. This applies to Russian ships (North Atlantic and pacific ships / submarines) too.
Mine sweepers are part of a clean-up operation, so guess they consider them harmless after the event.
Many thanks Jake 🙏❤️ and for highlighting Project Konstantine, it would be such a lovely tribute to Pete to raise more for this great cause 🙌💛💙🇺🇦🌻
The day the Ukrainian generals actually start to believe that UAVs are an actual weapon that deserves to be used as a stand alone air force is the day Ukraine wins the war .
It has taken nearly 2 years for the generals to appreciate just how well Maygar's birds work and elevated them to a stand alone regiment with access to the entire range of drones
Drones are just poor man aviation. They are useful, but they aren't replacement for actual air power.
@@TheRezro Sort of like submarines are a powerful equalizer for countries with inferior surface navies?
@@GCarty80 No. More like huge armies of poorly trained conscripts are equalizer to modern armies. Large numbers of heap expendable trash can compensate quality to a degree. But they are not a game changers. Especially against prepared enemy.
In reality relatively small numbers of tanks was destroyed by FPV drones. Majority was destroyed by artillery and anti-tank weapons. And that despite fact that Ukrainians have relatively poor SHORAD.
The actual new quality is scale of front line awareness. But it is actually the West who dominate in that zone and basically invented drone surveillance (actual one). FPV drones are just poor man ATGM's. Lancet literally is just a extended range ATGM. Not a drone. Israeli Harpy can literally seek targets on its own. Trophy APS can already take out drones.
It is literally nothing new. It actually explained why West start dusting off old short range Anti-Air systems in last decades.
Thanks for the Pete update and opportunity to support his cause. I have added a donation
Wow, that Pete guy is a true HERO! The way he asked for help from other nations “to STAND UP WITH UKRAINE! Because Ukraine will stand with you!” It’s so chilling because I remember seeing that video and at the end I said “They do need the bloody weapons yesterday.” I totally agreed!! Idk t understand why Republicans (some R. sympathies with Ukraine) blocked aid… it didn’t make sense to me? Did some R. want Russia to win? How does that benefit America ??? Awesome work Jake!
The fact that Russia wants to continue starting wars after Ukraine is laughable. The Russian military would get steamrolled by Poland alone, let alone the rest of NATO. Hell, if Russia starts looking like it's going to win this war (it won't) Poland would likely join the fight just to keep the Russians as far away from their border as possible.
Poland have habits of sending reinforcement, just ask Vienna and Haiti. I can see Kurwa becoming Poland's perkele
Rip 🙏 Pete 🙏 Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 to victory ✌️
Ukraine's FPV drones are the bane of Russia's military! 👍👍
Russian military: I fear no man
Russian military: but that Ukrainian FPV drone, it scares me
They make motorcycles essential useless.
Glory to Pete "Hasta la Vista" Fouche. A man worth his salt. So Sad. A Luta Conitinua. From Ireland
A country that exports oil and gas is paying much more for oil and gas. Oh the irony.
Hello from San Diego. Keep the good work coming Jake.
My dinner isn't complete every night without The Jake Broe Show. Thanks for all you do. Wish we sent the weapons and everything else years ago. Pete would still be here...
Thanks for the update. I appreciate everything you do for Ukraine. MUGA!
A bleak situation for Russia and the rise of fascist parties including in the USA is a huge worry. Thanks for the update Jake and for remaining steadfast.
I am in the UK, recently the candidates in my constituency were asked what we should do to help Ukraine. This was the Reform party response:
Q11. War
A. We should work hard to bring about peace talks and end this conflict to save lives. This will involve western nations, nato and Russia to start talking and stop shooting.
Reform do NOT support Ukraine, we should not support them
Thank you for your coverage Jake
🇬🇧🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🏴🇺🇦🇪🇺
Farage Trump Putin……same turds
Thank you for illustrating just how shallow and vacuous Reform is as a political party.
🏴🇬🇧🇺🇦💛💙
The Reform is headed(?) by Farage, who is as pro-Russian as most European populists such as the ones in France and Hungary. This response thus does not come as a tremendous surprise.
Omg... they want peace? The Bastards!! What kind of monsters want to end war to save lives!? If I had my way our leaders would be on the front line supporting our Ukrainian brothers.
They've lost my vote, thanks for bringing this to light
There’s many political parties in many countries that tout this nonsense. They try to come across as peace loving and trying to save lives, but that’s just a smokescreen. What they’re really saying is that Ukraine should allow Russia to keep the occupied territories for the sake of peace. If Europe had taken that attitude in 1942 then all of Europe and the former USSR would be speaking German, the Jews would be extinct, and a Nazi kleptocracy would be running everything. It was worth it to continue fighting, pay the price, defeat the Nazis, and create the Europe we have today.
I don't think the gas being discussed in the Russian tariff is gasoline, but rather natural gas.
Indeed it is: Gazprom is a (state-owned) natural gas company.
Thank you for boosting Pete's last fundraiser
Main advantage of motorcycle is that you can run away faster. Russians not so smart.
ruSSian motorcycles need cope cages to be protected from drones.
key words- "Run away". Nope. These are "running toward"
@@gerryhouska2859 The problem with cope cages and motorcycles is that the cope cages is a metal net. It won't protect the rider the same as it protects the armour of an APC. Shrapnel from the explosion will pass through the net and will still hit the rider. Only armour armound the rider would protect him. Cope cases only make the bikes slower and less maneuverable and thus easier to hit. Did the russians think this through properly?
"I am ashamed to be a Westerner." Peter spoke a language anyone could understand. He paid the ultimate price for his convictions and our security. May his memory be a blessing.
