I'm 71 and have been an observer of the world since I was 14. And I find Jake one of the most brilliant strategic analysts I've ever seen. Jake for President!
And I'm 81 and I am sure we would feel more secure with someone like Jake for President. Much as I cared for Ronald Reagan I feel a US veteran would do a better job than someone out of Hollywood!
his view of geopolitics must be shaped by the fact that he was vital in the chain of command that would send US Missiles with nuclear warheads into Cities where many millions would die.

I fully agree, Jake has the leadership, energy and strategic mind to be a leader. It would be wonderful to see the day when he or someone like him becomes president of the free world
Jake Broe is one of two channels that I watch to keep up to date with the Russian war. He's very good at what he does and presents it calmly and in detail.
Yes, one of two...the other, for me, is Artur Rehi. I actually found Rehi first, and then he said so much good stuff about Jake that I started watching him, too.
I cant get enough episodes from Jake Broe and now everyone around the world is keeping him even busier. Glory to Ukraine. Jake Broe Rocks! JJ Smart Too.
@@AgatBluvsky-ow9gpTerrible grammar..Do not mix upper and lowercase. It makes it unreadable for us western degenerates with low attention thresholds. No potatoes today I am afraid. Better than going to the contact line though.
I barely knew the name Buttigieg until a week or two ago. But he is incredibly well spoken (like Jake Broe). A breath of fresh air for us nerds that like logic and common sense.
I have heard more than a dozen able to speak that well, from both parties even this year (more in Dems side since MAGA, used to hear over that number when Republicans valued those skills) - it's just that they don't get much air time in major media. How many get a long interview to show their skills?
From Canada: For those reading this comment and are not familiar with Jake’s RU-vid channel kindly let me tell you that there is no one no one more informed on the broader strategies at play in this hideous Russian invasion. Jake, although running a one man show, beats the networks hands down on providing current developments and overall strategic analysis regarding Ukraine. Moreover, his approach is loaded with good insight, common sense, deep empathy, and no bull shit. But you don’t have to take it from me - go look. Jake Broe RU-vid

Well done, Jake! You nailed every question with a clear vision of the reality of the situation. Thank you for your hard work, daily updates, and continued support for Ukraine! 🇺🇦
Great respect to Jake. Denmark still and forever Supporting Ukraine 🇩🇰❤️🇺🇦 Edit: I too wish our government could restrict shipping. If it can be done, within international laws.
I think the current political calculation is, the Danish straits are treated as an international waterway under the same "international laws of the seas" -which allows for Turkey to restrict who can sail through its straight...
Denmark here. They can since the old tankers that russia uses are a threat to the environment and a risk of accidents. I actually don't know why it has not been done yet.
Boris Johnson: "At present, the Russians are using air-launched glide bombs to do significant damage to Ukrainian positions. But the Ukrainians can’t fire back because the U.S. (Joe Biden) won’t let them use the ATACMS to get at the Russian airfields. Never forget, it was Trump, not Obama or Biden, who gave the Ukrainians the Javelin anti-tank weapons that were so crucial in the Battle for Kyiv in 2022. Trump already has a record of making decisive military intervention on behalf of Ukrainian democracy." DailyMail 21 July 2024
@@migsvensurfing6310 The problem with that is it would be a major risk of escalation. Not only would you be be isolating a piece of russian territory from the Russian mainland, you would also be effectively blockading a russian military port. While I don't have a problem with that, since the russians have no problems with provoking us in the West, that is what is holding western politicians back.
Jake, thank you very much for clarifying to fearful people how fear of a nuclear carastrophy is not justification to apeace a dictator and a murderer. I'm 100% with you.
Nope it's all Trump's fault. If he had done his job: to serve the interests of the elite, he wouldn't have been usurped and Putin would never have embarked on his military adventure in Ukraine.
It's a mixture of people's fault. Stalin for persecuting the food growers during his silly Collectivism debacle. The CIA's for meddling in Ukraine and supporting Ukrainian Nationalist Groups and starting Operation Red Sox, The Wests for not listening to Russian security concerns. Ukraine's for not being strong enough to tell the west "NO, we wont all die for your ends", Putin's for starting an invasion in 2022, Ukraine’s Acting President Olexander Turchynov for starting the “anti-terrorist operation” (ATO) against pro-Russian separatists in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions. It's rather complex when you learn ALL the facts.
Indeed. Putin is a complete fool. He's not an economist; he's a KGB agent. He doesn't understand money, which is why the Soviet Union collapsed. All he understands is power, control, ruthlessness, and orders. He thinks printing more rubles and offering signup bonuses will help the war effort. He doesn't comprehend inflation or why people protest. He thinks the CIA pays protestors to protest; not because they want a better life. We're all slaves in his mind.
I believe they generally get the signing bonus but there pay is variable if paid and when people are injured they simply turn them back into the next assault as a dead man gets nothing, especially when he only gets labelled Mia.
Jake has a unique ability to see the reality of the situation. Unfortunately over 90% of our politicians lack this ability and we, along with the Ukrainians will suffer because of it.
Jake's "unique ability" is discarding any domestic concerns while having the US exist merely for the benefit of Ukraine. Our politicians understand that Jake's perspective doesn't withstand domestic political scrutiny.
@@wisenber You're looking at the trees but Jake is looking at the forest. Your post might as well just say "The border, the border, brown immigrants, fentanyl!". Jake just brought up an important fact. Orban (Putin's loyal lap dog) just did his own "Peace tour" where he went from Kyiv (to beg Zelensky to accept all of Putin's demands), to Moscow, to Beijing, to America. But Orban did not fly to DC. Orban flew directly to Mar-a-Lago. For anybody watching the big picture, it's very clear that a global game of "democracies vs dictators" is forming. And Trump is on the wrong side as he is siding with Putin, Xi, and Kim Jong Un. Do you support democracy or dictators? If you live in a democractic country, you are free to make your own choice. If you live in a dictatorship, you are not free to express your decision. Where do you stand on this issue?
@@christophermurphy4511 I'm looking at reality and not a parable or allegory. The reality is that Jake looks at the US through the lens of a tool for Ukraine, not a nation with its own interests that are far more varied. If you think Trump is antagonist to democracy, you're looking at a splinter in your own eye. If you think China hasn't seen the Biden/ Harris slow ineffective incrementalism as weak, you're about as cognizant as your trope.
@@christophermurphy4511 No use argueing with Trumpers. At this point, if they still support Trump, then they have made it abundantly clear they don't give a damn about democracy. You even heard it when they argue "US is not a democracy but a constitutional republic" as if one immedeatly has to exclude the other. To them, it doesn't matter if Trump would get caught being a PDFile, they'd still support him aslong as they get what they want. Autocracy supporters are always the same, they do so because they think that suddenly -they- will become top of the foodchain, and that -they- get to persecute everyone they don't like. But as soon as they're on the receiving end of being stuck with a dictator, they'll be the loudest to cry about it.
Jake makes me proud to be American despite the number of people in this country who have lost their moral compass and support fascists instead of democracies.
You mean the "democrat party fascists" who pushed Joe Biden out of the race after 14 million Americans voted for him and their new candidate never earned a single primary vote??!! Wake up!
@@mikitz What about the democrat party that claims to be the "defenders of democracy"? They pushed their candidate that won 14 million votes through the democratic process out of the race for president replacing him with a woman who never won a single primary vote?
@@peterwinkler4934 Jake lies saying Speaker Johnson and US House Republicans took 8 months to pass the last aid bill to Ukraine. Reality is within weeks of becoming the Speaker of the House in late October 2023, the House passed a bill with $61 billion in new aid for Ukraine in December 2023. The Democrat led US Senate defeated the bill and drug out the approval process for 4 months of the bill eventually passed in April. Jake Sullivan works for Joe Biden. Joe Biden refuses to lift the restriction on the full use of ATACMS that Republican Congress men forced him to send to Ukraine in the last bill. Most people recognized credible analysts by their accurate and objective analysis. Jake is neither of those things.
Not really. Not at all. He's completely in the tank for the American Democrat party, as seen with his slobbering treatment of the Biden administration. This ignores the cold, hard fact that Trump provided Ukraine the Javelins which kept Ukraine free in 2022 while Obama & Biden gave Ukraine blankets & MRE's in the aftermath of the 2014 invasion. He also openly lies at 10:18 ; Project 2025 is from a think tank and not from Trump's campaign.
Jake is always a democrat shrill repeating democrat talking points even after the "defenders of democracy" dismissed 14 million votes forcing Joe out. Jake says he doesn't trust anyone who was on President Trump's staff but he will gladly support Harris who never earned a single primary vote and lied to the American people for years about Joe's cognitive decline.

@@laars0001 dude russia just blee up 4 himars systems in the last couple of days. People like the owner of this channel give people false hope and send people to die for no rrason.
@@AgatBluvsky-ow9gp Repeat the lies often enough, it will be true, hey katsap? The truth: The vatnik is almost correct. Like all r@ssiyan propaganda, a little bit of truth in a big lie helps you/them believe it. I will quote their account: «The information regarding the personnel decision regarding the commander of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces of Ukraine, Colonel Ishkulov Emil Shamilovych, has become widely publicized. The specified information is accompanied by an incorrect interpretation and contains a number of inaccuracies. Colonel Emil Ishkulov is a very experienced combat officer who has passed through all command ranks in the units of the Ukrainian landing forces, a knight of the orders of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degrees of "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi". At the beginning of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine in 2014, he commanded the reconnaissance platoon of the 25th separate airborne Sichelava brigade, where he made his way to the commander of the parachute battalion. In the future, he successfully performed extremely difficult combat tasks, in particular, commanding a separate unit of the 81st separate airmobile brigade of Slobozhansk in the southern direction, and later for quite a long time of the Galician brigade of the DSHV in the Bakhmutsky direction. Accordingly, taking into account the invaluable combat and command experience of this officer, by the decision of the military leadership, Colonel Ishkulov will be appointed to a higher position. This will allow him to apply his knowledge, skills and leadership qualities, acquired during the planning and organization of combat operations, already on the scale of the Airborne Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. It should be noted that the newly appointed commander of the 80th separate Halych assault brigade of the DSH of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is a competent combat officer who is a People's Hero of Ukraine and a knight of the Orders of I, II and III degrees of "Bohdan Khmelnytskyi" of all degrees, for a long time successfully conducted combat operations in the of this legendary brigade.» So, it may be clear, he was not dismissed but due to a misunderstanding some of his inferior officers thought he was. The 80th Air Assault has been in and around Bakhmut area for years. This vatnik you reply to posts lies. There were no arrests, no refusals to fight, no "meat wave" attacks by ZSU. The vatnik lies.
If Harris wins, America Loses. If America Loses, we CANNOT support Ukraine. She is weak, and our enemies (aka Putin) will take advantage of her weakness. So will Xi. So will ALL of the Dictators, and wanna-be Dictators. She is even Weaker than Joe is.
Always a great interview with Jake Broe. Now that you're on major media Jake, when is your book coming out? 😂 (Just kidding; I would totally read your book).

Agreed. And it seems absurd to me to take anything he or Trump says serious. They willl say anything to get elected but we already know that Trump will then only do whatever Putin and Xi want him to.
@@AstroGremlinAmerican I have to disagree. I think people are the same and culture can be learned. Also, my comment was give up imperialism. Even if they still have a czar, that is not imperialist, the people will still be far better off.
I saw an interesting documentary that suggested the reason Russia became so authoritarian was because the central government in Moscow could not control such a vast territory otherwise. Russia in the 1700-1800's had very poor transportation and communications systems, so the tsars simply ruled by force. Infrastructure has improved somewhat, but is sliding backwards fast now with the subjugation of the Internet/TV to propaganda and planes falling out of the sky due to poor maintenance due to sanctions. If, someday, Russia can integrate better via improved infrastructure, I think it can survive and free itself from autocracy. Otherwise, it should divide into separate countries that can be better integrated, more responsive to the local population, and maybe more democratic.
Jake knows I've already told him this before. Everyday you are beginning to sound more and more like the president of the /united States of America. I think you have a gift to feel other people's pain. You also have the determination to implement fair solutions to what's going on in the ongoing war. You have military background and you know what's going on in Washington. You speak very clearly and you care about the American people. You definitely are not afraid to speak your mind. People listened to what you have to say and they liked what you have to say. I've been listening to you for some time now and you are becoming more & more engaged on your channel. You are so good with what you do and you have the data to backed it up. Donald Trump stands no chance to u when it comes to debate, you totally would crushed him. You are smart but not cocky or arrogant. Las Vegas could really used a senator like u!
Biden has been a great friend of Ukraine. Remember Yanukovych? Pootin signed Paul Manafort to win the elections for him and he did. After that Pootin signed Manafort to fix the elections for the Trump and he did. When Trump was the president he denied all the help for the Ukraine. That meant that nobody else could do anything. Trump paralyzed the situation. Trump was constantly trying to make money out of Ukraine. He was openly blackmailing the Ukraine. Then comes Biden who starts organizing. Then Pootin decides to attack. Finnish President contacts Biden and Biden clears his schedule. Plan is made. Finland into the Nato fast. And we will inform the Swedish. In July Nato members signed Ukraine under Finland. It is now Finland that takes responsibility of getting the Ukraine through. In Finland nobody gives a 💩 about what Trump or Pootin thinks. Finnish Nato HQ for the land troops went online this weekend.

You're right! The Russian Government just can't be trusted for anything! not even by its own citizens! and that's the main reason that even right now there are already a lot of Russian soldiers complaining about not only not getting their salaries paid but also even about not getting enough food, not getting enough water and in fact even about not getting almost anything that they need!
When you count debt as gdp, when bread costs 3 dollars in your country and 20 cents in Russia, when maxing on credit cards, and services count to the gdp......you failed to realise that what really matters is : what country can be self sufficient to survive and even be happy, is it the poor in natural resources, and poor in industry the Netherlands or is it a country that her industry can produce more artillery shells than all of the rest of Europe combined?

This is exactly the kind of comment that stokes up racism. "Oh.. look at all the disgusting dirty little Russians off to buy a toilet". It's disgusting. Russia is full of humans that want exactly the same things you do. Freedom, love, a beer in the evening, a job that pays the bills with some left over for leisure. Pick on the ones in command, sure, but leave the 'little people' alone.
Unlike Jake Sullivan, who is a prep school punk with no real world experience, who advises out of fear. "Russia CAN'T collapse! Whatever will we do??" Jake Sullivan was 15 years old when the Soviet Union collapsed. And guess what? No one got nuked. The U.S. provided emergency funds for the various former Soviet Republics to maintain their nuclear weapons in a safe and secure manner. Just do that again.
C'est clair... Mais a choisir je préfère jake B. À mon avis bien mieux "formé" aux questions internationales et subtilités du monde dipl et politique. X Tytelman dérape de temps à autre d' une part et ses formations et spécialités sont autres. Sur celles ci il est très intéressant. Ses itw récentes de "nos" experts éclairent avec les commentaires de son public tout ce que l on ignore tant les domaines sont vastes. Mais assurément c est la meilleure source d' info. En france.

Jake. Great presentation again. Great research and reporting. Someone we can believe to give an honest report on the war. I'm a new fan of yours. I believe you are destined for greater things and success in work and life.
The Russian sign-ups will never see the money, nor will their family, who, to be fair, may get a bag of potatoes or a new fridge when their loved one is blown to pieces in Ukraine (as long as the remains are returned and can be verified.)
The Russian government compensates the families of fallen soldiers with a lump sum payment of approximately 7.4 million rubles, which is around $77,000.
Its extremely hard to equate this insightful, intelligent and compassionate Jake with being a marine! Usually you see the worst of the ex marines, like some of the Jan 6 traitors. So, well done Jake for being the person who cares about Ukraine! (with apologies to Prof Gerdes...)
Jake is my "GO TO" channel for accurate & unbiased news on the Russia/Ukraine War. While his news is not always positive for Ukraine, I respect and accept his work for just that reason. He doesn't "SugarCoat" his broadcast in favor of Russia or Ukraine. He calls it like it is.
Great interview. When making comparisons of the russian economy people often compare it to Italy, but an even more hilarious comparison is that the state of Florida in the USA has a GDP the same size as decrepit russia. There's a fun fact for you all! If you go to the wikipedia page - List of U.S. states and territories by GDP - Florida in 2024 was 1.6 trillion and is the 4th largest in the US after Cali, TX and NY, this is how pathetic russia is. 🤡

@@normanboyes4983 This is an argument vatniks always make it's nonsense. when to comes to russia, as if they can buy a gazillion jets and tanks "cheaper". It's BS because they can only make a limited number of "cheaper" jet fighters (25 max) T-90 (100 max) tanks a year, so what are they going to spend the rest of their useless rubles on? They're already paying their soldiers more than a US army soldier makes a year. Inflation is double the figure quoted, so 25%, that's a 1/4 of their "cheaper" spending power gone. russia is a joke and we will beat it down forever🤡

Many doing a huge amount now, but my goodness the delays have been dreadful for Ukraine which fights for every single one of us. Our West leaders have been too frightened of Putin squash the vicious dangerous little bully as flat as a pancake.
