@@CrockdaddyAoD somehow!!! 😂
It's really wrong how we as allies have done nothing but cause Ukraine who were fighting strong to lose more ground and many lives that did not need to be, our leaders are not leading but playing their own games of chess at the expense of Ukrainian lives. This has to stop, we could have given everything Ukraine needs to win this war, our military know exactly what Ukraine requires and our government must start acting like real allies do and suck it up and start foing the right thing by Ukraine. If they cannot do that then we must call for new leadership. People and their lives matter
Well maybe u shouldn't be a little bit smarrter😂😂😂😂
Well said sir.
Need more Churchill type leaders ,instead we have a lot of indecision and delays…..
Very well said. Our political leaders ( US, UK and others in Europe) have been disgraceful.
@@daydays12 u r a very disgraceful place
No. Get rid of the promotion. Please.
It was done in error your majesty. Jeeeeezz
I am overjoyed that the US has finally passed the bill so that Ukraine can get some of the equipment and supplies needed to fight russia's war against them. I am also angry at the delays. Lives could have been saved if action had been taken more quickly. Thank goodness it is passed though. And, it sounds as though the items will be delivered quickly. 💛💙
Ur still gonna lose
In a few months when Zelenskyy comes crying for HELP again while Trump’s in office, then what? 🤦♂️🤷♂️
Wooop woop aid passed the senate lets GOOOOOO
SEND IT!
Not yet. It should pass with no problem, but it has not passed yet. Don't stop calling your government yet. Keep those calls and letters coming in at least until the final vote. Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
Nothing but bums
@@vonriesnot one dollar for the people tho😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yeah that will help the most corrupt county in the world. Bunch of crooks.
I’ve been very critical of the States since this hold up started, I’m just thankful that it’s now resolved. Let hope there is no hold up again. The democratic world now KNOWS it’s CANNOT stop providing all the support Ukraine needs. Slava Ukraine love from your friends in the UK 🇬🇧
Maybe u should be critical of ur own country and tge fact that ur just a toy the americans like to play with😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe worry about ur own country that has been destroyed because ur americas slave
The US deliberately left it too late. They are treacherous.... turn their back on their democratic ally and encourage Putin to be even more destructive. The vile USA has allowed Putin to be on the brink of a huge breakthrough having already destroyed all the civilian infrastructure in Ukraine with the US's her ( doing nothing). Western capitalists ( including Americans) have been making fortunes from breaking sanctions on Russia.
Getting the us aid package passed finally is great. If understood correctly, most of the equipment will come of the shelfs of US stockpiles. How does the army and Air Force place a value on existing equipment? Can they influence how much Ukraine gets by essentially giving them a bargain or by subtracting (depreciating) from the value of say artillery pieces or ammunition due to age, for example?
Depreciation is a factor, in the past, material was valued at repurchase prices but that was adjusted after a previous support bill.
Especially since it was bought and paid for years ago. Unless Russia’s misinformation campaign and bots are better than advertised, the number of Americans I see commenting on blank checks, $60B going to Ukraine for mansions and yachts, money laundering etc is mind boggling. They’ve even got our own politicians spreading this nonsense. Where are the misinformation police when all this crap permeates the comments sections of MSM posts?
@@darrinvaughan8992 This.. The last aid Ukr received from the US was due to re-examining the value of what had been sent previously. So many think the US is handing cash or brand new equipment to Ukr when what they are mostly doing is clearing out old stock and spending their value on new, generating jobs and supporting their own defence industries in the process. It still costs money but it's more like domestic market support packages than foreign aid all the while supporting a modern, free democracy against a resurgence in the military ambitions of various dictators.
@@dzzopeI thought russia was losing😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@dzzope exactly
Ok so Britain has promised all this equipment my question is when are they going to get it sometime next year
That's wat happens when u out source industry to china😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why does my country ( the UK) only announce some help for Ukraine after the US Congress has voted the Ukraine aid bill? It makes me angry .... the UK stopped helping Ukraine some time ago allowing Russia to be on the point of a major breakthrough... Chasiv Year. I am in tears. I am so shocked that the UK should be behaving as abominably now as it did in 1938./9
As slowly as possible I imagine. It is just PR
There won’t be an Ukraine next year, so who exactly will they be a wind equipment to?
@@davd1986 I don't understand your reply. what is 'a wind equipment'?
thanks all. good useful important vital information. Bless Ukraine and Bless the AFU My heart is breaking for the peaceful people of Ukraine. May Ukraine have all defense systems to protect itself possible May Ukraine retake all its land saint javelin #CrimeaIsUkraine saint Himars #WhatWeAreFightingfor #Ukraine #War #Ctrl_Z
Ur still gonna lose😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
my heart bleeds for Ukraine too...such brave people. The 'West' has been pretty shameless....encouraging Putin...the Russians, thank to the US and others' treachery are on the brink of a major break through. Mikey Johnson is up there with Putin as being one of the worst "people" on the planet.
They got played
Greece and Spain must do their bit. They are slackers okay
okay
Love the pod... but I gotta say Dom could win the lottery and he'd complain about the taxes. 😂
Lol😂
no taxes on gambling in the UK...
@@sebastianforbes1 ./..which supports Josarian's point even more.😉
Agree, timing is not the best! Also, % of GDP is not even top ten. UK is no longer the leader…it was w/ storm shadow and tanks, but it’s lost its way. Afraid to mention this to not sound un-PC, but your prime minister and his wife and her family are friends of the current Indian prime minister who is an avid supporter of Russia…particularly in what he buys from and sends to Russia.
The current PM of the UK is answerable to Parliament and ultimately to the UK electorate. The UK also has an independent free investigative Press that will unravel connections between 'friends'. Take your conspirancy theory elsewhere because it has no resonance here ted
@@philipmain5701I agree, I don't think there's any connection. I do think it's strange why one would feel enticed to make friends with protofascist "Hindutva" hindu nationalists. India is throwing out NGOs like Amnesty International because Modi and his gang don't like criticism for example of their anti conversion laws that basically abolish freedom of religion in those 8 large states. There's also systematic toleration by police and authorities of violent mob attacks against Christian schools and hospitals. Since the BJP came to power, India has moved in the annual OpenDoors persecution index from an unremarkable 27th place to last year making it into the Top 10 for the first time, being rated a worse place for Christians to live than Saudi Arabia.
Also India isn't an avid supporter of Russia, they are using them for their own benefit with cheap oil etc. Not ideal from a pro Ukr pov but it's not China/North Korea/Iran either.
Ok comrade .
Sunak has no idea and has no empathy.
thanks for the ad
Russian bots in comments go away lmao
NATO bots in comments go away lmao😛
Don't interrupt those in denial
Come on guy's Lithuania has donated its whole airforce. The fact they don't have a aitforce is neither here nor there ?
Wait, we have, like, 2 helicopters. I’ve seen the both. And a transport plane. I think.
Might be a mistake? I seem to remember Latvia gave Ukraine all their helicopters. Perhaps they meant that? I work in Baltic Studies and hear people confuse these two countries all the time.

The audio was terrible....sounded like it had been recorded in a public loo.
Appropriately so.
Because most people will have an office for taking calls like this rather than a studio with suppression of audio reflections and a consumer mic vs a studio with pro equipment and processing etc.
The US and NATO need to step things up a bit and find ways to speed up the process. As soon as one package gets approved, they should be working on the next one. !!
There are more than 30 European countries that are next to Ukraine. Y’all need to step up, not everything is Americas fault lmfao
If the Democrats want to ensure they lose the executive and lose ground in the House, sure, start working on a "next one". lol. This one is already not popular with normal people, so if anyone pulls this again without there being a REAL threat to NATO, it'll be seeing approval ratings lower than income taxes
@@antilarge7860 All the NATO countries need to make contributions. The US probably has the best selection of weapons available but cash can ork too to buy .some weapons. The political nonsense going on in the US is outrageous but all the other countries have their own political issues that they need to work through quickly!! It has improved in the last several months but all te neighboring countries have the most to lose! I believe that Ukraine's wish list is pretty well known so everyone needs to look at what they can potentially contribute and determine what it takes to make it happen. I find it interesting that the newest NATO countries have stepped up right away. Ukraine does an amazing job taking old kit and making it very useful. Everybody needs to look at the threat that Russia poses and look at upgrading their own defenses and look at what they can spare in the process of upgrading. The main thing is that the subject is something that should always be on their agenda all the time. I think the politics is easier when they look at upgrading their own defense and offering anything being replaced or upgraded, available immediately to Ukraine. My point is to be constantly thinking ahead and not just holding back and then reacting to Ukraine;s desperation. The war has been going on for sometime and everyone should know that what is happening in Ukraine is just a precursor to what may threaten their own borders very soon.
@@antilarge7860 The US promises and doesn't deliver. It is a turncoat nation. Turns its back on allies. I no longer believe a word they say...sleazy and corrupt
Russia is beating the US and its proxies in Ukraine. That’s 30 countries. LOL
Well done, Britain!
New Zealand..
Keep out of it
Thanks. Glory to Ukraine. God Bless Ukraine and her people. 🇺🇦🇺🇸
So pootin is struggling against a weaker Ukraine so how would he be strong enough to take on Europe and Nato?
Paper tiger. Putin has exposed accidentally how weak Russia is with the exception of how many bodies they can sacrifice
If he’s struggling, why are the US and its NATO poodles sending tens of billions still? Why is France planning on sending troops to Odessa? According to Colonel Douglas MacGregor, 600,000 Ukrainians have died. How many thousands more is enough for the US and its pathetic European poodles?
2:00 Start
What the hell is that awful ad at the start Telegraph?? We got enough adds as it is ffs
❤❤❤❤❤ 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 🇺🇦 ❤❤❤❤
I need the details on the misunderstandings of the bill. It seems so important to understand with the MAGA people…where can I go to get the details?
As Zelinsky said they are giving their best sons and daughters to protect us. Good for them but I would not do it if the roles were reversed. We have foxes in our area and the understanding is that we leave each other alone. We might want to do that by not seeking to export our values.
2:30 I got that talking about geopolitics is much easier than reporting stories of killed Ukrainians, but please, don't make it sound like a score, especially giving it 2 minutes in an hour episode. Maybe it is better not to tell this at all when this does sound like sports news. I don't know.
A great way to boost the economy All hands on turn all economic activity to war effort for ukr
29:10 as a person who came of age politically during the war in Afghanistan, it's just mind-boggling to me to listen to liberals simp for the military industrial complex like this. I'll never understand it.

I love this channel! It is always good for a laugh.😄
Most of it will end up compensating Tory party donors that have lost their investments in Ukraine.
Cynical, yes. True?? probably
I really don't like this bureaucratic American talking about all that the USA hasn't done for Ukraine for at least six months The US wants Ukraine to lose slowly and with the maximum of suffering for the Ukrainian people. How else can they excuse abandoning Ukraine for six or seven months. This slowness is deliberate to help Putin
The only thing I'm happy my taxes are going towards right now.
😂😂😂
Thanks for an excellent report, Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Amenia is looking to the Nato for protection...a big opportunity hahaha. They swaped horses mid stream ?
Armenia got clobbered by Azerbaijan and the Russians didn't honor their collective defense commitments under the CSTO. Russia basically dismantled its own NATO lite with that.
Nato will let them down as usual.

😂😂😂 Ukraine got about 2 weeks worth of time while the US m i c get the book squared😂😂😂 all the major newspapers here in the states are saying that the Ukraine needs more money after the 61 billion😂😂😂😂 and this is why there's signs of parts of the front collapsing for the ukraine😂😂😂
Yes. It is SO sad.
It’s sad that the US and its poodles have forced Ukraine to war
I don't remember giving this rabble in parliament the go ahead to give our money away. Money should be used in this country.
Bot
It is harder for the politicians to skim their cut if money is spent in Britain. But ukraine is another story as we have seen.
Nothing says bot more clearly than "user"...
I'm so sick of this clueless narrative of tax paying money being wasted or thrown away, it's so ignorant...
It's called a money laundering exercise
Slava ukraini
Slaves of the US
I think Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania should consider Ukraine as their front line. Why sit and wait for the inevitable.
So u guys r getting this equipment next year?😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I presume the real reason for the slow assistance to Ukraine is the real fear on the part of EU countries in expecting the war to spread and therefore reserving as much weaponry as they can for each individual countries self defense . Ukraine us being used as a front line observation post and testing ground of Russian capabilities , strengths and weaknesses and the old nuclear sensitivity boundary.
Ukraine is a theatre of operations
Yet another day when 1,000+ UA troops were added to the demilitarised and denazified scoreboard! That equipment from the UK will end up on the scoreboard too! Russian Defence Ministry report on the progress of the special military operation (23 April 2024) The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation continue the special military operation. The Zapad Group of Forces' units seized more advantageous lines and inflicted fire damage on the 63rd Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) near Chervonaya Dibrova (Lugansk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to up to 20 Ukrainian troops, two motor vehicles, one 152-mm Msta-B howitzer, and one 152-mm D-20 howitzer. The Yug Group of Forces units improved the tactical position along the front line as a result of active actions and inflicted losses on manpower and hardware of the AFU 79th Air Assault and 46th Airmobile brigades near Konstantinovka, Paraskoviyevka, and Ostroye (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to up to 500 Ukrainian troops, three tanks, an infantry fighting vehicle, five motor vehicles, one 152-mm Msta-B howitzer, one 122-mm D-30 howitzer, as well as three field ammunition depots.

The Vostok Group of Forces' units captured more advantageous lines and defeated the 59th Motorised Infantry, 72nd Mechanised Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the 128th Territorial Defence Brigades close to Staromayorskoye, Vodyanoye, and Urozhaynoye (Donetsk People's Republic). The AFU losses amounted to up to 95 Ukrainian troops, three motor vehicles, one 155-mm French-made CAESAR self-propelled artillery system, as well as one Nota electronic warfare station. The units of the Dnepr Group of Forces have inflicted fire damage on manpower and hardware of the 65th Mechanised Brigade of the AFU, 121st and 126th territorial defence brigades close to Rabotino (Zaporozhye region), Berislav and Zolotaya Balka (Kherson region). The enemy lost up to 70 Ukrainian troops, one armoured personnel carrier and two pick-up trucks, one U.S.-made 155-mm M777 howitzer, two 122-mm D-30 howitzers, and one 122-mm Gvozdika self-propelled artillery system. Operational-Tactical Aviation, Missile Troops and Artillery of the Russian Groups of Forces have obliterated one U.S.-made MIM23 HAWK anti-aircraft missile launcher and hit a drone depot of the 113th Territorial Defence Brigade, AFU manpower and hardware in 115 areas. Air defence systems shot down 104 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles, one Tochka-U tactical missile, six U.S.-made HIMARS and Olkha missiles, as well as four French-made Hammer guided air-to-surface bombs during the day.
