Chuck is a great example of an upstanding human being and what I would like to see all Americans conduct themselves as. Proud to call him a fellow citizen. Wish there were more like him in our country.
What an articulate individual Chuck Pfarrer is. Nothing political, just straight to the point when answering Jason's questions. And no sign of panic directed towards Ukraines current status. This is what you get from a highly ranked military man, but not from politicians. Very refreshing.
Enjoy the post and interview. Mr. Pfarrer is awesome! I find it very disconcerting that so many with his background are online expressing indifference to the Ukrainians or outright hostility to them, ignore History and also repeat the narrative that it is not the place of the US. Mr.Pfarrer is a breath of fresh air where so many former Operators seem to be indifferent or Anti-Ukraine and Anti-Europe.
A LOT of ignorance, indifference, low information people (the low info voters aren't all bad for many nuances) But the orcs use that public against the (pro democracy elements) In the end. GOOD ALWAYS 👍 triumphs over evil 😈 👎 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇦
The best channel with the best analysts i know. Thank you very much Chuck Pfarrer for your exellent and comprehensible analysis for me as an South-Tyrolean (italian citizen with german as mother language
I wouldn't say the Russian troops in Central Africa are totally cut off, but their position has been rendered significantly more insecure. That being said, I appreciate Mr. Pfarrer's eternal optimism.
They watched Ukrainians in 2014 and gave it a good shot themselves in 2020...I photographed both events....until Belarusian Security expelled many of us. Ukraine has been fighting to not become another Belarus since they declared independence from the Soviet Union...and that is exactly what they are fighting for now with their lives. Ukrainians were successful in deposing their Kremlin backed puppet (Yanukovic) because Ukraine has always had much longer robust history of civil disobedience and democracy than Belarus...yes it was deeply corrupt democracy, but a democracy none the less. Belarus has never had this. Putin couldn't get away with putting down the Maidan in 2014 as he was in Minsk in 2020. Mostly because Lukashenko's security apparatus is far more robust and far more linked to the Kremlin. Putin I'm sure was hoping Yanukovic was going to crush the revolt on the Maidan...but Yanukovic was no Lukashenko, so when his flunky fled in the night...he soon invaded and annexed Crimea instead...as a pre-curser to his 2022 full scale invasion.
Russia played a larger role in the October 7th attack on Israel than discussed in this video. I vividly recall the HAMAS go pro footage of them breaching the border. Russian speakers were among the group. It was most likely Wagner or some other Russian mercenary group.
When I see Chuck I click. Thank you 💛 and btw, Chuck is the spitting image of my brother. Very distinguished and extremely knowledgeable. Ty again Sir.
Mr Pfarrer's last comments about morale are spot on. Also, in the armies of yore, regular men were cannon fodder. Nowadays, being cannon fodder doesn't have much appeal. Ultimately, the long arc of the moral universe will catch up with Putin's regime which will fall, as dictatorships and empires do, because their leaders are too power hungry to learn the lessons of history.
I saw videos of the Ruzzian Trenches in Ukraine completely full of Water. Everything they owned was under freezing water. Their bunkers and sleeping gear under water. They were sitting in the snow looking at a trench full of water right to the top. I'd hate to be there.
The first priority for Muscovy is propaganda, propaganda and more propaganda. The rest is all fluff puffiness for, again, propaganda purpose. Naked emperors with paper everything: army, economy, 100yo collapsing infrastructure... everything! Sad failed terrorist state of fake affairs aka so-called "Russia".
For those who have not read Chuck's books - read them! Superbly written and absolutely fascinating and enthralling. Another great discussion, thank you Jason and Chuck.
I was hoping for a little more in Chuck’s 100,000 ft. view regarding the challenges Putin is facing in dealing with Russia’s other supposed allies and how the diminishment of his military is resulting in waning power in his own backyard. Besides the fall of Assad and the legal/political pushback in Georgia, Moldova and Romania, what is the latest on with the failure of Russia in dealing with tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan? Are there any fissures in the other republics that are becoming evident? I got a fever, and the only cure is more Chuck!

As much as I LOATH (being careful for the sensor ING done by MANY platforms) I don't believe trump is going to cut aid. He may lie (as usual) Say he is and then SECRETLY (as a famous marine col did in central America) Too much at stake (globally) to leave Ukraine out to dry. Besides my 2 cents. A bit of comfort who trump has chosen for the envoy to Ukraine (Kellogg) 🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇺🇦
I wish syrians start building their country, make money, live a good life. Don't waste this opportunity by infighting. Let each other live. Get together, create a working economy, start making money, build a future.
With all due respect for this very knowledgeable discourse: it makes me wonder: what percentage of actual truth about these things is able to get through Russia's propaganda filter to Putin, and his people? And would Putin be more inclined to act in desperation, seeing that his losses are mounting up?
@AndyWoohoo666 Slight oversight (he should be president of the USA, but the good quality (integrity isn't a quality many Americans appreciate) smhid 😏 Your correct
@@UpsheetscreekWOapaddle Yeah well I do not know if he should be President but I love Chuck Pfarrer and I would love to see him maybe as SECDEF. None the less Lt - Col is 4 ranks in between ;) Also you're 100% correct, integrity is for sure something that is lacking in America today, truly hope they can find it. It will take a lot to unfuck the mess created today if it even is possible.
@@AndyWoohoo666 SEC of defense???😂😂 I'm lol from the incredible futile hope that trump the (SB) would even know Chuck (besides he prolly wouldn't take the job (regardless of his true patriotism) Alluding to my previous comment about Chuck considering a presidential run was another futility of thought of most US high ranking members considering a presidential run because they are not good at begging for donations for a campaign. I remember trump saying in 2015 saying something like he was going to fund himself. Another of thousands of misinformation, lies, grifting and lack of moral compass. I still hold some hope that he will NOT hold Ukraine out to dry, But I wouldn't bet my wife on it 😂
Even if Ukraine lost the War, they would have won the battle. Russia would fall while Ukraine was occupied, hence they would become a free nation again. Keep fighting Ukraine!
They knew. They are running low on friends, more so on frenemies... growing increasingly isolated. They are next, right after Iran. This too, they know very well.
One of the best military analysts in the world,Chuck knows whats going on with Russia, his knowledge is current to the events unfolding,these are my own personal thoughts,I have always thought that the Russian regime would gradually implode, Ukraine is also gradually destroying Russian assets,the deck of cards is starting to collapse. Slava Ukraine.
Russia stripped their minor players to feed the Ukrainian meatgrinder. Losing even in Kursk province. Now breakaways in Romania, Moldova, Syria, Georgia and the Caucasus. So sad?
I hope you are correct about the russian assets and control being scuttled but doesn't russia have black market lines such as crypto to pay to hang on to their stuff? Jus sayin🤷
I see a lot of similarities via Ukraine/Hamas & the Palestinians. Both r facing a much more powerful opponent who started aggression (Catherine the Great fit Ukraine & the 1948 Nakba for Palestine) who doesn't even think they exist as a people or a state. Both the Ukranians & Palestinians fightt back heroically against all odds, and imo will win the war in the long run. Free Palestine & Slava Ukraini!
My amateur analysis exactly of 7/10 - and why Putin at least suggested, if not actually plotted, the whole thing to 1) harm the West, and 2) torpedo the possible advancing peace plans of local leaders. There ARE only two life-lines possible for this axis. The mass of "Useful Idiots" all over, STILL condemning, not Hamas - using their people as raw cannon fodder to beat the IDF, but those IDF with the option - lose the fight, or disregard inevitable collateral. The other, naturally, the Putin installed GOP/47 train wreck about to inflict vindictive chaos in the White House. That, hopefully, should fall to pieces under its own contradictions (but I was sure of THAT by December 2016!)
Capturing a small hamlet is a significant military achievement. Even a crossroads with a few barns. It's better than nothing and it's worth every one of those 3/4 million Russian soldiers. Wait a minute! It's not is it? Russian TV is crazy. It's pathetic. It's a "brittle enemy" as you put it. Ukraine can now use the famed Russian winter not against Napoleon or Hitler but against Russia itself.
Too bad these excellent episodes are so degraded by sup-par audio. I belief Jason Smart needs to spend some money to do something to improve the audio quality.

Totally agree, love our Navy Seals, they are wicked smart
You like listening to people who lie to you?
Total agreement from me.
Chuck should be part of any Trump administration.
@@Lordnumptynous T doesn't hire qualified people and no way Chuck would support a man who threatens generals wit execution. Some weird kind you have.
How people call discussions about politics non political is just bonkers.
Great conversation fellows. Keep the information coming; it's greatly appreciated.
Chuck is always an excellent guest - more please!
Love listening to these two and this channel!
Me too 😀.
Right!
Always a pleasure to listen to you speak with Chuck Pfarrer Jason! Another fabulous interview.

I wouldn't say the Russian troops in Central Africa are totally cut off, but their position has been rendered significantly more insecure. That being said, I appreciate Mr. Pfarrer's eternal optimism.
What "friends" said troops of so-called "Russia" would you say have in the region?
I wonder if the people of Belarus are watching events in Georgia?
A very good point!! 👍👍😄🙋🏻♂️

Naaa, only state approved propaganda, of course!
Excellent Chuck !

Chechens seem more likely. Wagner were mercenaries, not suicide attackers.
Russia is like a credit card. That is about to expire😅
😂😂😂
It's renewal will not come in the mail. Repent, the end is nigh.
They go quick! That is awesome Chuck! Fantastic!
Awesome work by both, thanks!

I have felt for a long time that a western military coalition ought to be putting troops in. Could you gentlemen discuss the ramifications please?
I was hoping for a little more in Chuck’s 100,000 ft. view regarding the challenges Putin is facing in dealing with Russia’s other supposed allies and how the diminishment of his military is resulting in waning power in his own backyard. Besides the fall of Assad and the legal/political pushback in Georgia, Moldova and Romania, what is the latest on with the failure of Russia in dealing with tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan? Are there any fissures in the other republics that are becoming evident?
I got a fever, and the only cure is more Chuck!
Oversimplified answer: yes.
Very interesting discussion
Great conversation - lovely subject 💯 I 'smell' HOPE 💖

None. Fictions are a core value, trust is a weakness to exploit. So-called "Russia" is a self-immolating crab bucket, and they're all out of butter.
There is a lot of talk in Eastern Europe regarding how Hamas is an arm of Moskovia.
