I would rather watch Ryan smoke and spit truth than listen to other people blow smoke and put out misinformation. It's not good for Ryan's health but he enjoys it and my mental health is deeply grateful.
All Ryan is doing is parroting the state department talking points. If you're seriously believing that what the state department is releasing to the American people is the truth and not just how they want us to see it, you're a fool
That's some serious military humor from Ryan. " Eh, drop a bomb on it. What are they going to do, hate us more?" 😂 I don't know why that's so funny but it's dark as hell.
Tbh I have a strong feeling it's the exact opposite for Israel. There is only one success metric in that war, it's obvious it's been the main pursuit of Hamas since they started it - erosion of patience for Israel hitting civilians, locally and globally. I imagine eh could be their most natural baseline, but I imagine in this one Israel will know to be quite careful with PR management.
@@gorkyd7912then let me explain via common sense and common knowledge why arming Ukraine is in EVERYONE'S best interest: France, Poland, and Estonia are threatening to ESCALATE the war by sending BOOTS ON THE GROUND, but ONLY if Ukraine is LOSING. When multiple nuclear capable European nations are at war with each other, EVERYONE suffers. In contrast, sending arms to Ukraine and giving them the upper advantage CONTAINS the war to just Ukraine and small attacks in Russia. Do you understand?
@@WarPigstheHun Your appeal to common sense is noted but what we're doing is weak; we're letting Ukraine get massacred and we're offering just enough resistance to make it costly to Russia without being too costly that they stop the aggression. So Ukraine is getting decimated, all their men are sacrificed. Russia forges new alliances with enemies of the West as it grows increasingly desperate, China is getting emboldened by our weakness, Iran is emboldened, new fronts of the war are opening everywhere and soon you should expect a global war of survival which probably will escalate into nuclear confrontation. They look at the US and the EU and see countries that are deeply in debt, can barely afford interest payments plus obligation. The see unrest and upheaval everywhere, division over basic crap like gender let alone race and religion. Meanwhile Russia, China, Iran, the "global south" are all highly motivated, indoctrinated, deeply patriotic populations with an axe to grind against the west. YOU think we're grinding down Russia in Ukraine. THEY know that we can barely afford our own governments yet alone another 20-year quagmire. THEY know we can't recruit anyone to the military because our populations are demoralized and with rampant immigration from around the world soon we'll have more enemies within than soldiers. So the absolute worst idea is to drag on this conflict instead of dealing decisive blows WITH an easy-out for Russia that doesn't leave egg on their face.
Ryan McBeth is really awesome. I was born in Moldova and he knows what he's talking about and does it so in a very casual way. Great informative video!
He sometimes go political and he leans left. He has an army background and under trump there were no new wars and under biden we are on the brink of ww3. So i can see why he often is pro biden.
Somewhat informative but pretty delusional @ the same time : 12:50 take Poland - you really think that is the plan? And what biggest NATO Ramstein Air Base will just be sitting there looking pretty rather than wrecking Russians @ the polish border? This is delusional talk. Let me remind you that nuclear bombers from Ramstein and from as far as UK are flying over Poland for over a year officially at least.
Israeli here. It seems to me that a lot of military analysts are missing out on Israeli domestic politics when discussing IDF's goals and reasons. Yes, military considerations are VERY important and MOST people, who don't understand military at all, miss out on military considerations. Which is exactly why we NEED people like Ryan explaining to everyone. But it's also a mistake to do the opposite, to completely ignore the political reasons. To miss what kind of person Benjamin Netaniyahu is. How his family behaves. Who are the other ministers on his government. What were their biggest struggles BEFORE the war. And what their POLITICAL goals in the near future. Do you know what I mean? Because ultimately, the job of the military is to just blindly follow the goals the "commander in chief" had set them. Is it not?
Ideally the military is supposed to deny illegal orders but that's a problem pointing to Israel's laws and its militaries laws and the training of its troops. Conscripts are poorly trained soldiers at best. They can be relied upon to make mistakes in the absence of a training and leadership.
That's a very good point. As a naive europeen what is sort of the "abridged version" of who Benjamin Netaniyahu is? Now obviously there is plenty of information on the net and I am working on learning more but it always interresting to hear perspectives from Israel as in media its very much Palestine dominated.
@@conman413When they started quoting Scripture about genociding people, there's more than lack of training. Lack of training explains it getting to Tik Tok, not the evil behind the chant. Look up the clip presented in the South African case with the ICJ.
I want to reinforce what Ryan said about "reading everything." The more you learn--from factual sources--about a broad array of things, the better of a sense you get for "does this make sense?" Because what you're reading/seeing might have plausible details militarily or politically... but not quite add up socially, or in some other basic aspect. So, it's important to learn about things outside your lane.
Yup. But things like Israel-Gaza will have too many rigorous seeming sources that are actually way too skewed. Going through archives yourself is infeasible. So you sort of have to at least burn through the 2 skewed high-detail sources and ideally find a minimally biased, detailed perspective from there.

The Sgt. York worked. But it had two problems. It was placed on the old tank chasis and was slower than the Abrams. Then, the USSR came out with a longer range missile for their attack helicopters that rendered the York obsolete before it hit the field. When Geraldo did his expose on it, he failed to report the truth. The misses where programmed into the fire control to save money on drones and other targets. The tracking radar had enough resolution to tell the system how far it missed it's target, thus being a hit if missed by programmed parameters. Geraldo did America no favors that day, shameful.

I don't agree that the phones aren't listening. I've had this happen a few times: I have been hanging out, and then a few French speakers show up, and we hang out and spek French for a few hours, have some beers. I don't use the phone or type anything, and even if I were to google something, I google stuff in English, not in my third language, haha, so there is no input on my part in French except the phone is on and sitting on the table. Later that night or the next day, I start getting ads in French on the phone/computer. No one has access to my accounts, and the wife and kids don't speak French anyway. So, with the only French input being my friends and I talking, how else would the powers that be decide to start serving me ads in French?
You were in the same place as people speaking french. It showed you were in the same location as them. They might have googled something or google just assumed that because you were in the same place that you might enjoy similar things. Its really that easy.
@@macpalin4099 So google ain't worth a shid because other people can influence your PERSONAL account? Advertising really getting scammed buying contaminated data.

I think having the necessary infrastructure, skilled labor force and access to capital are the barriers to entry in trying to be the next defense contractor.
@@finnancahill2644 Regulatory burdens fall disproportionately on smaller contractors. For instance, if a contractor must hire a law firm to help comply with a regulation the cost is essentially the same whether the contractor is big or small. (In the real world, the large contractor has an internal legal department, so the cost is arguably zero, but lets assume they both retained an outside firm.) Thus, the cost necessarily burdens the smaller firm more as a percentage of their sales. The very large contractors want smaller firms to have larger relative costs as this creates barriers to entry.
I don’t see why people think they have so much influence. They’re large - but they’re tiny compared to healthcare spending, agriculture and related subsidies, any number of special interests. Also yes - it’s an industry with large concentrated players by nature (is are healthcare, utilities - most industries with some combo of high capex and high regulation / consistency requirements. ) There is also an ecosystem of startups and smaller players - they just wind up being subcontractors or being purchased by the internal VC arms of the big guys (so small guys are still competing and making some money).

You beat me to it. Literally his first point is easily disproven. We don't tolerate build ups on our border, but Russia has to allow it. The hilarious hypocrisy
@@geneeverett33 Placing US nukes in Ukraine has never been under consideration. Ironically, Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal at the fall of the Soviet Union. They agreed to disarm them (gave to Russia), and I will quote this, _in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders._ About having nukes in Cuba. Russia already has nuclear weapons stationed in Kaliningrad, Murmansk and Belarus. Those border NATO countries without nuclear weapons and who currently do not have foreign nukes in their territory. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Norway. Lastly, the US and other Western nuclear powers, haven't been threatening to nuke Russia. Russia is the only country threatening to use nukes against the West.
@@Raphael11001 Sure, we Canadians are in NATO and don't have nukes. Wtf do you think would happen if 'harmless' Canada joined a military alliance with Russia? Or China? (You can't really be THAT naïve mate.)
@@JohnPartyka I think I understand the point you're trying to make, but your hypothetical example makes no sense. It's like saying "what do you think would happen if North Korea and Iran joined NATO"? Is the US threatening to invade Canada? Because that is what Russia is doing to its neighbors. They invaded and took a chunk of Georgia in 2008. Invaded and took Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. They invaded Ukraine again in 2022 and are occupying the East and South of the country. How would you feel if the US invaded and annexed Toronto? Would you be ok with it if the US said it was for safety reasons? It sits at striking range of NYC and DC. Also let's not forget that Russia's territory is 85% the size of the US and Canada combined. And some Russians like the idea of "taking back Аляска (Alaska)".
I feel Bryan's exhaustion at trying to discern truth in the current media landscape. I so desperately want to find smart people to listen to without feeling like I am (or they are) being taken for a ride. Ryan seems like a good person to listen to.
Remember when we had a full airbase of supplies, ground vehicles, advanced aircraft and we just left it to the taliban wasted 20 years and the lives of thousands of Americans to give it all up
Ryan, your comparison of Israeli and US NCD policy is off. The US has not fought any of its recent wars with a neghibour on its border and US cities were not threatened by thousands of rockets.
But it isn't a "neighbour" in the sense that its a hostile state, it's an occupied (and yes, even before the 7th the UNSC ratified Gaza as occupied due to Israeli water and airspace control) territory which is subject to regular military operations by a larger power who does it with impunity.
@@RANDO4743 so what lmao. Nobody outside of a small group of religious fundamentalists seriously believes that an ethnic groups has dibs on land because they were there 1000 years ago. Occupation is occupation. When IDF troops go to the west bank they are literally put on "occupation duty" lol
Ryan is great and that is partly because he works hard and is smart. He is not ignorant of the danger of cigars and eating bread but makes knowledgeable choices out of understanding and not denial or ignorance.
No one on UA-cam better represents my feelings on Ukraine/Israel than Ryan. I’m so glad I found him. I wish more people knew about him he’s so good at articulating and breaking down the things I feel so strongly about with regard to these conflicts

BRYAN CALLEN i have missed you so much thank god i found your podcast ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Regarding traffic cams - in some places like Germany pictures taken always have passenger seat blacked out - in order to prevent disclosing people doing affairs. So that the pictures are to the point - speed tickets
This is the first I ever hard of this. Here in the UK they are taken from behind so this wasn't a problem I suppose. I found this well funny.
Thank you for your service. Plus your continued service to our country. Plus the freedom to the world.
Boosted because Bryan is awesomen and Ryan is amazing :D
1:16:50 I like what Bryan is saying here about why he appreciates how McBeth communicates his information.
I don't agree that the phones aren't listening. I've had this happen a few times: I have been hanging out, and then a few French speakers show up, and we hang out and spek French for a few hours, have some beers. I don't use the phone or type anything, and even if I were to google something, I google stuff in English, not in my third language, haha, so there is no input on my part in French except the phone is on and sitting on the table.
Later that night or the next day, I start getting ads in French on the phone/computer. No one has access to my accounts, and the wife and kids don't speak French anyway. So, with the only French input being my friends and I talking, how else would the powers that be decide to start serving me ads in French?
Sue them , fraud theft invasion of privacy. , don't accept ' shoddy'
Yes the phones are listening.
You were in the same place as people speaking french. It showed you were in the same location as them. They might have googled something or google just assumed that because you were in the same place that you might enjoy similar things. Its really that easy.
@@macpalin4099 So google ain't worth a shid because other people can influence your PERSONAL account? Advertising really getting scammed buying contaminated data.
French using phones were in your location, maybe used your wifi, and shared messages with you to arrange the meeting. Plus, maybe not in French but you Google stuff that are in the sphere of influence of French speakers. Think Googling bidet more often than Mcdonald's.
Ryan is a blessing..
Love your show , you are thinning out on top your head , I think you make a perfect Mr Potato Head
Great interview.
Let’s go! Great Pod!
Great podcast. Very much appreciated.
GREAT EPISODE 👍🏻🇺🇸
59:59 haha! I love this description of the history of warfare 😂
I'm old. Got trained back when the Army had M60A3s.
He's a great guest. Well worth the time to watch.

I actually liked that one.
Was not expecting this! I hope you can do more podcasts with Intel Analysts :))
Great pod fellas
This is a fascinating discussion, I want to watch more of his talking, he's very intelligent.
The dudes advocating at around 1 hour in killing foreigners that "spread misinformation" this guy is a nut job!
100% our phones are listening to us. My wife and I were talking about mortgage refinancing and within 10 minutes a UA-cam ad popped up in TV with mortgage refinancing and we’ve never seen that add again
This guy is completely 100% ignorant and that’s why he has 3 jobs….he didn’t see is wrong? Com on , they brainwashed him good.
Invasion of privacy..get mad ,stay mad , sue them into the stone age...don't accept ' shoddy'
Yes, Ryan is wrong with that.
@@TomG-f4r you don’t realize you are giving permission for these companies to listen to your speech and read your text. Very few people read through an app’s agreement. Some app heard me and sold that data to google who ran a mortgage refinancing ad and billed the mortgage company. That’s the social media business model.
i agree. everyone has had experiences like this. just impossible it's not listening.
You’re the best Bryan
What I love most about Bryan is his consistent upload schedule.
The Sound of Music and Lt. Gen. Puller. Quite a library.
Uncle Callen and Uncle McBeth in one show :D
Dumb and dumber
Thank you so much for this. Subscribed!
Bryan, you bring the best content on youtube! keep it up. Excellent interviewer
This was and an amazing video. Ryan McBeth is one of my favorite UA-camrs.
Ryan is a legend, really top analyst. Happy you had him on board
The guy is advocating killing foreigners at around 1 hour in for "spreading misinformation", and than thinks we need a no fly zone over Ukraine, putting US forces in direct conflict with Russia (something American politicians have specifically NOT done during the entire cold war), he's a fucking nut job!
I knew dudes like this when I was doing my degree in IT. They're good with tech, but are morons when it comes to anything else, and this guy shows it.
We the people appreciate you Bryan for using your platform to make us laugh and to keep us informed ❤

This is a weird mixing of worlds I’m into
Truth ❤
It’s crazy to see Callen talking to Macbeth what a crossover
Ryan is definitely an mind opener...outstanding podcast!
Great to hear intelligent people talking sense.
The massive bureaucracy is easily navigable by the huge defense contractors. In fact, the love it because it creates a barrier to entry.
I think having the necessary infrastructure, skilled labor force and access to capital are the barriers to entry in trying to be the next defense contractor.
@@seanmcgrath5686 you've never had to advise clients with regard to the CFRs.
What are you basing these claims on?
@@finnancahill2644 Regulatory burdens fall disproportionately on smaller contractors. For instance, if a contractor must hire a law firm to help comply with a regulation the cost is essentially the same whether the contractor is big or small. (In the real world, the large contractor has an internal legal department, so the cost is arguably zero, but lets assume they both retained an outside firm.) Thus, the cost necessarily burdens the smaller firm more as a percentage of their sales. The very large contractors want smaller firms to have larger relative costs as this creates barriers to entry.
I don’t see why people think they have so much influence. They’re large - but they’re tiny compared to healthcare spending, agriculture and related subsidies, any number of special interests.
Also yes - it’s an industry with large concentrated players by nature (is are healthcare, utilities - most industries with some combo of high capex and high regulation / consistency requirements. ) There is also an ecosystem of startups and smaller players - they just wind up being subcontractors or being purchased by the internal VC arms of the big guys (so small guys are still competing and making some money).
Came to UA-cam to watch the same Bryan Callen Chris Delia videos I’ve seen multiple times, ended up learning some shit
"NATO could take out the entire Russian army in a long weekend."
The greatest cause of every war has to be the "home by Christmas" myth.
Iraq's airforce disappeared in weeks when its plane count rivaled great powers, but occupation took years til the Iran influenced legislature told them no immunity for war crimes.
Like Kiev in 3 days?
Ryan needs to make a return soon, I really enjoyed this conversation
Love Ryan's point about MIC & the biggest defense contractor's (LM) profit being orders of magnitude below modern technology companies.
Informative
Ry! Ry! He's our guy!
Lol so gey
"y" is a "u" in Cyrillic, means you just wrote the acronym for Russia. :)
I do love Ryan McBeth, an amazing man.
Thanks, Bryan, great interview!
When you ask good open questions, don't close them but turning them into some list of options. But good interview overall I have to say. Nice job!
Is it OK for Cuba, as an independent country, to host Russian or Chinese rockets?
You beat me to it. Literally his first point is easily disproven. We don't tolerate build ups on our border, but Russia has to allow it. The hilarious hypocrisy
Of course not. But but NATO putting them in Ukraine is different man 🤪🤪🤪🤪
It’s amazing the level of hypocrisy here
@@geneeverett33 Placing US nukes in Ukraine has never been under consideration. Ironically, Ukraine had the 3rd largest nuclear arsenal at the fall of the Soviet Union. They agreed to disarm them (gave to Russia), and I will quote this, _in exchange for assurances from Russia, the United States and United Kingdom to respect the Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders._
About having nukes in Cuba. Russia already has nuclear weapons stationed in Kaliningrad, Murmansk and Belarus. Those border NATO countries without nuclear weapons and who currently do not have foreign nukes in their territory. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Finland and Norway.
Lastly, the US and other Western nuclear powers, haven't been threatening to nuke Russia. Russia is the only country threatening to use nukes against the West.
@@Raphael11001 Sure, we Canadians are in NATO and don't have nukes. Wtf do you think would happen if 'harmless' Canada joined a military alliance with Russia? Or China? (You can't really be THAT naïve mate.)
@@JohnPartyka I think I understand the point you're trying to make, but your hypothetical example makes no sense. It's like saying "what do you think would happen if North Korea and Iran joined NATO"?
Is the US threatening to invade Canada? Because that is what Russia is doing to its neighbors. They invaded and took a chunk of Georgia in 2008. Invaded and took Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. They invaded Ukraine again in 2022 and are occupying the East and South of the country.
How would you feel if the US invaded and annexed Toronto? Would you be ok with it if the US said it was for safety reasons? It sits at striking range of NYC and DC.
Also let's not forget that Russia's territory is 85% the size of the US and Canada combined. And some Russians like the idea of "taking back Аляска (Alaska)".
I feel Bryan's exhaustion at trying to discern truth in the current media landscape. I so desperately want to find smart people to listen to without feeling like I am (or they are) being taken for a ride. Ryan seems like a good person to listen to.
Remember when we had a full airbase of supplies, ground vehicles, advanced aircraft and we just left it to the taliban wasted 20 years and the lives of thousands of Americans to give it all up
bro the crossovers on YT get better and better ^^
Ryan, your comparison of Israeli and US NCD policy is off. The US has not fought any of its recent wars with a neghibour on its border and US cities were not threatened by thousands of rockets.
But it isn't a "neighbour" in the sense that its a hostile state, it's an occupied (and yes, even before the 7th the UNSC ratified Gaza as occupied due to Israeli water and airspace control) territory which is subject to regular military operations by a larger power who does it with impunity.
USA NCO's are not a monolith. Many have come here from war torn area's around the world.
@ravenmusic6392 "occupied" as if jews are not native to the land? Jews which git their name from Judea,or was judah a kingdom in Europe?
@@RANDO4743 so what lmao. Nobody outside of a small group of religious fundamentalists seriously believes that an ethnic groups has dibs on land because they were there 1000 years ago. Occupation is occupation. When IDF troops go to the west bank they are literally put on "occupation duty" lol
@@ravenmusic6392 water control???????? where is gaza going to get water from???????????
Bryan thanks for having Ryan on. Please consider Gen. Ben Hodges or Gen Philip Breedlove to talk about Ukraine.
Ryan is great and that is partly because he works hard and is smart. He is not ignorant of the danger of cigars and eating bread but makes knowledgeable choices out of understanding and not denial or ignorance.
say as we preach not as we do,
The dangers of eating bread😂

good, never forget voting for Hamas in 2006. losers
No one on UA-cam better represents my feelings on Ukraine/Israel than Ryan. I’m so glad I found him. I wish more people knew about him he’s so good at articulating and breaking down the things I feel so strongly about with regard to these conflicts
Crazy how yall have no problem coming out and saying you support the people of 4 different countries being killed on an industrial scale
'NATO should have put up a "no-fly zone."'
This man is a lunatic.
I agree. NATO is going to shoot down Russian planes in a non NATO nation? This idiot wants ww3
Big fan of this podcast. Major respect to Bryan for being such a great interviewer and for giving a platform to qualified analysts. Put in a word to Joe and maybe we'll get Ryan on to combat the Russian disinformation that's RAMPANT with some of his previous guests!
How is Ryan an intelligence expert coming from a grunt/mechanized platoon??? Don't get it?
Perspective on line unit (squad to batallion) operations, very much so. But beyond that.....
He's a brain
Whats app and Signal are both very good. I say that as someone in the IC who uses both for various reasons.
Trying to predict the future by claiming Russia will invade Poland is either propaganda or ridiculous hubris.
They have done so multiple times and openly say they want to do it again.
@@Alex.KalashnikPoland has an incredible army now. They’ve never been this strong. As well as Estonia Latvia Lithuania Finland. All these states now have the same technology and weaponry as Russia does. That’s never been the case before. Russia has manpower and Nuclear weapons. Thats the only advantage. Russia knows now everyone is on equal footing for the most part and these states will band together and fight. This isn’t the Middle Ages anymore you can’t just conquer lands like you used too.
As shown in Ukraine Russia doesn't care about superior weapons or how much they lose they will throw meat at the problem until they have none left they've done it many times before and are doing it now
@@Alex.Kalashnikand what nation have invaded Russia in the 1900's
Germany: 3
USA: 1
UK: 1
Seems like your logic confirms that Germany will invade. Oh and Germany invaded Poland two times as well. So that's on the menu as well.
Good content 👍
16:00 So the US imposes a no fly zone. What happens when US planes start falling out of the sky? The US cannot and should not try to impose a no fly zone anywhere the Russian air force is active.
Why would US planes fall out of the sky? Did it get sanctioned by the US?
