Jon, you're truly a phenomenal interviewer. I love how you just let the people talk and let them decide the direction of the conversation. It shows true interest in the person and their story. It goes without saying I applause this man's bravery and I will watch the complete episode with great interest.
For those interested in more testimony of the war in Ukraine, there’s a really great interview of the same Canadian teammate Wali refers to here. He talks about the trench incident as well as other unbelievable situations that they were in. The video is titled: “Canadian fighting in Ukraine describes the hell he witnessed”
man thesee twoo guys are very good stoory tellers, so satisfying hearing both sides of the story. wally and this canadian dude musst developed a good friendship.
Jon is top 3 interviewer on this platform. he takes his time to listen to the guest and he always lets them finish there sentences without cutting them off like most other interviewers on here. great job man this was a very interesting interview considering that modern warfare 2 the video game just dropped so this gives us the inside on the REAL modern warfare.
Yo, I didn't know you had a channel, you are literally one of my favorite actors, The Walking Dead, Fury, Punisher, severely underrated, I subscribed instantly.
Wali is following in Canadian Forces tradition by living up to the morals and values of our greatest hero - Leo Major. A fellow Québécois, and the gold standard for a soldier
problem that in our country when this situation has happened, were mobilized like a huge amount of people, and a lot of them were not trained like our soliders are trained right now. One thing when you look on guys who were trained and recruited before 24 of February with combat experience, second when you look on newbies who are not trained, who can be not smart, who can be reckless. So i think now situation has changed. Bakhmut is really good example of it. Right now russians mobilized a lot of unexperienced "mobics". Their casualties count like 500 a day, when it was maybe 100-200 three month ago. Because they out of soliders, their regular army ended, their claws are blunted. I just do not want that ukrainian soliders image was ruined by such separate stories, we really need support right now. Peace! 💛💙
@@ferretcorps2426 so you think the Russians have an incompetent military...I could point to factors that say other wise. Your take on Bakhmut is interesting as the Ukrainian leadership have even come out to say it's not going well for them. How many are dying on either side is hard to say but seems like heavy fighting from either side...and people are dying that is a sad fact.
@@treeguy7490 They try to capture Bakhmut, a small town with an area of 41 km² for 5 months. Given that the russians fight with scorched earth tactic when they destroy a city so that the Ukrainian soldiers cannot physically fortify themselves and often they capture completely destroyed cities (like Mariupol). If you google, you can find pictures of fields in the Bakhmut area, littered with russian soliders corpses, who were mobilized recently, who still cannot and do not know how to fight, and the corpses of prisoners who were recruited by the Wagner PMC. Their regular army is almost destroyed, most of those who remain are paratroopers who retreated from Kherson. When the Russians enter the Bakhmut city, they are constantly knocked out in a day or two. Our big problem is not even to repel these attacks, but because our resources are very limited. We cannot drive them away because we do not have enough of machinery. But they cannot capture Bakhmut either. I read the channel of one solider who runs drones in Bakhmut: most of the battles take place on the fields, when the Russians run to the dugouts, like in the first world war. Or skirmishes in the forests, which are littered with both the corpses of Russians and Ukrainians, because the battles there are the most intense. My friend's father returned from under Bakhmut with a wound. He told that we also have a lot of losses, but they are not comparable with the russians. They grind their teeth on Bakhmut. But Ukraine cannot alone fight with russia with such a small amount of weapons, and the supply of it to us has been reduced and west allies do not give us an offensive weaponary, like tanks. We can't counter attack in such conditions. Ukrainians have already called Bakhmut "the fortess". Ours soliders, without normal food supplies to combat positions, weapons and outnumbered. It is true that the situation in the region is difficult and our military leadership already confirms the complexity of the situation, thereby asking for help, but the Russian army is not competent. It just doesn't end. Our military leadership reports that the Russians lost about 33 thousand soldiers in 2 months, the largest amount in such a period. This is not counting the Wagner PMCs and the DNR forces, while they lost Kherson and Bakhmut is still standing, not a single large city has been captured.
@@ferretcorps2426 I appreciate you reply. I had started a reply and I accidently clicked out of the comment box...in turn deleting my reply. I don't have the time right now to rewrite it. Again I appreciate you perspective.
@@ferretcorps2426 One of my biggest disagreements is with your notion of scorched earth policy being the only way(you implied) the Russians are conducting this conflict. I think your out to lunch and makes any of your other points weak. Just because you can google pictures doesn't prove anything especially with the propaganda machine hard at work on both sides. If I want I can find a picture to show whatever will support my view of the conflict. Mariupol is not flattened as I have seen recent video footage(I still take that with a grain of salt of what the situation is like there now). So I don't agree again with the notion that Russia is deploying scorched earth policy. You say that Russia is grinding it's teeth in Bakhmut...I would consider the overwhelming missile attacks and artillery forces say other wise. Seems like you think that the metric by which Russia is successful in their deployment is territory gained...this is where I views of the military action policy differs. If Russia was to push deeper in Ukraine to soon would create a logistical nightmare. As the battle lines currently stand and the methods that they have deployed in the most recent months since a consolidation of the military leadership have proven effective. Russia having a way greater artillery force and air force are utilizing those strengths effectively against Ukraine...frankly Ukraine is being sent back to the stone age from the loans taken from the west and the electrical grid constantly being dismantled. I am surprised with the restraint that Russia has had in just completely taking out the power grid as they have shown they have that capability. At the end of day I hate that people are dying in a conflict that could of been avoided from both sides.
I just watched the sick perfect run John executed after a year long hiatus from practicing his drills at Teran Tactical. My dude is a fucking truth bomb when it comes to doing some trigger work.
Wali only lasted for 2 months in Ukraine. He ran away as soon as possible once he realised that Russia had artilery and tanks unlike the isis or talibans.

A Kornet missile is a bag of trouble it'll cut through modern tank armour. extremely accurate can be fired from a very long range without reactive defense system it's hard to deal with .
I mean dude isn't wrong half of the time war is boring but seriously don't forget what type of situation you are in. It's not fun seeing your dumb team mate goof around and accidentally step on an old come to find out still active mine bomb. 8:34 Exactly
I usually never comment, But like I said via Patreon. I haven't been able to watch any of the podcast for a min now like I would like. I've been recovering from some injuries. I'm sure it's a decent episode tho.
What is the best way to get in touch with Jon Berthal? I know this sounds crazy as hell, but I feel like he could potentially talk me off the proverbial ledge. I'm a 32 year old family man that is just absolutely tired of life. For some reason, I feel like being able to talk to this guy would give me some of my mojo back. Make fun if you want, but I've had trauma, been in bipolar mania 3 times, and have been suicidal more times than I care to admit.
@@BK5250 will do. I was admittedly kinda drunk when I wrote that. I think I'm cool. I've just had a lot of trauma to the point where I get skeptical when I'm happy.
@@nemesis9022 Honestly I feel the same sometimes, I’ve got a good job and great family, but sometimes I still feel like a failure and that my life just isn’t good enough. Then there is something that always stares me in the face to remind me I have a lot to live for.
Out of airborne, air assault, pathfinder, Ranger school, sniper School,the schools I have attended in past throughout the years I got out in 2012. I would say sniper school was one of the hardest. Maybe not physically like Ranger school. but more of a mental capacity and essentially being a calculator. Steady hand and then being stealthy stock lanes and whatnot those are the things that got the most people. Stock Lanes that wouldn't say shooting because the guys that get selected to go to sniper school you can shoot anyway. Target in inches * 25.4 / your Mill dots. Gives you the range of your target. So give or take across the world from the waist up is 30 in multiply that by 25.4. then you'll go ahead and get your Mill dot reticles on that Target and get your Mill dots and then divide and that'll give you your range so before we went to other countries we would actually go and like find out what kind of vehicles they had so we knew that a tire would be 30 in say. Or structurally it's very common for Windows to be a certain size. and then you would always have your dope that you would know or it would be on your buttstock or whatever. You can do quick shots. Fun fact I was in Fallujah
This is very important to understand that the actions of russia literally systematic warcrimes. Current regime is do everything to purify Ukraine since 2014, only right now losing patience right now and do it in obvious way. Any person who will try to dive into this topic can make such kind of conclusion. Only one way to end this war - russian capitulation.
True. Burned people were pro-russian separatists, who fought against Maidan. And People were talking about it, maybe you weren't listening? No-one was listening when east europeans warned world about Russia and Putin.
