Today I’m speaking with Jake Broe, a United States Air Force veteran who served for six years as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. But you may know him better as one of the most prominent voices on YouTube throughout the war, someone with absolute moral clarity about who the victim of the war is – spoilers, it’s Ukraine – and who brings direct military experience to his detailed analysis of the unfolding conflict. Do please subscribe to his channel for videos updates on the war in Ukraine as well as conversations with engaging speakers, expert guests, and other YouTubers.

Jonathan Fink is brilliant. His channel is a who’s who of the finest, best qualified pro-Ukraine thinkers.
Jake Broe is no exception. He reaches some uncomfortable conclusions, but it’s hard to argue with any of them.
Jake :
“The people who support Russia are all serious creeps and losers. Scott Ritter : a convicted child sex offender.”
Steven Seagal : sinister sex pest.
“The human beings that Russia trots out to defend them; I don’t know how people connect with them.”
It’s a mystery to me too.
“Media: Russian Troops Attacked Dam In Kharkiv Region”

☹
“The success rate of trying to convince somebody who has fallen victim to Russian propaganda to switch is very low.”
True : can’t think of anyone in the public sphere who has flipped over to the side of humanity.
Can anyone here think of someone?
How about Mike Johnson? He had a “F Very Poor” rating regarding Ukraine support, but came through in the end.
