  1. Huge respect to the valiant Ukrainian fighters…
    They are fighting so bravely & tirelessly against all odds to defeat the evil invaders…
    Slava Ukraini…
    Stay strong Ukraine.

  2. I love to see Vindman in a position where’s able to inform the people, after he has been railroaded and mistreated by a criminal and the GOP cabal.

    1. @frederic rike I went to school with a guy like him. He is now an authority on Air Warfare at Maxwell Airforce base. Having good geeks on your side certainly can help you win a war! ๐Ÿ˜Š

    2. @james Deer Vindman completed the Infantry Officer Basic Course (IOBC) at Fort Benning in 1999 and was sent the next year to South Korea, where he led both infantry and anti-armor platoons. In addition to overseas assignments to South Korea and Germany, Vindman is a combat veteran of the Iraq War, and he served in Iraq from September 2004 to September 2005 In October 2004 he sustained an injury from a roadside bomb in Iraq, for which he received a Purple Heart He was promoted to the rank of major in 2008 and to lieutenant colonel in September 2015

  3. You can’t ever underestimate someone who is fighting for their love, their land, homes and freedoms. Stay Strong Ukraine.๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ™ฅ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆโ˜ฎ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’›

  4. For many Russians, one of the most profound unspoken tenets that formed the Soviet system was that human life has no value โ€” except for the lives of the rulers and authorities. “I am nothing” forms a grim legacy inherited from the Soviet Union where multitudes often were repressed, oppressed and sacrificed in whatever manner the leaders deemed appropriate in order to accomplish their goals. It derives not only from that oppressive system, but also from centuries of being subject to autocratic rulers who regularly regarded citizens as property to be used as needed.

    1. @Florin Jurcovici
      No Cossacks remained on the territory of modern Ukraine. All Cossacks, being a military class, moved to the territory of modern Russia. Those 70,000 people you are talking about are impostors. The geneology of Ukrainians is as follows: southern Russians, Little Russians, Ukrainians. The names have changed, but not the genetics. By the way, one priest came up with the name Little Russians, and the Austrians came up with the name Ukrainians during the First World War.

    2. @James C He did say that he is concerned about their ability to do it according to how many losses they suffer every day and “if” they succeed then it is possible to make planned progress. Ukrainians need lots of more soldiers and equipment to achieve any offensive. With no air support there will be devastating losses on the ground.

    3. @Florin Jurcovici Although I kind of agree with what’re saying, I also feel it’s easy to put too much stock in history, history do change sometimes because of various factors that wasn’t there before, and if it Russia’s heading towards another fall, the last one wasn’t that long ago. In one sense everything is different this time, and that is internet and smartphones, and of course there’s people like Navalny whom I hope to see have survived this, who is sensable and has great support. Btw, my point was that I do feel the culture already has changed to some degree. But sure, it might just be wishful thinking more than anything else but I hope not.

    1. @John Freedman Germany got destroyed, or did you miss that part? the Finns were with Germany than with the ALLIES.

    1. @skillbopster We know what he’s accomplished: Purple Heart, Meritorious Service Medal, Army Commendation Medal . . . a helluva lot more accomplished than Private Bonespur.

  5. Col. Vindman remains one of the most admirable and capable and principled victims of the Trump “presidency.” His expertise and calm are welcome in the current hysteria and anxiety about the war.

    1. GMT is going to send a new ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿคจ๐Ÿฅธ

  6. We need to have Alexander Vindman’s updates on ALL our TV channels!!!
    Would loved to get his advice on what the US should be supplying and in what quantities?

  7. Great to see Ret Col Vindman driving the board! Ukrainian forces have been meticulously laying the groundwork for a successful campaign. Glory to the Heroes! Slava Ukraini! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  8. *_โ€œCongressman, because this is America._*
    *_This is the country I have served and defended,_*
    *_that all of my brothers have served,_*
    *_and here, right matters.โ€_*

    *Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman*
    *Before the U.S. House Select Committee*
    *Nov 19th, 2019*

  9. Keep having him on. He’s an education. Vindman knows the country & how to pronounce the names of the towns.

    1. He is super intelligent too. Unlike other analysts, he never underestimated Russia despite its initial failures.

    2. @frederic rike That’s all very cool but what I really like is that I never have reason to think he’s lying. I trust him.

  10. Great to see Lt. Col. Vindman back from Ukraine. The sage counsel of our military is always appreciated.

  11. Please have Vidman on the show more. I always look for his commentary and use it when teaching. Heโ€™s knowledgeable, well spoken, served honorably, and stood his ground to protect our country during all that occurred in the Trump administration. Very grateful.

    Ukraine will become one of our greatest allies thanks to officers like Alexander Vidman.

  12. When ever I see him, I have to say it: Thanks for your service, Mr Vindman. And thanks for testifying, and standing up to Trump during his second impeachment trial. You are are credit to your Ukrainian heritage.
