I will never stop supporting Ukraine. Norway is with you❤

I wish the US congress would wake up and smell the coffee and support these brave men and women of Ukraine. Slava Ukraine thank you Operator Starsky God Bless you

Starkey is a true supporter and defender of Ukraine. Thank you for allowing him to speak.

Starsky is a true hero. Thank you for hosting him.

Starsky Rocks! Thanks for inviting him on your awesome channel, Sir.

Putin still doesn't realize he can never break the will of the Ukrainian people. Last night's record bombings are acts of desperation... all he has. Stay safe, Starsky!🙏 Slava Ukraini! 🫡💙🇺🇦

Operator Srarsky has an extraordinary quality:he makes me smile even when going gets tough! Thank you Jonathan for the wonderful guest !Slava Ucraini!💙💛💙💛👏👏

Operator Starsky No Bull no propaganda just the firm belief in the justness of the Ukrainian cause Represented with dignity and a smattering of dark humour He deserves a medal for his media services to the nation

The beard suits you Starsky! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦✌🏻🙏🏻🇺🇦💙💛🇬🇧

Thanks for your commitment for the Ukrainian cause!

I'm a 75 year old American living in Kherson through out the war and I am following American politics very closely relative to robust support for Ukraine. And there's some good news that is not covered. There's a number of Republicans in Congress who have a perfect record of support for Ukraine like my Congressman, Chris Smith from the 4th congressional district in New Jersey. I'm confident that America will come through but we are just SO slow. If I didn't believe that I would not still be in Kherson. Great interview. Keep up the good work, both of you.

It seems to me that Ukraine is never ever gonna stop denying Russia any "significant" gain of territory and the USA, UN, EU (NATO) is never ever gonna dry out their aid. Ukraine seems to have found a "sustainable" way to respond and stop Russian aggression. Congratulations for the minds behind it all. Slava Ukraine

Starsky you may never make General but you have become a major character for people all over the world already. Slava Ukraini

Thanks to both of you . I have believed for a decade that Eastern Europe is the last hope of western civilization. Ukraine is , not for the first time , the front line in a civilizational war .

I just love this young man💖

Cant go wrong with Starsky!

Operator Starsky IS “always deeply fascinating and compelling”! Well said! I thank you both. Slava Ukraini!💙💛

Slava, Ukraine! Slava, to the heroes of Ukraine! Thank you operators Starsky thank you for having this honorable man on your show.

Keep well Starsky...We love you....From the UK. Slava Ukraini.

Starsky is a legend! Heroyam slava!

We love you both. 👍

Thank you Starsky and Jonathan 💙💛 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

SLAVA UKRAINE from Italy !❤❤

Always good to hear from Operator Starskeyy. Marinka is 563 acres, average farm in USA is 445 acres.

It is actually a bit bonkers that Europe/NATO lacks the ability to provide something as basic as artillery shells !! Slava Ukraine & Operator Starsky et al ..,..

Thank you for your coverage and insights. 🇪🇺🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🇬🇧

Operator Starsky is an amazing fellow. I'm sure we are going to see a lot from him even after Ukraine wins. He is going to leave a mark on the world, and a very good one. Keep your eye on this guy. He is brilliant and will excel at anything he puts his mind to.

Thank You Silicon Curtain. This was informative, Slava Ukraine.Victory2024.

The people of the West will not abandon Ukraine! Slava Ukraini! UA!

From my vantage point here on Merseyside ( the Wirral, if I,m being picky...) , the hosting of Eurovision here ,was an absolutely stunning success...given the the Kleptocracy of Kleptograd are strangers to any truth, the informational war is being won by Ukraine ( ably assisted by Operator Starsky, Anna and your good self ,Jonathan) , excellent post, a happier Hogmany to Ukraine and all friends of Ukraine....peace and love...E...❤❤😊😊😊

Peace to Ukraine 2024🇺🇦🩵💛 .

Johnathan's interviews are such a pleasure to watch! Presenting one's views in a pleasant, entertaining manner helps get your message through. Ukraine is fortunate to have such a voice on their side.

Always enjoy Starsky's take, he and Anna did a roundtable (just the two of them) and it was fantastic. They listened to each other and provided genuine and heart felt responses that also informed. Thanks Jonathan!!!

Operator Starsky … legend 😊

Another fantastic conversation with Operator Starsky!

Slava Ukraini!💙💛 Thanks guys 😊. Stay strong up there Slava Ukraini!💙💛

He is smart and tells it like it is

Thank you both for an excellent video. Be assured more and more people are actively fighting disinformation. Starsky, Ukraine has revitalized democracy in more ways than you know. Too slow for me but changes for the better are happening.

Great podcast Slava to the Warriors and Ukraine 🇺🇲🇺🇦

Starsky his father was one of the Liquidators saving Europe from the Chernobyl disaster in 1986 in Pripyat.

Thank you Jonathan for reassuring our friends and for letting everyone else know that Britain is behind Ukraine. I hope it helps that Ukrainians can know that they have good friends here. We need other governments to get their acts together. The box tickers need to get their boxes ticked. Slava Ukraini. 💛💙

Thanks guys 😊. Stay strong up there 💪. Poobum gets nothing

Thanks for Your work in 2023! Hope to hear and see much more of You in 2024. Another visit in Ukraine and talks with people there would be paramount.

Always a pleasure to listen to Operator Starsky's first hand insights about what's happening in Ukraine. Great interview, great host! 💙💛

Starsky always brightens my day, hopefully he can appear every month.

Excellent interview! Always great to listen to his prospective and your good questions. Sometimes the truth is hard for some people to hear, but it is what it is. I am ashamed of my government and the GOP tying aid for Ukraine to US border policy, which has been flawed for my entire life. Yes, our border issues need immediate attention, but attaching aid for Ukraine to that issue is disgusting and so very shameful. Ukrainian people, civilian and military alike are paying with their lives every day. Sickens me. Thank you for promoting the awareness of what is happening on a daily basis to force conversations about this issue to the forefront!

Great conversation. Thank you, thank you. Slava Ukraini!

I really needed this video to counteract all the negatives being bandied around in discussion, thank you! ‘Operation positive thinking’… slam dunk! 💙💛

You are a wonderful UKpostsr; I learn so much from your channel. Keep it up, and pray for Send my taxes to defend Ukraine. 🇺🇸

If you live in the West and are not inspired by the Ukrainian people? There's something wrong with YOU... Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini Starsky!!!❤

Compelling conversation guys and it’s always good to see Starsky taking time to talk at length about the issues that he has to face daily! God speed their victory Slava Ukraini! 💕🙏🇨🇦🙏🇺🇦💕

Thanks for posting 👍🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸

Thanks, Operator Starskeyy.

Good work and thank you as always .

I really love this guy! Such a difference compared to Russian propagandists! Stay strong, Ukraine!,,,

Thank you both for your knowledge. It’s always a pleasure to hear insightful analysis from both of you. Slava Ukraini! 💛💙💛💙💛💙🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦 🔱💪👍

Slava Ukraini! 🇸🇪 🇺🇦 🇸🇪 🇺🇦

Glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦💜

Fantastic podcast! Thank you very much for opening our eyes to the true and barbaric nature of “ ruSSian culture”!

Love Starsky! 😍😍😍😍😍

Starsky is always awesome!!!!

Writing to my Republican Congressman again today requesting that we support Ukraine with the material capability to win (not whenever or ASAP, but) now. Make the Russians go home!

I had a dream...Moscow sank into the swamp it sits on, and a big bubble of swamp gas rose in its place and burst in the sun, leaving nothing.

Thank you both, Jonathan and Andrew! Great discussion about our perilous time. Happy and Best New Year's to you both! Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦

Captain Starsky is like the voice of the Ukrainian soldiers. They would much rather be going home to their families. But as long as pootler keeps his orcs in Ukraine, they will just continue to madder and "improve" the orcs at every chance. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦

4:10 The Muscovites relentlessly assaulted Marinka several times a day since 2014, which curious fact makes this battle the longest one in modern history, along with the same long battles of Ovdějevka and Peski, effectively declassing the infamous Battle of Verdun about nine times.

Amazing and refreshing to find someone who thinks like me, Jonathan! Not "as long as it takes" how about "as fast as possible"!!! Well said Jonanthan! Slava Ukraini!

As always, thank you Operator Starsky❣️

Thank you, Johnathan, for your work connecting Ukrain supporters from around the world! I have one more person that I think should be in this team and that is our prime swedish information war fighter lt colonel Joakim Paasikivi from the swedish war academy. He is a frequent guest in swedish media for example in Aftonbladets Krigsrapporten (the war report).

Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 💙💛

Thanks for your very good interviews. I am from South Africa and was in Amsterdam when the war started. I am leaving in February 2024 and I am praying that Russia is defeated before I leave. Bravo Ukraine

Anyone who has been paying attention knows who Starsky is .😊😊

Operator Starsky is a great commentator.

Always a source of insight.

I’ve been watching the Operator since the very beginning of the war, and I’m totally on the same page. Slava, Ukraine, from New Hampshire.

Thank you Operator Starsky for your insight and knowledgeable input on what the future holds for Ukraine and all of us. May victory come soon!

The Emperors New clothes is Putin's Russian Federation.

Brilliant interview. Thank you so much Jonnsthan. What a smart, humble and honorable Ukrainian soldier and analyst. Pleasure!!!! Slava Ukraini. Ukraini wii prevail❤️❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦

Two thumbs up to both of you, have a good new year 2024. Of course in support of Ukraine. In hope for victory soon.

An outstanding video as always. On your discussion regarding Russian disinformation it occurred to me you might consider interviewing Ryan McBeth. He is a specialist in information warfare, among other things, and I believe could contribute some useful insights. On Russia moving south, one should remember that Russia isn't the only country interested in exerting influence in the region. Turkey, for example, is cultivating relations with the other Turkic peoples of central Eurasia, such as the Kazakhs. Additionally Iran, India and China all have interests in the region. Kipling's "Great Game" comes to mind, and while not all of these countries are friends, there are situations where the interests of not-friends might align. Slava Ukraini! 💙💛

Fìrst time viewer was watching Starsky during the interviews such an interesting person with so much knowledge i ĺike listening to him he explains things very well.such a nice guy.God Bless him take care ❤❤Slava Ukraine.🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

Thank you for sharing this interview! Slava Ukraini, Heroyam Slava, more than ever!

Thank you Jonathon for this great discussion with Operator Starsky! They are always so insightful. Its great to see and hear Opeator Starsky share his thoughts and wisdom with all of us around the world. Happy New Year to all of you, and I pray that 2024 will be the year for Ukraine's victory. 💙💛🙏

Another superb discussion Jonathan! Thank you! And thank you to Operator Starsky too! FWIW, one of the points that really stood out for me was Operator Starsky suggesting that one of the most effective ways to counter Russian hybrid warfare & its campaigns of misinformation conducted through influencers in the west would be to educate the pubic re Russian tactics, strategies & key enablers. FWIW, I really believe that two things need to happen. First, non-Ukrainian 'experts' need to call out these influencers for what they are & challenge them in the open regarding what is truth & what is not. Second, I am absolutely sure that there a number of agencies (government or otherwise) which continually follow the flow of money around the world, and determine where the 'dark money' originates & where it is headed. It would surprise me if this was something the Ukrainians have observed & analyzed in depth for many years, especially in light of the anti-corruption work that has gone on in Ukraine over the last decade. Regardless of where the info comes from, IMHO, it is imperative that well-researched & thoroughly-understood pathways between Russian oligarch/Putin money and key influencers/politicians/media outlets in 'the West' have their cloaks pulled off in the light of day. Certainly there have been rumours & accusations regarding dark Russian money & certain politicians in the U.S.A....why not organize a campaign to put the specifics of these sorts of connections out into the open on a regular basis? Now, of course I totally understand how doing so would trigger one sh*tstorm after another, which in-turn would probably lead to threats of/actual lawsuits & other weapons of the rich/powerful/infuential being brought to bear on those who reveal 'uncomfortable truths', therefore I am certainly not suggesting that independent media personalities, or YT podcasters/vloggers lead the charge. Instead, this would best come from the Ukrainian media, government, academics (..whoever has sufficient protection from the 'weapons of the rich/powerful/influential'...), and then 'smaller fish' in the traditional/mainstream media, on social media platforms, etc could report on these stories, with the hope that individual citizens will spread the word from there. Overall...practical details aside...I view Operator Starsky's recommendations re shining the light on Putin's enablers in 'the West' (..via "follow the money" conversations..) to be an absolute must, if pro-democracy, pro-Ukraine folks are to see Russian propaganda, misinformation campaigns & political destabilization initiatives rendered ineffective!

💛💙💜💙💛 couldn't wait, listening now 🤭 I'll relisten at my usual time, too! Thank you, Jonathan and Operator Starsky 💖🤗 Ukraine 🌏 🇺🇸

0:36 Ukrainian humor is uniquely direct, hits the truth target. 🇺🇦💯

Keep your spirit up and stay strong Starsky/Ukraine! Belive in you and your brave defenders🇺🇦🇸🇪💯👍

Starsky 🎉

SO admire operator Starsky.❤

Mariinka is no longer a small town, nor a pile of rubble-it should be re-named as Putin's Folly Russian Military Cemetery No 4 after PFRMC No 1 Bakhmut, No 2 Avdiivka and No 3 Vuhledar 😎

Operator Starsky is awesome. Funny but serious, love watching him💕❤️🇨🇦

Brilliant as always, Jon. Slava Ukraini! 👍👍

Great discussion and ideas. ❤ Starsky ❤ Jonathan.

Putin has notoriously ignored peace treaties. Why would you negotiate with him. The Budapest Memorandum is ironic here. Under the agreement, the signatories offered Ukraine "security assurances" in exchange for its adherence to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

This is a very interesting discussion

Thank you for the discussion, you guys are very much appreciated voices of reason, intelligent, knowledgeable and informed. Keep up the great work and may some sense of actual sanity prevail!

Thank you Johnathan for bringing Capt.Starsky back. A reacuring appearance would be very nice. I like what you are doing with your show. I like the 2nd channel idea.

Operator Starsky is in charge of spaghetti, coffee, and Futch, although Futch may disagree. (Sarcasm). Good to see his beard, it makes him look younger. I listen carefully to him, the information is often hidden in the back, but it's there. Like a lot of Ukranian people, Starsky has been imaginative, innovative, and very stubborn. Slava Starsky. 🇺🇦💖
