  • “No one is paying attention to history “. Might be the greatest understatement of this century so far.
  • Thank you David for bringing us this interview. I appreciate your channel and your views.
  • @jul3249
    Standard media giving us crap and then there’s David offering us stellar interviews like this 👌
  • Jack Barsky, thank you for your knowledge & insight.....bravo to you!
  • @banjo2019
    Jack is a really cool guy with an amazing life story. He suffered a lot of sadness too as the cost of being a KGB illegal in the US. Great interview.
  • @fishbone2921
    Great interview , very interesting. Thank you David.
  • @AinSoph73
    this guy speaks English better than half of the USA
  • @stephen3599
    The commemorative stamp was issued by Yushchenko as a last act on his way out of office on January 22, 2010. Not 2019
  • @Seahorse0418
    I listened to the podcast about Jack Barsky about a month ago and I was blown away by his story. I watch David Parkman on YouTube. Two worlds colliding and I’m here for it. Big fans of both of you!
  • @ivechang6720
    This is someone I would enjoy having a conversation with. Too bad I'm not likely to. I feel better knowing that someone like him is indeed out there. Thanks!
  • When I served active duty under my president Carter in relative peace time, I was able to name each commander by rank in my chain of command up to the president and that was common among my peers in the infantry at least. Not every fort or unit runs the same in every state. As a medic I could attach to any MOS field unit in the USA. The Russian soldier hasn't a clue who's behind issuing the marching orders. That's got to suck balls to be used as a junk yard dog to go wreck shit and come back home with better shit.

    Another excellent interview David, fascinating guest
  • Interesting stuff David, thanks so much for sharing it with everyone (not just members)!
  • I was 32, I think when the wall came down. When Gorbachev was gone I had a feeling one day the USSR would want everything back some how
  • @cj.7979
    Good Interview. Very enlightening. My extended family is in Poland so this insight will help me planning in the long term. I still think militarily Ukraine wins this war. However, Russia will still be tossing missiles into Ukraine as long as Ukraine resists and until russias capability to launch missiles is degraded. I think Barsky is right that there will be no uprising. In my view Russian Disinformation and Cyberwarfare will not stop in the near future unless stopped. This reality should be getting people to think about Russia's agents attempting to influence BOTH political parties. The recent arrest of a Russian national using a local socialist party in Florida to spread disinformation. Is a case in point. We can always hope for the best, but its best to be on guard against disinformation crafted to erode support for Ukraine.
  • @MrBendylaw
    Really good interview. Thankful for the fact he called out the Russian people for their complicity in this; I hope everyone reading this will examine the world around them and consider... Ukraine, at this moment, is the greatest, strongest Democracy in the world, because they are resisting tyranny with every bit of will, intelligence, and might they possess. Slava Ukraini!
  • @mghuber1
    Interesting this guy is going on his tour now giving all kinds of interviews. One thing I'll add is that almost every European country has been invaded six ways from Sunday, Russia is the only one now acting like a third rate terrorist organization.
  • @gafls3151
    Thank you for recording this interview
