Yes, but how will the previously indoctrinated Ukraine war lovers respond to it?

I can’t believe there are only 11 comments here. Matt and Walter spent two hours expertly laying bare the absolute criminal levels of incompetence and imbecility of the Biden administration, divining more truth from the cross section of the subject piece written by a deep state sycophant than was ever intended by the author, who I presume was publishing on orders.

Matt and Walter are both right, heads need to roll, jail time needs to be served, and no one should ever again trust the American government. I’m fucking disgusted by the treachery and incompetence of my government completely controlled by its craven and obvious lust for money and power. How is none of this treason?

Heads do need to roll and room should be made in insane asylums for these Dr Strangelove characters . Just today a Democratic Party organization asked me to donate money to having statues of Biden and Obama placed in the Whitehouse. If you can believed it !!

Matt and Walter,

This is such an important review of the truth of things in Ukraine in a single video that many have known or suspected for years. As retired military who spent way too much of his adult life in the Middle East you always knew leadership was in it for something other than the troops and the good of the nation. The fact that our ruling class is so cavalier with the lives of Ukrainians, our troops, and even ALL THE LIVES ON THE PLANET is breathtaking. It is appalling that the public was never aware of how much we were participating in this war and how close we were to provoking Russia. More importantly was how lightly they took the consequences of their actions and their repercussions.

Also, thank you Matt for taking the abuse and frustration of testifying before Congress. Your work on free speech is essential and much needed. The fact that so many are comfortable with government censorship is a testament to our broken education system. It can't be easy to have nitwit Nina mock you as she partisanly lies about GEC and government involvement. Even though it is a clown show getting the truth out is so important.

Keep up the important work

By Grimnir's flaming Crest, this show was a wild ride of anger, sadness, acceptance, shame, and hilarity. The Ruinous Powers of Chaos are all represented in the halls of Washington D.C.

I just listened--totally absorbed throughout. Worthwhile to closely parse this very slippery piece. And the hits just keep on coming... Meaning turnabouts, revelations, and, thank goodness, your on target (o, is that on points of interest?) and often appropriately hilarious riffing.

Don’t forget Biden invited Russia by saying we may not mind “a small incursion.” AND later accidentally said the truth about our intentions to degrade Russia: “This man (Putin) cannot remain in power!”

We need to continue asking why and watching closely who and what purpose this article at this time serves. Could it possibly be to anger Putin and Russia ? To throw a monkey wrench into the peace process and undermine Trump and Putin communications and trust?

I just started listening a few weeks ago, and really love this podcast. I also am really happy to have been introduced to Walter by this show. He is hilarious, and a great communicator.

I've heard more than 1 time that the Ukraine death toll is well over a million. Seems strange that, in an age of near real time complete information about nearly everything, we don't know for sure.

Shocked that our gov’t lies during a war. Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, and others in our recent history. Walter was a young kid during most of Vietnam. He has a limited first hand understanding of that era. We failed to recognize that it was a civil war. Instead, our gov’t preached about the “domino theory” which has re-emerge in Ukraine (Putin wanting all of Eastern Europe). It’s unfortunate that we didn’t listen to diplomats like Jeffrey Sachs over the last 30 years. We’d be living in a different world.

Great work on this. I hadn't seen the article, so this was all new.

I wish you had spent another 30 minutes or so (it's a podcast so you're not limited by time) or perhaps you can follow up in an article to address the question of the impact of this "new" information. Certainly Russia and Europe must have known what was happening. Now that the US has said, "we're leaving," how must the EU feel about being left with this turd? What does it mean for Ukraine long term; they were always closer to Russia? Lots of questions to consider.
