  • Trent Barsness
    Love Show FOAB/TactNuke
    Love you show, love your perspective, I agree with almost all of it. Two things. One, can you adjust the volume you record? I’m very hard of hearing, and for some reason your show is low compared to other shows. It’s not a deal breaker lol but it would help me out a lot. Two, a tactical nuke has a yield of 1,700 tons TNT, Little Boy is 15,000 tons, FOAB 44 tons. So a FOABs TNT yield is 0.025% of a tactical nuke and 0.0029% of Little Boy. Meaning, a FOAB is substantially smaller than a tactical nuke. Therefore, you weren’t wrong my friend. Russia is still following the rules there. Hopefully it continues. Also my view is the same as yours. My hypothesis is, Russia creates a Kursk pocket. Using the troops you listed in Belarus, and the men they have ready in the rear. I do not believe this was a victory for Ukraine. I think this was all planned. It got Ukraine to devote men to a deep penetration without with great logistics. They can’t sustain it and they couldn’t from the start. They devoted and weakened the other fronts. Russia creates a Kursk pocket. They bombast them to submission or surrender. Take like 60% + of Ukraines force capability. This is an Ardennes Offensive in 2024. This is going to be how Ukraine loses and Russia completes their objectives. Or NATO makes a big mistake and article 5 Russia. That is troubling because there is talk of 800,000 troop movement to the Finnish and Polish fronts. Sorry for the story, I don’t know how else to respond to your show. I will continue to list!

    Useful idiot
    World news is complicated, so I try to get my fill from reputable sources, not some anonymous high school kid with a cheap microphone. He has passion and the ability to sort real events from disinformation, but his ability to draw conclusions and articulate relationships between headlines are, charitably put, immature. With respect to the war in Ukraine, he appears unaware that he is parroting Russian propaganda with takes like "Russia's an unbeatable superpower, it's America's fault for making Ukrainians think they ever had a chance, 'they' lied to us that Ukraine would win." If you want more sophisticated takes, check out Peter Zeihan, Ian Bremmer, or George Friedman. If you want to listen to propaganda, at least Tucker Carlson has higher production quality.

    High School Amateur Hour
    While I can appreciate another younger person having a passion for Geopolitics, this guy has absolutely no idea what he is talking about most of time. Through his cringeworthy forced half laughs at times, to make it sound like he knows what he is talking about, he manages to sound like a high schooler who regurgitates someone else’s completely uninformed opinion. He does do enough research to have a fleeting idea of what’s going on in a particular region, but then absolutely squanders any appearance of competency when he gives his insight on what’s happening. It is certainly entertaining to listen to though, definitely a good laugh.
  • sconnie122
    Passionate about topic
    I listen to this as someone’s interpretations and conclusions and for that, it’s easy and enjoyable to listen to the host, who’s passionate and excited to talk about geopolitics.
  • Notpayingforacellphone
    Interesting lens into isolationist right wing geopolitical thinking
    That’s what this show is. He does a good job of laying out incontrovertible facts that help one build their own picture, but a lot of his conclusions put his youthful inexperience on display. For example, saying the USA should default on its debt because “we can’t pay it”. That is utterly ridiculous; as if it’s supposed to be paid off at some point in time lol. Then, saying Russia will just destroy critical infrastructure and win the war… how well has that worked out? Russia can barely land 5% of its missiles due to Ukraine’s robust air defenses. We can’t afford to help Ukraine? Any seasoned geopolitical analyst will easily be able to explain that this war is nearly an order of magnitude cheaper than the cost of deterring an unscratched russian military supported by the prewar Russian economy. All in all, I enjoy listening occasionally because the podcast is a lens into that “alternative” thought space, but take what he says with a grain of salt. Update: how can you seriously think Russia could take on NATO, especially now. Please explain.

    Unfollowing due to use of R word slur
    Hey dude, it’s 2023. It’s not okay to use that word.
  • BigTimeTimmyJim45
    Utter nonsense
    Whoever this man is has no idea what he is on about. He offers no absolute facts and seems to pluck his “ideas” from headlines and doesn’t display an understanding of context. I came for a potential differing point of view and left utterly disgusted by this obvious propagandist.
  • JeffersonStatePatriot
    Nice amateur podcast.
    I really like this podcast. The host is quite an amateur podcaster and reporter which makes it more authentic. I really like listening to Mr. Haisean Wades opinions and he has made some really good predictions, which turned out true. Also could you tell us what state you are from, I’ve been dying to know what the accent you have is.
  • JeffreyJeffJeffJeffrey
    We’ll just have to see
    He could be right. He could be wrong. He could be a genius. He could be an a$$h0le. A refreshing perspective any way you cut it. I haven’t found many podcasts I enjoy agreeing and disagreeing with much more than this one.
  • Gregorysco
    Always a good listen
    I always enjoy listening to geopolitics even though I am a novice. Thanks for sharing your perspective. I even enjoy the periodic background noise😅!
  • bree34210@

    Please provide an email we can message with our comments questions or stories. Serves bro
  • owen severne
    Servus! Thanks Mr. Haisean.
    Hello, I have listened to all your podcasts and really enjoy them! Don’t stop making them! I love watching your show turn from a sort of mediocre pod to a more routine intermediate podcast. I love your opinions on the geopolitical climate, although I would like to hear an episode on your positionality, I believe I know it already.😉Keep on providing good, honest, true content! I have a few tips, 1. Get a sponsor, if your on anchor this should be easy. I really want you to make money, but I’m not in a position to donate, so you can keep the show going! 2. Have an email people can contact you with their questions on. 3. Maybe try a nicer audio recorder. Love your show, I’ve got some more ideas for it but this is all I got. Get some sponsors, keep going and this thing will surely take off!! The world is changing, and we’re gonna watch it, SERVUS!
