It'll be worth it. I wanted to be like, no, I'm paying you. You got to do what I say. But then I'm thinking, you know what? Maybe I should listen to this guy. He was born in Russia, lived in Ukraine since then for many years. Maybe he knows something I don't. Okay, I'll put my ego aside.
Really glad that I did because when I'm there, we went out that night, I got annihilated with these Ukrainian intelligence guys. It's basically like the CIA, but Ukrainian. You got drunk with them. Just completely obliterated. Don't use annihilated with war. Yeah. That's why I don't have my arm. Yeah. There was this drink that they have that I don't know what it was.
It was kind of like a Red Bull vodka bizarre drink that got me turned.
So we're making fun of Ukraine, and he's making fun of America, and we're bonding, and he's like, you know what? I like you, Chris. You're a good guy, Cappy. And I was like, I like you too. Cappy Army!
Good man. I was like, he's like, what, what, like, how can I help you out? And I'm like, get me into, get me into Kursk. That would help. He's like, actually, I'm very good friends with the guy. Like, I used to be in the same unit as the guy that's in charge of the Kursk operation. I'm like, sure you are. Okay. No, like, all right, cool. You'll get me into Kursk.
He's like, no, really, I'll set it up. All right, sure. Then it really did happen.
I wanted to know what was really going on there. I wanted to know the truth. And, uh, curiosity killed the cat.
John Caffey's this.
Alright, so... We meet in Sumi, which is like an hour. I told you guys we got across the border and...
the artillery fire so when as we cross the border they're like okay this is the part where we're it's the worst part you basically the infiltration to the front they're like this is under enemy fire control so we're if you look at what the situation was like in kursk basically we're surrounded on three sides by the russians they're to the the west east north
all around us and they just floor it and they turn on their jamming device and it's loud as it's like ew thing that's i'm probably going to die early from radiation yeah exactly okay and i can feel my brain like a little bit get scrambled i'm like picking up fm radio from the states
And it is – so they're just flooring it down this road where you see the border – the border has like the – it says Russia on this big giant like Soviet blocks that was probably made in the 80s.
and it's the most surreal experience crossing that border and we get into suja and the outgoing right away as soon as i get out of the uh vehicle i was not prepared for like the outgoing even and it's just the explosions or she this you couldn't really see in the video but you feel the earth like move from the outgoing rounds from the 155 that they're sending out
constantly because basically they're doing uh covering fire because they know that okay we have the one american journalist coming in correspondent coming in and so i get to speak to some russian civilians that basically anyone that's staying there at this point are people that they're like we've lived here forever and we're not going anywhere Like this is my home that we built 30 years ago.
Do you feel like the Ukrainians are occupying it? Russians are occupying it. This is like a very poor part of the region. And I asked them like, why are you here? They get them in touch with their family. Like, here's your daughter. They're begging you to leave. And they're like, I'm not. I'm staying here. It's my home.
And that's basically the prevailing opinion of the Russians that I spoke to that were there. Like, the Ukrainians, they had a mission with me. Like, they wanted, you know, their propaganda purpose. They wanted to show the American audience that, like, we're not there killing and pillaging. That was their goal, right? And my goal was to show, basically, I wanted to show people the logistics of...
Large scale war. Like I wanted to show people. And frontline. Yeah. Yeah. I went, I spoke to the Bradley guy, the guys that run the Bradley's there, the guys that strikers, like that's the, the type of vehicle that I was in Iraq.
I got to see it in Kursk, the 80th aerosol units that were like with the, the Bradley's, the, the Abrams there got to meet all those guys that are fighting on the front in Kursk. And that was like my goal, show that story. Ukrainians have the story that they wanted to show. And the Russians have their side of the story that they are trying to tell.
They're claiming that the Ukrainians are coming in and just killing everyone. And it's like, yeah, of course, wherever war goes, people die. People are dying. Civilians are dying.
i saw ukrainians living out you know they're taking shelter in houses and the russians are bombing houses straight up just like airstrikes on houses and ukrainians are staying in them russians are also using houses it's not like american military in iraq we're on bases right but if we were to fight a near-peer war
