President Xi Jinping is the most powerful man in the world.

When Ukrainian loosing the ground then they forced to retrieve 😂😂😂😂 wow hypocrites band lies of Hofman … I love this lies which easily can exposed in Ukrainian Aavdivka fall… according to him Russia got casualties and Russian glide bombs I think according this liar not making any effect in Aavdivka 😂😂😂😂 … so your own analysis was so wrong

Excellent discussion.

Absolutely terrific. Great interview. Fascinating subject.

Nobody here mentions Russia vast air superiority which is increasingly being implemented. Ukraine is also running out of manpower in what is mainly an attritional, not territorial battle by Russia.

So many idiots made bad decision in the west. The “offensive” was never going to work. Anyone who thought it would is either an idiot or evil. I’d suggest our general is the former.

Incorrect title. It’s should be the 10 years of the US and Europes proxy war against Russia. I wonder where you’ll go with this.

The Russians have massively underperformed in this War a few things need to happen: 1, the supply of weapons to Ukraine needs to be speeded up and extended; 2, those weapons need to be used against targets in Russia; 3, Ukraine needs to mobilise more troops; 4, the West needs to train those troops better and listen to their feedback, not just spout NATO doctrine; 5, we need to close the sanctions net so tight it now hurts

Glory to Ukraine!! Slava Ukraini!!!

For those who are here for Kofman: 02:49 Where do we stand today? 11:36 Survival Magazine Piece, Attrition Doctrine for Ukraine. 23:17 Innovation, Adaptation, and Industrial Capacity. 32:20 Effectiveness of Drones, Technology on the Battlefield. 38:46 Taking out the Kerch Bridge, Threat to Russian Positions in Crimea. 45:24 Replacement of Zaluzhniy with Syrskiy. 53:45 Lessons learned so far. 1:01:05 - Theory of Victory for Ukraine.

I've said many times and in many places that this war reminds me a lot of the Civil War, where the numerically smaller and industrially weaker side performed well above expectations due to their willingness to fight and turned what everyone thought would be a short easy war into a years-long slog. But in the end the Confederacy was ground down by the Union's Industrial and Manpower advantages and the only hope for victory became breaking Union will. Ukraine likewise can only really win if it can convince the Russians to give up, and the main factor in this war, much more important than Western support, is Russian willingness to keep fighting.

Well, he may have written a book but he can't articulate one continuous sentence, having listened through this I can only come away with what a 12 year old could have said - Russia planned a swift quasi- millitary take over but forgot to get the agreement of Ukraine, and he has no more idea of the future progress than I do - yes - he agrees, that is a good question. Don't waste your time on this - despite the promise, there is nothing here.

It takes 10 years to get USA navy ship

USA way behind in drone warfare

Is Ukraine army going run out of men

USA no more ammunition left USA only make hamburgers now no industrial base

Valuable discussion. Thank you.

By late July 2023, it is clear the Ukrainian counter offensive has been a failure. The dog that didn’t bark.

David Tyson, did a talk last year but unfortunately as I'm from the UK Wasn't cleared to visit the lecture. Real shame would have loved to get to get To listen to him live.

😂 funny how samuel is repeated on the name tigrai

All you are talking about is the same thing your country's do

Insightful

Since Russia and China have enabled the former US Colonies to trade among themselves, the US appears to get left out. Apparently it hurt Wall Streets feelings. So they sent NATO to act like Nazis. That about sums it up. The Propaganda Warfare continues.

So a popular uprising in Donetsk against the powers that be is Russia's doing but Nuland handing our cookies in Maidan (and spending on that 5bil along the way) is just a part and parcel of a democratic revolution? Look here, don't look there!))

If Ukraine has a Patton or a Rommel, they will reach the Azov Sea in 3 days. If not it could take 3 months and be very costly.

I'll buy the ebook if it's on Kobo

😂😂😂😅😂 Just....delusional.. 😂😂🤣😂🤣😆😆😆 Stop, really! 😂😂🛑🛑🛑😂😂😂 Not only wrong but way to biased 😂😂😅🤣 tone it down a bit, its showing! 😂😂😆

Overlooking the effects of Russians unplugging the 1500+ Electric Locomotives appears to have diverted Diesel fuel to the 30 Locomotives bought in 2018 from GE. The fuel that Tanks need appears to be diverted to logistics? The appearance of any Armored support in the limited offensives that Kyiv has attempted since November, seem to suffer from a lack of fuel. The Russians simply shoot the Ukraine's Trenches and Kyiv is forcing Draftees to enjoy the cold in the holes in the ground, as the Artiller falls around them. Bachmut is done, Avdivka has lost their rail connection to Dnipro, so the Artillery that has been shooting holes in Donetsk schools for 9 years appears to be slowing down. But Kyiv appears to be disadvantaged by a lack of Young Men, as the conflict continues. The Ukraine Air Force loses a Plane a day, Russia seems to fly around even behind Kyiv's lines. The US should have cut their losses before the $15 billion the IMF Funds are now sending them. Russia will have to rebuild the Ukraine, after evicting Nazis once again....

EVERYBODY... pretty much... just Shuts'duhFock'Up... and listens to Michael Kofman. Michael Kofman Owns The Fockn 🏦!... and everyone else says... "Yup... he's right."

These commentators are NOT applying all the lessons learned in the Russo-Ukrainian War 2022-2023. This is sad with a General Officer in attendance. For example: 1: Ukrainians built an off the shelf sea drone which has hobbled the Russian Black Sea Fleet. Why should the US rush to build any $1+ billion ship without 1ST developing a new Naval Strategy based on the most modern weapons systems? For example, will a stealth PT size boat, controlling 3-4 torpedo drones, be able to stand off 500 miles and attack Chinese surface ships? If not, will bases in an island array offer bomb proof direction centers where torpedo drones can be operated? Both of these options cost less than a vulnerable large ship. Ukrainian attrition is based on a transitional Soviet organized and equipped force to a NATO organized and equipped force. IF the US fought Russia or China, air dominance, then air superiority and ultimately air supremacy would determine the speed at which naval or ground forces were deployed. I would expect the ramp up mobilization of NATO forces would be masked by this air war. Would HIMARS make a difference? Well, HIMARS is out of the bag. It will be something else for which Russia or China were less prepared. The Europeans are way behind in NATO quality of force for mobilization ramp up. Most US National Guard troops in a standard 6 year part time enlistment will fire more MBT, Infantry, and Artillery rounds than almost every full time European soldier. The weaker areas are higher Command leadership and coordinated Unit fighting. But neither are most regular European Armies. The US biggest gap is the transitional battlefield from winning a war to building a lasting peace. The US needs a concept for a Pacification Corp of military and civilian nation builders. Not all people groups can be in the same national boundaries. For example, Iraq should have been partitioned. Not all groups of people are ready for Western Style democracy. For example, Afghanistan was not ready for 1 man 1 vote. However, a Council Of Area Leaders is more democracy than what we have today and allows for sub people group diversity. Later the US could send in a real Peace Corp of planners from school systems to utility supply, to military organization, to infrastructure.

The lady made a VERY troubling point and one no one else wanted to touch. M in Ww2 the US relatuve to Germany and Japan had tremendous heavy industrial capacity US losses of capital ships after 1942 simply didnt matter. Lose a carrier 3 popped out shortly there after. Losex100 plane s a n d pilits no problem. Not so for the Hapanese. Or the Germans. And if we get into it with China t h ere had better be a rapid and heavy on shoring of ALL industry in protected areas. Otherwise we WILL lose to China.I efen rate right n o w ba rt ring rather drastic steps to in crease it is far inferior to C h inas. Gonna be some haaaard times. One modificatiob necessary in the US military us to promptky replace Milley abd the rest of the ooliticuan ass kisser R E MFS witth real combat officers.bettdr forget sbout LGBQTRZ CARAP and get dedicated troops who will fight instesd of give up

What's the status of himars sent to Ukraine?

America needs to incorporate the ‘military munitions corporations’ to a larger private/governmental industry. The financial costs and intellectual enhancements will give the military more cost effective control. This will also, help lower the costs on the defense budget worries.

When Putin failed in capturing Kyiv, he went to "Plan 1(a)" - The Donbas. The Natural Resources beneath the Donbas. Trillions of square feet of Natural Gas, Huge Oil Reserves, and the Coal Mines with the world's largest deposit of Coal. These resources are Ukraine's future and that of Europe.

Oh man. You guys are delusional if you sincerely believe what you're saying

In regards to structure: Russian military lacks a robust and coherent NCO corps. You have alot more officers in the Russian military doing the same jobs that mid to senior NCOs do in western militaries. This in turn leads to deficiencies down at the tactical level, and they're a myriad of issues: lack of discipline, esprit de corps, lack of initiative on the battlefield and so on.

Michael Kofman is a cool collected analyst who is so well focused and comes out with the best most sensible learnings. While Nora Bensahel is so paranoid, so terrified of everything, that she just advocates extreme policies on all aspects..no texture, no granularity, no gumption in dismissing the less important. Just too scared and spreading exaggerated fear..unable to get the important learnings. "Just do everything in heaps and cover yourself well..because anything and everything will go terrifyingly wrong."

Talking about the lessons learned from Russia's invasion.... I wish that one lesson would be that every conceivable avenue and programme must be proactively pursued to avoid a war with China.

We are all used to corruption & incompetence in our daily lives, but the federal government & military industry are huge enterprises, with enormous amounts of money, supposedly simulating multiple scenarios... between arrogant insular agencies, corrupt greedy corporations, incompetent bureaucrats, a reckless manufacturing industrial ecosystem policy etc etc. Endless disappointments & failures. We need to park guillotines throughout DC to refocus the priorities of public servants. More public oversight & accountability, more utilization of public ingenuity.

All 3 guests were on point 🔥 .. Glad they’re on our team!

Putin is fighting a People. Not no simple army

The portrait on Michael Kofman's wall is fantastic.

Michael Kofman is great. One of only a handful of experts, in any field, who are worth listening to.

Enlightening. Missing analysis of the major changes to world naval forces subsequent to the current Ukrainian conflict regarding aquatic drones.

The war in the field is really a side show in a space dominated by informational warfare. How long will the U.S civil state tolerate the open activity of FSB agents like Tucker Carlson and John Mearsheimer? At the very least some kind of discovery and exposure is needed. The Russian intelligence state does not rest. It has active plans in every nation of the world. Are we to conclude that American INACTION in this area is an indirect confession that the U.S intelligence state is playing the same dirty game?

Gee Ben why don't you do a follow up Feb. 21, 2023 on your own disinformation campaign. When are you gonna join up with whats left of the Azov forces and kill Russians?

I see so many historical flaws and imperialistic attitude in this conversation.

Anything in the notes on when the next virus is scheduled for release? Event 201 is saying 2025, is that accurate?
