Ben Hodges provides a voice of reason and a voice of hope. Always!
Ben Hodges is simply the best commentator on the Ukraine war. Such a shame he is not in Government contributing to the USA foreign policy 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini
No shame it should have never happened and it will end
Yeah he say what you want to hear. Ukraine is collapsing and he is preparing for Russian collapse, hard to comment that bull....
he would not work for a criminal like Trump
General Hodges, your analysis of the Russian/Ukraine conflict is on point. Watching from Ireland 🇮🇪
Ben hodges one of the best
Once again, General Ben talks good common sense. I feel general Ben would make a great US president 😊
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 pass the meth pipe dude you have had enough
I wonder if Putin would end up craping bricks if time would have allowed someone like Red White to be president when Putin was starting all this. If you don't recognize the name, Red White was an executive director of the CIA, recruited by people like Dulles in it's early days
Thank you.
General Hodges needs to come out of retirement.
The world needs great leaders like him.
I agree 100% with General Ben Hodges. Even if my country 🇸🇪 has done ok so far helping Ukraine, it's far from enough. We cannot allow Putin/Russia to win, it will not stop with Ukraine. The way Russias finances thumble down, KIA reach +750K and Russia having problem with getting equipment and what happens in Kursk shows one thing very clear, Russia is losing fast!
Dream on, Russia won't Lose. The Prognosen were false from beginning. The numers of losses are not true. Ukraine has about almost one Million losses, over 800000 deaths, Russia about 100000. Macgregor, Larry Johnson, Scott Ritter, Mercouris say all Ukraine is losing badly. And they are independend expert. The Russian economy is the unique country which is gaining.
Ben Hodges top man, top General. Slava Ukranii.
You’re wrong. This guy is a paid propaganda tool
I hope that there are some English speaking Ukranians watching this. You are not alone and with guys like Ben Hodges speaking up for you, never give up hope. To the folk at UATV, thanks for doing a job that is 100X better than Western Mass Media. When you have won the war, can you take over BBC News please?
Ben, once again, an inspired insight. Thankyou
Brilliant general! Thank you for your position
Hodges has a serious breadth of knowledge. That sort of warrior philosopher is such a rare and valuable man , especially these days.
this man speaks the true truth
😅😅😅😅
Ben Hodges is a lot like disgraced Gen Milley that voted for Biden/Harris that have the worst approval rating in Modern History -- Ben also commanded the worst freeloaders in Nato Military Spending in History and did nothing about it.

EXCELLENT !!!!❤💯❤

Youre whining all over Ivan@@leonidastsouris2557

@TheBritishCousin the only warmongers on the planet are nato and the Americans mate , China is not our enemy , neither is Russia
@leonidastsouris2557 ok Russian troll farma count! How's the weather is St Petersburg today??
I like General Hodges a lot!!!
It is a point of wonder that Ben Hodges has not been hired by an appropriate government office or agency to be part of the official policy making process.
Completely agree 100%
Trump is trying to put a talk show host into Secretary of Defense over the Pentagon.... absolute malpractice and idiocy
A1 best true facts and information 👍 👍
With the war against Ukraine, Putin has strengthened and united NATO, reduced Russian oil and gas exports, weakened the Russian economy, brought about the fall of Assad and thus the loss of Russian bases in Syria. As a result, Putin's war and weakening also contributed to the end of the Kim regime in North Korea and the Mullah regime in Iran.
Putin is also NATO Salesman of the year with Finland & Sweden joining as a result of his invading Ukraine.
😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks, UATV English.
💙 God Bless Ukraine 🇺🇦 God Bless your media outlet state and independent getting the word out. I will forever support 🇺🇦
Thank you again General Hodges🔔🙏🏽
👍❤️🇺🇦
Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇲🎉
If Putin was to carelessly walk by an open window, the Ukraine / Russia borders revert to to 1991 boundaries, then Peace with Honor could be achieved - and we could all go home.
They need to resign their seat on the UN Security Council and be replaced by Germany/Japan or India
He's being called Bunkernyi Ded (Bunker grandpa) bc he's been holing up mostly, in secure locations. He's been paranoid for many years & of course he knows.... It's not only paranoia now.
Excellent interview! I am a big fan of Gen. Hodges and hope he is correct about Russia's weakness. I personally believe Russia will slowly wither rather than collapse, we will see a decrease in attacks as its logistics dry up. Why does it still have fuel (refining) and rail transport capabilities at all?
Gazprom is going under, too.
General Hodges, as usual comes through.
Excellent talk, as always when Gen. Hodges is involved. One thought on top: Looking at the ruzzian war on Ukraine, I really wonder whether Mr Trump still considers NATO to be "obsolete".
Ben Hodges 2028
THIS.
We áre about to see one of the gratest momentos in human history whatever the outcome shall be .
Thanks 👍❤🇺🇦
A retired General should still be referred to as General, not Mr.
One very, very clever general.
Why the hell is he not in the American government?
Mr Hodges, your talant and expertise is being wasted and thats a shame for the democratic societies of the entire world.
Because he is smarter and far more sensible than they are, so they can't tell he's smarter and more sensible.
The clever tend to be avoided by the unclever in charge.
@Ukie88 very true! 😁
❤
Ben should run for President
Yes! He's an actual adult and he's sensible! He has many more qualifications. Those simple ones bear mentioning, bc they've been absent.
Nice comdey
This guy is always good to listen to Ben Hodges and agree with much he sais .
But im fed up of all the bullshit regards Usa not wanting Ukraine to be a Nato country .
They should be within Nato as bring more than most within Nato today .
OK...I like the Generals input here. Putin is not going to get a free pass from President Trump. Wait and see.
He is a brilliant man.
Crimea has been Russian since the varangian guard ran Kiev Rus.
Good questiond.from interviewer
It's not Mr Hodges, it's supply clerk corporal Hodges. And that's President Trump to you corporal ben.
1. Ukraine has many college educated graduates that are engineers, medical field specialists, IT specialists and other specialties. They have a good start to help a new Ukraine rise from the ashes like the Phoenix. 2. Ukrainians are nice, polite, humble people but make no mistake about it they are warriors too. Ukraine has to hit the means of making war real hard. Every day knock out facilities the make things that kill Ukrainians. Wear Putin down while Russia's economy falters. 3. Ukraine should get all the funds that have been frozen since Crimea was annexed. 4. Also, the IMF will go to Moscow yet again to arrange funding to keep Russia going and avoid a Hitler type leader taking over Russia. The world does not need a Russia that is in disarray. 5. The West has to stand strong against Putin and also closely watch Lukashenko of Belarus, Orban of Hungary, Erdowan of Turkey, and Fico of Slovakia, since they like Putin a lot. Xi Jinping, and Kim Jong Un already are close friends with Putin. Only some factors needing addressing as time goes along.
This guy should have president or national security advisor. Not Trump.
🇺🇦🇪🇺🇩🇰
putin should step down and let Russia become sane again...
His opponents in "elections" have been insane though too, the latest, a nazi.
Salve Ukraina. Deus Vult !
The General is quite right why the Ukrainian military is having problem with their inventory that’s why it affects their fight and he knows that there’s enough weapons pre approved but the Delivery is very slow. Again he is critical with the Biden’s administrations support to Ukraine that’s very limited to just not lossing fight but not winning this war, this is very true and we know the capability of the UA ability to fight this war if there’s superior advantage supply of sophisticated weaponry specially from the US arsenal this war could be over now. The personnel shortages from the Ukrainian side isnt a problem because most of the fight in the frontline is dominated by Drones, Artillery and missiles that does not need more personnel but their stock should be sufficient to continue the intensify day by day. Another missing in this fight against Russia is their lack of fighter jets that can be utilize offensively and defensevily if they have sufficient fighter jets they can easily get back those occupied territory as there’s so many advantage if you have the air superiority. Now that the Russian military is also having shortages of their military inventory is the right time for Ukraine to advance their attack if they have sufficient amount of weaponry and hopefully the new administration will notice it and give Ukraine military support they badly need specially if Putin disagree with Trump’s peace propasal. SLAVA UKRAINE.🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
He'll be saying the same thing in 2 years
American has gained a HUGE amount of intelligence about Russia from Ukraine. We would not have had that information otherwise. Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union so they know how their military is structured and what tactics Russia uses.
As Gen. Hodges says, it's astonishing how Ukraine has held off and even invaded Russia without (a) virtually no navy (b) virtually no air force and (c) no permission from the US and European suppliers of weapons to use them to take out the bases inside Russia from which bombs are coming. They also had very few tanks but captured approximately 500 hundred from Russia, making Russia by far the main supplier of tanks to Ukraine.
I wish the US and Ukraine's other allies would follow Ben Hodges advice.
Ukraine should be part of NATO now.
Ukraine needs to gets it’s all 20 yr and plus into its defence .. so that it can actually win
Ben Hodges said it so eloquently. It is in our best interest to draw this war out than it is to give them everything they need. Meanwhile hundreds of thousands have paid with their lives. It's just evil.
The proper manner in which to address general Hodges is “General” his retired status notwithstanding.
I wish General Hodges would explain why he thinks the Ukrainian people don’t trust their government to properly train and equip their soldiers, while he himself says he’s been so impressed with the quality and fighting ability of the Ukrainian defenders. Is this for lack of a better term a “marketing” issue?
Hodges is a deep state/WEF puppet. He only parrots what they tell him to say.
The Russian federation is not falling. Groceries are cheaper in Moscow than in DC. When the USSR collapsed, the food stores were empty.
How can the UNited States say it is in favor of international law and respect for sovereignty when the US president is talking about invading Greenland and Panama?
We decided education. That's the basis of the explanation. The rest would get my comment taken down though true.
He won't do it. He doesn't have the power to make the decision. The Joints Chiefs of Staff won't do it. Denmark protects Greenland & they are not concerned. They're making joke memes like they did about vacuuming the forest after he thought if they just cleaned them up we'd have no fires. Take no jokes seriously. He says these things then drops them once someone quietly explains to him. There are more vital matters to watch like the topic here. We need to defend Ukraine. As Putin has proven himself a loser as the General said, we have to hope that filters through in a helpful cognitive manner & that he realizes Ukraine is the far stronger ally and best choice. He won't touch Panama or Greenland. It's like he wonders things aloud as if plans. Those are not plans. Assisting Ukraine on n remaining intact & sovereign must be the plan. Russia will maneuver on other directions otherwise, and fail but cause further pointless suffering and destruction. Finland has had reports on agitators being sent in to destabilize in advance as was done in Donetsk & Luhansk, located them and closed the border. Romania is on guard. Countries to the east too. Putin is obsessive about regaining imperialist status and minerals and gas & oil. And he's not sensible. His generals don't see sense at all either. Trump chooses tv hosts to fill key positions. He cannot however appoint the generals in charge of our military and he cannot give them orders. A US prez is military head in name only. It's honorary. Military experience is required & essential. They, out of everyone, can stand firm about strategy and plans. They will not invade Greenland, Panama, Canada, or Denmark. No. Way. Europe in general not just NATO would stand against us, hardcore. It would bring war here. They won't let him.
The people are in favor of sovereignty and respect international law.
Even his supporters, bc they are xenophobic, want us to stay home & take care of (in their case, solely) domestic matters.
In the end we are also alone. Now Russia is terrified that that they will be alone. If the federal States break up there is nowhere to go outside the federation. Russia is in a precarious situation.
Russia has expanded BRICS to include 55% of the world's population (wirh more countries in the pipeline) whilst driving Nato towards the West..... The world is taking note. Does this signal the end of exceptionalism, Imperialism and the former colonial masters? Brave new world appearing?
Should the U.S. be dusting off the Marshall Plan?
Trump would be wise to appoint General Hodges to a leading role.
😂😂😂😂😂
It's a great pity to see a general in such a shameful act. Morale had turned almost 180°to the realty on what had past and present in Ukraine situations.How come general?
One issue: the US is NOTA serious about defending Tiawan.
Corporal Hodges (supply specialist), needs to be arrested and extradited to the US for treason.
With Russia's nuclear capability battle readiness , clueless Ben Hodges knows it's impossible to dictate to the Russians, let alone "prepare for Russia's eventual collapse"....
It's unbelievable that we have such characters in the west's militaries
Troll alert!
I’m not agreeing with Mr Hodges regarding the draft age for Ukraine. These young men and women are more likely to survive than the older generation. The fact is that Ukraine has decided this policy and it’s wrong.
May I respectfully suggest that the phrase " end the war" should not be used, but instead use the phrase "Ruzzia to get out of Ukraine" . There would be no war if Ruzzia had not invaded Ukraine, and the war will never really end if any Ruzzian military presence is allowed to remain in Ukraine.
I hope so without Trumputin.
Sadly, he is lying on face.
So who gets the nukes?
A hedgehog aint no porcupine
General...i thought u were from Alabama
If Ukraine gives up more territory, they will cease to be a country, for all intents and purposes. What's left of Ukraine will just be on borrowed time.
In my own mind, I have an outline of deal. 1) Russia and Ukraine withdraws to Feb 2022 boarders and Russia pulls all its military forces away from Ukraine; 2) it rescinds the recognition it gave to the eastern provinces of Ukraine and allows Ukraine to impose a peace; 3) Russia allows Ukraine to choose its own destiny. That would include ascension to the EU and eventually NATO; 4) it allows the population (2014 and prior) in Crimea to vote for either re-integration with Ukraine, outright independence or union with the Russian Federation. Said vote organized and overseen by the UN. In exchange, all sanctions against Russia would be immediatley lifted and every effort made to help its economy recovery quickly and strongly. It is in no ones' interest to have an economically devasted, suspicious, angry, resentful and seething Russia. Every effort must be made to help Russia recover once a just peace has been achieved. It spans nearly 12 time zones -- nearly half of the northern hemisphere. It is 2nd to none in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) and the arts. Oh, least anyone forget, it has an arsenal of nearly 10 thousand thermonuclear warheads that it can launch and reach targets in less than 40 minutes. It needs to take its rightful place as a guarantor of the peace and prosperity of the world, not a provocateur of its destruction. But, for all this to happen, I think Putin and his henchmen need to go. There needs to be a political change at the very top of the Russian government ... God help us all ...
ukraine is a europe problem, not an america problem.
Fsb will dictate
Trump will fuck it all up.
This amateur interviewer is a terrible mess. Ben is a good and wise mam.
Putins found himself in the corner of a round planet. Only problem is he might lash out with a lobbing match.
Ako je Rusija tako slaba, zašto ukrajina želi u nato??🤔🤔🤔
Given the current situation in the USA, I'm not so certain that I want to see Russia completely collapse. Doing so could pave the way for global corporations with a "drill baby drill" mentality to gain even more power, which, in my humble opinion, is something we should avoid.
How can people be so delusional??
Man, I feel your pain. I am scrolling down the comment section, and its a total disbelief... these people literally believe Ukraine is about to conquer Moscow any moment. Its like completely different universe they live in. Ben Hodges at least gets paid to say that nonsense, thats his job. But the herd commenting here.. nothing I've ever believed possible
@ivanstanchev2731 i guess propaganda works well for the simple minded and the uninformed
Its President Trump
Don’t expect Russia to fail quietly
Why not? They did in 1991 and the West helped them a lot back then. I doubt the same will happen this time and I hope it's a painful lesson that they learn from.
@ we shall see but this has been a decade if not longer in the making. Putin wants to reclaim Ukraine for the same reason nato is so adamant about defending it, untapped resources and strategic access to the Black Sea.
The bigger they are, the HARDER they fall!
yeah - drunks usually make a lot of noise when they crash. buckle up ruskie.
Putin is threatening to seize deposits made to banks. The people know it and deposits have nearly frozen. Russia's broke. He's seeking funding desperately. They have fallen repeatedly in history and he still thinks like the Khanates as do his generals. Look at their medieval tactics. Cannon fodder methods using NK troops... Be won't quit bc of greed for resources & bc if he surrenders he'll be in front of a tribunal at The Hague for war crimes. He will fall. Russia will fall. Again.
But, are you a cynic or here for your daily potato? Bc here. 🥔
Ucro dreams.
The motor heads for defense.
I am sorry, I am not in the defense sector. I know this sector is important. Man makes movies about it. Promoting war. That’s why it stands today. Normal people don’t have the prejudice spirit that Defensemen have naturally. Normal people just work jobs and enjoy life.
The defense sector is tough because you like the script this way.
Anyways, I hope y’all work out your latest lies about freedom! Freedom is world wide! Prospective is everything. Don’t listen to society. You got a government joker in your back pocket? Only in the wallet
How many Ukrainians actually speak Ukrainian as their first language ?
80% of the country 😅
@@samsungtap4183 probably Portugal should take Brasil, Angola, Guiné, Moçambique, etc 😆 what about Spain, england France 😆🫡
8 + minutes into the video and talking non-stop about stuff other than what the title of this video is about.
Hodges has been consistently wrong, about everything.
🥔
you do realize that this is his standard answer for why we lose wars right? and that this isnt his first or even second war hes been on the wrong side of?
Is this video post a joke or a parody? 😂😂😂😂😂
Is that like putting up celebratory party supplies in the event of Axis defeat?
🥔
@WildWoodsGirl65 Ah!
It's the Luka Signal
UKRAINE'S WINNING! 😂🤡
🥔
😂😂😂😂😂
The man does not know what it means to win the war and yet he is the General
And Russian generals are just masters of strategy I guess?
🥔
Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall also reap. Here is the Bible way to Heaven. Dear Jesus I know that I am a Sinner, I deserve to go to HELL, please forgive me of all my SIN and give me ETERNAL LIFE. I'm not TRUSTING in my WORKS, I'm not TRUSTING in my RELIGION. I'm only TRUSTING in my FAITH and BELIEF in you JESUS CHRIST. Thank you for SAVING ME. Amen: Grace through Faith by Salvation it's the only way. ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED! No matter what!
Unfortunately Trump has also fallen victim to such characters
Are you talking seriously?
Jan’s accent is very annoying and unlistenable.
Never trust a military person who dyes his hair.
That is the most pathetic comment I have read 😂
