Unfortunately Mr. Hodges tells the truth. Already from the start, all those debates, NATO, EU, at the beginning of the war, we started sending helmets, vests? It is one big shame. Maybe people in the West need to be confronted directly before there will be a real reaction. What future will we face?
@@user-fq6dr8fm4o Be truthful, 1932 holodomor killed MILLIONS of Ukrainians and allowed kremlin to take economic control of Donbas. By year 1990 there were over 4-million ruzzians in Donbas trying to own Donbas and break free from kremlin taxation. These ruzzians corrupted Ukraine and ran their own mafias in Ukraine. Putler saw the opportunity to call these ruzzians "Ukra-nazis" and use the politics to confuse the world. putin and Wagner mercenaries invade Crimea. putin built the Kerch War Bridge to wage war on Ukraine and Europe. putin always intended to exterminate Ukrainian culture in order to make the bridge more secure for war on Europe. Talk about the past and talk about the future that ruzzia delivers against all decent cultures that are NOT mafia-centric. Ruzzia corrupts Belarus and seeks to corrupt (ruin) Ukraine completely.
Thank you Mr. Hodges. I wish the American politicians were just as intelligent, as you are. Very depressing to day hearing Trumps candidate for vicepresident. His views about the future of Ukraine were a copy of Trumps, even worse. As an European, I am so worried about Ukraine. But of course also about Ukraines neighbours in the long term. I honestly feel, Europe not can trust U.S. any longer. The perspectives are scaring.🇩🇰🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
As an American I just want to say have faith. Don't listen to the polls they are never right. Nothing gets us fired up like roe so women are gonna come out in droves to vote for Biden. I've got my money on Biden. Maybe I'll be wrong but I don't think so
Couldn’t agree with you more on much of what you said, but also Europe has not lived up to its responsibility. Military spending and preparedness must rise even at the expense of socialist and green programs across the EU. Saying you have met the established spending today when it does not compensate for all the years it was not met is BS. Take a look at the man who may one day control your destiny and evaluate the likelihood of him funding climate change projects. Grow up…and get serious.
and to add insult to injury, Trump's ratings are up to 57% and billionaire Elon Musk is donating $43 million / month to his campaign .. If Trump gets in, democracy as we know it will end.. it is terrifying, and I am (thankfully) not even American!
Thank you, Gen. Hodges and Mr. Smart. As an armchair General, sitting here in the US, I find the current situation very frustrating. After the untold amount of money that we, the collective "west," have expended in the last 75 years, specifically to be prepared for Soviet/Russian aggression, I fail to see why we still cower in fear. Russia is no longer a superpower, yet we still treat them as if they are. Their military is weak, compared to Europe or the US. Their economy is destined to crumble. They are the preeminent pariah in the world. And yet, here we are. And our choices in November are the worst we've had in my lifetime, (a 68 year old). Biden at least "supports" Ukraine, although his adminstration's piece meal approach is ridiculous. And Trump is a loose cannon. J.D. Vance as VP? He might as well have chosen Marjorie Taylor Greene, for all the good it does Ukraine

The USA was exactly the same at the start of WW2. Limited support until they were attacked. And then it took a couple more years until they entered the fight in force.
With the hipster Sullivan as secretary what to expect?. Biden thinks he is entitled for a second term being under the influence of stupid "politically correctness" catastrophic ideology that is diminishing the intellectual and creative power of USA.
This is pure scaremongering! Russia will never think of attacking NATO just because it may have defeated Ukraine. Its not only suicidal, it would be a global nuclear armageddon. Don't know why you guys don't understand this, or are you pretending not to get this in your sculls? Stop playing with a crazy guy with that huge stockpile of nukes.
Prime Minister Stammer has now backtracked on that statement now. I guess they were pressured by their former colony. I could listen to General Hodges all day. Wish he was in the White House.
I’ll be voting against trump but I still feel terrible voting for biden when he REFUSES to explain (along with the rest of the western leaders) the “limited support” policy towards Ukraine.
I think Biden’s objective is a negotiated armistice agreement between Russia and Uk, like the one that ended the Korean War in 1953. This will have to involve the front line being frozen in place and turned into a DMZ. Biden’s problem is, that he publicly committed in 2022 to a “No Ukraine without Ukraine” policy - meaning that Biden can’t approach Putin and negotiate a ceasefire over Zelensky’s head (which is what Putin wants to happen). So Biden wants the initiative for a ceasefire to come from Zelensky, not himself. But Biden doesn’t want to be accused of blackmailing or abandoning Zelensky - that would be a political disaster which would cost him the U.S. election.
I was Trump supporter in 2016 and 2020 I’m originally from Ukraine My parents are still in Ukraine, they are 84yo, both blind, mom broke her spine couple months ago. I moved to live and work in Europe to be closer to my parents and visiting them once every 3-4 months. Besides of all unspeakable cruelty of russians towards my people: bombing every single day, thousands of people around without legs and arms, scary! to see kids with no eyes, no legs is a heartbreaking, no electricity 4-10 hours a day and now it’s over 100 degrees temperature! Europeans are blaming Ukrainians that they came to Europe and breathing European air. Americans are blaming Ukrainians why are they still alive and fighting instead to die and shut up. No news about Ukraine you can see today besides negatives about corruption in Ukraine. All Americans are like Biden and Trump, so all Ukrainians are like Zelenskyy. I see tons of Russians in Europe pretending they are Ukrainians. Very sad. I have American passport, education and job. But when I see what Ukrainians have to deal with my heart breaks. Europeans are treating Ukrainians like Ukraine attacked the Russia. Something is not right in this world. I don’t know what Trump thinks. He never introduced his views. On debates he kept telling how great President he WAS. But wall with Mexico never been built and Mexico never paid for wall. Oh well I’m going to Ukraine in couple weeks. Maybe Russian rocket will kill me this time.
The Ukraine issue is one of the few I disagree with Trump - however nobody knows what he actuall will do. But in a national election, Ukraine would not be my deciding aspect.

Many are under the illusion that it's either fix the immigration problem at our southern border, OR, support Ukraine. One does not exclude the other.

Neither smarts nor cajones can be so plentiful so as to make up for the utter lack of the other. POTUS had the former and lost the latter long ago, and is now operating close to the absence of both. He joins Sullivan in that distinction.
Mr. Hodges you're opinion is probably the feeling that most people have, tho we might not have access to certain intelligence driving decisions. I tend to agree with you all other things being equal I agree with your general assessment. I hope our politicians take note. I'm more worried about unpredictable behavior on the part of North Korea and Iran as opportunistic.
General Hodges is correct. Russia isn't going to use nuclear weapons. What is infuriating is how cowardly the USA is showing themselves to Russia. What happened to standing up to bullys? It gives other countries pause to come to the USA if USA ever need help.
Does US policy come exclusively from the White House? What role does the Pentagon & Armed Forces play? It’s always seemed bizarre to me that this fear of escalation policy should be in the control of a couple of people…?

As always, General Hodges is brilliant and blatantly honest in his assessments of this war. I can only imagine how different this conflict would look if NATO and Biden had Ben Hodges leading our response.

This administration has been too weak and wishy washy on the Ukrainian issue. I agree with General Hodges wholeheartedly.!
General Hodges always brings the best analysis.
Hopefully future Secretary of Defense under Pres. Trump.
This bloke is a gentleman and a scholar. What a diamond. Cheers Governor!!
Does US policy come exclusively from the White House?
What role does the Pentagon & Armed Forces play?
It’s always seemed bizarre to me that this fear of escalation policy should be in the control of a couple of people…?
My pro-Ukrainian comments are being deleted by RUclips without notification! This is a form of thought control.
It's the algorithm they've used to monitor what'd debated. It picks out specific words and so it's bestinmyopinion you do somethingsimilar

@@whoisme678 fun fact: they are not deleted, just 'downvoted' into oblivion. You still can find them if you sort the comments by 'newest first'
It is a RUclips bug.

@@steffenpanning2776 unfun fact: Nope they are just gone. I have my comment history open and refresh it over and over and I watch them appear and then vanish from my history seconds later. Not my first rodeo and I am aware of what YT is doing. I normally keep posting and changing the wording until YT stops deleting them. I have a list of some words that are automatically deleted by them, not anything offensive and often random.
Ben Hodges is the only voice in USA that sees it clearly.
As always, General Hodges is brilliant and blatantly honest in his assessments of this war. I can only imagine how different this conflict would look if NATO and Biden had Ben Hodges leading our response.
A possible reason for General Hodges lack of traction maybe the very fact that he is an American and that irritates French and German sensibilities
Just remember he was a CIA director his interests are not for Ukraine but for the USA.
I’m NO military or political strategist but what the West and the US is doing with Ukraine is akin to what the US GI was facing in Vietnam where the military had its hands tied behind its back while fighting the NVA and the VC..
