Hodges: 'Ukraine will liberate Crimea by the end of August IF...' | DW News

- A collection of leaked US intelligence documents suggest Ukraine's air defenses could soon run out of missiles.
The reports dating from February appeared on social media sites and appeared to detail US and NATO aid to Ukraine. Their contents suggest the US has been spying on both Russia and Ukraine's military, and gathering intelligence on its NATO allies. The US Justice Department is scrambling to find the source of the leak, with officials saying Russia or Pro-Russian supporters are likely behind it.

#Ukraine #Russia #UkraineWar
This aged horribly.
As every prediction that comes from Hodges. He's eloquent and I like him as a person, but as a supreme commander I would rather not employ a general who consistently, over 2½ years, underestimates the enemy.
6:49 Didn't age very well 🤣🤣
Just proves retired generals have just as little idea about the future as the rest of us.
he wasn't wrong. he said if ukraine is provided with weapons
@@carlosvile9832 He is wrong all the time. For example, at the question "how do you expect this to play the next months" he answered that we will see a very effective attack that will isolate Crimea (did not happen).
By the end of August you should interview again this guy please
Don't worry, it will happen. Just like last year, remember?
When he said Ukraine will take Kherson by autumn.
@@alfisti93 They said at april 2023 Crimea would libeated , they also said Mariopol would be taken back by February 2023, they also said Russia attacked Poland last year and Russia ran out of missiles last year as well and many many lies spread by the west. Keep cherry picking your narrative.
Yep, after failed UA offensive where he will point out they won some land back and lost 20 brigades worth of troops for it.
There are two roads through mountain passes from the north into Crimea. These are obviously well defended. If the Ukrainians get this far they will be depleted.
Can we add that other military guy who's been claiming for a year now that Ukraine will fall 'within a week' to the same interview (sorry, I forgot the name. Was it Douglas?? Just for the lols
I will come back on August here to see how accurate this is.
by then he will just have said that ukrainians didn't get the weapons they asked for
Don’t bother...
You probably should archive it then
I know right they have been consistently wrong so probably will be again.
Exactly. He’s going to be very wrong.
You have never went up against a capable military 😂😂😂😂.
welp, that didnt afe well…
This guy said the same 1 year ago 😂😂😂
Overly optimistic? Sure. I still have to agree with his point that the West needs to say that they want Ukraine to win and take steps to make it a reality.
Half-measures just draw out the timelines and give Russia hope.
You want them to empty their stockpiles for Ukraine? This is a proxy war not an all out war.
This is nothing compared to Hodges's optimism over Afghanistan.
Spring offensive become summer 😂. By the way shallow discussion
anybody keeping score when these predictions fail yet again?? interesting times seeing all these haw-haw. putin was supposed to die from cancer by last year 😳
I think the focus is more on keeping bullets in their weapons and shells in their guns than giving them aircraft that they can't fly right this minute in time
The fact that US would spy on allies is not a surprise. Neither is it a surprise that other countries in Nato would spy on each other also. That's completely normal actually and to say "spying" isn't even saying much because under that phrase "spying" there are covered many activities, some of which are even well known and completely accepted by all Nato countries themselves. I really don't see much issue with this "supposed" "bomb shell leak".
Ukraine gives the US intelligence and visa versa. I don't think it's James bond level spying, more keeping tabs on the ground.
Trusting america is foolish and insane.
One of the issues here is that people who have access to this information presumably also have access to more sensitive information.
At the same time, disclosing such information, even if publicly known, goes against all contracts and shows massive unprofessionalism of someone in a position of considerable status. Hence why finding out whether this information was stolen or disclosed by someone in a position of power is critical, to avoid further such even more important leaks
The international poker game where everyone is cheating
Sure, it's all "completely normal". Even having your main "ally" wiping out the most strategic energy piece of infrastructure for the continent, everything normal folks, nothing to see here...
This did not end well.
this didn't age well. Hodges is delusional
Seriously we are well aware that a intelligence agency gathers information that's not a secret
These often also simply evaluate existing data, only much more professionally than you can.
For real. They think this doesn't happen.
True, but in many case they FAIL to take precautions when they receive valid information, like when LZ Ross was warned in 1970 that they were going to be hit by the T-10 Sapper Battalion and detailed HOW they would be hit. This information was obtained by one of the seriously wounded and dying members of the T-10 Battlaion! NOBODY listened, nobody was prepared and numerous American Marines and soldiers were killed and wounded! End result, a Colonel was relieved...but that didn't bring back the DEAD and WOUNDED!
It's for the media. Click bait. Anyone with a brain already knew this... Egypt has played both sides for decades. The US spys on it's allies and it's allies spy on the US. There's limited ammunition stock piles...
Whats new
I’ve only seen reports but to date the information contained in the (allegedly) leaked reports has all been there in the public domain. Obviously any security breach is bad, but this one looks pretty benign.
4:04 One reason why Chancellor Scholz has described the question of supplying German F-16s as irrational may be the fact that the German Air Force has no F-16s at all.
F-16 is outdated only newbie military country would want to have it.
He didn't say it was irrational for *Germany* to send F16. He said it was irrational to send F16, regardless of country. Or any other such jets for that matter.
they are an old air frame with first flight in 1979 . After a few years of usage they have been sold as exports for the last 40 years . Germany does not want 40 year old planes they make and use MODERN planes .
As a certain Ursula von der Leyen once said, while she was still German defense minister: "Die anderen haben Flugzeuge die fliegen" (The others got plane that are flying).
@JH ah so you are denying this but don't deny he said that it is irrational to send F-16 (which he didn't because there are none)?
I don't give a f* what he said, but he didn't say anything regarding German F-16s. He found it irrational to think about sending fighter jets. That was around January and as long as no one is sourcing Scholz saying it would be irrational to send German F-16s 🤦♂️, I won't make the effort to send a link of a "Scholz fighter jet" Google search. Because, as I said, I don't give a f.
This didn't age well lmao
Ummmm....these counteroffensive predictions of war aged horribly wrong.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh well done!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS GENERAL, YOU ARE A GENIOUS!, A MÁSTER! 😊😊😊😊 👍👍👍
Ben Hodges has been very consistent with his perspective. He's been saying that Ukraine needs precision long range artillery to disrupt the Russian operations and logistics since last summer. He also has been consistently saying the NATO allied countries need to stop dragging their feet on transferring Mig fighter jets to Ukraine. I believe he was saying that in March of last year.
If the Russian airbases in Crimea were not operational the Russians would have a more difficult time providing air support to the front lines, especially on the southern front. If the Russian navy thought their ships were not safe in the port of Sevastopol then they would move those ships out. Without air and long range support, the Russian army would have a harder time holding onto their position in the southern front. The sooner Ukraine gets what they need to end this quickly the better.
😂😂😂😂😂
Ben is nothing but a warmonger clown.
Come on Sweden, send those friggin Gripen already 🇸🇪
Stop farting!
NATO wants a protracted war of attrition to weaken Russia as much as possible, any decisive intervention is contrary to that goal.
You must be out of your mind!? Have you ever been in war or even served? Have you ever hold a rifle or even seen one?
You can NOT beat a NUKE power, NOT in a war like this , where RU has declared priority ONE. They didnt annexed all those regions just like that. And dont tell me how long does this last, because if you knew how long did it take for US to break down ISIS in Mosul , it would be clearer to you, that when there is fight in/for cities, all the adventage of a superior army can be reduced.
Hodges on point as always. There's no breaking into Crimea, especially Sevastopol, without long-range precision weapons.
Your precision weapons are being jammed this could suggest they are. being spoofed or gps is not working .years ago shipping was reporting in the sea that there position was not far from the the airport in Moscow spoofed,.
@@karlyoung1713 - Not really those long range weapons are Ukrainian...our weapons like HIMARS are accurate? Saying that I'm sure the Ukrainians will fix their problems
😂😂😂😂
He’s nothing but a warmonger clown
😂😂😂😂
They have long range missiles already. One thing to consider also is that if Ukraine is able to make it back to the sea of Azov in this counter offensive, which I think they will, the Kerch bridge will be within range and the entire peninsula will not be able to be supplied at a sustainable rate. Not just for war supplies, but everything else as well, supporting a population there military or otherwise will be untenable. So I think that's what will happen, they will block it off, destroy the bridge, target aircraft and ships, but otherwise focus to the east while supplies in Crimea dwindle. But who know's I'm no general.

@@babuvangu7220
For your education given your silly drive-by reply, there were some M16 introduction problems, jamming issues, not blowing up. A long quote follows from *The Tragic Failure of the M16 in Vietnam* by Bob Orkand and Lyman Duryea.
Problems appeared immediately. Soldiers were often not adequately trained to maintain the new rifle (in fact some were told the new rifle was “self-cleaning”), nor were they always given cleaning supplies or instructions.
The harsh jungle climate corroded the rifle’s chamber, exacerbated by the manufacturer’s decision against chrome-plating the chamber. The ammunition that accompanied the rifles sent to Vietnam was incompatible with the M16 and was the principal cause of the failure to extract malfunctions.
The result was the M16 often jammed, making the rifle “about as effective as a muzzleloader,” in the words of one officer. Men were killed in combat because they couldn’t return fire until the malfunction was cleared.
Congress investigated and the rifle and its ammunition were incrementally modified, greatly improving its reliability over the next few years. Troop training was also improved. But the damage to the M16’s reputation could not be undone, and many soldiers remained deeply skeptical of their rifle through the war’s end."
and Bakhmut falls to spicy Russian shovels... bravo genius.
Why doesn’t the interviewer note that Gen Hodges has been very optimistic about Ukraine’s capacities AND unusually accurate, while the more “realistic” people have been wrong time after time, starting with the belief that Ukraine would fall in 3 days?
EXACTLY! He called Kherson, which fell even earlier than his prediction.
My point as well. It's almost like he actually knows what he's talking about. Because, well, he does.
I'd like to see him run for President in the USA myself.
Ukraine would fall in 3 days IF Russia wanted to invade the whole of it. Problem is, Europea media has been selling that lie and if after a year you don't see Russia's real intensions, well, you have been brainwashed.

Yes, pretty much. If the Ukrainians are able to cut the land line to Crimea in the north and destroy the Kerch bridge in the south, Crimea could turn into a second Kherson.

That's not fair to him. He said the USA was winning in Afghanistan in the early 2010s, which is when he was in command in Kandahar and when we had the most success. He also expressed confidence in the Afghan units that went on to be the best commandos. After we shifted away from Afghanistan to invade Iraq he was more critical. Now he's one of the few who calls out the many mistakes made, especially with Pakistan.
His record for strategic analysis is sound. It's his attempts to carry out aimless policy from Washington that failed.
Of course Germany has denied sending F16 to Ukraine. That is because Germany does not even have F16 in use.

General Ben Hudges is absolutely right. I don't understand either, what is the point of helping Ukraine in the war if it is not to win it. It simply makes no sense. On the contrary, at the moment it seems very messy and as if the alliance does not know which way to go and what to do. Ukraine must have F16 aircraft, so start training their pilots asap. And give them the missiles they think they need most, long-range artillery, anti-aircraft defense, etc.The longer it is dragged out, the more death and destruction. That's for sure.
who is gonna die for it? you?
They have been giving them the weapons to win it. They just can’t win against a big country like Russia. The U.S can’t win a war against Russia alone.
Point of war is too weaken Russians economy, so that it can breakdown. Russia is a big country formed by several republics rich in natural resources It's a big win if all theses republics fall apart.

Is it because it will be unpopular or is it because they want to keep the status quo?
A big IF.
The West started this conflict in 2014 and even further back in 2008 when the West began arming Ukraine in breach of the Friendship Accord that both Russia and Ukraine signed in 1998.
You should look into Chevron vs Zobinger.
Very interesting
There are actually some really good reasons not to supply F-16s. They are rather demanding on what runway they need and maintenance intensive. It's limited in effectiveness by being limited to specific airfields and will put a large additional strain on logistics. Doesn't mean you can't send something else
They (Poland, and Slovakia) have sent other aircraft, but their is nothing else that will turn the tide...Maybe the Mirage but Ukraine needs SEAD capability..strapping HARM missiles to a MiG-29 is not going to cut it.
The Swedish Gripen would be a better fit for Ukraine as it is designed to operate from local paved roads and from unpaved fields.
@@Nebris - Ukraine is current operating from paved roads...Ukraine does not need air superiority, they just need SEAD capability.

What an amazing leaked intelligence report... Weapons are finite
Of course, this kind of information was deliberately released in order to brainwash people and make people see how NATO is slowly withdrawing from the game and leaving Ukraine in the lurch.
News to me! Except they weren't, in many cases, in WWII, for the US. IIRC we were even manufacturing some aircraft faster than we were using them, at the close of the war. I guess even there, steel is finite, but it will last at least another week or two, I'm betting.
And look at Russia, they are manufacturing, for all practical purposes, NONE. They certainly impress me, and not in a good way. One of their own universities just put out a report that showed car manufacture down 67%, and they haven't even hit the vertical part of the economic drop yet. As the Beatles sang, "Back to the USSR".
"Ukraine will liberate Crimea by the end of August": Sometimes it's hard to tell wish and reality apart...
Why did you keep the "if" part of what he said out of this "objective" post of yours?
Atleast he did not say "in three days" on this one. Also considering how much territory they took back on the last offensive when they were not nearly as well supplied, it is plausible. Assuming that everything goes right for Ukraine and everything wrong for Russia and Russia did fumble alot and will most likely do so again. It's highly optimistic but it's still very possible.

She had just reported that the leak may have come from Russia itself - if it did, then alarmism regarding Russia's impending air dominance would be playing directly into Russia's hands and rewarding them for their strategic leak. The mere possibility should have her behaving much more conservatively with these questions.

People describe Crimea as a peninsula, but it's only a peninsula if you are Ukraine. If you are Russia then Crimea is actually an island, and that makes the logistics (which Russia is already not that good at) a big problem.
If Ukraine prevents Russia from having a land bridge to Crimea then Crimea falls to Ukraine (maybe fast, maybe slow, but it falls).
You don't seem to understand how important that port is to russia.
@@Thea-gj2or oh I do... the whole situation is a God damned mess... I actually contemplated a longer comment that would go in to it... but I didn't have the time.
