- Gen. Petraeus tells ABC News there's no way for Russia to win even with nuclear escalation.
Russia has no path to victory in its war against Ukraine even with the threat of nuclear escalation says Gen. David Petraeus on ABC's "This Week."
Russia attacked the Ukrainian president’s hometown and other targets Sunday with suicide drones, and Ukraine took back full control of a strategic eastern city in a counteroffensive that has reshaped the war.
Russia’s loss of the eastern city of Lyman, which it had been using as a transport and logistics hub, is a new blow to the Kremlin as it seeks to escalate the war by illegally annexing four regions of Ukraine and heightening threats to use nuclear force.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's land grab has threatened to push the conflict to a dangerous new level. It also prompted Ukraine to formally apply for fast-track NATO membership.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced Sunday that his forces now control Lyman: “As of 12:30 p.m. (0930 GMT) Lyman is cleared fully. Thank you to our militaries, our warriors," he said in a video address.
Russia's military didn't comment Sunday on Lyman, after announcing Saturday that it was withdrawing its forces there to more favorable positions.

He might not win....but he's not going down alone.
yes he can bring kadyrov and lukashenko down with him
Stop being a wuss.
Exactly bro, Why would the kremlin retreat his troops completely and give back the key cities. You would think he has accepted defeat. he has threatened to use Nuclear weapons, and to the majority these are empty threats. But this is a government that is desperate for success, Russia is feared by its neighbors for a reason. The Kremlins about to show the world what he’s really about. 🧨
And in No way am I siding with the Kremlin, I am just stating NATO and Ukraine are underestimating The Russian Government’s desperate need for Validation.
The iron bank will win or it will be burnt to cinders. Pick your future.
He already has won. Kind of embarrassing that people need to type these things on RUclips comments to feel better about something they're completely and utterly wrong about.
The last time a nuclear weapon was used in war, only one country had access to that power... and it was limited power. When multiple nations have a vast supply of nukes with far greater power than what was used against Japan, it's an unthinkable option. So using the US bombing of Japan as a precedent is a false equivalency.
Yeah at the time firebombing mostly wooden structures in Japan was more effective in terms of lives lost than the nukes could have ever been
Also, the USA had been attacked by Japan so had to conquer them, plus the USA did not 'annex' any Japanese lands.
What the fkk do you mean it’s a false equivalency, you literally said, “The last time a nuclear weapon was used in war, only one country had access to that power…” Do you NOT see that that’s exactly why it’s terrible that we set that precedent? Are you serious dude?
@@carly4513 Japan is a vassel state of the USA. The US has several bases on Japanese islands and basically use Japan as a vector. You really think Japan isn't?
@@moosesnWoop Japan is not a vassal state of the USA. It's merely an Ally of the US. The USA has bases there at the request of the Japanese government.

Freedom is overestimated, just because some leaders say you got freedom in order motivate you fellow their agenda doesn't mean you got it, they go on with this freedom nonsense over at Russia also
Morons (like you and this dumb general) are deadly.
Finally some insight instead of shouting propaganda.
NOPE
Who’s freedom? Americans should die for filthy Ukrainians.
1.4-1.7 million US casualties were the estimate for Operation downfall. 20+ million Japanese was the estimate for casualties. So what would have been worse?
This will End Very BADLY
as opposed to the fantastic way it began?
For Putin especially.
for russia yes.
Just don't attack Russian territory,
Everything will be fine.
Ukraine have shown great Deceit on RUSSIA.
They probably deserve what they got.
They should both go back to the Minsk Agreement.
All of this is because of the Fool Zelensky.
Kick him out of office.
He brought chaos to the world.
What a clown
This General is senile.. Us led NATO killing Russians would automatically turn to WW3 cos Russia is weaker and would be forced to use nukes. Any mass deployment of nukes would cause a nuclear winter and block the sun and eliminate life as we know it. Somebody rein this General McArthur in

@@innihbassey6369 ah yes the nuclear threats that cnn invented
Who cares... Lets go nuclear!!!!!
so great argument from you with all sources too!
Yes Petraeus is mistaken. Massive conventional attack by US will invite full blown nuclear response from Russia. In a fight to death, Putin doesn't care if nukes are supposed to be "illegal" or "immoral" weapon. He will use whatever he has.
Kind of strange that the media is treating a War update like a taping of ESPN First Take.
This first started in Iraq war. With stats being reporting with infographics etc. War has been gamified.
That is how "Propaganda" works...nice catch.
This war has no video. Iraq did. Only staged events. All propaganda on the west side.
Maybe because Russia stopped being taken seriously after the 6,864,799,457th nukes threat LOL
Is this guy for real?
He’s a joke he said US and west wouldn’t lose to Taliban he was apart of the conflict he was destroyed
@@omnadrener1 You're the joke. They are talking about use of nuclear weapons. Did the Taliban use it?
This is absolute insanity. The unthinkable is being thought about.
Yes but in a week the RTX 4090 is released.
This sleepwalking toward a nuclear abyss is being driven by greed from DC. It looks like one final extraction of "wealth" from our country before they cause our final collapse. IF nukes do fly, I just hope to live long enough to hear that DC has become a glowing hellscape.
Worse than thought about! Putin and his lapdog Lavrov have threatened to use nukes on the US and the UK (and specifically stated they could send a 100 meter tall radioactive tsunami over the entirety of the UK from submarine torpedoes with an insane 100 MT yield, which is twice as large as the Tsar Bomba) from the beginning and all through his special military operation. They repeated nuclear annihilation threats to NATO this week in several speeches. Putin is pure evil and crazed enough to do it. He
has had his entire family in nuclear
bunkers since the invasion.
This coming from a general who couldn't win his own war.
He's a clown
What war?
Won the wars, left the occupation. Iraq War won , afghan war won, no oil and got boring.
I guess that's why he knows that Russian will not win.
What else could this guy say if I think something its so 🤔 always telling one-sided stories
Why didn't Petraeus get charged for sharing sensitive national security information with his gal pal?
Because it's not sensitive information. Dum dum dum
I agree
Correct. No one wins
scorpion wins
But who will lose less...?

@@stifflerantique259

These are the guys responible for the fueling of war.
Gen Petraeus is absolutely on target; any use of a nuclear weapon might have a massive conventional counter attack on every "Russian shooter capability" along the entire battle front and all Russian naval assets in the Black and Baltic Sea. The use of nuclear weapons is a threat to humanity and hence should not be tolerated.
The last time I checked, it is the US and NATO threatening Russia with Nukes. Russia is only responding from rhetorics of mad generals
NATO has had 7 months to develop targeting scenarios. As Patreus mentioned, Russia stands to lose not only troops and tanks, but perhaps their entire Black Sea fleet.
@@the42nd That's the start of WW3. It's silly for us to get nuked for getting involved in the conflict directly.
And the idea that such a response by NATO which would attack Russian troops when it itself was not attacked (so much for “defensive alliance”) by Russia wouldn’t result in a guaranteed nuclear response attack on Poland and other countries from where such attacks were launched, progressing to nuclear winter is so delusional that it’s genuinely idiotic people seriously talk about this.
@@russ_6214 oh pffft you guarantee? you can't guarantee anything because you do not know, I do not know, intelligence agencies don't know. Its all speculation and calculated risks. What is certain is this... you and I know very, very little about what is actually going on. it seems reasonable that a nuclear detonation without a heavy response would set a dangerous precedent and embolden Russia, something the West doesn't want as it may encourage China. Russia got away with annexing Crimea, MH-370, assassinating people on foreign soil (yes both sides have don't bad stuff). But unlike in those situations, Europe and NATO is united.
The USA did not set a precedent in the Atomic bombing of Japan. First, Japan had attacked the USA and started the war. Second, after the USA understood the devastation of the atomic bomb, the USA has not used one. The precedents set by the USA are better found in wars in which the USA did not win conclusively but did not use nor threaten to use nuclear weapons, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Viet Nam and Korea. These were five wars the USA engaged in, eventually pulled out of without a clear victory and DID NOT use nuclear weapons.
@@peter11947 We should have. Now North Korea has nukes.
Bambi, you should read a dictionary sometime. Maybe start with the word "precedent". That might clear up your confusion.
Hey Bambi, boo hoo.
Because none of those countries threatened US Territories.
But they Nuke Japan anyway, even though they were winning.
Makes you wander if he is telling the truth
Petreaus is a BSer.
He’s a schill.
one nuclear attack could lead to all out nuclear war.I think the General underestimated the real danger here
Agree
*Joe
Poland has already asked NATO to place some nukes on their territory. Just in case....These Eastern European nations know what Russia is capable of. Even before Putin, but I feel that Russian Generals will move against Putin before they agree to any nuclear attack. Putin is already trying to blame them for the failure in Ukraine, so it's getting real right now.
Absolutely cq
I dont think you know more than a general
It's not about winning or losing in nuclear warfare. It's about the damage death and changes to the planet and atmosphere
Grow up! Put a solar panel on the back of your tank and let's find out what happens even if we went to All Out thermal nuclear war the world would not end yes it would be very different but it would not end too many people don't understand how these weapons work and the aftermath that they create it isn't what you think it is unless they're salted
We blew up around 2000 nukes inside the United States during testing guess what the United States still exists
I may never have seen one however my senior walked out and touched the Titan to everyday while he was enlisted they knew what the capabilities of the weapons were they didn't know the target that was pre-programmed

This is a very strong message towards Russia. It should have probably come sooner, but it is awesome that the response plans of the U.S. are out now for case of a nuclear escalation. This is very reassuring, not only from a Ukrainian perspective, but also from a European perspective. A huge thanks to our friends across the pond!

and won with ukrainian generals and elevated their technology in the cold war with ukrainian scientists.
It was Russia who made the ultimate sacrifice to end WW2 get your facts right.
Yes that's true ; during WWII it was the British Ships that delivered US food, boots, etc to USSR.

@@alexchavez3244 I was being generous and included that in the "food" comment above. :)
I’m not convinced in the wisdom of revealing the response America and the West would make if Putin does go nuclear.
Quite the opposite. It needs to be broadcast loud and clear, instead of endless talk about what we're NOT willing to do. He even needs to see us putting capabilities on the on-ramp for the occasion.
Putin is all ears to hear the west's response. He must be told what would happen if he dare press the button
@@yakamen You might be right. But I think it’s obvious America/NATO would/will respond so that doesn’t really need to be stated.
Why give Putin a heads up as to what that action would be - since when did you let your enemy know your plans in advance?
@@josimpson7999 I agree with you tactically. We definitely don't need to share battle plans ahead. Though strategically we should broadcast high-level intentions. "If you do this, we will destroy your Black Sea fleet," should be said. What we shouldn't disclose to be sure, is how, when, with what means, etc. Fair points, I think our disagreement is minor =)

What on earth does he mean by “the use of tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield won’t change things at all”? I’m confused by this. Are Ukrainian soldiers so strong they can survive a nuclear blast?
if they are spread out, damage would be limited. But Putin will bomb the west of ukraine, where the weapons come from, not the actual battlefield.
Everything on RUclips is propaganda
@@Kay.D Yes including cat videos 😂😂. Stop it. You're not fooling anyone
He's saying it wouldnt be enough to stop Ukraine from winning. Russia cannot fight on a nuclear battlefield, their military is not organized to do so
he means if Russia use tactical nuclear weapsons, Nato will use it too. wasn't that hard to understand.

@@MichaelArchangel-cg9kd - Ukraine should keep fighting to get back all of their territory, including Crimea, it’s their last chance to get it back.

General! Excuse me...can I get a word in, Sir? lol
Watch out for the Ivans in the comments…
Putin said the U.S. set the precedent when it used nukes in Japan. He was as much saying...'Now it's my turn!' Putin also alluded to 'whichever way the wind blows'. If he did do the unthinkable in Ukraine, I'd imagine it would be when the winds are moving from east to west to carry the radioactive cloud across Europe rather than into Russia. Favourable atmospheric conditions.
Finally! Someone else who thought of that. One nuke alone would devastating for that very reason.
but Putin needs the military to launch these weapons and the US has basically said it will destroy the Russian military forces in Ukraine with conventional weapons if it does this. So why would the Russian military launch such a suicidal mission for themselves it be easier just to take out a weakened Putin at that stage, that would then be the path of least resistance
I hope they launch, the sooner the better.
This warmonger probably said the same about Afghanistan. These monsters are provoking the use of nukes so they can use them too. They predict the future because they plan it. They will loose control of the situation and we will be the ones to pay.
If Putin use nukes hed poison his own people through Fallout
Why is scott ridder saying different..
Gen. David Petraeus should join this war
If they put this much energy in finding a peaceful solution, rather than who's bomb is bigger, the world wouldn't be in the shape it's in.
The west will not rest until they have conquered Russia. China, SE Asia, Africa, the Americas, the Middle East… all fell to Europe. Russia will fall too.
You can't negotiate with a crazy person or an evil person.
You mean like when they tried to come to the table multiple times, and the Ukraine refused and then the US sent more weapons? That type of peaceful solution?
Peace Corp..NO OVERPOPULATION..
there were many off ramps that Russia proposed right up to the 24th of February and the US and UK refused to let Zelinsky negotiate. They wanted him to go to war.
Just letting your know, folks, that we’ll either live together or die together. Don’t listen to the BS factories media.

General was high! 😁
A renowned historical figure Henry Kissinger, who was National Security Advisor under President Richard Nixon, said "We are at the edge of war with Russia and China on issues which we, the US, partially created without any concept for how this is supposed to end. I think the current period has great trouble defining a direction, it's very responsive to the emotions of the moment"
Essentially, emotions, however diligently buttoned down, as seen by General Ben Hodge's carefully modulated tone, are bringing us toward World War 3. This is a man who was in his twenties when actual nuclear weapons were used and the horrifying power of these 'biblical', 'supernatural' weapons was on full display. It is a path of no return.

It's about denying the west or Ukraine from possessing the area of eastern Ukraine that does not border Russia. The reason being that he has to keep Turkmenistan from building an oil and gas pipeline to Europe that bypasses Russia through the Caspian sea. This is what the war in Syria was about too. That pipeline was from Saudi Arabia. This way, Russia still has outsized influence over Europe because they control it's largest source of energy.

The tactical business is a very limited weapon -would not be surprised he announces location in advance --most likely an unpopulated area -- he is a tricky guy.
Hubris makes you think you can hide in a bunker with the other 'crazies' and survive a re-entry vehicle equipped with multiple 'city busters'
He's not called General Betray-Us for nothing.
Yes lets listen to the opinions of US Army generals on the ongoing war that we are fueling. This certainly isn't a fetish for them.
If Putin decide to use nuclear weapons, he will also have to decide the targets.
If he were to use them against civilians in cities, he would be left with North Korea as his only friend.
If he target some military base, just about empty of soldiers, or he bomb some weapons storage area, also not filled to the brim with the most advanced weapons, it would be very costly considered the damage inflicted and a damage that could be done by conventional methods anyway.
If he were to use it at some strategic point, somewhere along the front, not only Ukrainians, but also Russian soldiers would be burnt to crisp; how many Russians would accept that as being OK..?
USA still has friends and they bombed 2 cities with nukes after firebombing Tokyo. Also flattened all of NorthKorea not to mention what happened in Vietnam or Iraq

Go study history.
North Koreans defeated gen macarthur.
Vietcong defeated gen.westmoreland.
Rag-time goat herders with sandals and AKs deafeated NATO AND THE US. 🤣🤣🤣
Soviet---and now Russian---military doctrine has always stated that nuclear war is SURVIVABLE.
For the cockroaches maybe
The sacrifices of the innocents and all warriors and fighters for Ukraine will not be in vain. Glory to Ukraine!
There was a video on here somewhere a couple of months before the war where a top general said Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine.
And this is pure populist story 👏👏👏
If Russia uses nuclear weapons game is over. We no longer want to play with Russia. WE KNOW IT TOO. This General has no clue.
If I am Putin, I will put the 300000+ reservists on the frontline, move all his elite troops underground with enough food to last 6-12 months. Launch 2 tactical nukes on Western Ukraine, 1 in Lviv and 1 Uzhhorod and demand Ukraine to surrender immediately. Any firing from any NATO members will trigger WW3. Cut off all back channel communications with the West. 2nd wave of low‐yielded nukes will be next if Ukraine does not surrender in 1 week. NATO playbook after that is self-assured destruction or give up Ukraine.I hate to say it but I choose the latter and so will NATO.
I thought Sicilians love a strong man
Here's a question for Captain Combover...how can you be losing a war and gaining territory at the same time?
6k Nuclear warheads. U can send money as much as you want. Nothing that General P says is more then 50 percent probability. US will need to negotiate thats it.
