Thank you Katie Bowen for all of your current and awesome interviews which always shines light on all issues. You always ask the most informative questions from all you interview. Thank you! Please keep your awesome work up🎉
It is always a privilege to be able to hear Ret. Gen. Ben Hodges speak. He brings a sense of calm, understanding, and determination to every show that has the wherewithal of having him on. This was a fantastic interview and did a great job of covering the important topics relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in a short time frame

@@Ridethebomb777: You are factually wrong. Hodges is a senior director of a charity that donates significant amounts of cash to Ukraine’s cause. He knows Zelensky personally. He maintains friendships and regular contact with insiders in NATO and the UN, as well as America’s armed forces. And he remains at the highest levels of clearance for intelligence communications. Given that no one sees Hodges as anything other than an informed campaigner, supporting Ukraine and raising international awareness, your comments are ignorant in the extreme. But that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Vatniki. So don’t feel bad about your abject failure. They didn’t give you much to work with. Feel bad about the destiny of your soul instead. That’s far more imperilled than Ukraine’s future.
Respect and appreciation for General Ben Hodge’s professional opinion on this issue. I am ok that the General is outspoken and clear about the necessity for Ukrainian victory on the battlefield
This is the West's war against Russia. The USA and its vassals are always meddling into other countries' affairs, destabilising regions and causing wars. Yes, this war also was caused by the West. They have no reason or right to push up Nato to Russia's borders.
Ben illustrates the true quality of the US military senior officer corp. Technically deep, articulate and committed to freedom and democracy. Times editors take note: Kate is by far, your best interviewer. She asks good ,open ended questions, and then allows experts like BH educate us.
How can you "agree exactly" with such nonsense. Please inform yourself from other sources. What he says is just nonsense. The battlefield outcomes look almost exactly the opposite of what he says: Ukraine has lost the war, and decimated its young population. Please think of those poor Ukrainian soldiers dying in such huge numbers. Being pro-Ukrainian should mean caring for its people, who are now just dying for nothing, since Ukraine has already lost the war.

If only General Ben was the National Security Advisor ... Ukraine would have won this war already. Always love to listen to General Ben Hodges - his analysis is the best!

@@russellspeed1693 his narrative is getting stale. joe bidens goal has never been to win. winning would mean destroying russias oil and gas infrastructure by giving ukraine tomahawk cruise missiles with a 1500 mile range to destroy pipelines, refineries, pumping stations and oil fields across the breadth of russia. Joe can't do that because his idiotic green agenda has already kneecapped american energy system and drained the SPR. Loss of russian oil would cause oil prices to spike and doom his government. I would like Hodges to address the opportunity costs of the monies wasted on this war.

12:58 Excellent point about fatigue in the west; we're not the ones doing the fighting yet we feel like going back to business as usual; Star Bucks, muffins, Netflix, pride. The west should pray that it doesn't get to experience trench warfare because the men that qualify for that kinda "fatigue" may not show up, and they ones that are left can only do it for a short period of time before it becomes a "drag".
Yes, agree with you. I think one thing we are overlooking here, is that ukrainians are very tough, and they hate russians in THEIR country. They will go on and on to throw them out, but we in the west must ensure they get everything they need.
Trump gave Afghanistan 🇦🇫 to the Taliban by way of his ludicrous agreement! He did it on purpose because he knew he lost the election and wanted them to blame Biden for the messes he created! Pure evil 👿 !
This guy is a clown. Ukraine taking Crimea is a pipe dream at best. He knows that but instead of being honest he continues to lie to the public. The 4 regions that Russia annexed are gone. They arent going back to Ukraine. What Ukraine needs to do is to try to hold on to Odessa and not become a landlocked country. At this point I doubt they could even hold on to Kharkov. A peace deal would include Ukraine keeping both Kharkov and Odessa and surrendering the 4 annexed territories to Russia. It's easy for Zelensky to continue to send young men and women to die in futile attempts to attack a superior Army and take the territories back. This guy has been telling fairy tales since February 2022 , and the sad thing is that some people actually believe him. I remember 18 months ago he said on national TV that Russia had completely ran out of ammo 😂😂😂. The "Reddit Bro's" actually believed him and were telling everyone to " watch Ukraine steamroll the Russians ". Well....it looks like the other way around. Ukraine is getting literally steamrolled in Adiivka, which is the most powerful fortess that they have. The best brigades were stationed there. But now they are being decimated in large numbers and retreating. These are FACTS. The Ukrainian soliders on the ground are sending videos to their superiors and publicly refusing to follow orders to go on suicide missions. It's sad. This war is basically over. It's just a matter of how far Russia continues to push.
This hybrid general has been wrong about everything in ukieland. Seems his tactics worked so well against goat herders 🤣🤣🤣🤣 BTW hybrid= half more-on half id-iot
Ben Hodges, Mark Golitelli(apologies if spelled wrong) and other generals should have a special episode together talking about Russia. I hope Times Radio sees this comment.
"Russia will cease its active war within 10 days. It lacks three things: time, manpower and ammunition" (Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, March 14, 2022)

Very insightful and informative. The recent invasion of Ukraine is a chapter in a long story. It can be hard to monitor on the 24 hour news cycle but it is THE most important foreign policy issue to the U.S. and the rest of NATO.
Ben Hodges is not only the most knowledgeable of military commentators, a excellent speaker and communicator, but also blessed with a gentle enchanting Texan drawl. ❤
God bless The United Kingdom! It's always good to hear what Gen Hodges thinks. He is level headed and experienced. I wish that my president would take the general's advice. Slava Ukraini! From Champaign, Illinois, USA.
@@e.j.schoute1987 I hope you can get yourself a better job. That is just pathetic trolling. The US actually didn’t give a damn about Russia, and that hurt Putin‘s pride. and if Russia weren’t so unceasingly aggressive, there would be no need for NATO.
UK Storm Shadow was the shorter range version. SCALP the French name for Storm Shadow (It was a jointly developed weapon) has the longer range. More fuel in tank less payload. UK could supply longer range version. I Hope UK is building some more new ones or have something even better, they have certainly proved their value.
Incorrect. France and Britain agreed to supply only the 'unitary' standard model. The elderly missiles are co-manufactured from parts bins comprising components from both countries in both countries. The British just chose a pretentious name. As Kiev has misused the missiles and broken the agreed restrictions stated by both donors the question of sending any more is moot. French stocks were low from the start and only one 'tranche' was set aside. Ben Wallace failed to consult with the British Chiefs of Staff and probably sent too many. As they can only be carried by Ukraine's S-24s and few of these planes remain it is not likely that more will be sent. Announcements that adaptations to Su-27 planes allowed carriage of the missile were misleading as welded racks failed in all tests. Had they succeeded there would have been a need for heavy fighter cover because of performance loss in all respects. In 2019 Ukraine had 30 Su-27s and by December 2022 had only 12 in working order. As a British tax payer, I could wish that they had never been sent and would definitely oppose sending any more weapons to such a corrupt and misguided regime which has no regard for the lives of Ukraine's people.
Best interviews on this channel with these two. As a U.S. Republican, I can only hope that the Senate Republicans get their House counterparts educated. Its’s frustrating how so many of them don’t understand history, geopolitics, military logistics, or the wider impact this war has on the future.
We the US of A Are really trying to hold back, as A veteran from the central US Navy veteran the dynamics are constantly on my mind call where I come from the heartland and we have crazy people. On occasion we elect one
Great interview with Ret. Gen. Hodges, thank you ! I hope President Biden is listening! Great point about "fatigue" which I hate hearing repeated endlessly on many channels...we in the west suffer from "attention fatigue" about everything. I am still waiting for the US to declare that we Stand with Ukraine until they WIN. And let's give them what they need to WIN. 🇺🇦 ❤ 🇺🇸
Yet you'll soon find out that what he says is not even close to the reality on the ground. Ukraine has been defeated. No amount of weapons or clever tactics will change that.
DATELINE KYIV OBLAST Welcome back, sir. Excellent update. Thank you. V/r - IB An American in Ukraine (2019 - Present) UKRAINE : [THE OTHER] "LAND OF THE FREE AND HOME OF THE BRAVE!" УКРАЇНА: "ЗЕМЛЯ ВІЛЬНИХ ТА ДІМ СМІЛИВИХ" СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ! | СЛАВА ЗСУ! | ГЕРОЯМ СЛАВА!
The situation is nothing at all like Hodges depicts it. The reality is that Ukraine has lost the war. Those poor soldiers are dying for nothing: they keep at it just because the US orders them to go on. Hodges is simply depicting what he'd like to see happen, not what is actually happening.
Informative? It's misinformation!!! Almost every word is false. As for his suggestions - make Crimea untenable, etc. - are just ludicrous: there is simply no way to implement them. Ukraine has lost. Hodges should counsel Zelensky to stop struggling to prolong a lost war, and spare the few troops he still have.
@rose-mariemukarutabana9001 Your source of information please. I have watched numerous accounts of people who are actually in Ukraine. If your source is Colonel McGregor, then I suggest you open your mind.
One thing is to say: we are with you as long as it take, and other thing is say I will be with you and help you until you win. When Rusia hears that, they will say. oh wait... let's talk.
" we are with you as long as it take" is mere incantation. "Magical thinking", says neocon Richard Haas (you may google that and see for yourself). The war is lost, he says, incantations won't make Ukraine win.
@Times Radio: What a great interview - Great came questions & time given to explain in debt - thanks to both Kate (sry miss`d the last name) & Lt/Gen. Ben Hodges - excelent.
10:51 - Zaluzhny meant "deadlock", not "stalemate" (acc. to Ben Hodges). I had that feeling. I agree with Hodges. Clearsighted, factual, and should-be-eye-opening words from Ben Hodges, as always. Thanks for inviting him. Cheers from Denmark.
Always love the interviews Kate brings to us on RUclips, and its always a pleasure to listen to Lt General Ben Hodges he talks cense, and my sentiments are the same as his as far as the west wringing there hands over what Ukraine can or not have, and all the time they dither Ukraine is dying, and a prolonged agony and a slow death so get your finger out U.S.A. and Germany.

wow man. the guy has failed at everything hes ever done but you over here pretending like its the second coming? dont you ever get tired of losing?
I hope that general Hodges is secretly advising General Zaluznyy
@@e.j.schoute1987 oh, come on.
@@e.j.schoute1987 I hope you can get yourself a better job. That is just pathetic trolling. The US actually didn’t give a damn about Russia, and that hurt Putin‘s pride. and if Russia weren’t so unceasingly aggressive, there would be no need for NATO.
@@PatriciaGoodsonpianist and Russia doesn't care of US, it is just cares to keep NATO further from its borders, like US does with its enemies
well said!
UK Storm Shadow was the shorter range version. SCALP the French name for Storm Shadow (It was a jointly developed weapon) has the longer range. More fuel in tank less payload. UK could supply longer range version. I Hope UK is building some more new ones or have something even better, they have certainly proved their value.
Incorrect. France and Britain agreed to supply only the 'unitary' standard model. The elderly missiles are co-manufactured from parts bins comprising components from both countries in both countries. The British just chose a pretentious name.
As Kiev has misused the missiles and broken the agreed restrictions stated by both donors the question of sending any more is moot.
French stocks were low from the start and only one 'tranche' was set aside. Ben Wallace failed to consult with the British Chiefs of Staff and probably sent too many. As they can only be carried by Ukraine's S-24s and few of these planes remain it is not likely that more will be sent. Announcements that adaptations to Su-27 planes allowed carriage of the missile were misleading as welded racks failed in all tests. Had they succeeded there would have been a need for heavy fighter cover because of performance loss in all respects. In 2019 Ukraine had 30 Su-27s and by December 2022 had only 12 in working order.
As a British tax payer, I could wish that they had never been sent and would definitely oppose sending any more weapons to such a corrupt and misguided regime which has no regard for the lives of Ukraine's people.
Thanks Kate, and thank you, General Teddy bear 🧸 Hodges.
Thank you General Hodges! Your perspective is always appreciated
I have so much respect for Ben Hodges, he's a retired military person but also a humanitarian.
Best interviews on this channel with these two. As a U.S. Republican, I can only hope that the Senate Republicans get their House counterparts educated. Its’s frustrating how so many of them don’t understand history, geopolitics, military logistics, or the wider impact this war has on the future.
General Hodges is the best!
Excellent interviewer, and an interesting and illuminating interviewee.
We the US of A Are really trying to hold back, as
A veteran from the central US Navy veteran the dynamics are constantly on my mind call where I come from the heartland and we have crazy people. On occasion we elect one
Great interview with Ret. Gen. Hodges, thank you ! I hope President Biden is listening! Great point about "fatigue" which I hate hearing repeated endlessly on many channels...we in the west suffer from "attention fatigue" about everything. I am still waiting for the US to declare that we Stand with Ukraine until they WIN. And let's give them what they need to WIN. 🇺🇦 ❤ 🇺🇸
Excellent and informed commentary
Please have Ben on more often... 👍
Ben Hodges should either come back from retirement or run for Office
Yet you'll soon find out that what he says is not even close to the reality on the ground. Ukraine has been defeated. No amount of weapons or clever tactics will change that.

About time we heard something about the most important conflict since ww2 in Europe from the Times .
Nothing about conflict is important. Nothing about war is important
What a gorgeous interviewer !! Love to meet her someday in person.
If only US politicians had Ben's attitude ...
They do. That's why we are in this mess
They would never get elected, particularly in places that pronounce 100 as “hunnert”
Thank for explaining in clear details the situation around the Ukraine war
The situation is nothing at all like Hodges depicts it. The reality is that Ukraine has lost the war. Those poor soldiers are dying for nothing: they keep at it just because the US orders them to go on. Hodges is simply depicting what he'd like to see happen, not what is actually happening.
It's great to have Kate back ♥
Best interviewer on YT and together with Ben they make the absolute dream team.
As we all now it is not what crimeans think, your "back", is their occupation.
My favourite host and my favourite guest
What a clever man. Thanks for the excellent interview.
It's ALWAYS good to listen to General Hodge's. Hello America 👍☘️
Always a good interview with Lt General Hodges.
Very informative and easy to understand.
Informative? It's misinformation!!! Almost every word is false.
As for his suggestions - make Crimea untenable, etc. - are just ludicrous: there is simply no way to implement them. Ukraine has lost. Hodges should counsel Zelensky to stop struggling to prolong a lost war, and spare the few troops he still have.
@rose-mariemukarutabana9001 Your source of information please.
I have watched numerous accounts of people who are actually in Ukraine.
If your source is Colonel McGregor, then I suggest you open your mind.
No body in the USA could imagine that a foreigne nation could separate Florida or Texsas or California from the USA.
Great spokesman, and I agree with him 😊
Before Russia abandon crimia Ukraine would have to be a dust. Why do guys like this in the video just lie or talk nonsensical things
hard fact! well said
Terrific overview. 👍🏻
One thing is to say: we are with you as long as it take, and other thing is say I will be with you and help you until you win. When Rusia hears that, they will say. oh wait... let's talk.
" we are with you as long as it take" is mere incantation. "Magical thinking", says neocon Richard Haas (you may google that and see for yourself). The war is lost, he says, incantations won't make Ukraine win.
@Times Radio: What a great interview - Great came questions & time given to explain in debt - thanks to both Kate (sry miss`d the last name) & Lt/Gen. Ben Hodges - excelent.
10:51 - Zaluzhny meant "deadlock", not "stalemate" (acc. to Ben Hodges). I had that feeling. I agree with Hodges.
Clearsighted, factual, and should-be-eye-opening words from Ben Hodges, as always. Thanks for inviting him.
Cheers from Denmark.
Really good to see General Ben Hodges back being interviewed by Katie. As usual, an excellent interview. Thank you both. Nicholas
Wise words from Mr Hodges. Well said Sir!
Very good guest 👌 interesting perspective
Remember Stalingrad Ben ? Remenber Vietnam Ben ? Remember Afghanistan Ben ? No … that’s why you’re retired Ben.
on point!!!!
Respect🏆
Always love the interviews Kate brings to us on RUclips, and its always a pleasure to listen to Lt General Ben Hodges he talks cense, and my sentiments are the same as his as far as the west wringing there hands over what Ukraine can or not have, and all the time they dither Ukraine is dying, and a prolonged agony and a slow death so get your finger out U.S.A. and Germany.
