Kudus to General Ben Hodges for his mission to bring clarity and pertinent analysis to the war in Ukraine. Any deal and or win for putin will just bring more pain and disruption, not only to Ukraine, but the rest of the world.
It is unconscionable, and totally incomprehensible, as to why the U.S. is tying Ukraine's hands and preventing it from stopping the ARCHER, and not just trying to destroy the arrows, day after day, ad nauseum. Enough already!
For every Ukrainian escalation, Russia can escalate by factor of 10. And US is afraid of Russia testing their(the US) red lines without getting into direct confrontation.
@@h2didenkov None of what you lay out is accurate. Biden and his family have enriched themselves around the world for the past fifty years and particularly when he was Vice-President, as demonstrated in the Burisma scandals. They have recieved hundreds millions of dollars in futures markets AND at least nine million dollars from russians. Germany had 82% of its russian business fully operational after the second main invasion in February 2022, while France maintained 74% of theirs. The corruption levels in the west are staggering. Yet, Ironically, these same countries are the ones excluding Ukraine from NATO due to its "corruptiion", which any conscious and honest obeserver can see, has been addressed in a large scale effort, now currently undermined by its judiciary. While true, the west feigns fear over nuclear weapons usage by little putin, but someone in the collective genius of the west, has never asked how can one nation, use nuclear weapons against another that it borders? Ukraine counterattacked in Kursk, and russia did nothing along those lines. It is very sad to see Ukrainians lives, viewed as being so cheap, when compared to maintaining business relations with putin's mobster state government. They did absolutely nothing in 2014 when putin invaded Donbass, with soldiers not in uniform. Obama sent Ukraine BLANKETS in 2014 to defend themselves from russian aggression. BLANKETS, and Germany delivered military helmets. The facts are that the west was perfectly happy to see Ukraine fall to putin in 2022 as their again military genius predicted it would fall within seventy-two hours. This had me wonder, if any of them had ever even met a Ukrainian. If Ukrainians had to use stones, sticks, and spears to defend THEIR country and THEIR culture with THEIR blood, as they have done throughtout this criminal act of russia they would have done so. But since they embarrassed putin's grand army of thugs, rapists, murderers of civilians en masse, not including those tortured in their torture chambers throughout occupied Ukraine the west was SHAMED into supporting Ukraine as it should have done in 2014. But Obama thought snide comments were more useful than bullets... Ukraine now knows, it must become fully independent and develop capacities to arm themselves, so they can defend themselves, as they deem appropriate. But until that time comes, they have to accept restrictions on weapons usages dictacted to them by the US, Britain, and France. True Allies, do not speak one thing, then do quite another. Ukraine is learning what Israel has known for some time. Promises of protecting their nations soverignty from the US, Britain etc, are meaningless at best. It was the US, Britain, and russia, who pledged and promised to maintain Ukrainian sovereignty in 1993, in exchange for Ukraine surrendering its second in the world sized nuclear stockpiles back to russia. Political speeches are long, but memories are short. But Ukrainian's are highly intelligent and do not forget promises made. Slava Ukraini! Heroyam Slava!!
They must have some deal with the Chinese. It's a betrayal of our values, economic interests, and our security. We will be paying for the terrible damage caused, if there is still a country to rebuild.
@@luke250829 I meant the Général was one of the actor of Iraq illegal war 2003 under false evidences ( with Ukraine in the coalition) this guy is a war criminal and should be onto justice
From Sun Tzu to the 36 Strategems to Clausewitz's On War, counter offense is considered an _essential_ part of any defense. Ukrainians get this and seem to be excited to see the war coming back to Russia. The people decrying it as stupid are the same people that Hodges referred to as not knowing anything about warfare.
It’s as if they don’t realize that DDay was a counter offensive - but sometimes i think we have a lot more paid russian schills in the west than we think
Hodges was wrong in 2022, when he assessed the Russian offensive. He was wrong in 2023, when he rosy-eyed about the prospects for a Ukrainian counteroffensive. He was wrong before, too, when he said that Russia would not dare to put words into action when the alliance began to expand again against its security interests.
No Hawking, you need to read the history books...the French and British FAILED to stop German aggression before WW2 when they had the opportunity. If we fail in the same opportunity against the orcs, we will justifiably suffer the same or a worse fate.
@@samsungtap4183 As a German, I want to chime in. We are guilty for what happened in WW2. We started an unprovoked war by invading our neighbours. We have systematically deported and killed millions of innocent people. This was only possible because the vast majority of Germans were silently complicit with the crimes of the Nazi regime and put our heads in the sand. Now the same is happening in Ukraine. They face an unprovoked invasion and genocide. If we as German people want to heal and redeem ourselves from our past, we can not sit idly by. Sitting idly by is not enough. We have to be on the right side of history this time. We are in debt and it's time to repay that debt. As a German I fully support Ukraine and in the spirit of what Gen. Ben Hodges says, I wish my government (and the entire West for that matter) did more and defined a clear objective for Ukraine to win.
I guess Ben Hodges, who I respect very much, is ashamed that the US doesn't turn out to be the kind of ally that we all expected them to be. It must be clear to Europe that they need to focus on a more independent power to defend themselves because who knows what happens to the support of the US when the shit start hitting the fan here in Europe.
That’s not true. Rushing quickly into things will only get you in trouble. You have to have a strategy and it takes time. Ukraine is not losing it’s still going strong. It will win you will see. Trust USA they know what they are doing they are not dumb. They see the whole picture that you don’t. You can’t just pull one country out without consequences in the whole world.
The US should be kept as key ally but stop rely on their often changing, irrational, unethical or terribly short-sighted policies. Europe isn't a simple "thing' , from Germany to Baltics, UK to Hungary.. But( orban will go) we have to take our steroids and go back to the gym pump up some muscle, and learn in sparring (yes yes, very scary) how to use our fist, elbow, shin, knee....
Well maybe, but the risk remains where the Ukranians might escalate and play tit for tat a d attack a civilian location and later say: Oops...we meant to attack an oil field. Ukranians can't be trusted that they will shoot at the right targets. Hopes and prayers tho

Ben Hodges was the general touting the big Ukrainian offensive last year that failed miserably. He's not the best subject matter expert on winning IMHO. Not all generals are good at their job.
Fighting a defensive War doesn't mean just sitting back and taking it. That's a mental block of uninformed people. Think about Muhammad Ali when he performed the rope-a-dope on George Foreman. Ali still had to come out on offense and he knocked Forman out to win the fight.

We can't blame America if Ukraine limits its attack on Russia because there might be a nuclear war and those two big countries like China and Russia come together. We know that America is two countries that share their weapons.
@@josephprzygodzinski3653 If that was true he wouldn't be pushing Russia's patience to the point that endangered the whole of mankind by Russia using nuclear weapons. Hodges can't admit that its the West that provoked Russia into this senseless conflict .Putin has been willing for a long time to negotiate a longtime peace plan for all of Europe including Russia, and Washington turned it down. If this is what you mean by Hodges having "more common sense than anyone you k now" you are just as deluded as Hodges Podges.

@@Alejandrica Has nothing to do with payment. Besides that, Ukraine pays. With with money, and with blood.
@@abodabalo ukraine pays with moeny ??? if west dont give money , no money even for pension , what s wrong with you ?? And pays with blod ??? Here i dont uderrstand this , ukraine pay blodd for west weapon to be given ??? West wanna blood ?? And why nato want blood ?
@@Alejandrica You understand well. Ukraine paid with its bombed economy and its blood for Europe‘a safety. Keeping Russia out. Which is actually NATOs job
They need much more help from nato led countries. Nato can liaise between the nato countries.
Why doesn't GBH run for POTUS!
Australia?
The Red Army. 🤣

Bravo Russian Federation Military 💪🇷🇺🇷🇺🙏💪👍
I love General Hodges!
😂?Cass! This guy lives in a different reality!
I search for, & watch every video the General is on. He is everything I've always admired in the Colonels & Generals I've met. My dream is that he could be our next Secretary of Defense.
....from a former Army NG, Lt. (non-combat)
We can't blame America if Ukraine limits its attack on Russia because there might be a nuclear war and those two big countries like China and Russia come together. We know that America is two countries that share their weapons.
Hodges needs to go to a Ukrainian training facility for civilians ,he needs some training in common sense.
General Hodges has more common sense than anyone you know.
@@josephprzygodzinski3653 If that was true he wouldn't be pushing Russia's patience to the point that endangered the whole of mankind by Russia using nuclear weapons. Hodges can't admit that its the West that provoked Russia into this senseless conflict .Putin has been willing for a long time to negotiate a longtime peace plan for all of Europe including Russia, and Washington turned it down. If this is what you mean by Hodges having "more common sense than anyone you k now" you are just as deluded as Hodges Podges.
@josephprzygodzinski3653 common sense to work for defense contractors and promote war as his job requires.
@@h2didenkov He is retired.
@@h2didenkov you get your information from too many far left sources. The reality is the opposite. General Keane is another bastion of common defense.
Well said General Ben Hodges. clear and always to the point
