The depth and breadth of that interview was extraordinary. If only Gen Hodges was required listening for all European and US political leaders! Well done Jonathan
Always a pleasure to hear Ben Hodges speak on this conflict. It's hard to disagree with the need for longer range, precision weaponry for Ukrainian's self defense.
i don´t know why but i think the procss to deliver long range and best weapons is little by little process. it depends about the evolution of the war. everything is studied
Lt. Gen Ben Hodges is the most wise expert we have in this cruel war. No hysterics, just intelligence, honesty, and courage. Thank you for the interview. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
@@andreme7326 doubtful, but nice try at deflection...he is MAGA and so am I. If the voting public had been more astute and voted to have Trump in a second term, rather then Bidope....there would be NO war in Ukraine. (actually I think they did....but then there is election fraud to contend with)
His knowledge about the history of Eastern Europe is great. Most people don't realize that Stalin was as bad as Hitler or even worse. This is the opinion of my grandmothers.
Thank you for inviting General Hodges. I'm a US Navy veteran and went to university for my Master's in History when I was nearly 50 years old (purely for my passion of history). I have found Gen. Hodges analysis to be the most insightful I have heard about this war.
It's always a pleasure to listen to Ben Hodges. He has seen and done so much for our country and his wisdom is unmatched. Thank you both for all you do. Much respect 🙏
It is always great to hear experienced voices like General Hodges speaking plainly and sensibly about what needs to be done to ensure peace and security in Europe, via a decisive Ukrainian victory in this war. Thanks for the insights, and the great interview.
Easily one of The Leading Experts on the current situation in Ukraine and the plausible outcomes and timelines, General Hodges is well spoken and a pleasure to listen to. This interviewer does a great job and 53 minutes flew by. Subscribed and liked. This channel should have a lot more subscribers - if this is the calibre of talk and quality of guest.
General Hodges is the best commentator I have come across on the Ukraine war. It is reassuring to know that such men have been - and I hope still are - in key positions within the Western Alliance.
It is good to have General Hodges on our side! Our outlook in Poland on the issues discussed is similar. Thank you kindly for this conversation! We are thinking more and more here about creating a regional security zone in Central and Eastern Europe through a Polish-Ukrainian military alliance. We hope that this would solve the problem we have had with Russia for quite a long time.
Always love listening to Ben Hodges. I have one thought about the end of this war and Russia losing which I’m 100% in favour of. It’s a pity that the war cannot be concluded in Moscow so that the propaganda machine could be deconstructed and the Russian people made to really understand what was done to the Ukrainians in their name and what the true reasons for the war were and why the international community finds it unacceptable. To hear about this from the Ukrainian perspective in other words. Otherwise there will be no soul searching and the mindset of the Russian people, especially the Soviet era ones, won’t change. Instead there will be more hostility towards the west and a desire for revenge. And schoolchildren are now being militarised.
If you recall we had 2 Gulf Wars. GW1 under the elder Bush achieved it goal (liberated Kuwait)and stopped. GW2 had the over optimistic goal of regime change (remember we would be greated as liberators), that did not work out so well. We may wish that Russia had different leaders but the lesson Putin is learning and the lesson of GW2 is that changing the regime is up to the citizens of the country. We don't need the quagmire GW2 was or Ukraine is now for Russia.
i suspect to really understand what's going on so we in the west [and whosoever] know where to put their focus /energy /prayers to get this properly sorted in EVERY BODIES best interest ,is to look at this through a christian spiritual war fare framework . as in it's not so much the russian leadership that is bad and destructive . it's the beliefs they have and operate from that is doing the damage [they through their blindness have walked right into this mess and are the instruments that this evil is coming through ] ,to ukraine ,themselves ,the rest of the world and the russian people . [in some ways their minds and hearts have been highjacked and they're being used to cause destruction to themselves and everybody on the wrong end of their behaviour which is unsustainable ]. whereas "god's" /the kingdom way with a foundation of love is sustainable . we don't need a russian leadership change we need a russian leadership HEART ,ATTITUDE CHANGE so their behaviour changes . and they then can get their needs met without trying to runover everybody and cause all kinds of destruction to others and themselves . to use christian speak ,there's another problem that's coming out of this which needs very careful management .russia's evil belligerent behaviour ,can be a stumbling block to ukraine in that they get pulled into escalating evil too ,instead of using a kingdom way to sort their hatred hurt abuse .they'll be more than tempted to "repay evil for evil" which will just make things more destructive for ALL concerned .if they proactively start going after russia and it's people to cause them pain and suffering . to me it's the long way round to solve this problem . next thing you missile our cities ,we'll missile your cities to make us feel better and to up your cost /pain . this would be an incredible temptation to Ukrainians but isn't sustainable and just make things harder to come back from .
@@larrybyrne4467 Yes, but Russia still needs to be defeated. The consensus is that a loss will lead to regime collapse. NATO is just going to watch, at that point.
@@larrybyrne4467 Agree. But the final person that the USA learnt from Iraq & Afganistan was that these were disasters. Putin should have learnt the full lessons.
Yes, you are correct. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. If the population of Russia were allowed to know the truth about what's really happening in Ukraine, perhaps the "Fueding" could end.
Johnathan, great talk, with Gen. Hodges. Can you speak with him every week? Or bi-weekly? Or monthly? Please, I need to hear his regular updates and opinions as the battle moves forward.
Thank you for bringing us General Hodges. I enjoy hearing an experts view. I support Ukraine, the the costs of not supporting them outweigh the costs of supporting them to victory.
I never miss a chance to hear Gen Hodges comment on the Ukraine war. He speaks from experience and intimate awareness of armed combat. His brilliance comes through in his reports.
Excellent interview. We've heard from the beginning about poor Russian logistics but we rarely think about the million little things soldiers need on the frontline. I was also struck by the dichotomy of thought regarding Russian military capability because in all of their engagements it seems that they haven't evolved past scorched earth tactics & mass sacrifice, yet western analysts kept/keep insisting Russia's army is "modern." Politically I think it's hilarious that some in the west think the Russian people will rise up & overthrow Putin. If there is a power shift, the people are more likely to support someone like Prigozhin on the basis of "he brutal, he strong, he president." Since Russian "opposition" is hilariously inept, without leadership or vision, an actual democracy is not going to happen. We have to quit pretending otherwise, that's just fantasy.
Sofie and her buddy lack military knowledge and dont realise that the job of 'military analysts' these days is to brainwash you with deceitful propaganda and fill your mind with nonsense. Putin has a surprise for Sofie at the end of the year, lucky Sofie!
Very insightful. Thank you again for doing these interviews with Gen. Hodges. As an aside. I would love to know what you and Gen. Hodges have on your bookshelves.
Any opportunity to hear Gen Hodges discuss, analyze and assess millitary and geopolitics is a privilege. I also notice that I've only seen him be interviewed by knowledgeable, interesting and disciplined persons. Folks who ask probing, relevant questions and are skilled enough to allow him to answer without being interrupted. So far I've listened to 3 different in depth conversations from which I have come away from the interview with a much more informed view of the current situation in Ukraine. Thank you to Ben Hodges and this interviewer.
I think this is the 2nd or 3rd interview with Gen. Hodges I've seen here (maybe?), so...huzzah, great job snagging an interview with him, he's one of the best analysts covering the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Really good material again. The General covered my question at the end. This is all of such pivotal importance, thanks for the quality of your presentation. After years of the Trump lies, misinformation, and just plain total lack of substance from the Republicans, this is very refreshing.
General Hodges view on ATAMS and seriously wounding Russian so Ukraine wins is spot on. Calling out the Russian complicity in mass murder in a civilian aircraft must be one of the front and center things. Ukraine must win!
This was extremely interesting. It's very true that many people seem to have a problem to imagine that the war could very well end in Russia's defeat. I loved the insight that this view may be due to the mindset that nuclear powers would "not allow" the other side to clearly win and therefore winning is not really an option in some people's minds. Fascinating!
Another great interview with Ben Hodges, it covered some fresh ground. There's reports of the Russians newly starting to use 2022 production which suggests they're running low on stocks, which had tended to use up long term stores previously to reduce wastage.
Nothing but respect for the General !! If I could ask him one thing: What would be your top 25 books that any man should read in his lifetime, or top 50 if he had time to do it ?? I would love to read the books that shaped this man!! In the western society, we are in such short supply of good, intelligent, well spoken men to be examples !! Thank you General Hodges
Just subscribed. This podcast was one of the best on the war in Ukraine. I have heard General Ben Hodges before , snd found his knowledge and explanation on the subject enlightening.
Great guest. He is such a clear communicator and manages to come across as a decent man at the same time. The discussion was far-ranging and he had something to say that was worth listening to with every new topic. I enjoyed the interview very much and I have a lot to think about now. BYW. So weird to talk about how entrenched the notion is that Russia cannot lose this war. Didn't they lose Afghanistan? I am impressed with how innovative the Ukrainians have been and how the civilians, politicians, military brass and the soldiers all pull together. No entrenched thinking there. I believe they will defeat Russia as long as the politicians in EU and USA don't betray them. Fingers crossed that the General is not alone in believing in the Ukrainians!
Thanks, great show, as always the General was clear and informative. He himself a valued asset in a conflict Ukraine must win for all our sakes. Good to see the previous mistakes made by the West in not curtailing Hitlers earlier escapades was highlighted. Thanks again.
High-level reasonably comprehensive discussion on many levels, which has not received news coverage deserved. Would be good to see the interview chunked by highlights from current chapter outlines into TicTok length segments and re-released for greater exposure.
@@SiliconCurtain Great interview and impressive how much solid news material was created - good luck in turning the relevant material over as a series of chunks, and possibly will see some picked up as background for other current news.
This is a very honest, informed conversation. There are so many US generals and colonels out there, current and former, as well as academics, pushing what is essentially Russia’s agenda. “There can be no substitute for victory” has become a cliche, in the minds of these people. Can one imagine what a “negotiated settlement” in the American civil war would have looked like?
Russia must not be immune to Ukraine's retaking its territorial lands and waters including ALL of Ukraine's Crimea. Ukraine must REARM with nuclear capabilities. Lesson for Ukraine is that alliances, treatys, and agreements have proven to be meaningless paper trash.
Real amazing and encouraging interview. but not to the ukraining people. It seems that war is going to be decided by missiles fired from out of reach. we should find a way to win this battle this is the highest priority (not to be forced into negotiations). Other than that i allways share and admire the views of hr Hodges!!!!.
I was very glad to hear someone mention the thousands of tanks and other vehicles parked in the desert waiting to eventually be sold for scrap. The cost to provide these would be miniscule compared to the value that they can provide. I have written to several of my representatives pointing out this issue. But this is an opportunity that we should not ignore.
The depth and breadth of that interview was extraordinary. If only Gen Hodges was required listening for all European and US political leaders! Well done Jonathan
We did cover a lot of ground in the conversation!
In that case the political leaders would be as daft as he is, but there's no need to bother. They are ALREADY as daft as he is!
Lt Gen Hodges is simply the best
Always a pleasure to hear Ben Hodges speak on this conflict. It's hard to disagree with the need for longer range, precision weaponry for Ukrainian's self defense.
Yes, keep on escalating. This is very nice for the future of Europe.
My thought exactly.
Yes it is. He is very level headed and humble in his analysis. There will be no peace in the region if Russia wins this conflict.
Yes it is. Listening to one war criminal critique another.
i don´t know why but i think the procss to deliver long range and best weapons is little by little process. it depends about the evolution of the war. everything is studied
Lt. Gen Ben Hodges is the most wise expert we have in this cruel war. No hysterics, just intelligence, honesty, and courage. Thank you for the interview. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
2 years later… not so much 😂
Gen. Hodges is excellent as are so many of your guests. Very good questions 👌
Thank you Mark. Ben Hodges is an incredible guest!
Hodges is the smartest, most insightful voice on this conflict. He is tactful, polite, modest and well spoken. Lets hear more from him.

Completely agree!
When Ben Hodges speaks, I listen.
Couldn't agree more, I have massive respect for him and I suppose his calm logical way of explaining things is very informative.
He’s a lair’s like rest Congress wake your ass up. This man is a oath breaker
@@scots_knight4706did not age well 😂😂😂
Gen. Hodges - Appreciate your consistent efforts to elevate the level of the discussion on Ukraine. Your contribution is appreciated. Thank you.
Excellent, as usual. I agree with the spoon fed comment. I wish we would just give the Ukranians the tools to do the job.
They've basically run out of soldiers. Ukraine has lost just as many as Russia has.
No Ukraine hasn’t run out of soldiers. Ruzzia never had enough to start with.
Ben Hodges is a brilliant and insightful guest. It is always a pleasure to hear what he has to say.
Always happy to hear from Gen Hodges. His analysis and the understanding it stems from is always spot on.
