I wish you lot would think about one thing: some people go "war bad! peace good!" Ukraine has had peace with Russia before. Each time broken by Russia. Russia does not want peace; it wants a reprieve just to try again later. And after Ukraine they want to get into Europe. Anyone who pushes for peace besides the Ukrainians, just helps the Russians.

I'm 42 and in ohio USA 🇺🇸 and other than the age o would post the same comment. The support of Ukraine is supported by a LARGE majority in the states. As a personal anecdote, I can't recall talking to one single person in day to day conversations who has told me they would like to withdraw our support for Ukraine and opposition to the Russian regime.

Republicans who were against aiding Ukraine were not elected. And remember the Gipper! :D

Same here, I'm a 68 year old grandmother who will go out to the streets to support Ukraine!

I agree

Got the helicopter role wrong, though.

The best interview (I know the IQ option) is that it is propaganda. I have known a few journalists... atleast give some false flags. Hodges gives this Svevastopol... It is not politically correct, but say that s/he is a total lunatic of thinking that. Give a listener a sense that this is not a Hodges' aim at the democratic party runoffs!!!?

if that was a good one then i would hate to see a bad one

This is great if you need your western narrative reinforced

Sure, we Brits did NS1/2, Kerch Bridge and tried to sink the R fleet, guarding the grain convoys.. our mercs not doing too well either. eh? How many killed by R? 1K, 5K? Seems BBC gotcha.. try Moon of Alabama for FACTS

No mate, they are fighting for themselves at best. At worse they are fighting for nato and the pro-western forces. If you want to fight in Ukraine make your way there but please don’t speak for the rest of us.

Ukraine is paying in tonnes of blood...that of theit children and spouses and parents. Too much has been paid to say now "oh yes, and take this land of ours on top of our dead and abducted kids". We are not like that, Ukrainian have survived even more hardships than Ruzzia has. Holodomor, WWII, serfdom for hundreds of years under Muscovite imperialism, and so on. NO MORE NO MORE NO MORE is what we say. This time, this war....we have to finish it. Finish them, for once and for all. This is literally our war of independence. War to break free and be accepted into the EU and NATO, withiut having to ask permission from Ruzzian fascist regime. This is a ALL OR NOTHING GAME. Negotiations are impossoble cuz not trustworthy. It will only prolong this bloodshed, and in the end it will be fro nothing. Cuz as long as Putler can, he will try everything umder the sun. Cuz its existential for him too, just like for us. There is no place for both our nations to simultaneously exist on this planet. Its ua or them. Both regimes like they are now cannot co-exist. One must go. Russia in its prrsent form must seize to exist. Goodnight everybody. Love you! Thank you for YOUR PRICELESS SUPPORT. TOGETHER WE WILL WIN. History is being written HERE and NOW

I agree. Been watching him for some time on different youtubes and he always comes across as a very leveled guy, totally grounded in his allegiances but always ready to take in new informartion and opinions. No wonder he got to general ranks.

One of the main reasons I respect him. He was one of those who predicted a quick Russian victory. But he was also one of the earlier to admit that prediction was wrong and based on faulty assumptions. They matter of fact and humble way he talked about this made it clear that this is a person who wants to rely on evidence and to continually reassess his positions as he learns more. I understand well why he was a general. Truly an impressive and competent individual.

There's people thinking about every issue. I think grey eagles are used with other assets to be effective. They'd probably get shot down without air support.

@PIGMEN UKRAINE pretty weak Ivan. Earn your potato peel soup!

Looking at the areas Russia has been "pushed back" in, one must note that in the Kharkiv arena Russia had its least amount of forces in place there, and the Kherson pullback was a move Russian genls wanted since March. Now, did Ukrainian actions instigate Russian pullbacks? Sure, most offensives push the target back. Now one must look at cost, sustainability, and prepare for the opponents reactions.

Ben Hodges April: Russia is almost out of missiles 😂🤣😂🤣

You got this backwards thanks to the "Times Radio" BS...

We've got some Russian bots in here as usual. How much is the pay these days for these little farts of delusion you bless us with?

I want Ben Hodges for President!

That's funny, I would rather have John Mearsheimer on the security council! Someone who is a realist who might understand what the self-interests of the United States and its adversaries are, whose goal might be to try to avoid wars. Especially a war with another nuclear power that that will not only destroy Ukraine but could end with the destruction of us all.

@PIGMEN UKRAINE yes, they do a great job explaining what it is and how the Kremlin uses it to brainwash it’s citizens-and to influence the West to abandon its support of Ukraine. Glad to see you’re not fooled. Slava Ukraine!

@@wheelerrappj True, but that's why he's too sensible to run.

US General Officers must retire at age 64. Only a very few have served after age 64 (see Admiral Hyman Rickover) but it needs a specific Act of Congress. Gen. Hodges works for a private Think Tank.

Check out Stephen Kotkin’s most recent appearances for a similar but different perspective. You might not agree with everything he says, but he’s got a great mind and good eye.

I agree about Ben! Although Prof Michael Clarke is as good. I like Prof Snyder and have followed him for years: but personally I think Oxford historian Vlad Vexler is better!

@@garymelnyk7910 Vlad Vexler is a very interesting political philosopher. He’s very humanist in his focus. Snyder and Hodges are also humanist, but each has a slightly different approach. I see them all as complementary. I’m a regular viewer of Vlad’s chat channel, where he posts more frequently than in his other channels. Stephen Kotkin is another interesting figure for those interested in Russia, the Soviet Union, and Geopolitics. Like Snyder, he is a historian, but he has a different perspective. In my humble opinion, his perspective is also complementary to Vexler, Snyder, and Hodges. His most noted accomplishment is writing a highly regarded 3-volume biography of Stalin. (He also has a distinctive Brooklyn accent which many have compared to the actor Joe Pesci.) I also watch Peter Zeihan, but Pete is too reductionist imho. He’s an analyst and trend-spotted of Geopolitics. When I watch his videos, I keep in mind that his main clients are private industry, particularly in energy and agriculture. He’s not bad, but I’m not a fanboy. I’m not sure I’ve seen Michael Clarke. I’ll check him out. Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm all for sending more NASAMs though if kept in major cities and guarded by trustworthy people I think the risk is worth it to help the civilians but not patriot.
