Not a bad interview except for where the interviewer slipped into a political hack and started attacking Biden's mental acuity. Kudos to the general for not playing cheap politics and shame to the reporter.

She tried to trigger the General into domestic politics he maneuvered well.

Love the way he incorporates his hands

Aldous Huxley Quotes There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

I love how he brilliantly steps around that elon musk question. I have no idea why she would even ask that irrelevant question.

such an EXTRAORDINARY expose of the many aspects of the very complicated, but so well "organized" web of synchronization by all "allied" parties involved , on all fronts, resulting in Ukraine being able to push back one of the "so called" best military might on our planet ! BRAVO "ladies & gentlemen" ! et MERCI !

You couldn't secure a private room for the Generals interview?

"Nothing succeeds like success".

Does anyone find it odd to hear a journalist say she doesn't vote - (because) she's a journalist ?

In a nutshell, as impressive as it may sound, Ukraine is the most combat-capable force on European continent at the moment.

Always appreciating gen. Petraeus opinion.

Some odd questions here, especially the mention of Elon Musk and Biden's fitness.

The political parties never put this man in charge. He is too smart, too intelligent, and has character. He can't never be control by both parties.

This guy is BRILLIANT

Thanks for the update CNBC

Seen from France, i think that the world will keep a chance to overcome challenges as far as men like this will advise politicians. Merci mon général

US produces among the finest generals in the world.

3:12 That statement makes the biggest advantage Ukraine has against Putin..

I love that he doesn't even mention Musk, he simply states the facts.

Veey intelligent man..really enjoyed his opinion...👍

Bullies should not be cuddle.

Very , very smart former CIA Director!!! Interesting to listen !!!

if your a president he is one of people you'd want at your side in a crisis.

Gen Petraeus is always excellent in analysis giving impressive insight from a General's perspective great interview

Nice analysis...

Great interview

l have great appreciation for General Petraeus. Not only was he a General, and CIA Director, he was also NATO COMMANDER . So this man KNOWS what he is talking about. I saw an interview with him about 4 months ago and he said the entire Russian military could be inside the Ukraine and he did not think they could win. Great respect for his opinion,

Great to see him wearing his UK Parachute Regiment tie !

General Petraeus his analysis of the war are really valuable. Love to hear his views regarding the Russian invasion. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

In which country this interview was done?

Let's all pray for a mild winter.

Would love to see him as the first independent president. Then can all these party clowns in congress

The Host is clearly an able person. However, I don’t feel she is knowledgeable enough to discuss about war, and politics.

Why he would talk to these news media channels after what they have put him through.

We continue to Pray for Peace🙏🏽

I like how he dismissed the stupid question about "hyper-sonic" weapons.....

I can listen to a wartime Gen like him even hours. Not like all keyboard warriors who thinks they knew something about wars

Petraeus would make an outstanding President. Really smart!

Great interview until the bizarre "I dont vote, I'm a journalist" lol.

I am truly impressed with the intelligence and insights of U.S. generals. As a Canadian I feel lucky to have you as a neighbour. I may not always agree with their foreign policy, but I recognise the restraint shown by this superpower.

4:43 Elon did not even say that. He said the referendum should be conducted by a 3rd party such as the UN

Good interview and great journalist have all the answers here !

Petreaus is a National Treasure.

I always enjoy an interview with any general concerning Ukraine and I hope the war will be over soon.

General Petraeus' views and analysis are invaluable, but does he have to be repeatedly interrupted?

First rate interview!

I would thing all these years he , David, been with us in this crazy world, he ll be more of a wise and good man for the world.

"neither do I, I don't vote, Im a journalist" huh? why would being a journalist preclude you from voting? I can understand not publicly announcing your political affiliation as a journalist, but surely you SHOULD vote since your job is to know whats going on? Who would be a more informed voter than a non-partisan journalist?

In my opinion, Petraeus described the battlefield precisely as it is.

"The administration is the President." 👐🎤

I really respect his commitment to not comment on domestic politics especially with him being someone who has occupied position of necessary apoliticalism.

Listening to Gen Petraeus is intellectually delightful.

well said sir!

Well emphasized by Mr David Petraeus.

That was a great interview

General , long time ago your wonderful mother told you : No self respecting chicken would wanna be like you “. Today, every self respecting chicken wishes it was you. You are a living legend, General !!!!!

Military Genius She did a great interview

As a pro-EU german having been critical about US imperialism and selfishness in the past and especially under Trump, this is the kind of leadership displayed here I can accept and endorse and feeling happy to be a part of this alliance, therefore expecting my german gov't to contribute its share properly.

A good question to ask him would've been how much investment do you have in the great Military Industrial Complex!!!! Would've def been an interesting and eye opening question to ask!

I could listen to General David Petraeus all day. Makes all his points very clearly. 💙💛☮

So because one is in the military or a journalist, they should not vote?? What in the world are they talking about? Voting is a duty and a privilege of citizenship.

What is there not to admire from an American who is fully aware of what is going on in the world. You are the man Patreus - total respect from an Irish European.

Wow what a game of softball. Sending love. Go truckers and railway workers. Cleveland

[ 8:02 ] - Unrelated to the interview. Love the guy with the phone in the background here 😁😁😎😎

Great interview. Thank you.

Petraeus is so believable and so reassuring ... at least for me. Elon Musk needs to stick to what he knows, technology, and stop meddling in Ukrainian military strategies. Elon is so full of himself, frankly I'm beginning to question his motives and his psyche. Really, who does he think he is and what is his purpose? He has no business mucking around in this situation! Is he aware that Russia attacked the peaceful, sovereign country of Ukraine? Why are all his propositions favorable to Russia? Why didn't he recommend to Putin to get the h'll out of Ukraine and give back all Ukrainian territory including Crimea? 🤔 As an after thought, I hope Biden is talking to Petraeus!

Without a doubt the most brilliant general superb intellect and a genius he definitely should be a president or a defense secretary in an administration.

David Petraeus wears the tie of a true warrior

God bless Ukraine with boundless strength, may they soon take back every piece of their land back.

Excellent, more longer conversations please!

Refreshing Interview from Petreaus,

Hard to keep Hadley on topic...Lots of name dropping and gas lighting. Petraeus gave a very solid interview.

Found pressing General Patreus to comment on Biden's mental acuity is something an election denier would ask, question.

German here, without the US Europe would be lost, thank you

General Petraeus represents the best of our military and country. Proud to say that.

Utmost respect to all American military leaders. It's evident that these are not the usual bonehead russian military leaders. American military leaders are the real thing. The prestige, repect, honor, and experience they exhibit is 2nd to none. American prestige. This is it.

👍🇺🇲♥️🇺🇦💛💙🔱 Gen. Petraeus is right on the point! Thank you for this analysis and Glory to Ukraine! Ukraine needs the artillery it gets times the factor of 5 to ten, and the contemporary tanks and planes would be a huge boost to the military effort, please consider. Ukraine is fighting the hot part of the current world war on behalf of us all in the free democratic world, on behalf of NATO: Ukraine must be expedited toward NATO membership as Finland and Sweden are.

I totally enjoy listening to this man He is intelligent and very good at analytical evaluation of the geopolitical events currently occurring in the world

One of the few, next to Hodges, who believed in Ukraine’s changes from the beginning. Based on clear analytical and critical thinking. I believe both have a deep sense of what an army and its nation needs in order to be successful on the battlefield.

We need more people like this Gentleman.

A 2019 Rand Corporation study commissioned by the US Department of State and Defense laid out exactly what the plan to undermine and weaken Russia through military support for Ukraine would be. The study suggested arming Ukraine after a coup d'etat, imposing sanctions on Russia; ramping up economic warfare and taking a more aggressive and militaristic posture toward the United States’ international rival - all while warning that this could lead to a military invasion of Russia. And bingo, worked! Now just take the EU as an energy hostage by disconnecting it from Russian energy. They've already done it too, it's true. To destabilize Russia with a war in Ukraine and try a regime change in Moscow as in Kiev and to re-plunder Russia's natural resources as in the 90's with Yeltsin. And finally to ensure that China never accesses Russia's natural resources to continue to grow with the BRI and above all the Eurasian project with Russia and EU! Challenge the economic hegemony of the US dollar as the world's monetary reference. Oops, it looks like this part is going wrong in Global South! and the US risks that 85% of the world's population will stop funding the US debt and the American way of life. Basically plundering the natural resources of all world since the end of WWII. And especially after the dissolution of the USSR with a unipolar world order with the Sheriff in Washington! Now desperate, seeing the military conflict in Ukraine lead to a defeat much worse than Afghanistan despite all the disinformation campaign at MSM and clowns like Petreaus! That knows lose wars like no other soldier alive! Taht's why it's just a puppet and a parrot like the comediant in Kiev.

Thanks

Brilliant interview and everything is on point and clear.

Strange that you don’t all vote, in Australia voting is compulsory, we just don’t always tell people who we vote for.

come on CNBC, kinda disrespectful interview a man of his stature in a loud open hallway? you can't afford a studio/conference room? the background noise is very distracting

This guy is very well spoken!

A very thoughtful interview by an intelligent non sensationalist journalist, in the old sense of the word. more like this, and I might even start watching cable again. But this is a rarity. Since it is so rare, it should be watched and celebrated, IMHO.

Thank you. Great interview. ❤🇺🇦🇪🇺🇺🇸🇬🇧🇨🇦🇫🇮

General David Petraeus, one of the finest generals the US has ever seen.

A man respected by everyone I know who've met him. Alexander the Great said "It is not titles who honour men, but men who honour titles.", Petraeus is the reason we respect the title of General and commander. Even as a European who usually disdain all of the US's military-industrious complex and culture, I highly respect men such as he.

Was this recorded inside of a train station? Terrible sound, fantastic interview.

Petraeus is one of, if not the, brightest military minds of his generation. He spoke expertly and didn’t take the bait. And what is up with this reporter? She wouldn’t stop name dropping the people she and questioning Biden‘s mental acuity? Sure, he’s getting old and his prone to gaffes, he has ALWAYS been! But what has he done exactly that’s interfered with the running of the country? Not remembering that a member of Congress died months ago? There’s 535 of them! Did she say the same thing when Trump was talking about the Civil War and how the union was taking their “airports” ? (airports in 1865!)

What a great interview. Very well put together questions and answers

This generals need to explain why Russia has avoided the scorched earth policy like he practiced in Iraq. Why hasn't the capital been targeted with Russias thousands of short and medium range missiles? Why has critical infrastructure been left in tact? The answer is simple this isn't a full scale declaration of war... yet.

Great interview, such an impressive man General Petraeus when he talks you listen!

Elon Musk is better at being a Technocrat than a Politician. There's a saying that goes." If you're not in the thick it. Don't advise those who are on how to proceed. Just stay in your Lane".

First show I've like channel.

Wow. Hadley Gamble 🏆Great interview. Not overly aggressive, but asking difficult questions. I really have the impression that you are an honest journalist. Your interview(s) are refreshingly balanced and show that your agenda is discovering the truth rather than playing for a political team. Good retort 18:00 after difficult questions about Biden: "i don't vote either, I'm a journalist". I think of myself as liberal, but I think the truth is much more important than political teams. I hope you'll be winning awards

Great interview 💯
