      He is paid very well to say what he says on behalf of the military industrial complex. That's the problem.
      Early word Turkey is giving serious thought to withdraw from NATO since they disapprove involvement in Ukraine when there is no obligation. Also, Italy ministry of defense spokesman expressed strong opposition to sending troops into Ukraine. NATO organization is under funded, under equipped, under manned, and under motivated to fight sustained combat operations against a superior army with limitless resources, and capacity. This general like all the others is dishonest, duplicitous, and delusional. Better information comes from retired colonels who have no political obligations. They tell the truth in terms of reality.

      @@Kaatu-barada-nikto Kaatu, this is your opinion! It is NOT a remote fact.
      And I also disagree with you.
      Think about it for a moment, if you were the Military Industrial Complex, would you rather support President Biden’s previous position of lesser amount of munitions and disallowing rockets to be fired into Russian territory “prolonging” the conflict, or would you support Gen Ben Hodges who supports a massive increase in all munitions including long range rockets and allowing them to strike strategic targets inside Russia???
      The obvious answer is Joe Biden’s approach and prolonging the conflict!
      Why? Because it makes the Military Industrial Complex “way more money”!!
      Gen Ben Hodges strategy is to completely support Ukraine to hit Russia hard with total overwhelming force to push the Russians completely out of “ALL” of Ukraine and that most definitely includes Crimea!!
      So if you’re not a Russian bot, do your research bonfire posting such things otherwise try posting it in the form of a question instead of a non factual opinion!

      Hodges is a warmonger, whose desire for war will drag us all into World War Three and mindlessly get us all killed. His own military experience was not very impressive. Hodges was beaten by a bunch of illiterate goat herders, armed with little more than rusty AK47s and WWII era rifles. Yet rather astonishingly, he thinks he now has the correct strategy to beat the Russians. The man's a complete and dangerous idiot.

      He didn't "lost" in Afghanistan. The US Army defeated the Taliban soundly in the space of three months. They fled to Pakistan. The Afghan people had 18 years of relative peace (e.g., girls were able to attend school, women did not have to wear the hijab, and US casualties were near zero in the Trump years) until Biden executed his precipitous, idiotic, cowardly withdrawal in 2021. It was only after Biden deprived the Afghan army of US air support that the Taliban were able to make any headway.

    With all due respect for Gen. Hodges, it's not a mistake for the US to restrict use of it's weapons in Ukraine. Strategy in the Ukraine conflict must be dictated by NATO and EU nations, not the US. If this becomes a full war, it must be their war, not ours, just like it was in WWI and WWII. The US followed after the UK approved for Ukraine to use UK weapons to strike inside Russia. France and Germany followed after the US. Also, we should not give maniac Putin any reason to use nuclear weapons.
