I'm curious what the discussions in D.C. thought about how Kamala Harris would behave?
Thank you General for your endless work and education. We rally behind the concept of rules based order and commit to perseverance
Something I love about Ben Hodges is that he lacks a "hesitation filter" when he speaks. This is the mark of an honest man who speaks his mind and has considered the deep strategy.
Thank you Gen. Hudges for the interesting outcomes from russia WAR-INVATION in UKRAINE 🇺🇦🇺🇦, also thank you Mr. Vare, for so clear conversation, I dissipated doubts about this war 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congratulations, Eesti Välissuhete Nõukoda, it is an excellent and reviewing interview ever hosted. We are in a completely different world now. I am very thankful for Gen Hodges in adopting this simple yet root reaching approach in his global analysis. I sincerely hope the collective West should be serious enough to start preparing and investing now.
Thank you General
Very admirable statesmen , Retired General Ben Hodges and Raivo Vare, member of the Board of the Estonian Council on Foreign Relations and economic expert.
Giving us a reasonable successful pathway for Ukraine to win.
LMFAO CIA boy...a pathway to win??????

This is how well little enrique handles the truth. Go get a cope stuffy.🤡🤡.
@@glenbolderson9279 The CIA failed to predict Zelensky not fleeing, a big headache for which the Administration was unprepared and remains several steps behind. Still trying to milk Trump's attitude that our NATO allies should pay their fair share as some kind of failure.
Excellent interview, thank you.
Gen Ben Hodges is spot on! Wake up Europe!
yes,we start woking up.We know US and UK want to throw us under bus,in order to keep us weak so US could be sure EU will not change their hegemonical position in the world and UK want to make sure Gibraltar,Scotland and Northern Ireland won't be attracted by idea of breaking away and joining EU.
"Wake up Europe" that's a laugh. Europe will not wake up even if a firecracker is lit under its arse
Brilliant insight as always.
Vielen Dank, sehr interessant, mehr davon!
Estonians great brave people . Great danger for them . Baltic Democratic - OTAN countries - strategically beautiful people aware of their importance defending West values bravely .
Former Commanding General of the United States Army Europe, please become my present day president.

Somehow I've trained TH-cam to notify me when Ben Hodges shows up anywhere. "We haven't even tried to help Ukraine win" is right on. The question is, why not?
That's just the political reality. The reason is most americans don't really see the need to do so. They're far more concerned with not being dragged into ww3. Hence the Biden admin is just drip feeding barely enough for UA to not get swiftly overrun. The 6 months delay is the anti-aid side exerting their political weight through Johnson. With Trump in office, aid may stop all together and the Trump admin could be actively hostile, forcing UA to negotiate or expect the CIA to go after Zelensky. Just ask the South Vietnamese.
UA has to have a plan B when (not if) the US betrays and abandons them. Europe doesn't have what it takes to step up.
Ben Hodges would be a good President.
Ben Hodges for US president!
Ben for president
Hodges is very very sharp on a lot of stuff
Since neither presidential candidate is any good I'm probably going to vote for Ben Hodges.
And silent on many issues important to America. America borrowing $1 trillion every 90 days while Europe expecting America pays 2/3 of NATO's budget for 10 years is unsustainable. America rapidly prepares for war with China and yet the US Navy has 7 days of critical anti-ship ammunition stocks and the US Marine Corps has yet to begin construction of ships critical to the island hopping strategy necessary for any US defense of Taiwan. If America loses the fight in the South China Sea, Putin wins in Ukraine and Iran in the middle east.
Ben Hodges the big picture guy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Doesn’t understand is this: post World War II United States was the last country standing. In the timeframe between 1914 and 1945 100 million Europeans were killed. 100 million Roosevelt and his generation were the last people to understand the negative effects of colonialism. Roosevelt had less specific instructions that the French were not to be allowed back into IndoChina. This highlighted in Karnow’s book Vietnam.
Roosevelt and that generation understood that having a strong armed Europe was probably not in anybody’s best interest. As a British politician or not NATO to keep the Russians out the Americans and the Germans down a strong Europe was not in anybody’s best interest we needed Europe as an ally against the Soviets, but we also needed to prevent the next hundred million people being killed .
To prevent that from happening, United States established the international rules based order it established the US dollar as the world reserve currency post 1945 despite nuclear weapons as a result of the world base order and United States leadership the world has been a much safer place .
It is very dangerous to have good well trained troops. They may find a good leader, and revolt on you, if they are badly treated like the russians are. Pregoshon, and wagner group are a good example.
Ben Hodges, should become US President ... he understands how import a Long Term strategy is to compete with China

Μy Goodness, this guy wouldn't even pass to a low military school in Russia
No p or j.
armchair generals.....used to fight sandalsoldiers with no serious arms.
Russia is getting tanks from China... What???
As always ,Ben is isolating crimea.
And is getting ready to rule Russia.😂
Not the brightest candle on the tree imo.
Ok let's pretend a war between the Nederlands and Germany, how could the Netherlands ever win such a war. I don't know where the idea of a ucrainien victory is coming from.🙄
Bull dust.
President Joe Biden is a strong leader.
General Hodges doesn't like leadership that says one thing and does another and yet for over 2 1/2 years and with multiple cash infusions from Congress (over $100 billion), President Biden’s end state is for Ukraine to lose as slowly as possible. For 2 1/2 years Biden failed to send ATACMS, HIMARs, F-16's and enough Patriot air defense systems until Republicans forced Biden to send ATACMS and HIMARS in the latest aid package. Even then, Biden limits Ukraine from using American weapons to hit sovereign Russian territory. America borrowing $1 trillion every 90 days while Europe for 10 years let America pay 2/3 of NATO's budget is unsustainable. As America rapidly prepares for war with China, the US Navy has only 7 days of critical ammunition stock and the US Marine Corps has yet to begin construction of ships critical to the island hopping strategy critical for a US defense of Taiwan. If America loses the fight in the South China Sea, Putin wins in Ukraine and Iran in the middle east.
What fool is this?
America is in a civil war: Confederate Reich vs the Constitutional Republic (democrats). We are also in World War III.

How can the industrial production be organised in Ukraine, when Russia is systematically destroying the energy system? This man has no clue what he's talking about
Hodges is a nice guy and eloquent, but he's a poor general. Since day 1 of the war he has been underestimating the other side, and has learnt nothing from it.
He may have overestimated the wisdom of the west, especially our Commander in Chief. The lack of commitment to freedom is outrageous.
I don’t even have to watch to know it will be pure propaganda. It’s embarrassing this guy was a US General.
propaganda and lies comes from the Kremlin, Hodges speaks the truth, Russia can be defeated if the West steps up to the plate and shows Putin its muscle, Russia knows it is not strong enough to take on the West, it has been using bluff and bluster all these years
Ah here are also Russian dum bots
I wish the American and European governments would take advice from one if their best retired Generals
