I am so glad that there are people like General Ben Hodges, thank you very much for your efforts, I am confident that as long as there are people like you, we can solve the difficulties. Thank you very much Ben.
Thank you for another great interview. NATO has strong support for Ukraine. The US economy IS strong, the Ukrainian industry, and the defence innovations are FAR more valuable to the US than Russias economy or defence industry. Russia has lost its scope of influence in critical regions of security (including many resources and supply chains)... even if Russia were to pursue expansionist aspirations European, Baltic and Scandinavian nations have increased preparedness, defence spending and resources. Expansion would have to be through Africa, Asia (doesn't seem an opinion given the alliances) or South America... with logistical, economic challenges in addition to lawlessness and armed conflicts (esp. Africa) that would be an ENORMOUS investment with viability and stability/continuity risks. Especially when Russia didn't have sufficient assets to secure Syria...🤔🤔 Transportation and logistics are precarious in, or with Russian assets. Their airpalnes are blowing up or catching fire regularly (not great), and ships are sinking... China could assist Russia in that regard but at what cost? A strong Ukraine and Europe makes more sense as an investment than Russia does. As Gen Hodges says, if deterrence is not achieved, there will ba another war within 3 or 4 years. That would also be costly for the US. At least thats my two cents worth...its probably literally only worth two cents. Such a great interview, thank you.
I don't see he is doing anything except telling the truth. Russia has lost the war already, it is just a matter of time. They are using Elvis Presley era tanks and losing 450,000 men a year for a very small gain in territory. It is over.
NATO = NO!! I say NO piece of land should go to Putin. Not even Crimea. If those people want to speak Russian - let them. Putin 'need' something to show
Why is he doing this. Why piss of your neighbours for no reason. I was a supporter of trump until he made these STUPID comments. What the hell is going on!
Trump is throwing up Smoke to cloud the battlefield, by getting a bunch of people focusing on Canada and Greenland, people can not see the trees in front of them. Panama it is a message to the Panamanian Govt to play nice in the litter box. Canada is virtually a US State, simply by location and Ideology if something bad happened to Canada the US would be there in a micro second just like the UK, we are connected by everything but name and currency. if you do not believe what I say, simply look at Bermuda, while there I spoke to someone about the currency Bermudian Dollar, the lady said I Identify more with the USA than the UK. Greenland may be more of a Stragic thing
Strikes me that if the proposed 'ceasefire' being purported in the Ukraine/Russia invasion indeed begins, it should include a significant NATO forward operating base be setup within Ukraine to deter the inevitable Russian ongoing engagements as the risk associated is critical against Russia. Doing so would be an interim action for Ukraine's security pending their accension as a full member of NATO.
My day is always better when I get to hear from Ben Hodges, he is the champion of rational argument and knows what he talking about. Thanks General Hodges! For our freedom and yours.

What we really need to know is what emporer Musk wants. The world's best investor doesn't spend $250 million on something that doesn't return billions. He's in charge of Trump, and he's pulling strings all over the globe. We need to analyze his plans to know what Trump is going to do.
Ben yesterday you have told uss that russians are kaputt i Kurs region but today bott russian and ukranian blogers are writing that russians are in town of Sudja and att ukranians are soon out of Kursk region. How??
In Pres. Trump's first term, he gave nothing to Putin and Putin did not launch the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The biggest disaster for Ukraine was when the FBI covered up the Biden family corruption and thereby produced the election of Joe Biden as President in 2020.
According to Zelensky there were 31 000 Ukrainian casualties in the conflict. According to other sources more than 100 000 Ukrainian militaries deserted Frontline and training camps so far. It depends which information sources are trustworthy.
@@mikatuUkrainian losses are 1.35 million. Russia is around 300 000 Ukraine has had well over 100 000 deserters . This from Ukrainian sources. Being drafted is seen as a death sentence no wonder Ukraine has resorted to kidnapping men off the street. I Kiev and other cities the streets are empty of men. Ukraine started out with the2nd largest Miliatary in Europe with 600000 men to which they added throughout the conflict . Now out of men.
Who are " others"? Russian propagandists? Because I see various reports saying russia is failing, like we all saw the first week. British intelligence, German intelligence, American intelligence. Notice the difference?
Strong compared to ruzzia, China, Turkey, and several other important actors. Continued strength depends on the ability of the Trump administration to slash federal spending and encourage the growth of the private economy. But at least we dodged a major bullet by avoiding the election of spendthrift Kamala.
@ no., my IQ is probably just a lot higher than yours . Knowing my way around maps are easy for me. Finding updates also pretty easy. Following latest movements and geolocations is also routine for me . I see you assume a lot. Like I’m on a farm somewhere. That’s also false . Just like you assume all you hear in our western media is true. But as low IQ people usually demonstrate is that they would rather double down on something that is false than believe they have been lied to and therefore feel humiliated.
There is No proof of North Korean troops on the front line, just because Zelensky says it and it's echoed by the West Doesn't make it true. Show the proof.
When Putin is forced to mobilise the rich kids from St Petersburg & Moscow, he’s toast 💀

I would say your opinion is worth more than two cents😅
Ret. Gen. Hodges always delivers with his great optimism.
BIDEN WARMONGER REJECTED BY VOTERS AS TOGETHER WITH BIDEN THEY ARE DELUSIONAL.
Need more than optimism need results
@wmp3346 that's not gen. Hodges for you sorry, after all he's the man that predicted that Ukraine would take Crimea back in '23
I don't see he is doing anything except telling the truth. Russia has lost the war already, it is just a matter of time. They are using Elvis Presley era tanks and losing 450,000 men a year for a very small gain in territory. It is over.
Outstanding Interview once again Gen Hodges, 💯👌
Biden war hawk rejected by U.S voters,a delusionalist of note.
Biden and Lloyd Austin should have had General Hodges handle this war from the get go...

Are they seriously talking about North Korean troops in this fight? Really????
Trump is definately transactional and unfortunately motivated by personal ego and self interest.
So, you voted for Biden then Harris ?
No wars
Great economy
Kinda kills ur narrative
@@Notyou5556trump surrendered to the Taliban and crashed the economy. Biggest government handout in history to farmers from ending themselves. Stuff your propaganda.
As soon as Trump moves on Panama, China will attack Taiwan.
Imagine sitting at a desk in nk and drawing a line through the number 12000.
Still in power and occupying Ukraine 🇺🇦
Remember what Ben Hodges said: Ukraine will take back Crimea by Summer of 2023
Leading the witness. Fortunately GBH is above this tactic and always manages to get things back on track.
This isn't a cross examination. Chill.
If a decision, with respect to Ukraine, brings glory to Trump then he will go with it. 😢
NEVER trust the "Inventer of the Hamburger"...
Russia is a weak army
Idiot. They killed 750 000 ukr.
Ben Hodges!😂🤪🙈
No nice for warmer off any order
I still believe in Santa Claus 🎅
😂😂😂😂North Koreans 😂😂😂where?
Isn't this the guy that predicted Ukraine would push Russia out of Crimea and the south of Ukraine 1 or 2 winters ago?
He probably did not account for the bat shit crazy scenario of the republicans blocking US aid to Ukraine.
I don't think we should quote figures for casualties given by either Kiev or Moscow. In this particular case 3K anyway sounds excessive.

what? are you drunk or what? russians are not in Sudzha, but they are trying and dying trying.
@mikatu love you. They are there. And lot of ukranians have died there also
another troll? They are everywhere
@EricSparre i love you. If you want you can see fact self but you dont want that and you belive in Santa. But not me.
Hilarious.
Someone needs to ask Van Hodges. The question, would you come out of retiremento help fight this war? Thank you.
Ridiculous, trump will do whatever he can to help putin! Have you been living on the same planet as U.S.???

Idiotic to project sane judgement from Trump on any policy regarding Ukraine.
So keep on dreaming and lie to your audience

Ah , 11 years, you've been hiding for a couple of days. Where's Jimmy ye?
Well the UK is a sub state of the US so Canada could easily qualify as a state. 😂
Five possible outcomes: 1) Putin disappears, 2) Russia oblasts revolt, 3) Trump refuses to support Ukraine, 4) Nuclear war, 5) Zelenski disappears.
Regurgitating video
Trump does not inherent a strong U.S. economy. This guy is a clown. 🤡

I’ve been looking at all the different battle grounds from Kursk all along the eastern front and all I see is Russia advancing .
How do your keep your " history" in order? Do you have a giant map of what to say on the farm wall?
Just like the Germans were advancing in 1942 so they won the war, right?

Kudos to the presenter for trying to speak English. Maybe a few lessons on pronunciation would help. He sounds like he had some speech impairment.
Can someone train the host not to pronounse anything with a Z, unless it's written with a Z? Very annoying.
Accent, geez are you people juveniles ? Go back to your video games PLEASE.
I’m zinking zi anzwer iz no!
Russia cannot defeat Ukraine if Poland got involved I feel sorry for Putin
Poor Man!!, it's pathetic to see the efforts he makes to seem credible...
I'd say the same about your yt account
One clearly sees on the face of this liar that he is lying to his audience here
Ok, more Bogus propaganda. The North Koreans dont have 1 dog in the fight!!!!! Zelinski is full of BS
I can hardly believe what I am hearing. Do these two guys really know what is going on???
That older "guy" is a General, I think he knows what's going on a little better than you, mr. keyboard warrior! 🤣
Why should he ? He is retired and won't have insider insights He probably doesn't know Ukrainian or Russian.
The only time I’ve disagreed with General Hodges, no we don’t have a strong economy in the U.S.
America has the strongest economy in the world, by any metric period. Don't fall for the lies perpetrated by the lunatic right wing.
Another great episode of Muppet Show. Best entertainment ever :)
