It's tough, I'd say break out the Iron Dome and the Abrams for Ukraine, but the problem is that it's a huge conflict, and our stuff would fall into Russian hands. The Russians have a long history of reverse engineering or adapting our equipment that falls into their hands. This may yet happen with the NLAW, which they have captured in some quantity. My wager is that this is why the hesitancy is happening. That said, I would send them lower tech assets like 105mm and 155mm artillery all day to replace their D-30 130mm guns and their 152mm SP systems. The Ukrainian artillery skills, coupled with drone usage, has been a real sight to behold.

It’s amazing that people are now having to grapple with the concept of a Ukrainian counter offensive. Five weeks ago Ukraine was predicted to lose the entire war in days.

Ukraine is in a very good position to resist and win against Russia. It has more than 500,000 soldiers with REAL LIFE military experience. They fought for 8 years on the battlefield in Russia-Ukraine proxy war since 2014. Now, if Russia would manage to defeat Ukraine and subject it to its will what we are going to see is that in 8 years Russia would likely continue its war, but now on NATO countries - Baltics, quite likely Moldova, it would try to disintegrate NATO from within. Ukraine must win, a lot of it is at stake here.

Oh, yes, the Ukrainians are just going to drop their weapons and let Russia "subject it to its will". What nonsense, even if Putin should win anything like a real victory in Donbas, which he won't, whatever claims I'm sure he'll make to the contrary. The Ukrainians have enough weapons cached to continue an insurgency even if NATO should turn off the tap. What do you think they've been doing for the last eight years, praying for NATO intervention? Hardly. They will turn any Russian attempt at occupation into an infected sore far worse than what the Soviets experienced in Afghanistan. And it will continue long after Putin is gone, should his replacement be no different. The worst thing that could happen, incidentally, would be open NATO intervention, followed by Russian retaliation, which needn't be nuclear, against bases and supply hubs in Poland and Romania. The result of this would probably be either a full-scale NATO retaliation either in kind or with nuclear strikes on Russia-Belarus forces and supply hubs close to Ukraine, followed by a conventional NATO push from Poland and the Baltics. Much depends on the timing of responses and whether or not nuclear weapons are used, as well as with whether all NATO members agree with such a response. At a minimum Hungary could bolt, and possibly Poland, but what France and Germany decide to do would be of far greater importance. Were they to leave NATO, Putin will have won a far greater victory, even if he loses the Donbas, or Crimea, for that matter. Keeping this confined to Ukraine is crucial to Western unity. The only thing keeping Putin from using tactical nukes is fear of escalation to full strategic nuclear war with the US, which could happen much more quickly than people on either side realize. It goes without saying that this would also occur if NATO initiated nuclear strikes on Russia-Belarus territory.

For several weeks now I've been reading up on the Law of War and was interested in knowing why NATO had never admitted the Ukraine as a Member (which would give NATO protection to the Ukraine). Apparently the Ukraine had not taken care of Government Corruption which is why it has been denied membership (at least his is one major reason I've come to understand). I don't know if a Russian - NATO war would signal World War III or if China could get involved or all of the other factors but it does appear - based on statements from the American Government - that we plan to say out of the region with no boots on the ground and no birds in the air. Foreign Policy is difficult for those of us not making day to day decisions and not involved on a regular basis... not even sure I'd want to be a Professor in this field without also being in Government. Senator Richard Lugar spoke before his death at a Foreign Policy seminar that America should get back to the Constitution and Law and rule of War (one statement this conflict constantly reminds me of) and maybe this is what we are doing in the Ukraine. Clearly we seem to be obeying the Law and NATO treaty and such and perhaps this legal approach is best in this conflict lest we see escalation beyond our wildest imagination. I guess I'm proud of America so far in this. What can we do, really? And thanks for General Allen's analysis and comments. Enjoyed his expertise.

The US has been saying for years that the european countries in NATO need to spend more on defence , they preferred to hedge which I believe is one reason the US has said , its up to Europe this time . I also think Europe was happy to keep the Ukraine as a so called neutral country between them and Russia .

Putin's fallback (and probably his bottom-line objective) is easy access to the Sea of Azov (and the Black Sea). Control of Donbas and Mariupol gives him that, thus his effort to depopulate those regions of pro-Ukraine residents. I believe Ukraine should cede those areas, fight like hell against expansion past Mariupol, demand the return of Crimea. If Putin calms down and accepts limits, he can be dissuaded from pushing further; provocation can be met with attacks on his new "warm water" port (Mariupol). All ports are vulnerable, and retaliation can be swift and decisive. Ukraine should be ready to fight for Crimea, and whatever else happens, the rest of the world must keep the pressure on Russia, make Putin pay for his aggression. The bonus: a lesson for Xi.

I don’t pretend to be a military expert and I don’t pretend to know what “should be” done but I do have some questions. What are Mr. Putin's goals? If Mr. Putin is replaced as the head of the Russian government, what is the likelihood his replacement will be even more hardline than he is? Is it reasonable to assume that Mr. Putin’s goal is anything less than to restore Russian control of all of the land area that was ever under Russian control? It’s one thing to talk about what his short-term goals may be but, if he accomplishes those goals, what else is he likely to attempt? Has any country (or group of countries) ever been able to win a war while being prevented from attacking the enemy (or enemies) on their own ground? Is Ukraine currently being supplied with only defensive weapons by its NATO neighbors? Is the supply of those weapons on condition that Ukraine won’t attempt to destroy Russian weapons or Russian weapon platforms or energy sources or supply lines on or over Russian territory? Mr. Putin has hinted that he is willing to use nuclear weapons. Western analysts are reporting that the Russians have withdrawn from the area near Kiev. Do they realize that a common tactic in warfare is to withdraw troops from an area that is about to be shelled or bombed? Who has been thinking what the Ukrainins (or/and NATO) should “require” as a condition of offering Mr. Putin assurances that Ukraine will not attempt to destroy Russian assets within Russian territory? Is there any point in Ukraine trying to win this war until there is such a plan? (Expletive deleted), when will the majority of people in this world think about more than who to “support” in this kind of a conflict?

Yes the Ukrainians can push the Russians out of that arc because they need to defend the whole thing whereas Ukraine can choose to concentrate locally and unexpectedly. A look at the map shows they could "surround" large Russian forces against the Sea of Azov.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread. 26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. 27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. 28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him. 33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged. 34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. 35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree. 36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. 37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. 38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble. 40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

Did not lose. Just left it to the Afghans to defend themselves.

We went into Afghanistan because the 9/11 attacks were planned and organized from there. We went there to rout out the terrorists and suppress their ability to attack us again. That was the objective and I think the US did it pretty well. Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces and its been 20 years and we haven't had another 9/11 style attack again.

Let's get this straight, we did not lose in Viet Nam or Afghanistan. We were there to only provide support but it is up to governments to have the will to win. Both failed in these countries due to corruption and not backing their troops. Look at South Korea that was a sucess because the people had the will to win and were supported.

this guy really didn't add much to the convo Fail (wonder how much these dudes with huge pensions get paid for these few minutes if nothing. Anybody know?)

Lost the war ? It was a war that could not be won you only have to look at history to understand that . For the life of me I never did understand why America and its allies thought they could subdue Afghanistan . Britain tried it the Russians tried it then America together with the British tried it . The British should have known better !! America went after Bin Laden that was legitimate after 9/11 but what followed was just crazy . Two unnecessary wars Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time I think America bit off more than it could chew . Just as Putin has done in Ukraine !! Its often the politicians that creates the problem as was the case in both these wars .

A igualdade social existe no que respeita a vida em todos os níveis de capacidade de momento; a gratuidade é o único recurso capaz de respeitar a vida em todos os níveis de capacidade de momento. Quando existe a busca por poder em que o ser humano não sabe compartilhar ou perder um pouco para que todos ganhem; existem os abusos políticos as guerras e disputas que trazem desgraças e sofrimento para as pessoas. Capitalismo e socialismo são apenas variáveis dependentes da gratuidade para efeito de igualdade social e evolução humana; essas são condições firmamentais e científicas. Eu recomendo acreditar e seguir os ensinamentos de Jesus Cristo...

This General, he's about as right about this war as he was about the Afghanistan war.

Why does one of our US generals have depictions of Chinese culture in the background? Hummm…

guys... did you really think Russia was planning take Kiev with 40 000 troops? Are you kidding me, did anyone hear about Maneuver warfare? Wow... great specialist we have in NATO, make me feel soo safe...

Ah an American General who couldn't defeat his enemy, and from a country that hasn't won a war since WWll excepting Panama Granada and Kuwait. Why ask those people ask someone who has the knowledge to have succeeded and not a failure.

Technically USA won the Iraq war, and in Afghanistan they also won. You have to define winning. Otherwise Russia also never won a war (they had to retreat from Georgia, Afghanistan, Cecenia and in Syria they are still bogged without having won anything if not the siege, with the total destruction of, in Aleppo ... they so much won that their old empire collapsed. True is that USA did not win in Vietnam though.

@@farokudahitam Putin supporters are very confused as a direct result of the propaganda they are consuming. In their minds Kyiv fell on day three, and Putin occupied all of Ukraine in less than a week. Putin decapitated the Ukrainian government and now the country is completely under Russian control... It's a huge victory for Putin and Russia! Then they start smirking and talking about Putin's nuclear weapons, because Putin's victory is so BIGLY and HUGE he needs to threaten nukes.

So many analyst say Kyiv is distraction front to pin Ukraine Army, not to capture Kyiv, whilst eastern front is where the real battle to tackle the core of the real hostiles, General sir. Sustainable war economics needs blinded patriotism from seeing real issues and support arm intervention by "occupation" ' "intervention" and "invasion" and create laws to support extreme measures like " 2002 -Hague Invasion Act." War is a crime, so armed conflicts for self determination is either terrorism or freedom fighters. Ahh so easy to flip the narratives. Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

That's the blueprint of the current situation Here's your "West" area, and here's Russia's area. The demands of Russia are not so huge, it's easy to satisfy them.

Biden will do nothing.
