When this is all over Russia will have become a truncated version of its former self. Crimea will be Ukrainian once more. In fact many borders will be redrawn. Manchuria will once again be Chinese.

Great reporting

I have my Ukrainian Flag ready to hoist when Crimea is returned to Ukraine -my Great, Great Materrnal Grandfather was in the charge of The Light Brigade, and my Grandma once showed me his photo with his medals-now it's time to make sure Crimea is returned to Ukraine ! Слава Україні!

Would love to walk the route of the charge if the light brigade again Was a fantastic experience to do that.The valley of death is a huge vineyard but there are markers as to where the Russian guns were etc etc .My brother in law was in the 17/21st regiment.

That’s justice for Ukraine.

I was so impressed by Gen. Hodges's analysis of this war several months ago that I bought his book, which is excellent. It's a heavy read, to be sure, and I'm having to read it slowly, but I think it's a great book and well worth buying and reading. It's called "Future War and the Defence of Europe". Buy it today.

It is very important that Putin does lose everything he has taken, as anything else sends an appalling message to leaders of other nations that still feel other nations are there just for their military to grab. That era must now be in the past, and borders respected by both individuals and nations.

@@vincentdesapio My point is that Hodges accurately predicted that Kiev wouldn't fall when others said it would. Precisely because it was the general consensus (groupthink) and Hodges dared to think otherwise, and was proven right, is what distinguishes a brilliant strategist from a standard tactician. Hodges is the former. Most of today's generals are the latter. I am more apt to listen to what Hodges says about how things will play out vs other pundits because of this fact.

The “amount of whining” I love 💗 this guy

It's always refreshing hearing from military people because they're not afraid of offending the other side (or our side) or twisting the truth.

The interviewer said it best at the end "Liberation of Crimea, what a moment that would be." Perfect.

Winter analysis: study the Finnish-Russo war and there you will find your answer.

I love Ben Hodges. Informed, plain spoken, highly intelligent, highly experienced, highly objective.

Slava Ukraine......from Chile.

Hodges always puts it well. Certainly feel more optimistic about the situation after hearing him. I’m just wondering how many unthinkable terrors and crimes will be escalated by Russia people until summer next year . 😬 🇺🇦❤️‍🔥🇺🇦💪🏻

Praise God for His love and mercy freedom blessings for Ukrainians. Slava Ukraini forever ♥ ❤ 💙 💖 💕 💓 ♥ ❤ 💙 💖

Always interesting and to the point!

Time for Russia to face the fight on their actual own land. It can't be that they can fire weapons of mass destruction from within their nation and think they sit safe. It would surely be cheaper and less destructive to deal with them faster than slower and get life back to basics. Slava Ukraine
