Requiring Ukraine to defeat the Russian Federation without hitting legitimate targets in Russian territory, is like asking Oleksandr Usyk to beat Tyson Fury without punching him in the head. It makes no strategic sense to force Ukraine to operate at such a constant tactical disadvantage. Unless the plan is simply to see what occurs first: whether Putin runs out of time; or, Ukraine runs out men. It is arrant cowardice and complicity unworthy of our war-dead of the last two world wars to let Russia run roughshod over Ukraine in this way. This chap is a rare species these days: a man with both a brain and a backbone.

He is not a politician, he would make a great secretary of defense. General Grant was a brilliant general, but, had less success as a President. Eisenhower was a staff officer who regularly dealt with Congress, and, as Supreme Commander, he had the task of organizing the effort, the generals on the ground were Bradley, Patton, and, Montgomery. That, is why Eisenhower had a good presidency. Hodges would make a great secretary of defense, not a president.
Ben Hodges has been consistent from day one in his understanding what Russia is planning.

And maybe they did, Rusia failed to take Kiev in two weeks or less as expected, may the encirclement of Kiev have worked, Ukraine would have capitulated long ago.
Please stand for President, Lt.Gen.Hodges!!!
Ben Hodges is the man!!!!
How can these people lie like this?
Asking for a friend - if the war is going so well, why do all the “allied countries” need to send so many $billions?
Gen Hodges has an excellent track record in being right. A difficult thing to do at the best of times.
I hope President Biden will hear as soon as possible to voices like this from Gen. Hodges and not to wimps like Jake Sullivan. Every think that Sullivan had to magage he messed up. Thank for the great interview.

The Bide administration has shown deep support for Zelenskyj specifically and for Ukraine generally but the US congress is the real obstacle. Try to put the blame where it belongs.

Ben Hodges is my northstar on Ukraine. Brilliant insights, huge heart and has campaigned tirelessly in support of Ukraine. Wish he would replace Jake Sullivan.
Ben Hodges is brilliant and all world leaders should pay heed to every word he says. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
This man talks so much sense, please go into politics Lt-Gen, Ben Hodges. Absolutely brilliant conversation and the interviewer was very good also. In fact she was brilliant in her job and the line of questioning was fantastic.

While he's in the States, Trump should invite him down to his home state of Florida and pick his brain for a rational strategy. Trump doesn't want to be a loser.

@@AstroGremlinAmerican Trump cares about himself only. He is a narcissist and he doesn't even care about democracy. If he's voted, don't be surprised to see your country turn into a dictatorship. It sounds crazy because it will be the first time, but it was also the first time when power didn't change hands peacefully after an election.
This guy been saying this since 2022. The also was say russia is running out of missiles
Ben Hodges nails it as always
BRAVO general Hodges!.TOTALY AGREE..100%👏👏👍👍
Well said Gen. Ben Hodges! Always talking sense without the BS 🏴❤️🇺🇦💪
More lies as usual.
NATO and peace do not mix
Everyone is afraid this would escalate.. As a finn i am asking why not escalate? Nato troops to ukraine and thos war is over really fast. Putin wont start nuclear war over few stolen ukrainian oblasts.

True. Russia keeps escalating. Only a few days ago they fired missiles against 2 children's hospitals. Isn't that escalation? Isn't an invasion an escalation?

STOP Listening to this NEOCON and begin listening to DR COL Douglas McGregor and Tucker Carlson!!

its amazing that Ukraine is still holding on and fighting the Russians . At NATO insistence Ukraine has had to fight with one arm tied behind their back .

By design. Anyone thinking the arms flow is not controlled is delusional. No way can Ukraine win this. They're not even able to rotate battalions out of the front line. This guy is not commenting on ukranian losses
Insightful analysis by Hodges as usual. Vitally important his comments get through to those who need to hear and understand.
Surprise, surprise........a Lt. Gen. advocating for an escalation in the war.
Unfortunately Ben retired from the US military. That’s why he can now voice his opinion to what needs to happen for Ukraine to win this war. If only the main stream media would give him more air time.
Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges is my trusted source of news about Ukraine.

Great interview. Gen Hodges has been the most logical, honest and insightful analyst of this conflict since its start! I wish that HE was the person Western leaders (especially the United States) listened to?
Nato should stop interfering and talk peace and not fuel war.
Big Ben Hodges for President
