It's not much of a victory if your country is destroyed. This war was totally preventable.

I wish the general would've talked more about: "I don't think Russia itself is really gonna last another 5 years." (20:14 mark) What?!?

These men are indeed what makes America great. Educated, experienced, and committed. Generals, Sirs, thank you for your service, your leadership, and preparing the next generation of officers. Scholars, the rest of us can learn from your continuing pursuit of enlightenment and understanding. Thank you.

Great comparison of the Anzacs and Ukraine. love from Oz-Straya. Slava Ukraine.

What a brilliant discussion between these fine military minds. I could listen to these gentlemen talk for hours. As an Australian, it gratifying to see that a US General has a deep understanding of the significance to Australian and New Zealand people of Galipoli in 1915, a battle that forged the psyche and character into a new nation. The 25th of April is ANZAC day, celebrated at dawn, the same time the Australian and New zealand soldiers landen on the beach in Turkey. I am so touched that an American General would reference this.

High standard of commentary, intelligent, cogent and understandable.

Ben Hodges for PRESIDENT!!! I LOVE this guy. Eisenhower would be very proud of you, sir!

I realy feel deeply thankful for men lyke you, who defend moral values and peace. May God bless you all.

What a bunch of intelligent men, especially General Hodges.

23:55 Problem with the Green party in Germany is, that they are not hawks, but very aggressive pigeons, meaning they are aggressive in their foreign policy, but domestically they still are committed to policies that weaken Germany (terrible energy policy, uneasy with military spending and in general a disparaging attitude towards the Bundeswehr and national strength and identity)

Great conversation...

Very good talk. So well explained and argued. Despite your endless political wrangling in the USA, I have always admired your country for its ability to organise and conduct affairs, both civil and military, so efficiently. Greetings from Western Australia.

Thanks Gentlemen, Always a pleasure to eavesdrop on an adult conversation.

This war room has put my mind at ease.

Once you discover this show you wonder why anybody watches the network’s shallow analysis. Very good episode

Amazing how you can sit riveted listening to a discussion that you don't want to end. Great stuff thank you very much Hoover.

Great mix of commentary. Here's hoping their optimism is well founded and that the specter of war weariness does not prevail. As an Aussie I found the very appropriate analogy of the ANZAC spirit's birth in the Gallipoli crucible most gratifying. Thank you.

Excellent discussion, though many times I found myself wishing Mr. Cochrane wouldn't interrupt people as often as he does to make what I found to be less relevant comments than the ones he was cutting off.

So refreshing to hear actual professionals talk about this instead of bloviating talking heads. Hard-headed, articulate, insightful.

It will be a rough extra week without this great program.

Love listening to you guys

Image quality is much better on each GoodFellow - no more grainy webcams...

HR: please explain how retired senior military obtain Ukrainian war information? In other words, what is degree of reliability?

Thank you General Hodges

I'd like to find a contrasting view that made sense. I tried Counsel on Foreign Relations. Thy don't take comments. I commend you to an Australian, Perun. He had a gaming channel, but decided to do a video on Ukraine as he was tired of the media coverage. He had over the top response and he has done half a dozen over the last week. He does grand strategy, the microeconomics of what nation states should be spending scarce military dollars on and analysis of figures coming out of Ukraine.

I really enjoyed that. I noticed that no one brought up the issue of supplying the ukrainians with gasoline. Russia has destroyed every Ukrainian refinery. What happens when the tanks run out of gas?

Greatly appreciate the analyses. By contrast what’s going on in Ukraine and Russia, we are blessed to be Americans.

Excellent discussion. Thank you.

Very interesting and informative. These guys seem to know what they are talking about. Maybe that's because I agree.

Guys are GREAT!!!

Mr. Cochrane didn't go into the 'economics of Russia,' i.e., Fossil Fuel sales to the EU and how the West is financing this Ukraine debacle. Great commentary though, Cheers and God bless.

The economist doesn't seem to understand the complexity of modern millitary hardware. A P52 was basically a combustion engine surrounded by some metal and hydraulics not a F35 that is a crazy complex system. Also the capabilities of a F35 are incredible vs the P52. A javelin is far more complex than anything from ww2.

Fantastic conversation.

what awesome analysis. Thank u gents....

I think there should be a shout out of thanks to Turkey I think they're doing a good job living up to their part and trying to help Ukraine prevail

Exceptional one-sided conversation. Amazing to watch and listen to our most educated and well-informed influencers speak so lightly to infusing America into war with Russia. Cooler heads will prevail, sadly it will not come from our betters.

My favorite weekly podcast. Ben Hodges is probably a very distant relative, given our surnames !

A great conversation and deep analysis. Thank you gentlemen very much.

Amazing show, thank you. Really felt for Ben as he looked exhausted towards the end.

This was a fascinating conversation, really enjoyed it

Again, Excellent. Thank you!

The Chinese forces will also be very top down, no?

"Winning" does not mean what it used to mean.

Fascinating informed comment, well done to all four participants David McCabe ireland

must settle this fight once and for all. Recapture Donbas and Crimea and all the latest Additions and have a strong backing

Great conversation.

You guys are great. Totally agree. Ben is bang on point.

This is just so terrifically good.

Thanks for this discussion. And for some levity, the new Russian Navy ships will have clear bottoms so they can see the old Russian Navy ships.

Very interesting interaction, so appreciate the intelligence!!

Love this vid. Thanks for sharing 😂.

"The moral is to the physical as three is to one." I'll be quoting that. Favorite show on any media or platform. Please keep it up.

Such edifying discussion. Thank you gentlemen

Thank you for an inspiring and enlightening conversation ☆

Ukraine 🇺🇦 is already winning. xx

Another good one! Thanks!

Fantastically fantastic and so tremendously informative.

GREAT SHOW!

Excellent.

Great show!👍👍👍 Now I have to wait two weeks for the next one? 😭

The US will fight to win against Russia right down to the last Ukrainian soldier

Appreciate the insights this group provides. Thank you

Great show. I am 85. Great disappointment 1n much of the last 10 years.

Very well thought of, as one would expect from a think-tank like Hoover Institute. Well done.

what a great show congrats

My hat goes for general Hodges 🎩. What a great professional 👍

I just hope you folks are correct in your assessment of the situation. If not, America better look out, or there is going to be a catastrophe.

Plz have Peter Zeihan on as the guest.

Great talk

A great discussion!

The most important things is to protect democracy - I agree with it 100%

I honestly think these very clever men are over optimistic and there is a dreadful hubris in the American elite

Russia fail to change regime in Ukraine just as the American failed to change regime in Syria, we are well aware of that. Ukraine is another Syria, everybody goes back home with loses. And the battle ground is left in ruins.

I LOVE Ukraine!!!

"Let us have faith that right makes might."

I appreciate you’re overly optimistic assessment of the situation.

high, high caliber

Have we considered whether China is waiting in the wings to take advantage of putins losses.

Optimistic and enlightening. This is a war that has to be won.

Draft HR McMaster for prez in 2024!!!

Thanks for this valuable discussion and insights.

Just what is Ukraine going to win?

Very interesting discussion. McMasters had solid thoughts on production and procurement.

Great conversation

Great talk, I was wondering about the supposed fearsome Wagner group. Has the Wagner group done a lot of damage?

Thank you gentlemen for your very illuminating conversation.

To the Good Fellows.

Outstanding.

Great discussion!

Great discussion, very interesting!

Brilliant show!!! I want more.

Ucranians big men, I supose wil give a good use to 4000 Kalories / each one, to portuguese's special forces combat rations.The regular ones are also very good. It's nºI heathy, tasty combat ration.

1:30 in Germany we call it just Germany

Ukraine has to take back Crimea to win.

Putin's already exhausted his army. Stands to reason why the Russians have had to try and recruit Syrian soldiers. xx

Nobody wins

Excellent ..real professional pundits ... Slava Ukraine

it was a parking ticket

the main aspect of victory is preparation and strtegy, as Diagnosis is essencial for a proper patient treatment. Very wel said. I´l dare to name you ilustrious brother!
