She ruined an otherwise solid interview by lending her legitimacy to absurd partisan attacks. It’s extremely unprofessional journalism to adopt as serious insinuations for which no evidence exists other than being strategically deployed by rivals to exploit crude stereotypes and prejudices. Old people are not senile. Gay people are not pedophiles. Women are not sexual harlots. Liberals are not snowflake socialists. It’s incredible that anyone takes as serious what Republicans say.

Is he aware that Russia attacked the peaceful, sovereign country of Ukraine? Why are all his propositions favorable to Russia? Why didn't he recommend to Putin to get the h'll out of Ukraine and give back all Ukrainian territory including Crimea? 🤔 As an after thought, I hope Biden is talking to Petraeus!

In my opinion, these are the people with no moral values at all, or at the minimum he can easily put principles and moral values aside so he can do his job which is to lie cheat, steal and kill... That's all the CIA does.... If you would care to listen to both sides you would easily see he's lying right now... But people don't do this, they will only listen to one side and then believe the understand what's going on.. That's not how the world works, if you want to understand anything, you always listen to both sides, Westerners don't seem to get this logic... I can't really blame you, they banned the other side, to prefend people from listening to Russia.. It's much easier to indoctrinate people, when you don't give them the chance to listen to other point of views... You see how brainwashing and manipulating works, it's very easy... If you truly had freedom of press, you would be able to listen to Russian media, but you don't have that freedom...

Military Genius She did a great interview
Always great to hear from Gen Petraeus - however the interviewer pushing him for a soundbite on Biden's mental state was pathetic to watch. Even after he repeated twice that he is not interested in commenting on it, she just kept going..
Gen Petraeus is the man. Very well spoken, you can tell how intelligent he is.
In Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan the Russians were supplying our opponents with huge quantities of arms and information. It is in no position to complain about Western assistance to Ukraine.

His later negligent dalliances, during which he leaked some intimate details concerning our national security, pale in comparison. He violated his sworn duty to obey civilian authority. He is untrustworthy, yet for-profit media finds that those tarnished baubles on his uniform can sell ads, so here we are. He will continue to be shoved in our faces, reminding us that those medals could carry his country's honor and respect only if they were worn by someone else.

Joe Biden was the youngest U.S. senator ever elected at age 30. He served in the senate for 36 years. He is an expert on foreign and domestic policy. His leadership in the Ukraine war has been superb. Regardless of your politics, his domestic accomplishments in less than two years has rarely been matched. Trump talked about an infrastructure bill for 4 years, one that was decades overdue. Biden delivered one and he did it with a 50/50 senate. America is America, in part, because we have a civilian run government. Eisenhower was a rare exception. Great generals and great CEOs don’t tend to be very good political leaders. It’s a different skill set (yes, of course there are some similarities).

He conducted major campaigns during WWII. He was the real deal and a true patriot. Petraeus doesn't have that kind of backbone. Many soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan don't have a positive view of this guy at all. Not to mention that the U.S. military failed in Iraq and Afghanistan, because after two decades those two nations are failed states.

A 2019 Rand Corporation study commissioned by the US Department of State and Defense laid out exactly what the plan to undermine and weaken Russia through military support for Ukraine would be. The study suggested arming Ukraine after a coup d'etat, imposing sanctions on Russia; ramping up economic warfare and taking a more aggressive and militaristic posture toward the United States’ international rival - all while warning that this could lead to a military invasion of Russia. And bingo, worked! Now just take the EU as an energy hostage by disconnecting it from Russian energy. They've already done it too, it's true. To destabilize Russia with a war in Ukraine and try a regime change in Moscow as in Kiev and to re-plunder Russia's natural resources as in the 90's with Yeltsin. And finally to ensure that China never accesses Russia's natural resources to continue to grow with the BRI and above all the Eurasian project with Russia and EU! Challenge the economic hegemony of the US dollar as the world's monetary reference. Oops, it looks like this part is going wrong in Global South! and the US risks that 85% of the world's population will stop funding the US debt and the American way of life. Basically plundering the natural resources of all world since the end of WWII. And especially after the dissolution of the USSR with a unipolar world order with the Sheriff in Washington! Now desperate, seeing the military conflict in Ukraine lead to a defeat much worse than Afghanistan despite all the disinformation campaign at MSM and clowns like Petreaus! That knows lose wars like no other soldier alive! Taht's why it's just a puppet and a parrot like the comediant in Kiev.
