Lt. Gen H. R. McMaster on the Future of War 

Hey Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, you are the man, Love your work. You have a heart, a soul and a great mind. Keep it up

Good Clear Presentation. It's good to be able to anticipate the enemy.

His book is fantastic. I began reading it immediately after reading Robert Mcnamara's book.

They fast tracked him since Gulf war. He was involved in the battle of 73 easting

I am a loyal USA citizen and plan on staying that way.

Very interesting. Thank you for the upload

Thank you for posting this today I actually love this good knowledge of the topic

Is this a re-upload? Seem to remember having watched this about a half year ago.

reupload to fix audio? pls at least be honest about it..

Hubby's connection happened during Obama's administration and while I am ok visiting Russia ( because of the native mongoians) I love my country and know our allies need our support and protection.

Gen. McMaster articulates clearly the now-traditional post-NATO-expansion view of Russian objectives and actions. China's objectives are different than Moscow's objectives. Stem from different historical and resource-driven considerations. Educated common sense, something that has been sorely missing at the priority-setting leadership level. This talk was given when Obama was President and Ash Carter was SecDef. It will be interesting to see how Gen. McMaster deals with the realities, now that he is being given the chance to sit back in his chair, take his pen and throw it up in the air and make it stick to the ceiling tiles.... This is his real job.... Thinking through the tough stuff while looking like he is doing not much at all. Tell McMaster that it is his job to make Gen. Kellogg do all the work... And that if Kellogg actually believes he is doing all the work, that is the measure of McMaster's success....

What a fantastic choice for NSC Director with such a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the world in crisis

The military branches are ALL vital with very distinct and different purposes.

Good explanation.

Warfare has drastically changed...

Good talk.

a great discussion

On a personal level... I can sit and eat dinner with an enemy... And have on a much smaller scale... But that does not mean I trust them...

THERE IS AN ECONOMIC MACHINE OR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ABOUND. It has been around since about 2012. One of its main goals, or its main goal, is to keep US inflation/CPI at 0-3%. It established military safeguards in Asia and Eastern Europe from 2012-2015 using the Russian, Turkish, Syrian, Chinese, and North Korean militaries. This was to avoid US aggression after it infiltrated the US economy via dampening inflation/CPI. That is why even 3-5 years after the 2008 recession, inflation figures were so abnormally low.Then in 2015, given the US' 8 year recessionary cycle, it propped up asset prices, including the US stock market. Close observers of the US stock market can attest to this as it seemed to be tumbling but was abruptly halted. Inflation in 2015 was also becoming abnormally low or negative, so propping up asset prices made sense. Come 2017 Trump was placed in office. I, family, friends, and coworkers began to feel ill starting 2018, just as inflation neared the inflation ceiling. So spending was funneled to less inflationary avenues like medical care, or made less. Then from 2018-2019 Trump instituted tariffs. Right as inflation rose to as high as 2.5% in early 2020 COVID-19 struck dampening demand. The recession in 2020 if you notice was quick or short. It makes sense as it was relatively controlled via the tariffs cutting off a lack in demand by naturally lessing supply. Plus, COVID-19 mainly kills the elderly or those most frail, generally the least productive in society.

and study this too......every time you figure us out..we will adapt

Russia didnt need to portray US *meddling* as escalatory. The general public had recognized that the US *meddling* as escalatory.

Russia is not bad to me because I understand where they are coming from... But my loyalty lies with USA . Period.

My father in law sat on the board that decided who would be a West point officer.

Judging from the comments on this video, it seems McMaster makes the putinbots lose their fucking minds. It's pretty entertaining to watch them squeal. On that merit alone he's a great pick.

Reminds me of the local manager at Burger King.

He is obviously extremely clever, but those trousers make him look like a brass band member or an elevator attendant

I like this guy.

Maybe I'm just a military ignorant - but I'm puzzled by how much he reveals. Maybe it's ok, the enemy knows it already... but I'm surprised...

Manionggor: You will go to USA soon in month of june Tommy: Maybe, but i wlll go to Australia first there is something i want to said to him. Manionggor: Nga Hutanda i.

i can hack most......but i rather help.....not hurt

What scared me was when the last administration started defunding our service men. Thank heavens Trump got in and allowed military professionals to rebuild and handle military situations...

Dear H.R McMaster, what is your email address?Best regards,Marty

the army will never get smaller.....every american has a duty...here

did you know..as soon as i was born in america......i have a duty to our grand children.........no uniform required

I preferred him as a tank commander

lol.......she looks like the first to flip out

what he said...was plan a b c d e f and g

we also remember the Catholic affairs that held us responsible for the crime build up to bank on Indian affairs and yeah it causes our breaks in our trail because they forget that the same laws that took many to the grave in their days and against their own land and people treasonously guide the people to help and that weights heavy on my life and many other cultures that didn't knievany better but does in spite of a sacrifice hunting and hiding behind the law because obviously they thought they made them as close as they could have locked and keyed up our belief in the father son and holy spirit

McMaster, i get your humor :) Let it just be with the machines!!! From deep deep down let the kettle of some old disgusting frown be so brown its upside down..... let us turn over the hour gl;ass and wind our watch and take on this mission. We have Mega Marty Verse on our side.

costly......how much money and lives did that cost the american people general

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Hubster almost got caught up in Russian business... I told him... Hell no.

general...we should not be mad at countries we attack...and one day i want to raise my flag to the top again before i die

you better know general..there is a militia in every state......and half of them work for you

but it's too late

Cannot see all his stars! Distracting! Frustrating! His shoulder straps look like shoulder puffs! Feminine! SMH

where we gonna get all this money to do all the stuff this guy is talking about?

that's the truth out of body out of mind and out of mind where are they in their mental state of mind and yeah I and go regime state of mind's that the regime's have been in and the cycle continues in Syria to hurt the children and hardness of heart that could resounding in hate by them blaming some One else not saying they are doing it on purpose but it's being a controlled territory

This dude says Amerricaa powerrrr oh my fuck I am done lol 16:31

i rather not have allies......that might become my enemy the next day

I thought it was an snl comedy skit with Will Ferrel

Can someone explain how this man is a "bullshitter"?

Everything he said about Russia is a rude lie, I think he knows anything about what happened in Georgia and what is happening in Ukraine I'm very sure about it

I a question for everyone here. Why americans call russian their enemies while the russian call americans partners?

This guy is 54? jesus christ...

He talks about 'restricting movement' in certain domains around China which basically translates in to expansion US hegemony. Talking about 'China engaging in the largest theft of intellectual property in history' is a strawman argument. Its like saying Israel was the cause of 9/11 and then turning around and punishing Israel by forcing it to give back Gush Katif. This guy is fullbred ingrained military sociopathic agenda of world wide domination by the US military while at the same time painting a picture to the US citizens of how scary the world is and how much 'we need them' to 'protect us' from 'the bad guys'. As for Korea? Look up Lt General Hodges with relation to the Korean war. The US was the key cause that the Koreas split.

The man who is now NSA thinks asking the question "should we have invaded Iraq" isnt the most important question about that conflict. Wow.

Kinda ironic how McMaster warns for Russian aggression and is now NSA of the Trump administration. At least he knows what is going on. Hopefully he will change American policy to a more assertive one towards Putin.

good job Trump keep it up

A well dressed well spoken sociopath. But hes still a sociopath

I'm loving all of the shilling in this comment thread.

most normal people stand behind the podium when speaking but not this bald military dude it seems

..and Russia, of course, will be standing still waiting for the US to catchup....

Bla, bla, and more blaaaaaaa.........

Max Boot would say, what do the people of Ukraine think? What is public opinion in Ukraine?

We spent 35 years developing the F-22 and F-35, and a couple trillion dollars to do so. We have about 120 F-22s, and there will be no more. We were supposed to have 2000 of them. And the Air Force just announced that we're basically throwing the F-35away so we can get more 4++ gen fighters because the F-35 is too expensive to fl, maintain, and arm. And we were supposed to have 2000 of those, too. Then talk to me about the Zumalt, where we were supposed to get 33, but ended up with three. Then about the Littoal Combat ships. They're falling apart in 10 years because apparently the Navy didn't realize that salt water does Bad Things to aluminum. At the V-22, that took 30 years to get into service. At the B-2, a plane that cost three times its weight in gold when first built. We have what? 24 of them? How many HUNDREDS were we supposed to have? When you tell me we need to spend more, I will point at the procurement process as it currently stands and ask you what the HELL we're doing with THAT money. Fix procurement. The days of unlimited budgets and generational development cycles are over. We need to be able to MASS PRODUCE weapons, not lovingly craft them from artisan sources. Because a Russian air base was knocked out for several days by Syrian insurgents using drones that you can buy on the interwebs. And they have instruction manuals on how to build rockets from standard construction equipment. And you better DAMNED sure be able to fight when the Russians or Chinese pull a Gaius Balthar on us and brick our electronics in a cyber attack.

study this......what is better..........dying on your feet......or on your knees......most of the world knows which one they will pick

now ask yourself............ if you were iran........would you let iraq do it again.......most sane people..backs iran

that man just said..america takes one step forward..and 2 steps back....when washington should not use our military to rob other countrys including our own

Listening to this guy is like living in a parallel universe. The question remains. Does he really believe the things he says ? ie; Russia invaded Ukraine, Russia Invaded Georgia.
