Lt. General Ben Hodges (Ret.) | Are the US’ and Europe’s security interests growing apart?  

That’s a huge compliment, thank you very much. We will.

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes sir. I'm a polish person who has lived in US for 20 years. And the answers the Ben gives are simply top notch.

Best comment! Totally agree

Second best comment.

I've been saying this for months!! There are so many retired, relatively young, generals & colonels with so much experience in the military & allied cooperation in many countries, giving them an overall insight on world politics, and highly respected by their troops & civilians alike. Why can't they run for office & do what is needed for their constituents & country, which they will see as their duty? If they don't wanna run for a party they can form a 3rd party to counter both MAGA & the Dems. How tf can politicians & judges work into their eighties & respected military leaders who still have their full faculties and can still give great service for several years, have to retire from military service when they are still relatively young?? It just doesn't make sense! You guys really must overhaul your entire political and justice systems, cos for the last several months (even years!) you have relegated yourselves to Banana Republic status who doesn't have ANY RIGHT to EVEN COMMENT on what's happening ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!! You are DIRECTLY responsible for whatever happens in Ukraine & you will suffer huge casualties when Putin attacks your NATO allies & you will be FORCED to enter the war (after blocking weapons supply & helping to defeat Russia once & for all), which you will never accept & so wont even last as long as Ukraine has done before you beg for peace!!! Do the right thing now America!!! Civil War IS COMING TO YOU AT THE END OF THE YEAR, WHETHER TRUMP WINS OR NOT!!! So WAKE THE F UP NOW & get rid of them once & for all. Grow some balls & do the right thing!!! God is looking down on YOU & I really don't think he is very impressed!! Great respect for Ben & his respected colleagues!! You guys should be running America!!! SLAVA UKRAINI!!!

The clown who predicted the Ukrainato Neo Nazis would defeat Russia and the spring summer whatever offensive would see ukrainato reach the Azov sea🤡🤣Russia running out of missiles artillery and ammo🤣Russian morale crumbling 🤣Russian economy finished 😂meanwhile half a million ukrainato dead and 2 million wounded. And Russia taking Ukraine apart.this is your great analyst oh and a man who has never won a battle in his life 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺💪🏽

How about replacing Harris as VP:?

Hodges is an inept charlatan and analysist

The president literally can't do anything without congress. You're clueless

Yeah, I totally agree with you although I'm not an American I've been watching his every interview and views with regards to the Ukrainian war and he is the right person to deal with this huge problem the world is facing now, if he is a political figure and be very effective leader if elected as President of the U.S. instead of the reluctant minded Biden and unstable minded Trump. He is sincere and trustworthy.

Great idea.

@htown What a clueless comment. In that case why have a president at all? Can you think of any single post where a person would have more influence than the president?

Right. Wesley Clark is also excellent.

Admiral McCraven makes a lot of sense.

Not to forget General Breedlove who sounded the alarm one decade ago.

The man is completely deranged 😞

Up until a few weeks ago, I would have said the same for our Secretary of Defense, Lloyd J. Austin III, but his recent comments about not supporting Ukraine's attacks of Russian oil refineries unfortunately removes him from the list of respected leaders in my mind. 🚀 ❓ 🦧 - j q t -

Not president, but should be top military advisor to the president

Probably, they do not want to hear him.

With the press, the infighting, and trump spouting derision who would take the job. And he probably makes more doing this.

considering life on earth, and humanity,​@@danielcunningham2394trump has no value, beyond his constant debts

Well said. I didn't see your comment before I echoed it, but he makes for a great leader who commands from the front.

lol just a nut case war monger

Next level is Sarah Paine. Find a recent interview that goes for a few hours. It will develop an entire new neurological system on how you see the world. I’m sure Ben Hodges would strongly approve and agree with her interpretations.

He wants to defeat Russia, Scholz is hoping to resume the gas contracts.

That's why the system would never accept someone like him. He's not corrupt enough.

Exactly. Kennedy's assasination was both a lesson and a warning. Mike Johnson disgusts me. He has too much Ukrainian blood on his hands.

@@luckyfox5627bullshti he’s on bed with Dod the war machine. Plus, he said the Russian was gonna collapse a year ago not just that’s not true they’re getting rid of the incompetent generals changing tactics.

He'd just get mired in the swamp.

RFK ?

What General Ben Hodges lacks is an understanding of how a war can escalate into something beyond human control. The West should not play with nuclear weapons. Hodges is a tool of misinformation and propaganda. No disrespect to General Hodges; he is who he is.

Cameron appeared to, the one time I agreed with him, apparently

Hope is a good thing and it comes from God, but General Hodges is a liar: That type of hope will lead to destruction.

@@seekthetruth6713 general hodges is a professional who makes a professional assesment of the WW3

​@@seekthetruth6713 Ben Hodges do not repeat the Russian lies.

Imagine calling yourself seekthetruth. Sure, bud, sure. I thought troll factories tried harder so I am guessing this guy is a civilian sucked into Kremlin narratives and has no idea what infosphere he is in moment to moment.

Really, can't we move past the Hocus Pocus​@@seekthetruth6713

The biggest threat to contemporary civilization is the lack of honesty and conscientiousness - especially among the people who are supposed to inform and enlighten the masses. It's a pity when often the dishonest ignoramuses with an insufficient brain power are trying to "educate" the public on the subject of our - i.e., of the former USSR nations' - reality and history [especially when it is coupled with a strong intention to divide the union of Russian people (i.e., Russians-Ukrainians-Belorussians-Rusyns) - this is the scammers' old colonial trick "divide and conquer"]. Ukraine, being in the Russian state and in the USSR, became the founder of the USSR and of the UN, increased its territory around seven-fold, population - in around 22 times, and finally became the third power in the world by the main civilization characteristics in 1980-ths! As a Ukrainian, I state that the distorting Ukrainian history and reality media personalities and the instigating ethnic strife criminals should be brought to the future Ukraine Nation's Military Tribunal (in the way as it was done for the Nazis by the Nazi-hunting Wiesenthal Institute) - together with the creators and supporters of the scabies/короста on the body of our nation - current puppet néonazi anti-Ukrainian regime in Ukraine. The Hitler collaborators are the main heroes of this regime, the elite force of its army is "Azov" - which was recognized as a néonazi organization even by the US Congress, the slogans and greetings of this regime are copied from the ones of the Hitler collaborators, the anti-nazi are killed by the "death squads" or imprisoned, the national thinker Oles' Busina is demonstratively killed and his killers are funded the government! The people who really care about the civilization on the planet Earth and the free-thinking Ukrainians will always remember and hunt (again, to bring to the justice - as Wiesenthal did) the war criminals who have brought and/or supported puppet néonazi regimes in Ukraine and started the Civil war in our country ⚡

These are the types leading the world to a last conflict of humanity! Completely delusional warmonger with one track mind!

The best of America, how we like to think of you. Best wishes from Britain.

@@stephenhill545 Thank you, Mr. Hill. I pray all of our leaders follow his wisdom & that of President Biden who honor our alliances with other nations who seek democracy & freedom for all. 💙

Olen 100% samaa mieltä! Juuri kirjoitinkin kommentin täsmälleen samasta asiasta. Uskomattoman tärkeä keskustelu!!!

At least in retirement he has the freedom to speak his mind freely.

Maybe President Trump will appoint him to a senior foreign policy position.

Did they ever have courage?

France has rational strategic reasons for their more aggressive posture.

Same conclusion. The US administration is wrong thinking the Russian war on Ukraine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lZ4ZXeQ4-V0.html

61B just drags it out Ukraine have already lost

@@stephenglover1818 😔 Nobody wins. We have all lost, especially the Russian and Ukraninian people.

@@jameslowder7682 yes I agree with you

We should be starting foreign languages in kindergarten.

Amazing interviewer.

It’s been going on at least since the 1920’s . There were hearings in congress , etc. americans are as ignorant of their history as the rushin filth is of theirs . For similar reasons ….
