'The Kremlin knows this is not sustainable' as Putin's losses mount in Ukraine | Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges

Respect from Nottinghamshire.

Ben Hodges hasn't gotten anything right about Russia in the 2 years he's been bloviating.

Insightful? Are you insane? Just look at his record over the course of this war. Look at what he's been saying. Every single one of his predictions from the off, has been completely and utterly wrong Hodges is a warmonger, whose desire for war will drag us all into World War Three and mindlessly get us all killed. His own military experience was not very impressive. Hodges was beaten by a bunch of illiterate goat herders, armed with little more than rusty AK47s and WWII era rifles. Yet rather astonishingly, despite being beaten by the Afghans, he now thinks he has the correct strategy to beat the Russians. The man's a complete idiot.

Yes,you can just tell he knows what he's on about,which is refreshing because I've heard some proper rhubarb being spouted,which is annoying.

Hodges was completely wrong when he predicted Ukraine could retake Crimea

For a whole year in the beginning of the war he said he believes that Russia can be defeated including retaking Crimea by the end of 2023.

@@thegreatujo yeah well, even if it's in 2025... the man was wrong but nobody care, the main thing is Russia is a pariah state as long as they don't change their attitude, that's what counts.

Why talk about tings your not sure of Russia is a better country than Ukraine odds on better than the UK because no skiving migration taking all the money much better than America because Putin is alive and knows what's happening and not a Puppet what is controlled by big corporation for thier own gain.

@@AN-wp6fn Nonsense - provide documentary proof of any NATO resolution not to accept new members that decide voluntarily to join NAT0. No country outside NATO has a veto over membership. Secondly, no NATO country is mandated to join another country if it attacks any other country such as Russia because NATO is a defensive organisation - read article 5!

​@@philipmain5701Couldn't of put it better myself. Surprising how many do not even know how NATO works. Well said.

@@AN-wp6fn It is thanks to fools like you repeating Kremlin’s lying propaganda that these false tenets gain traction. Russia joining NATO under Putin? Give your head a shake. NATO attacking Russia? NATO is a defensive alliance that accepts aspiring new members as it sees fit; no country is ever pressured or coerced to join. On the contrary - there’s a stringent set of conditions that must be met and a unanimous agreement of member states that must be achieved prior to a new country joining. NATO expansion is NOT the reason for Russia attacking Ukraine - it is the imperialism that is in Russia’s DNA, and a hybrid (and now open) warfare against ALL former Soviet republics that is its modus operandi. What did Russia say or do in response to Finland and Sweden joining NATO? Sweet nothing. That proves beyond doubt that NATO has nothing to do with the reasons for Putin’s war.

@@philipmain5701 It’s a waste of time answering this Russian troll. He is just repeating the same old lies that I have seen again and again from these trolls.

​@@ivan-_-8577 Empty russkie threats

@@JohnNordic You decide on the version of the garbage that your brain has filled with. Are we making empty threats or are we attacking unprovoked and illegally? These are mutually exclusive things that can only coexist in the head of a schizophrenic. After all, before the war, everyone also said that everything Putin says is a bluff and empty threats. And now you are cackling about some unprovoked and illegal attack. You decide.

@@Serbinator_Dominator Come on man, he didnt say any of that. His analysis has been mostly spot on.

Especially the Hungarian minority in Ukraine is free. Some died at the front, while the other part was deprived of their linguistic rights.

Glad to hear a Hungarian on «the right side» of justice

Nah.

Then you have too kick out Orban from hungary

You've got absolutely no idea what you're talking about this is about selling military equipment nothing else

Since the biden admin has been ever so clear. have you heard any red line from the US? any strategic goal? any peace talk pursuits? nope just stumbling into ww3 because reasons. how far would we allow russia to go in ukraine?

I guess you don't understand the word SUPPORT. This current administration is not supporting the Ukraine so that they can win they just continue to die. Why do we keep getting involved in wars if not to win them? 🤔🇺🇸

Y why do you think Trump will do? Or not do?

Don’t fool yourself, he’s an establishment warmonger, who will do and say whatever he thinks his political and financial paymasters want him to. How do we know this? Because that’s how retired Generals make bank once they leave the machine. The US has created 8-10 trillion dollars worth of debt over the past 20 years alone that can never be paid back chasing “US strategic national interest” that has largely been about maintaining economic dominance and funneling money to the donor-class in the military industrial complex. It’s all a grift and he just wants his turn shoving his snout in the trough.

@@KenC56mm Trump sides with dictators, he wants what they have, unrestricted authority.

Joe Biden knows full well that war was invented to make Americans rich through selling military equipment nothing to do with saving the world which they're not very good at

Agreed.

If he knew what he was talking about, Ukraine would have taken Crimea by August 2023.

Joe Biden thinks we're still in the cold war.

@@bugsygoo You obviously didn't watch the video. Why are you even here? Go to RT and be happy. Bye bye

I've been saying this for a while. I have to completely agree with you. This is a win win win for the US. They get to test their weapons against a modern military for the first time since world war 2. Not only that, its against their biggest classic rival. Its boosting American economy with more jobs pouring into the military industrial complex. And getting rid of a lot of their old stockpiles that they would have had to pay to get rid of. Now they're getting dropped on their rival basically for free. And to top all this off. This is destroying Russia's economy, military, and general world standing. Without costing American lives. Unfortunately that means they're willing to sacrifice Ukrainian ones to do it

Way too slowly to the point of almost not being done at all.

Have you seen the state of Russia? Maybe you missed all the events since 2022? The Ruble is junk, massive inflation, kicked out of work banking system, 500k dead, refineries blown up, Warlords in fighting, random fires for insurance, aging population, pension cuts, mass incarceration, and censorship... It's quickly becoming the North Korea of Europe easily within a couple generations.

@@Whistlewalk Don't worry, but Russian strategic missiles fly fast.❤

@@Whistlewalk No. Slower than some would want, but there has been concern about Putin and his red button. If you look carefully you can see that Russia is rapidly using up the equipment left to it by the Soviet Union and they can't replace it at anywhere close to their loss rate. And Russia is spending their money on stuff that is just getting blown up. That leaves them with nothing to build up their county. Russia is being bled dry. Perhaps it could have been done faster, but there was a concern. There's another factor which is largely unrecognized. The world is switching from ICEVs to EVs. Last year 18% of new car purchases were EVs, it's projected that 25% will be this year. We've now entered the phase where technology transitions happen rapidly. The oil for fuel industry is going to collapse. Russia has very little to sell to the outside world once the market doesn't want its oil. Russia is wasting its capital and will be losing its major income source.

There will be some quickly dug out if he dares to go against that old thief Biden

He also took the oath to support our constitution.....that is the US version.

We have too few political leaders with military service.

What's felonies got to do with Presidents? No comprendo.

@@CarlMartin-hw3ev are you willing to hire a convicted felon to babysit your kids? Hold your wallet? Watch your house when you're on vacation?

It doesn’t matter who the president is when congress is full of sniveling garbage humans, who are in love with (and paid off by) Putin.

Nuclear Weapons change the equation a bit, but I don't disagree.

I actually think you're gen s because you know absolutely nothing about the situation and why the Americans are involved nothing to do with freedom or anybody threatening the United states only money

......whilst at the same time commemorating D-day. We get squeamish about national service - or even the idea of such a thing. Putin is right about the west - we are weak - dangerously weak. And weakness invites aggression - it is as simple as that.

​@@paulkrasnersure there is economic value in Ukraine. But that is not the reason Ru wants Ukraine, they were doing just fine economically without them. Its all about Ru Imperialism! Strategic territory and dominating their surroundings.

@@paulkrasner The irony is that, with Russia's abundant natural resources, it could potentially be the world's richest country. However, it is held back by authoritarian leadership, corruption and mismanagement of these resources. If properly managed, Russia could provide a very high standard of living for all its people. Instead, the country is mired in aggression and geopolitical conflicts, which further hinder its potential for economic growth and development.
