Putin's hold on Crimea 'nearly untenable' despite Ukraine's lack of Navy | Ben Hodges

“After nine years with every advantage, Russia still controls less than about 17% of Ukraine. They've lost 20% of their navy.”

Russia carrying out a wave of attacks on several cities across Ukraine overnight is “retaliation” for the striking of a warship in the occupied Crimean port, says former commander of U.S. Army forces in Europe, Gen. Ben Hodges.

Funny how Denmark is never mentioned, we were the first along with the Dutch to give F16's to Ukraine
and by population are the largest donator to Ukraine. Quote August 2023: Denmark’s prime minister, Mette Frederiksen, said her country would provide 19 jets – “hopefully” six around new year, eight more next year and the remaining five in 2025. “Please take this donation as a token of Denmark’s unwavering support for your country’s fight for freedom, ” Frederiksen said.

Gotta hand it to Hodges. He'll be trumpeting Ukrainian "victory" as Russian tanks roll through Kiev.

As the saying goes, we can pay now or we can pay later. Obviously deferred payments incure additional penalties - it almost always costs less to pay "up front". Why is it that some democracies are so slow to learn this lesson?

This guy is delusional. Have you ever been there? Do you actually know any Russians? Have you ever opened a history book? Where do you get these guys?

I look in the comments and see lots of obvious Krembots with fake western-style user names and it makes me smile, because it's obvious they know Russia has lost.

That 'warship' was a landing ship, the Novocherkask which was damaged in a March 2022 attack at Berdyansk and has been sitting for months in port for repairs. Hodges is
spouting blatant misinformation.
