What he failed to acknowledge is that the Russian are fighting with no reason or heart and the Ukrainians are fighting with heart and with reason.

My heart hasn't ached this much since family members deaths.

Seeing as how dumb this decision seems now, it now seems incredibly naive that anyone would refer to Putin's decision as "genius".

[rosenbaum]

The bravery Ukrainians and Zelensky have displayed is inspirational.

Let's remember that when the soviet union fell, the soldiers refused to fire at their fellow citizens. Some soldiers might not be willing to fire at the ukrainians citizens.

We should never forget the Republican party's complicity with Pukin.

As an American I can't be in peace until this horror ends. Putin must be stopped at all costs

[rogerhawkins]

Great interview, such sage and intelligent dialogue! Thank you General, outstanding contribution and observations!

[chudleyflusher]

Can you imagine anyone stupid enough to call Putin a “genius” for this move.
I can.

"Bigger and Stronger" armies don't always win wars. I can name Vietnam and Afghanistan as two examples.

[batgurrl]

Ukrainian President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people have shown remarkable resolve and courage. Their plight is so heartbreaking, yet they continue to be brave.

Sadly in wars throughout history this has happened again and again. In almost all wars there are atrocities. Look at almost any conflict and you will find evidence of executions, and the murder of civilians. War is not glorious. It is bloody, messy and painful and nearly always leaves a terrible legacy that takes maybe generations to heal.

[fireflash]

The thing is if we really held Putin accountable, this would not last for ten years.

[DuaneHallinSD]

Respect General McAffrey. Thank you for your service. 🥂

[jonhill]

There’s no way Putin can hold Ukraine, the civilians will simply never settle/forget/forgive

[guydegregg]

I was proud to serve under Gen Maccaffrey, outstanding leadership and steady as a clock. Sgt D.

[hilove]

My heart goes out to the men and woman fighting in Ukraine.

Best guest commentary on any news show. Have him back often!

[michaelSlick]

When you say "Willing to use force against civilians" what you mean to say is "Russia is willing to commit war crimes".

[birdlynn]

My Haiku for Ukraine;
Love for our country
We fight with hearts united
Glory to Ukraine!
