Putin at risk of losing Crimea if US allows Ukraine to strike Russian military targets | Frontline

"You can make Crimea impossible for the Russians to hold onto… That is the centre of gravity.”

Russia could be defeated at last if the US gives Ukraine the green-light to strike legitimate military targets in Crimea, says Major General Sir Richard Shirreff.

It's insane how much USA is willing to hobble Ukraine's ability to fight back Russia.

1.5 to 2 years after announced the F-16’s still are not there….

I HATE these intros. Just play it from start to finsh with none of this 'clever' editing.

James is one of the BEST interviewers on the channel!!

You've demoted Sir Richard. He attained the rank of General, two ranks above Major General.

"Supply issues for Ukraine have been much discussed but do you think there is a real issue for Russia as well at the moment"
Of course, why do you think Russia went to Iran for drones and North Korea for shells?
The question is who is going to give them tanks when they run out of usable Soviet reserves in 2-3 years and have to rely on new production?

les russes ont déjà perdu la Crimée mais ils ne le savent pas ou se bouchent les yeux et les oreilles !

An excellent insightful interview. A very knowledgeable military officer. 🇨🇦

Amount of deleted comments are unbelievable

Crimea is Ukranian territory so there is NO restriction on weapons use on Ukrainian territory!

I always enjoy listening to the General. Good interview, thank you.

[thomasmills]

All conditional on the USA allowing Ukraine to do so. 😢

Thank you for another interesting interview.

Actually Russia is falling apart right at this moment. There is no electric or water in Karsnodar as of 2 hrs ago, and the temp is plus 39 c....

Our dithering self restraint under President Biden is embarrassing, but not nearly as bad as the actions of Putin’s pal Trump, or the statements and lies of JD Vance and MAGA.

Interesting painting, looks like a boer commando.

Comments filters are just OTT and downright terrible on here! 👎

People blaim Biden, but even this guy and myself mix up names daily, Biden rules.

I don’t like this headline, it assumes Russia owns Crimea and it has only occupied it since 2014/15
