“We need to decide that we want Ukraine to win”

In Washington and Brussels, there’s been a reluctance to say that “we want Ukraine to win,” says General Ben Hodges, who commanded the US Army in Europe from 2014 until 2017. Giving a frank assessment of what the US got wrong by not strongly backing Ukraine after Russia’s initial 2014 invasion. Gen. Hodges succinctly lays out how Ukraine can “liberate Crimea by the end of August 2023, assuming the West stick together and deliver everything we said we’d deliver, including longer-range precision weapons.” Hedges also gives his take on what the astonishing human toll that Russia’s war against Ukraine has taken.

All of General Ben Hodges' interviews are so good. I wish some of the EU ministers who are not up to speed would listen to his advice. Thank you for the interview.

Keep going Ukraine. I’ve wanted you to “win” since late February last year once I snapped out of it and realized what Russia was doing to you and to others. Keep going Ukraine. 💪🏼🇺🇦

Ben Hodges is great man with great knowledge!

[matsfrommusic]

Hodges acknowledgement of his "embarrassingly" wrong assessments of Russia's military capabilities before Feb. 24, only speaks to his competence and the ability to be agile and adapt to what is actually happening, which incidentally is exactly the qualities the Russian is lacking.

Germany's excuses about Tanks are sickening. Who would base their defence on German equipment now?

With everything going on right now, the best decision to be on any creative man's heart is having a profitable investment strategy.

The Ukrainian people must know that there are many of us who are deeply frustrated to hear more nonsense from Germany regarding the Leopards.

General Ben Hodges has been the voice of Reason since Day 1 ... 💙💛🙏🇺🇦

Russia must leave the Security Council or the UN has to cancel and reform the Council.
