Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges SERVED INT WO WARS, IRAK AND AFGHANISTAN : TWO WARS THAT UNITED-STATES LOST. WOW I'M IMPRESSED.
Russia is kicking our a** That's why they're not gonna use new Nuclear weapons.
Putins stupidly game over .
Where are you getting the troops? Are you gonna draft Americans and send them over there? Get Mercenaries from Africa.
How many Ukrainians are left?
This Hodges guy has been saying the same thing for 2 years now… that Ukraine is imminently winning.. now whilst I really, really wish it to be true… nothing moves the way he is claiming.
This channel has been saying it’s game over for a couple of years now. It’s a good job these people are not meteorologists. Poor reporting or wishful thinking?
روسیه❤❤❤
But its bulshit because they are wiped out
I think this war monger guy is an idiot
To answer to minute 17, in order to keep a lid on the flow of information on Kursk to rest of RF, people who fled are not being permitted to travel to other parts of the country, they are being kept in refugee camps to be deported to sections (Oblasts) of southern and eastern Ukraine presently occupied by RF troops.
Since we're footing the bill, we have a right to know! Don't say otherwise, General!
To the Seym. Ukraine's claim. Time to play border name game.
I'm keeping this video as a testimony and I'll come back in a week.
On the 12th. Clueless !
Hodges announced the conquer of Crimea by last fall…. That is the guy.
28 years in charge in Iraq and Afghanistan, what a complete dailure that was. Its always good to come here to this page a day after hearing this plonker commenrs. The guy is a complete idiot.
When you have three Russian generals , who had been moved from higher duty . And they turn out missing early on . And Ukraine doesn’t brags about such a capture . And now it’s being said they are loyal still to Russia . Makes one think about what really is going on here . How so much intelligence was suddenly provided to allow such a rapid advancement with the most critical events being taken out for the first time . At the start of a massive operation. And the excuse of all three generals for the first time possibly for the first time . As they all check in several times a day without issues . Then suddenly at the start of all of this so much had failed at the very start . One has to be a non military mindset to realize that those three generals who were being punished and sent to the front . And suddenly you have the three generals who can’t talk to who they always had and drones go out and best strategy to advance so quickly into Unkown fully situation. A very telling event that you would expect from an alcoholic general team who had enough and had the easy way out to sit back and drink while being taken out of the war . That is were they were farthest from and had much more luxury lifestyle as respect were ever they opened doors . This smells like a clear sense of traders that had been working to show they could help the enemy . And when tested it was found at least a high level of confidence in information. And welcomed and defected early on , then hidden that Russians did not know the location of its generals . But as time passed and it’s clear they had been early in all three joined the other forces and now after this time had passed a cover story is released and you can guess the rest of the story .
It would be useful to look at a map.
1) The Ukrainian operation seems to make no sense. Even the German in 1943 during the battle of Kursk didn't attack in this place because they knew that it would lead nowhere. There is nothing of strategical importance – no industry, few roads, no logistical hubs, no important towns.
2) While squad sized Ukrainian units drive in the middle of nowhere with little to no Russian opposition, the Russians are closing on Pokrovsk the main logistical hub of the Ukrainian army in the Donetsk region.
3) If Pokrovsk falls to Russia and the Ukrainians capture a few dozens of villages in the middle of the woods, wouldn't those troops be better used to defend a vital town like Pokrovsk ?
NATO wont never win this war. No one did in history…love to Russia❤
Yeah, this is the guy who told us Russia is nearly depleted of all resources, merely three weeks into the war, and was about to collapse. Been there, done that, dude.
Rasputin -> putin
AS ALWAYS YOU WILL ONLY FIND UK FASCIST PROPAGANDA HERE.
I agree with general Hodges, fantastic job James!
If nothing else, it seems Ukrainian leadership can keep a secret.
Don’t give ur guess , this not Ukraine it’s NATO and US . What r u trying to tell us that it’s Ukraine’s ability to?
You say the Russian slow you guys so fast run out of almost every place, specially Afghanistan
Lol! Totally disagree.That invasion cooked Ukraine's goose. Now they are guaranteed losing everything.
That's not a slow and chaotic reaction. It's Just a Russian's way of thinking things through.
Slava Ukrayini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Bears move slowly, but they do move.
Stand up comedy as always
I think they want Russian citizens to suffer hoping they will overthrow Putin
Ujrains ability to sustain has less to do with Russia than it has to do with the West.
Hodges has been wrong so consistently I tune in to see what's not going to happen. #crimeabylunchtime
Did Times Radio know that Russians knew two months earlier about Kursk invasion,it was allowed to happen,just to check how serious we're Ukraine and the supporters of Ukraine were interested in peace.
There was another misconception that Russians did not have enough trained soldeirs they forgot at any one time only 15 to 20% of the Russian military is involved in the war in Ukraine
Gen Hodges is a brilliant man…..
