General Hodges is a great American and world leader

[@michelemarr76]

Thank you for this informative video. I'm a lay person trying to educate myself on these important issues. My brother was 101st Airborn and is fuming over US lack of support to Ukraine, as am I I support Ukraine 💯.

[@olasylvia1]

I hear a lot of republicans stating that they will not vote for trump because they care about Ukraine. Great talk, as always good to hear a real supporter , especially gen. Hodges.

[@paulstewart4195]

The Kiev Neo Nazis are done 🇷🇺

[@monopalle5768]

I don't hear any of that.... The only people who thought Trump was pro russian, was CNN and left wing media.... As a Trump supporter and follower, I never heard him praise Putin, it's ALL media lies, believed by people who refuse to check.

Interesting discussion. General Ben Hodges always makes great strategic suggestions for Ukrainian wins and Russian demise. I wish President Joe Biden would listen to him, I wish that nations would listen to him. The sound on number ones microphone is terrible. Thank you all for this interesting discussion. Slava Ukraine!🇺🇦🇺🇦

[@davidcpugh8743]

As a combat veteran, have a great respect for General Hodges. Veterans are large numbers and most vote as a bloc on these issues.

Always love to see the good general. His analyses always seem to be spot on. He'd be a better pick than Austin atm imo.

[@bigolboomerbelly4348]

Thanks for the discussion. Gen Hodges is correct. The russians will make a mess out of international stability. A lot of people don't understand how that effects them but it does. It makes the edonomy, travel etc worse. Instability makes everything worse. 👍🇺🇦

[@paulstewart4195]

Unlike the Americans. Libya Afghanistan Israel Iraq Syria 🤣unfortunately Russia is not a small defenceless Arab state with no airforce mind you thd Americans could not even defeat those 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

[@paulstewart4195]

Hodges has never been right about anything. Ukrainenato will win 🤣🤣🤣

[@marisabenson1222]

Thankyou Ben Hodges

[@wesleyallen1173]

I am writing this about 6 days after it posted; The house has finally passed the bill to help fund Ukraine. All that speaker johnson proved was it was 100% politics to protect his job. thousands if not tens of thousands of Ukrainians died, or were injured, lost their homes, and businesses for one reason, and one reason only, to protect his backside, and his job. That is disgusting. 04-21-24

[@loucaribou7765]

Gen. Hodges is great

[@davidcpugh8743]

Hoping that as a retired effective general, you persuade key congressmen todo the necessary. Speaking as a grunt from another war.

[@taralown7023]

the nuclear question about this programs exposure to corruption- was the exact one I had. Glad someone asked it.

[@tinykitten8937]

🇺🇲❤🇺🇦

[@maritaschweizer1117]

​@one4320 no Ben Hodges was not wrong. If a forcast under certain restictions were made and this restrictions did not happened than the statement was correct. This are simple rules of logic.

[@squireson]

Honoring your pre-existing arms contracts has had a generous benefit. Russia has delayed deliveries and that is part of why their orders are collapsing. This is a death blow to a military that depends on exports to fund it modern systems. Russia's military is going to wind up stuck in the 1990s.

[@ccoomb]

Question for Ben: Did you hear Hakeem Jeffries today say that the US must support Ukraine "... until Victory!"? Is the American leadership tide turning?

[@sballantine8127]

The audio is so bad that I was only able to understand maybe 50% of what General Hodges said and maybe 10% of what he following two speakers said. Such a shame.

[@slimski]

Awful audio!

[@slimski]

Always have a backup Just set a phone to record near or on the stage

[@APW-ry2ok]

Sack the sound man.

[@bubavaal4888]

😂😂😂😂 Ben even if you bring back your father's first generation nothing can stop Russian from dismantling Ukraine not in that studio with your lies 😂😂😂😂

[@davidcpugh8743]

Sadly Joe Biden wobbles while Donald Trump counter punches. Not a good look for USA.

[@monopalle5768]

Why is Crimea such a big deal for Ukraines future? All of us nations have lost land, you build a NEW city, a NEW port.... They have other coastal areas.

[@user-tv3ph9ye1e]

Ben been wrong on every analysis from 2022😂😂..he said party on the sea of azov by summer 2023😂😂😂..smh.he has never won a battle also

[@maritaschweizer1117]

You simply do not listen what he said. He forcasted a sucsess of the 2023 offensive is the aid arrive in time. The delay allowed the Russians to build the Soroviki line.

[@Kakker71]

...so you thought you'd join KZbin in October 23 to tell everybody he was wrong? 😀

[@Heater-v1.0.0]

Rus bot in the house.

[@aniakuchta6382]

Blah blah blah. Go to sleep.

[@paulstewart4195]
