Ben Hodges: Putin’s War is Draining Russian Soldiers

Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine is costing the Kremlin and Russia's populations thousands of lives. The longer it continues, the less experienced, seasoned and professional soldiers Moscow has, increasingly relying on conscripts or even volunteers as is the case in defending from Kyiv's Kursk offensive. However, Ukraine is struggling with its own troop numbers and growing average age as its population plummets. Lt Gen Ben Hodges and former Commander of US Army Europe outlines the details.

General Hodges is easily my favorite commentator on this war. He’s insightful and fair in his assessments.

[@theglobalgambit]

@@WilfKruggel-og1hi he’ll be back in Oct!

[@crepuscularwintersky]

If people would just listen to General Ben, we would all be better off.

[@antonisapostolou5139]

If governments listened to fools like this general you'd be all dead.

[@RudolphoAqui]

So I’m hearing that the only reason Ukraine has not yet defeated ruSSia is due to the lack of resources

We have been given the opportunity to handicap our nemesis. We should take it.

[@kevola5739]

I agree but feel it is more of a untie the one hand behind Ukraine’s back which is a situation created by the west, not Russia.

i like the tireless support of Gen.Hodges, because i am a supporter of Ukraine. But Hodges burned himself by bein to otimistic about UA offensives, given the fact that he should know about much more support has been needed. but i am pretty sure if the west will support ukraine, russia will collaps latly in 2026/27 due to ecomical problems. This war leads to worldwide economical problems which are not in favour of china. With the change of governments in the US and germany, the momentum of the future is shifting in favour of ukraine - whoever wins the us elections.

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Hodges's "prediction" was conditional on sufficient arms being supplied. They weren't. Your prediction lacks credibility and care of presentation, including atrocious spelling which can be checked automatically.

[@RudolphoAqui]

Why does this man not have the ear of President Biden?

[@theglobalgambit]

Maybe joes asleep?

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Joe's handlers have all the answers. They wake him up and reward with ice cream to sign papers that confirm their amateur military concepts.

[@dalepiedlow5045]

They are going to run out of bandages first.

[@Mike-tb3ci]

Ben will you please share this news with Ritter and McGregor.

[@sabitrisugrim9050]

The truth ,, you sorry for them , drained

[@AmBotanischenGarten]

Why did you waste half of the podcast before letting the General speak?

[@lewisdoherty7621]

While the political dynamics are different, so far, Putin has lost eleven times the troops the US lost in Vietnam and Russia has a population of only two-thirds that of the US during that war.

[@samuelpenalosa3034]

Isn’t it also draining Ukrainian soldiers?

[@theglobalgambit]

Read the description. Yes of course it is. But that wasn’t the question.

[@weirdo1060]

Russia’s losses are worse. Their forces have less training, outdated equipment and poorer logistical support.

[@shuaibnaqvi5168]

As if eukrine priducing soldiers 24×7 in factories situted in uk and kiev

[@andreiprigorsky3123]

Ben Hodges said in 2022 of March that by April Russia will run out of troops and they are fighting with shovels

[@weirdo1060]

He did not. Russia is relying on weapons and mercenaries from outside countries (Iran, North Korea, etc.)

[@Richard-i3f4w]

Has Ben been asked what he thinks of Trump?

[@theglobalgambit]

@@Richard-i3f4w think it’s pretty clear no? Will do in Oct

[@Richard-i3f4w]

@@theglobalgambit Was wondering because I have never heard him comment on Trump and I do follow Ben. I mean it's a hawk against a dove!

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Ben is wise and has been increasingly critical of Biden's Blunders. Trump wants to relinquish responsibility. Harris, a pea brain, may or may not be properly advised.

[@Richard-i3f4w]

@@AstroGremlinAmerican Trump wants to relinquish responsibility! What the hell does that mean?

[@Deadlus-p3m]

@@AstroGremlinAmerican Trump wants to do what he did when he was President, which is to give Putin everything Putin wants because Putin has Trump in his pocket.

[@pluto-pw2yd]

Biden dish out,end of September is near...you're gone anyways?

[@linaniko1207]

Have you guys heard of commentators, like John Marshemer, Scott Ritter, Douglas Macgregor You should, listen to them, they will put this joker to shame,

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Please summarize. I don't need a reading assignment.

[@karsten11553]

True, they should have listened to Mersheimer back in the nineties when he adviced against Ukraine giving up their nuclear arsenal, because russia couldn't be trusted.

[@drecepy6213]

This war is draining Benny s 🧠... What a 🤡... Unbelievable

[@weirdo1060]

Your English and icons are good for a Russian bot.

[@soldierforgod1477]

Ben Hodges is out of touch with reality!! on judging Freedom the 2 X CIA guest on the show made a very clear case about Ben being out of touch with reality 😂

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Reality is a construction of one's feelings for some, the best prediction of how things work for those who gather concrete evidence. Spooky when both are allowed to vote.

[@linaniko1207]

and UIkraine war is not draining their soldiers???, good thing Ukraine doesn't have many left, so they dont get drained,

[@militaryandaviationchannel8907]

Nah this war is going to be like an afghan style war. Not really meaningful for either sides. But hey, for diehard ukrainian supporters, let me ask you a question. Do you think the united states would just sit and watch if mexico decided to ally with russia/china and says they will deploy russian IRBMs at mexico. Of course not. The united states would invade mexico without hesitation. So that's the same case with ukraine. Stop being hypocrites and try to understand other nations' POV, don't be stuck in your pathetic bubble lmao 😂😂😂

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

America is tolerating Mexican gangs as they grow bolder. Your point?

[@Deadlus-p3m]

Putin's excuse that there were NATO missiles in Ukraine before he invaded is nonsense and his usual propaganda. Putin is a madman, a war criminal and an aggressor. He must be stopped.

[@tomaszsojkowski3104]

Another expert ohh

[@antonisapostolou5139]

One of the biggest clowns on the net. Hasn't got one prediction right since the war started. Just a warmonger working for Military industrial complex. Now tell us a war you've actually won Napoleon.

[@AstroGremlinAmerican]

Insults are no replacement for logical arguments which you have not provided.

[@Deadlus-p3m]

Nobody wins wars, everybody loses. Putin invaded and Putin has been stopped.
