"Hard power is a reality" - Christopher G. Cavoli, Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR)

13:58 Translation: This is very different from waging war on defenseless people that we are used to.

A real gentleman. Quality man.

[@ronaldmarcks1842]

Hey, this dude speaks Russian, French, Italian and English. He's also a Ranger. Just wow.

[@hossra2013]

More than that, he’s a truly humble servant leader, father, husband, brother and friend.

[@aachoocrony5754]

So he's like the average European.

It's called education 😂

Thanks to Folk och Forsvar for inviting caceur G Cavoli Top-top militar!

[@patviermsn6538]

It seems reassuring that we have a general like gen. Cavoli. For a while I was doubting our defense because of Gen.Miley and Blinken. I wish all of our generals are like him to instil confidence

[@zaniwoob]

Yeah being useless in a full industrial scale land and sea war with the chino-russian bloc the us wont be able to protect us. Im sure this general can do excellent things in South America 😜

That's my read. They aren't getting it.

thank you General that you do not speak with English accent - this is so comforting

So nato are currently not prepared for war with Russia is what i get from that, let alone taking china as well. Thats not same as saying they cant be, it just saying right now they need to practically start an arms race.

37 Ukraine Front brigades in Action. Usa have 3 in Europe, the only with well Equipment and trained. All other are on Paper! Russia has lost 2000 Tanks?! Ukraine 8000?! And now the only thing we conclude is, to prepare for war against Russia, having lost all our depots in Ukraine, having no functional armies, having no functional factories, having no people want to fight and die. Very clever

[@kingfish99]

Gotta come up with a term other than "Eastern Front", that is such a cursed term.

[@cynicalPixels]

TBH, it just highlights the dated thinking

[@catherine4433]

It appears there is someone on Twitter that has an account set up in the name of Christopher Cavoli and using his picture for the account.

Hahahahahaha lol, this is *so revealing*

[@infocrypt]

Cavolli’s obsession with Ukrainian isn’t a healthy one, reminds of Vietnam war. There is nothing for US strategic about Ukraine, NOTHING !

[@chris5483]

I honestly cannot understand NATO ground forces as being relevant to anything in this time in history. The reason why is that NATO Members and Russia (NATO’s Rival) both have nuclear weapons. So any ground war between the two would result in a likely existential threat which then leads to nuclear war. I feel like those not in NATO are the only ones with potential security threats, so it would make sense for them to link up with US’ NATO or Russia. Being neutral or not aligned and or without nuclear weapons seems to leave those states predisposed to security threats. In the case of Ukraine, I cannot understand the US and NATO position in defending them because the US foolishly persuaded Ukraine to give up the third largest nuclear arsenal in the world at the time back in the 90s while Ukraine and Russia and US/NATO failed to secure Ukraine in the deal. Even if Russia had control of the weapons, they could have perhaps deterred this conflict or been used to negotiate a far better deal. US foreign policy has really been a large part of what has led to this crisis. Russia is to blame as well. Interesting presentation from the General. I look forward to learning more from him as I try to understand this all better.

There is no need to fear. Both Putin and shoigu are gravely ill not to mention they're out of ammo. Also ukes have won many battles and gained ground as reported by media.

[@ddoumeche]

@kayako128 it will take years for Russia to refill its stocks and rebuild its tank fleet, not in couple years. But they will do it faster than us

[@David-zo7bg]

​@kayako They use old tanks now. Don't lie!)

[@pero33403]

So what you are saying Mr. General, is that your NATO "army" is a hollow force, a paper tiger. Well, congrats!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@marcv2648]

That's exactly what he said. I wonder if the audience truly understands?

Only paper tiger is Russia with there 3 day war) Russian army is embarrassing)
