Many will agree with the following comment very strongly :

Lt. General Ben Hodges for president. Thank you.

Ukrainian Warriors and President Zelensky, you amaze the World with your Courage, Strength and Determination… All it takes for Evil to win is for Good to do nothing. We can achieve anything when we all work together… God Bless Ukraine from the UK

This kind of information is why YouTube has been locked in Russia, except for government trolls.

A video with Ben Hodges is per definition a hit. Add James and you have a stellar concept! I admire Ben for his patience in carefully bridging the gap between ill informed, perhaps emotional politicians and the actual truth as he sees it. I sincerely doubt that he has always displayed this balanced caution and patience when he was younger and still in his military job. But I might be wrong Either way, I totally respect the display of commitment and experience!!

Slava Ukraini! Ben Hodges always is a win. But: What is also of interest, is, that Oblasts Kursk and Belgorod are the agrocultural hubs of Russia. And in Kursk alone, 50% of the steel in Russia is processed. I wonder, why nobody mentioned this, so far. It could be also one of the reasons, why Ukraine went in there.

Thank you for your honest analysis that the West has not helped Ukraine to win. The West has given Ukraine just enough to stay in the fight…enough to prolong the fight. Many of us were asking this question two years ago, and it is still relevant today: how many more Ukrainians, military and civilian, have to die and/or be displaced and/or endure crippling hardship before we help them to win this war? It seems the only people helped by prolonged conflicts are the ones involved in the manufacture or trafficking of weapons and ammunition.

How come Scott Ritter has a completely different take on this incursion by the Ukrainians and paints a picture of doom and gloom for the Ukrainians?? Scott Ritter is a well informed individual and his comments must be taken as a credible source of information.
