    "...rediscover their spine." Great quote, General. Thank you for your years of service and your spine to say so.

    Ben Hodges is awesome. You will rarely find a public figure as honest and genuine as this man.

    As a natural born US citizen and a registered voter since 1972, I understand how political our government is. My grandfather (mothers dad) survived World War I. My father survived World War II. Both would NOT be happy with how the current US political situation is, and both understand why NATO was created after World War II. Very will spoken Ben Hodges.
  • It is so hard to get your head round the fact these Senators have decided to go on holiday, at the 11th hour, and good on you, Ben , for sending a not so thinly veiled threat to these senators.
  • @hofmanish
    Thank you Ben Hodges for your words. Totally agree with you
  • @hillerm
    As an American I find the lack of action on Ukraine to be humiliating.
  • @philipkudrna5643
    „Let‘s hope that some Republicans rediscover their spine…“ Great analysis (as always) by Ben Hodges. The US foreign politics need more characters like him!

    There are so many commentators but Ben Hodges is at his level. He is top even among generals.
  • @123slither
    Ben Hodges always speaking total sense for the security of Europe, America and Ukraine. We are stronger standing together
  • @Akenfelds1
    I've got a lot of time for Lieutenant General Ben Hodges. He is the voice of intelligence, sense, reason, and caution.

    I can't imagine a braver person who willingly walks into the lion's den, knowing what awaited him. Navalny has become a true martyr. 😢
  • @skunkjulio
    "Thank you for the privilege." Ben Hodges, class act.
  • @Serbian1985
    The same general who said “ Ukraine will capture Crimea by end of 2022” He also said Ukraine will have a successful counteroffensive and Russian forces will collapse “

    Ben Hodges, as competent and clearly spoken as always. Greetings from Europe!
