Putin’s oligarchs will determine his future, and they’re growing weary | General Ben Hodges

“I do think he’s concerned about popular opinion in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.”

General Ben Hodges says Putin is keeping the war away from major cities in an attempt to please the circle of oligarchs who keep him in power.

  4. As always an informative interview with Gen. Hodges. This "tell it like it is" information would have saved so many lives if heeded by the politicians:now, in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and Vietnam. How many friends do we have to lose? Semper Fi !

  5. The Oligarchs are wise to Pootun’s polonium party favors. He won’t be able to knock them off as easily as Prighozin and Navalny. There will be a Russian shakeup, but the west won’t see it coming, nor will Pootun. The man is toast. His biggest mistake is Ukraine.

  15. The narrative on this channel is breathtakingly inaccurate. There's lots of good information out there on what's really happening, but you won't find it here. I'd look somewhere else for the truth.

  21. I don't agree with Hodges. I believe he's delusional. He may a great student of military strategies, but none of them worked in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. Chaos, civil war and regional destabilization were the outcomes. General Milley is smarter and strongly suggested negotiations in late 2022 when Ukraine pushed Russia out of Kharkiv. Unfortunately, team Biden told him to shut up and retire

  25. Only about 2% of the entire human body is brains..

    Seems the whole planet is on a similar "by design" system.. unfortunate YES but the sad facts are most folks hate to think.. therefore the few who do, do it for em.

  30. IN THE SAVANAH ,it takes a whole clan of Hyenas to confront Lion . IN THE WEST —- it takes a host of 40 military powers in a club called NATO to confront one Russia !!!!—— THAT is Russia for you

  31. Putin is killing Russia and its good people! Everyone needs to join Ukraine and fight against Putin ! He is a monster who started the war and then says it’s someone else’s fault! He doesn’t care about the Russian people! He just wants to be king, and you know what happened to the last king of Russia?!

  32. Complete drivel, deflection from what's happening on the battlefields of Novorussia, Jewrusalem Times headline from summer 2023, " Russia runs out of ideas on how to stop Ukrainian counter offensive ", need I say more?

  35. Time to get rid of Putin and let’s get some level headed President to replace him. Let’s get it right and search for a reasonable agreement to end this unnecessary war.

  38. United States got the show Putin that day is not afraid of him that's why he keep threading with nuclear weapons because he want them to back down and he ain't backing down so why us back down we got nucleus too

  39. The best way to influence Indian and Chinese support for Russia is for Americans to stop buying products made in India and China. Let us start a massive campaign to Holt the purchase of products made in India and China. American purchasing power is the most powerful deterrent their is. Let’s put our money where our mouth is. Who’s with me?

  40. My grandpa was on its way to Ural in WWII when Russia finally defeated them. My Grandpa told me he and a lot of Generals thought that the Americans would continue fighting with the Germans against Russia. It wasn’t a strange dream. They really believed that. Also Göring etc. how many times do the USA thought the last decades: why didn’t we do this?
