Hodges: Ukraine will definitely win Russia, but in 30 years

Former Commander of US Land Forces in Europe, Lieutenant General Ben Hodges gave Ukraine advice on how to succeed in confronting Russia. According to Hodges, in order for Ukraine to resist Russia, decades must pass, writes the Ukrainian edition Apostrof.

Hodges: Ukraine will definitely win Russia, but in 30 years




As Hodges stated, at present Ukraine is in such conditions when diplomatic efforts do not produce results and a military solution to the problem is impossible. It’s necessary to resist Russia, but who said it would be quick and easy, he noted. Ukraine needs to follow the path of the United States and allies, who have been waiting for 40 for the years of “liberating Germany when it is united,” and countries like Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were able to secede from the USSR, and the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist. Ukraine needs patience for decades to defeat Russia.

At the moment, according to Hodges, Ukraine needs to focus on the "sustainability" of its own population, develop trust in government institutions and achieve transparency in government spending, otherwise Russia through Ukrainian corruption will affect the country's economy.

Earlier, Hodges called on NATO to speak with Russia from a position of strength.

      The United States, as I understand it, is preparing Bandera and other Balts to clean up Russia .. They themselves do not want to dirty their hands especially .. It’s quite possible this option is ala 90s, tear Russia into small parts and then while the massacre is going on, they will rob chuckling. .Oh, God forbid! After all, now there is an increased swinging of Russia from the inside ..
      I sense genetically that we are being promoted to a rebellion "senseless and merciless" .. Strong Russia is a danger to the world's usurers hi

        It’s not directly Hodges, but Hodja Nasreddin, who in one of his tales told something similar: in 30 years, either the Sultan will die, or Ishak will die, or the words will be forgotten, in general there will be no one to ask for the promised.

              One must understand the Americans

              This is a completely unprincipled nation, no morality, the main thing is the goal

              They destroyed the Indians, took the lands from their neighbors, crushed the countries on the continent, climbed into the Old World, began to crush everyone there and build for themselves

              Test the atomic bomb - no problem, where are the Japs,

              to scare the Arabs in the BV, so that oil should be sold to anyone at the "right" price - Iraq to the nail.

              They will do everything - to educate nonhumans in neighboring countries, to breed muck near the borders, etc.

              Russia must be very strong economically, so that they reach out to us, so that it’s impossible to tear off our neighbors, and the Americans themselves are afraid to snuggle up to us


              For these people, there is no other reason to stop except the fear of getting back.

              I hope that more people in our country will not be mistaken with the choice of "partners"

        What to cook. Here, their shots will be distributed in pieces to Russia. Shevarnadze gave the US a piece of the shelf, then President Medvedev repeated the feat of giving Norway a piece of the Barents Sea with the tacit consent of Putin. Sakhalin is next in turn ... and there you look and they will find unresolved territorial issues. They give the stolen time for the nail, but here the territories are distributed to the right and left, and nothing but the orders of honor and the rank of state official of all times and nations.

    who waited 40 years for "the liberation of Germany, when it is united", and countries like Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were able to secede from the USSR

    They didn’t wait, but quit from nightmares, jumped from the windows with one thought from the USSR Armed Forces. And when the hunchbacked passed everything for a long time, they could not believe in their happiness. In other words, the ruin, except for a gift of fate, has nothing to rely on.

          How do you know? Considering that in the NATO bloc they are all tied to collective security, the United States, as the basis of the bloc, cannot stand a priori and, according to the charter, must take part in hostilities against Russia. I believe that in the event of an attack by the countries you have indicated, our side will not wait for the gradual involvement of all 28 countries in the bloc into the war, and according to its doctrine, it will ship all the "sisters with earrings" and, first of all, the "eldest", so sit out with impunity they will not succeed in a puddle.

    They have already violated almost all the red lines, only the NATO bases with missile defense facilities in Ukraine and in Armenia are left.
    The Russian authorities have declared that in the case of the deployment of US missile defense bases in Armenia and Ukraine, they will build a defense line in the Sochi and Kuban regions, in fact, confirmed that Russia has no red lines.

    Ukraine is secondary, but our main enemy is the same, even after the collapse of the USSR .. Very insidious and cunning! soldier

    It is not yet known what Ukraine itself will turn into in 30 years. Maybe by then its population would decrease by another 5-10 million people and basically only old people would remain who simply had nowhere to run to.

    After all, now there is an increased swinging of Russia from the inside ..


    and who is swinging? Is it really the Russian government itself, whether with new taxes and the actual abolition of pensions for the majority of the country's population (even 60% of men in our country do not live up to 40 years of age, but here they raised to 65)? rising prices for fuel and utilities, and this is in the country richest in natural resources?

    who have been waiting 40 years for "the liberation of Germany, when it will be united"

    I absolutely agree with the general! Sooner or later, the Outskirts will be free and unite with Russia.

    After 30 years, either the padishah will die, or the donkey will die. Such "expert" opinions amuse. lol

    This reminds of an old anecdote about Khoja Nasreddin who taught the shah's dog to speak - "Either the dog dies, or the shah dies ...". By that time, Ukraine will be safely divided into its constituent parts, and those of them that the good communists annexed to Ukraine will go to their original masters - Novorossia to Russia, East Kresy to Poland, Transcarpathia to Hungary and Slovakia, the rest to Romania ... well, the rest let it stay behind the non-customs and continue to ride towards the happy European past ...

    Usually the stronger and larger states absorb the smaller and weaker ones, as has always been the case in the history of mankind, and here Ukraine ..... will defeat Russia .... Well, in this case, it can be said that after 30-40 Venezuela will defeat the USA.

    "Hodges: Ukraine will definitely beat Russia"
    - Yankees, keep in mind: Ukraine is more profitable and safer to defeat America. And when Ukraine attacks Russia, both Urkaina and, under a hot hand, America will die immediately. Does America need this? ..

    Well, they continue to fight with us, all this time, the winners are bad?
    Their empire of good, which began with the total extermination of about one hundred million indigenous people, will soon find its place in the dustbin of history (of course, not in 30 years), and these warriors are all swaggering with victories (which, by and large, are not). With their ideology of the creation and use of weapons, as well as the conduct of hostilities, they have no other way than to provide a budget an order of magnitude larger than ours in order to somehow compare combat effectiveness. So, General, after 30 years, you will salivate and smash Russia with tin soldiers from a cardboard box (in the best scenario for your country talkers).
