Being an ex-US general immediately disqualifies him from any serious military analysis.
Was Ben Hodges retired on mental health grounds ?
Why would he choose to live out his retirement on the grounds of a mental health facility? What a weirdo…
He might be getting his information from the inmates.
That explains his popularity.
Janet Yellen’s speech on China was delivered at The Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University, ranked as ‘one of the top’ graduate schools for international relations in the world. This institution serves as a vehicle for promoting policies which promote US global power and corporate profits. Prior to becoming Treasury Secretary, Yellen served as Chair of US Federal Reserve System (FED) from 2014- 2018. Thus, Janet Yellen serves as a spokesperson for the ruling/financial elite.

Of course producing large… Read more »
The only way to prevent such a possibility happening is if Russia takes Kiev before Poland walks in there, and fairly soon, within say six months or so, assuming air-superiority is gained by US/UK.
The talk of counter-offensive is to gain time only; its dust in our eyes. What do the Russians make of it? It would be interesting to know – and we wont, not for a considerable time.
