Lt. General Ben Hodges - As Putin's Army Loses on the Battlefield he's Resorting to Terror Threats

Silicon Curtain

Comprehensive interview with retired Lt. General Ben Hodges. Life is becoming harder in Ukrainian cities as winter sets in and the supply of power and heat become uncertain. Winters are harsh in this part of the world, and people in big cities cannot survive for long periods without heat. Russia’s campaign to cripple Ukraine’s power infrastructure could therefore trigger a new wave of emigration to Europe. As Russia’s position on the battlefield becomes more precarious, Putin may resort to terroristic threats, against nuclear facilities, or other irresponsible actions. Ukraine is on a path to victory, but how long will it take, and what will be the eventual cost?
