These relatively tiny countries were all a threat to the largest country in the world, with one of the largest militaries in the world, and currently the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world?

@@kiwimontoya Of course the US wouldn't like it, the same way the US doesn't like Russian bombers flying near it's airspace. But just like the US can't tell the Russian military it can't fly in international airspace, Russia has no right to dictate another sovereign country's military defense arrangements. Maybe, instead of Russia trying force Russia's self interest onto it's neighbors, it should try to form alliances, good relations and trust to get what it wants? NATO never forced any country to join it, and there are reasons for more and more countries voluntarily choosing to do so over the years.
Remember kids, you can make a fortune planning on the military industrial complex greed. Invest in Halliburton and Raytheon. Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money.
The military industrial complex also gave us computers, GPS, major other technology advances, and peace on our shores. Have there been some abuses, yes. But the USA has been safe and got cheap goods as a direct result of our military. It’s the over spending that’s killing us, not the defense of the nation.
That’s why we need to keep supporting Ukraine…. To not support them means we will pay a much larger more expensive price down the track… it’s a no brainer
This is the guy who told us Russia was running out of ammo and manpower, back on March 15, 2022. We studied Russia's military as no other, decade after decade, and we still underestimated her by $160B and still counting.

You're confusing Subject Matter Expertise with Motivation. A good General cares about his people so has low motivation to go to war. Going on exercise is sufficient to train and demonstrate capabilities. However it is clear that kaputins ruzzian empire delusion is not satisfied by his invasions of Georgia, Azerbaijan or Romania so he has to be defeated in Ukraine to stop that delusion impacting more countries. Since Gen Ben has studied the problem in depth he has valuable insight to share. So far this war has been superb value for taxpayers as 5% of historical annual Defence spending has destroyed 50% RF combat effectiveness for no US blood. Those weapons would have cost more to safely dispose of so better to use them as they were designed for. Their planned replacement was already in US defense budget as innovation means nothing stays effective. While the Pentagon likes big numbers to show their commitment nobody values old weapons at the cost to buy new. In summary the cost has been tiny for the result achieved.

Asking an ex-US military leader and now advisor to the US’s Military arm in Europe, NATO if we need to have a war, there was only going to ever be one answer
Yes and no. Russia will use the power and influence it gains from taking over Ukrainian territory to get a bigger supply of the worlds nickel and cobalt deposits in eastern Ukraine. This would give them a ridiculous advantage over World Trade negotiations. We're spending billions right now to save us trillions later if we let Russia succeed
Sometimes people who support war understand that things are just at their extremes. Everyone is more loving because theres alot of losses. There's a lot of money coming in because there's money going out. The issue is this war hasn't done that because it's not right

How naive.... Nobody's a real threat to the US (as a country) (excluding Nuke threats) but it surely IS a threat to the US global interests. It is the US that feels necessary to have and maintain its global influence on all aspects, isn't it? So in that light yes, Russia and China are a threat to the US (policy). Maybe it's time for the US (govt) to sing a lower tune globally since it seems that its people don't see their present global policy as that important anymore. Maybe they think the US can be great (again?) without getting too much involved with global affairs. Maybe it'd be worth trying the North Korean way i.e. self isolation (build the wall!), no real involvement with the global affairs politically, military, economically etc but just be busy with themselves domestically. That'd be interesting to watch.

@@cheesy1nacho924 It's true that Russia has nuclear weapons, but many of the former Soviet states have already joined NATO and more are seeking membership now. That effectively rules out any threat from a land war being waged by Russia. If Russia were to ever use the nuclear option, their destruction would immediately follow regardless of any attack damage they may have caused to other Nations. Even the nuclear option is questionable as nuclear weapons particularly fission triggered fusion weapons have a gelatin inside that breaks down over time. After a certain time period these weapons must be decommissioned, broken down and the nuclear core can be used in the construction of a new device with fresh gelatin. Most Soviet era nuclear weapons are likely past the decommission dates.
With respect, General, had we honored our commitment to move "not one inch" eastward, and had we treated Russia like a partner rather than a pariah, had we given Russia the same consideration we gave the AXIS powers at the end of WWII, then the security and energy concerns of Europe would have been secured, China would have been contained and we would know peace.

Are you familiar with Russia's not-so distant history of aggressions against Finland, Poland, Afganistan, Georgia, Ukraine...? These relatively tiny countries were all a threat to the largest country in the world, with one of the largest militaries in the world, and currently the largest arsenal of nuclear weapons in the world?

@@georgekolton9059 how would the US like Russian or Chinese military bases in Mexico or Canada?
@@kiwimontoya Of course the US wouldn't like it, the same way the US doesn't like Russian bombers flying near it's airspace. But just like the US can't tell the Russian military it can't fly in international airspace, Russia has no right to dictate another sovereign country's military defense arrangements.
Maybe, instead of Russia trying force Russia's self interest onto it's neighbors, it should try to form alliances, good relations and trust to get what it wants?
NATO never forced any country to join it, and there are reasons for more and more countries voluntarily choosing to do so over the years.

You're confusing Subject Matter Expertise with Motivation.
A good General cares about his people so has low motivation to go to war. Going on exercise is sufficient to train and demonstrate capabilities.
However it is clear that kaputins ruzzian empire delusion is not satisfied by his invasions of Georgia, Azerbaijan or Romania so he has to be defeated in Ukraine to stop that delusion impacting more countries.
Since Gen Ben has studied the problem in depth he has valuable insight to share.
So far this war has been superb value for taxpayers as 5% of historical annual Defence spending has destroyed 50% RF combat effectiveness for no US blood. Those weapons would have cost more to safely dispose of so better to use them as they were designed for.
Their planned replacement was already in US defense budget as innovation means nothing stays effective.
While the Pentagon likes big numbers to show their commitment nobody values old weapons at the cost to buy new.
In summary the cost has been tiny for the result achieved.
Doesn't mean it's wrong. Even Russia got a covid vaccine out.
Well… a complete false equivalency and straw man but nice try there slick.

Ehhhh. Less of a threat in amount of power, but i wouldn’t just write them off as no threat. Russia is a very morally grey government that still has lots of powerful weapons and fanatic leaders.
How naive.... Nobody's a real threat to the US (as a country) (excluding Nuke threats) but it surely IS a threat to the US global interests. It is the US that feels necessary to have and maintain its global influence on all aspects, isn't it? So in that light yes, Russia and China are a threat to the US (policy).
Maybe it's time for the US (govt) to sing a lower tune globally since it seems that its people don't see their present global policy as that important anymore.
Maybe they think the US can be great (again?) without getting too much involved with global affairs. Maybe it'd be worth trying the North Korean way i.e. self isolation (build the wall!), no real involvement with the global affairs politically, military, economically etc but just be busy with themselves domestically.
That'd be interesting to watch.

@@cheesy1nacho924 It's true that Russia has nuclear weapons, but many of the former Soviet states have already joined NATO and more are seeking membership now. That effectively rules out any threat from a land war being waged by Russia. If Russia were to ever use the nuclear option, their destruction would immediately follow regardless of any attack damage they may have caused to other Nations. Even the nuclear option is questionable as nuclear weapons particularly fission triggered fusion weapons have a gelatin inside that breaks down over time. After a certain time period these weapons must be decommissioned, broken down and the nuclear core can be used in the construction of a new device with fresh gelatin. Most Soviet era nuclear weapons are likely past the decommission dates.
I cant seem the speech where Putin said he wants to conquer Europe in a Hitler-ish fashion. I bet the LYING warmonger General cant find it either
With respect, General, had we honored our commitment to move "not one inch" eastward, and had we treated Russia like a partner rather than a pariah, had we given Russia the same consideration we gave the AXIS powers at the end of WWII, then the security and energy concerns of Europe would have been secured, China would have been contained and we would know peace.
If you believe that, you probably still believe that Sadam had weapons of mass destruction and the Iraq war was justified as well. 🙄
