This man is correct. Ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back for too long.
I said this as soon as I first heard the states ,state such a preposterous, idea could anyone imagine telling the United States what they should be doing in a war.I hear from people from the west well putlier will use his nuclear armament, unfortunately there's nothing I or anyone else can do to stop a mad man from using a nuclear device but it would only take 2 possibly 3 to finish rusdia off as it may have a massive land mass but its only Moscow, St Petersburg and Novosibirdk large industrial areas every where else is run down and poor with little to know main infrastructure or factors, so russia would be lost before it even started .,and after seeing the weaponry they have handed out to there military (mobilised) and some of the ammunitions that they have been given even the Russians have been afraid to use ,if they haven't kept there nuclear weapons up to scratch I would think that they would be very wary about sending them off as they dysfunction before take off or during take off
Good excuse 😅😅😅
America and Europe is woke. The US dismissed many soldiers for not taking the vaccine.
Absolutely true👍

As an American, let me be the first to say that our leadership's policies on Ukraine are a total embarrassment.
Fear and Appeasement . Got Adolph a long was @POTUS 😮

Biden isn't super good on the Ukrainian issue but he isn't the problem. The Republicans are single handedly holding back all the stuff they need and we can give them. We might not be giving them the ATACM's. We are giving them the small diameter glide bombs which also fire from HIRAMS and have similar capabilities. The major difference is that the ATACM's cost 500k and the glide bombs cost 40k.Biden isn't super good on the Ukrainian issue but he isn't the problem.

Thank you General Breadlove. This is the kind of leadership America needs.
Absolute...!
And the UK!
This bloke utters so much sense and truth, I'm ill with the reality of western political weakness and political stupidity. General Breedlove seems to not mince words, which causes truth to be painful to hear. Putin is a cockroach.
Even a cockroach isn't a psychopath---it has too much (insect)dignity to sink as low as Putin.
"General Breedlove seems to not mince words" Yes. We need more people at the top who do this. I think this is part of what the rednecks have wanted in Trump.
Thank you General for your clear and concise discussion! Especially thank you for putting the blame where it belongs. From a former Vet who served in Germany during the Berlin blockade.
Phillip Breedlove, spoken like a General! Very much admire your probity. If only our politicians here and across the pond would speak and act with such truthful and sensible convictions as you do. Len ((Devon 🇬🇧)
HE doesn't speak that much truth here. His "wacko, wacko left that doesn't want to spend anything outside of America" is BS. For instance, the far left for instance is keen to give aid to Gaza. They're 100% for it. Breedlove is correct, at least, that the wacko right is isolationist: Trump, in a fit of pique, after losing the election, actually ordered for ALL American troops the world around ALL come back to America, including all the forces in NATO countries, in Japan and South Korea, and so on. He wanted this in three weeks. He didn't realize that even pulling out of Afghanistan--his only campaign pledge that legitimately had over half the US supporting it--would take more than a year to fully plan. Instead he signed a capitulation document with the Taliban and promised to get out in just a year, and then did ZERO planning for actually doing it. When Biden came into office he had to unilaterally move the date back to cover Trump's lack of planning.
But Breedlove goes back to LYING to suggest it's the American left, the Democrats, who are responsible for the border situation. There is a bipartisan bill that's already passed the Senate vote and which Biden will sign. The vast majority of both parties in the House is ready to sign it, but Trump told Speaker Johnson not to call it to a vote, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told Johnson she'd get him fired from the Speakership if he called that vote. Minority Leader Jeffries in the House is trying to find about 10 Republicans to agree to a special motion to call it to a vote over the speaker's objections, but the Republicans are afraid of Trump getting attacking them in the coming elections, so Jeffries can't quite force the vote either. In short, Breedlove is LYING about who is causing the border chaos. It is TRUMP and GREENE and JOHNSON, not "the left."
How true
Call House leader (Republican Mike Johnson of Louisiana) to bring the Ukraine package to the floor for a vote! His reasons to hold funds from Ukraine are not valid! This is obstruction! Call his office in Washington and demand he helps Ukraine! Ukrainian blood is on his hands!

MGT doesn’t want the government to work.
If Johnson works with the democrats she might start the process to kick him out of speaker, if he doesn’t he won’t most likely will not have the republican votes to pass a bill. Ukrainian deaths will be blamed on him, and MGT gets attention. He has to decide if speaker of the house is more important that lives in Ukraine, and looking pro Putin in the war.
If I was Johnson it would be an easy decision.
Not just F-16s; tanks.
Between Abrams and Bradley, the US has 14,000 tanks and it's not using 90% of them, and frustratingly, this is the very war for which they were designed and built.
Literally every single piece of Cold War kit was designed for this very war, and the US definitely wouldn't miss 1500 Abrams and 1000 Bradleys.
So true, because a war with China will not utilize a lot of tanks.
No one takes seriously a "person" with your ridiculous monikers.

No?

@@timthetiny7538 please explaine your comment
As an American, I agree 100%. Supporting Ukraine fully is not only morally and militarily correct, but giving into bullies and despots always only encourages them. Furthermore, the best way for Biden to win against the despicable monster and traitor Trump is to let Ukraine have more success- our current policy not only by not standing up to Netanyahu but also by not fully supporting Ukraine makes Biden look weak and Trump as well as Putin as well as Netanyahu will exploit that one way or another.
Apply the same policy to the Gaza situation?
@lopezb Hear! Hear! (You mentioned being American so please permit the explanation from a Brit that that is what our Members of Parliament say during debates in the House of Commons to signal their approval of something said with which they emphatically agree😂❤)
I am 54 and so have lived through some momentous events including The Falklands War, the ousting of Maggie Thatcher, the Balkan Wars, the eruption of Mount Washington, the Chernobyl disaster, the Ethiopian Famine and Bob Dylan's Live Aid, Princess Diana, the Drought of 1976, the Great Storm of 1987, the 2004 tsunami, the 2011 tsunami and Fukushima, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the death of Queen Elizabeth and the crowning of a new King - and news of his cancer.
But NOTHING has affected me like Ukraine and, by the way, if you haven't yet seen President Zelenskyy address MPs and the Lords in Westminster Hall, I cannot recommend it to you enough - a general hubbub of conversation quietens upon the entry of the Speakers of both Houses in full 18thCentury Court drag - their lacy jabots and cuffs, frock coats, stockings and silver buckled shoes contrast with the sober President Ze in wall to wall olive green. Sir Leslie Hoyle summons quiet and makes a few opening remarks, recalling the president's previous visit and hands over to Zelenskyy. The courage and humility of that short, plainly dressed, seemingly unassuming man absolutely rifles through the rapt audience. Nothing less than that gigantic Medieval hall whose 11th Century walls stand to this day - with Richard II's magnificent hammerbeam roof a comparitively "modern" addition considering it's completion in 1397😂😂😂 The sheer portentousness is almost overpowering - I challenge you to get through it without finding you have "something or another in your eye"🥲 I'm getting goosepimples just recalling it to mind!
Not a day has gone by since 24th Feb 2022 that I haven't written something about or thought about the Ukrainians and that's compared to the fact there HAVE been days since the 8th September that I haven't thought of Her Late Majesty!
Anyway thank you for your moral support - as the general said, perhaps the most important thing is that our collective wish to see that hideous tyrant gone is translated to a clear statement to that effect by our leaders ..
@mrkiplingreallywasanexceed8311 I applaud your comment. As a Dane of your age I have experienced the same, the 2004 tsunami even at uncomfortably close range, and I feel exactly the same: There's not a single day since 24th Feb. 2024 that I haven't thought of, or rather been deeply concerned with Ukraine and the Ukrainians, and russia's unbelievably brutal and atrocious conduct. I have probably had Ukraine on my mind for 7-8,000 hours so far. And will not stop supporting Ukraine as best I can until all Ukraine, people and land, is liberated, free and secure - and far beyond that. Cheers.
@@stevenmcintyre8082 This is more difficult as Israel has more influence and control over the U.S government but Israel is lossing integrity and supporters especially younger news followers.
Highly biased Israeli American viewpoint here... do you not understand that Israel is fighting Iran and Russia through their proxies? Ukraine knows this, and Israel knows this, and even publicly stated on the UN floor that Israel will do whatever it can for Ukraine. Hamas is funded, trained, and armed through the combined efforts of Iran and Russia, as is Hezbollah. Bibi himself is a terrible leader, not the least for trying to court Russia for years to stop funding Iran, which no one in Israel believed would ever happen, but the entire war and the mass propaganda war against Israel by again Russia, Iran, and now China is to try to remove western influences and enable Iran to establish control on the MENA.
Look, just look into this for 5 seconds. Hate Israel desperately if you want, your choice, believe every single slur against them, but that war is the *other war with Russia*. Don't be naiive about that.
As an Australian I wouldn't have any faith in the USA on honouring anything they say. I think every country should be very cautious about relying on their " friends" for any support
Everyone realises this. This is why more nations like Australia will likely look into nuclear as a safeguard.
The Republican party has betrayed American bedrock principles. If they lose big in November, you'll see a resurgence of "normal".
With friends like the USA, who needs enemies.

I'm absolutely disgusted with America. It's behavior is sadistic and the country is showing itself to be absolutely spineless. They are aiding and abetting Putin to smash Ukraine. And telling Ukraine to stop hitting oil refineries is appalling!
They will be concerned that fuel prices will rise as a result - and US voters are very low information, and if "gas" prices are high come November, Biden will lose. And then the Republicans will bend over for Putin and acquiesce to anything he wants
I think the statement that the US does not encourage or support targeting Russian infrastructure is purely a political response specifically meant for Russia. Not encouraging is not the same as discouraging or criticising, and not supporting means not using US equipment. They did not say this must stop. The US doesn’t mind as long as the US doesn’t look like they are joining this war directly.
The US doesn’t want The Kremlin to have the PR benefit of being able to tell their people the US has joined this war, enabling more conscription.

Remember both the American right and left support Ukraine. Trump, however, has ordered the Speaker of the House Johnson not to call it to a vote. And Marjorie Taylor Greene told Johnson she'll call a vote to replace him if he tries.
that has been the best observation of the situation particularly with regard to long range missles that I have heardin months. The US complained that the Ukraines had not done as well as they expected yet it was the US that wouldn't let them fire into Russia, how crazy.

Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦
The Uk stands by you.🇬🇧
With what? The Telegraph said the UK couldn't last two months fighting Russia in Ukraine - that seems highly optimistic, but the UK should stop saying these hollow words - we can talk the talk, but that's all
It really is a crying shame the west seems so shamelessly playing politics when Ukraine is fighting for the very democratic principles that we enjoy; yet these very same people who argue about the capitulation of Ukraine, forget, or never realized, that their freedoms, their democracies, and their security, was fought for by others, because they did not give into tyrants. Never has the adage, forget history at your peril seem so apt.
It's not about Tyrant's. It's about NATO expansion on Russia's front porch. It's about biolabs in Ukraine. It's about promises made to the USSR to end communism. Ukraine was fine for 34 years. AND...Ukraine is a very corrupt country. It's not fantasyland.
Nonsense.
Who’s the tyrant though? Russia has elections and Ukraine does not.
Or, in The Woke West's case - _re-write your history to suit your narrative_
Well said.

Naw, if it was "fringe wackos" that were the problem, the aid from the US would flow. Instead the entire Republican party is blocking it, despite Biden's unheard of Draconian border offers in trade. Now, I'm perfectly happy to say they are all wackos, but when you have over half of Congress? That's not fringe.
Also let's not forget, if anything changes re: presidency next year, it's that the Russian Asset responsible for the Republicans being like this might be at the helm. "Things will be fiiiine, because The Center will reassert itself just from the election being over" is some mad cope and a failure of analysis.

I hope Speaker Johnson brings the Bill for a vote on the floor up and down shortly after Easter, because Ukraine needs the weapons and munitions before I return to Ukraine in June.
This is my absolute favorite series of interviews about the war. I always end these videos with the feeling that I am more informed and that I used my time wisely watching this.
Great Breedlove! 🙏
Thsnk you Katie for having Gen Breedlove on your podcast brilliant assessment of the situation in both ukrain and the states 👍
I Hear your Disappointed Voice. Add Angry and Sad to Mine. It’s Insane what is Happening! Glory to Ukraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💙💙💙
This man is a star. Thank you frontline.
The US usually supports its allies for a while but then starts to think about how the dollar might be affected by sustained commitments. The US is very worried that attacks on Russian oil refineries are driving up the world price of oil and that this might lead to a return of inflation to the US economy. However, the withdrawal of support for Ukraine from the US means that Ukraine will loosen ties with the US, listen to the US pleas for restraint much less, increase ties with the EU, and will be less constrained in degrading Russia's capacity to earn income. The US is being driven into making hard choices and to date its strategy has been too ineffectual.
You're a subpar troll. I'm disappointed. It's not even hard and you failed.
The US was and is a top 10 oil and gas producer of the World, they could ramp up produciton themwselves yet there anti oil policies refuse to do it....
Thanks Gene. Always great to be in The Conversation with you 👌
He is 100 percent right!
General Breedlove comprehesive views are refreshing to hear.
Thank you for your time General ! Much appreciated !
Madam, you are the best !
Well said General Breedlove
Those F-16's can't come soon enough. Promises to be interesting. I'm betting on Ukraine.
Exactly right, Gen. Breedlove! What a wonderful name, one might add.
General Breedlove is spot on with his assessments!👍🏻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇬🇧
Breedlove, Hodges, Zwack & Wesley Clark should do a show each week to hash out everything regarding the war in Ukraine.
America's betrayal of our Ukranian allies is sickening
I concur for the record.
Kate..ur my favourite on here..love ur shows
I always find Gene Hackmans views on Russia and the invasion of Ukraine really interesting. He's spot on about 'rewarding bad behaviour'. 2014 and the invasion of Crimea should have been the line in the sand so to speak
We all know he looks like gene nothing new here move on😢
@@bm3738 It's the first time I've seen the guy! Don't be so judgemental and jog on pal.
A relatively sane American but the sane lesson is that the yanks are too high maintenance to be reliable now.
Times Radio Frontline is top-tear journalism. This is how it’s done. Thanks and regards. Poulsbo,Washington
Excellent interview. The need for that clear policy objective, of the West, has never been more urgent !
General Breedlove frames the question perfectly.
" .... To do what ? "
To clear Russia from Ukrainian land and re-establish Ukrainian sovereignty.
🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini .
Thanks for the interview. It was very informative. I enjoyed hearing Gen Breedloves opinions.
I wish we had a presidential candidate with the experience, knowledge and the ability to articulate the geopolitical issues presently confronting America as well as General Breedlove. He is exactly the type of leader we need as President of the USA.
Absolutely.
I wouldn't trust this clown in a position of power. His "wacko, wacko left that doesn't want to spend anything outside of America" is BS. For instance, the far left is keen to give aid to Gaza. They're 100% for it. Breedlove is correct, at least, that the wacko right is isolationist: Trump, in a fit of pique, after losing the election, actually ordered for ALL American troops the world around ALL come back to America, including all the forces in NATO countries, in Japan and South Korea, and so on. He wanted this in three weeks. He didn't realize that even pulling out of Afghanistan--his only campaign pledge that legitimately had over half the US supporting it--would take more than a year to fully plan. Instead he signed a capitulation document with the Taliban and promised to get out in just a year, and then did ZERO planning for actually doing it. When Biden came into office he had to unilaterally move the date back to cover Trump's lack of planning.
But Breedlove goes back to LYING to suggest it's the American left, the Democrats, who are responsible for the border situation. There is a bipartisan bill that's already passed the Senate vote and which Biden will sign. The vast majority of both parties in the House is ready to sign it, but Trump told Speaker Johnson not to call it to a vote, and Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told Johnson she'd get him fired from the Speakership if he called that vote. Minority Leader Jeffries in the House is trying to find about 10 Republicans to agree to a special motion to call it to a vote over the speaker's objections, but the Republicans are afraid of Trump getting attacking them in the coming elections, so Jeffries can't quite force the vote either. In short, Breedlove is LYING about who is causing the border chaos. It is TRUMP and GREENE and JOHNSON, not "the left."
This is the best interview I have listened to re the war in Ukraine! This gentleman knows what he is talking about. I am just a retired teacher of young children and have no military knowledge but I do recognise wisdom, expertise, experience and commonsense when I hear it! This was a great choice of interviewee and you are a very good interviewer and presenter. How very refreshing this video has been to listen to. Thank you and may God bless you both. ❤❤ Vera in Northern Ireland
You know that in the UK. Lots of people are wondering/ thinking what's going to happen if Trump is Re- Elected as President???
Many Canadians are also wondering what would happen if Trump is elected as when he was president he didn't treat Canada as an ally.
Ukraine is very desperate for help but still holds on with the limited they have because they are brave. Love Ukraine.
Breed Love - A Warrior - I love it !
Politicians need to remember their role. They are civilian servents. Not military. Leave military issues to military personnel/command. Even Carl Von Clausewitz mentions this in his book "On War."
Well said
It’s so demoralizing watching the US and the Western Allies ‘pussyfooting’ around in their support of Ukraine. Two things to remember: Point 1: The Art of War - Sun Tzu - Waging War: 6) There is no instant move of a country having benefited from prolonged conflict. 19) In war, then, let your great objective be victory, not lengthy campaigns.
Point 2: “The Soviet understands only one language; action, respects only one word; force” - Dean Acheson
The political system in UK is rotten 😂😂😂😂
The USA is in such a mess Europe needs to step up now and help Ukraine. First thing is to use the frozen Russian money and equip Ukraine to win.
Spot on! It’s only a shame that men like General Breedlove & Commander Hodges are not on US Radio & TV speaking to the audience that needs to hear them :/
Aaaah Kate. Well handled at the start 😂
Putin is planning to bestow Russia's highest medal, Hero of Russia, on the person most responsible for the recent successful air campaign. ... that would be Mike Johnson.

Truth
This show is one of the best I've seen on CZcams so far.
Straight talk and good sense, Gen. Breedlove. Thanks for trying to wake up the West!
Thank you for covering this
If the US sends it old weapons to Ukraine and replaces its stock with new, it avoids having to dismantle old stock,it provide employment for US employees, it helps the keep Ukraine stay alive.
US gains. Ukraine gains.
Repeat Quote.
Repeat Intro.
Great work Times Radio…
Great work Times Radio…
Great work Times Radio…
Great work Times Radio…
Great work Times Radio…
Ad nauseam!
A clear, concise and emotive analysis - clearly Ukraine needs our comprehensive and sustained support!
The smartest thing the Russian Air Force did in the first two years of Putin's war was to fail to show up.
America really know how to lose a war.
This is the definitive interview from the best interviewee of the war. The politicians should take note and the interviewers should take note.General Breedlove says more important things in 30 minutes than any of our politicians say in a lifetime.
Thanks Time Radio

What a knowledgeable and sensible man .

They just shot down one of their own aircraft minutes ago
Kate is a very accomplished interviewer/journalist. Excellent work, madam!
I wish our politicians were as smart as Gen. Breedlove.
Totally agree with the general. One bit that worried me (and himself too!). When he asked whether America would support Ukraine after the elections (and in case Trump wins I presume), he hesitated and didn't say what he thinks is true, but what he hopes is true.
I am afraid of that part (as probably pro-Ukrainians, Ukrainians and pro-western way of live),
and to see him saying it like that makes me more anxious now. (Not his fault of course! He is in the same boat as we are)
You might want to edit out the first 1 minute 9 seconds.
No way. I like the blooper reel.
Why? It makes this woman's presentation more human. Leave it be.
Spectacular, i think if we had him & Hodges in current leadership, we would be doing so much better as western civilization. I’ve supported America First policies, I think borders & citizenship must be much more protected, and I think we need foreign entanglements to be much more restrained… with focus on improved cooperation with legit allies, and the defense of Ukraine, the punishment of Russian aggression against a legit democracy, against Europe & the “West”, is crucial & profoundly consequential!
General Breedlove telling it like it is. Slava Ukraini!
