How does Russia, Iran and North Korea outproduce EU.
When EU economy is like 10 times bigger then theirs.
Because EU does not produce weapons(as in war economy). EU is not involved 100% in this war. NATO is not boots on the ground in this war. Putin lies to his men about Russia fighting NATO when in fact Russia is fighting mainly against donated old soviet dusty weapons.
Because we have always bought american stuff and now that they stab us in the back, we need to build our military industry asap
Before the war, when’s the last time you noticed a European head of state posing for photos with military-grade weapons, or giving speeches about weapons capabilities? Russia, Iran, N. Korea, etc. heads of state and public officials get off on that stuff. Huge portions of their budgets are spent on weapons manufacturing, and they’re always participating in weapons testing and military exercises. While we think of our education, career, vacations, personal goals, business and innovation, etc., they think about different ways to kill people, and build weapons to do it.
Autocratic regimes can do whatever they want with their industries and labor force. If they want to let their whatever factories produce weapons, they do it. In democratic countries it’s not that easy. Government can’t easily control what the industry is doing. Which is for sure a good thing in „normal“ times. If a democracy is actively in a state of war, like Israel, things look different.
Cause weapons industry in the west just look for profit and don't really care about national security
If your army has 20% the soldiers, time is not on your side
War is idiotic. Sending terrified men to kill other terrified men in order to take a few miles of destroyed territory, with Putin not caring at all how many of his own people he kills. Hoke and glory.
Artillery is spelled wrong.
Amazing interview thats reality
wash that microphone.
🤣
They need the Avengers and Superman.
They need just a bit realism...
Wesley Clark knows his stuff.
He used to be NATO's supreme Commander and US Presidential candidate.
Real reporter would ask him "how is Russian aggression different from 99 bombing of Yugoslavia/Serbia"
Then you'd get to know what "stuff" he knows.
Or, more likely; stuff he'll never tell.
What a blastingly clear interview - Clark delivered brilliantly
This is a great ecample of why DW is the best news agency!
Lost count how many times he said "need".
35 years ago, NATO was building a defense line 2000 km from Moscow. Now NATO is building a defense line 500 km from Moscow. At the same time, Moscow is called the aggressor. I believe NATO is planning its next line of defense 10 km from Moscow. Some strange defensive alliance.
Make sense please?
All of these countries CHOSE to join NATO. And these countries closest to Russia (the Baltics, Finland, Poland) are the staunchest supporters of Ukraine and understand the Russian threat. Why do you think Finland and Sweden joined NATO after Russia invaded?
Russia only proved NATOs importance by invading Ukraine
@Curt_Johnston
Russia also offered to join NATO. However, Russia received a negative answer. Obviously NATO is pursuing the goal of destroying and plundering Russia. Ukraine is just one of the instruments of NATO’s war with Russia. The attack by Ukraine on the Donetsk and Lugansk Republics in 2014 only confirms all my statements.
I wonder how future history books will look back upon years of cowardly impotence in face of existential danger. I don’t think they will tell how virtuously we waited to die or be enslaved just to tell ourselves how great we are for disavowing violence in all form.
I like your message. These message boards are almost all pro-Putin, Ukraine-can't-win after the death of Navalny. Why is no one else daring to write on them?
The same way we look at the appeasement period before WWII and the whole "phoney war" period.
Forgetting it was a combination of popular will, understandable (though ultimately very costly) disgust for war and the simple necessity to buy time for the military production to catch up.
The history books will describe it as it is. Smart America uses cheap aborigines to achieve its goals of world domination.
And that's why hamas decided to stop being cowards and face existential danger
We are enslaved by PRIVATE military industrial complex & banks. NOT the RU ones!
Other dangers you forgot: neutral gender, IA, GMO food, digital money, ALL of them produced by our own west governments/Elite, not RU one. Please, dont tell me , taht I am a RU, becasue I live in FFM-DE.
He literally just explained money laundering...
Just what Gen. Zaluzhny had asked before he got replaced 😂😂😂😂
Ukraine just needs Russia to get out and let everyone rebuild their lives and communities.
😂😂😂
Ukraine is Russia
Russia is Ukraine. Fixed that for you. Free of charge. Enjoy.@@user-FUCKYOU18
Before saying the word 'Ukraine', you should be sure which is Ukraine & which is not. Kharkov, Odessa is definitely not Ukraine
@@nafissadat8950 According to your "logic" Russia is Mongolia.
Russia getting out of Ukraine means peace talks.
It is peace talks Ukraine needs urgently not weapons.
It needs a peace plan.
Putin does not want peace. He wants to expand his dictatorship.
“Western countries would have to recognize that Russia is at war with the West, and Ukraine is simply the first victim of the war.” -General Wesley Clark
In an inconvenient truth we have to come to terms with, and fast.
Maybe educate yourself on the matter fast so you stop speaking nonsense. The west started this. Usa meddling in ukraine overthrowing the government, installing their puppet regime. Ukraine joining nato was always a red line for russia. What happened to the promise no nato towards russia. What happened to minsk agreement.
It’s not Russia who came to UK, US, Germany border …
Russia and china are at war with the west. It is the responsibility of western governments to educate their citizens with respect to the threat represented by Russia and china. Israel can look after itself the funds and weapons sent to Israel need to be sent the ukraine
Scary thought I had today. The Russian army is still bogged down in Ukraine. If there is a deal with Ukraine, that army is free to attack NATO countries. With nuclear weapons. I don't think this will be a nuclear war with the West -- but what exactly will keep the attacks off the US mainland. What would stop the hypersonic missiles. Kidnap Putin and take him to the Hague.
@@alexanderpepkin4110 Actually, it is... Ukraine was supposed to be a neutral zone, but Putin intervened in ukrainian politics in 2013, invaded Crimea in 2014 and still everybody tried to pretend that the buffer zone was still there, until Putin escalated once again in 2022, showing very clearly that the status quo was dead and Russia was coming to the NATO borders and no buffer zone would remain.
Iraq needed everything they just mentioned in 2003....
Well General Clark you are saying that they need an army and an air force that is trained with good leaders. Sounds like they better get a job.
Why is DW deleting my reference to the direct quote of American Senator Lindsay Graham with regards to his gleeful opinion of the fate of those on the front line?
They don't want to hear the truth, obviously.
😂😂😂 the pocket is still empty
Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements. Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April?
Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time
I know someone who actually didn't honor the Minsk agreements. And do you really think anyone in Ukraine would have engaged in peace talks in April 2022?
Of course, without forever war men like this would be out of work.
First smart comment
Very succinct viewpoints by Gen. Wesley Clark. Always good to hear from him, info and viewpoints !!
So the reporter was asking questions and giving answers too 😂
Ukraine will require not 60 billions but 6000 billions as per this smart guy Clark
Artillery, not artillAry.
Please correct the typo in the title
Russia has the right to defend itself against 32 countries
Of course it would have to be attacked first ...
General Sir, you had said all the truth, thank you. 👏👏👏👏
In war you need to have a complete weapons for a fight to your enemy.
In order to win or else you will lose..
Military Industrial Complex for the win!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!
Ukraine needs peace talks now, before it loses Odessa, Kharkiv and Kiev, after the whole Donbas, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson oblasts fall for the Russian forces, which is actually already happening.
A Peace Agreement needs to be the focus. The lives being lost everyday on both sides needs to end.
Yes a peace agreement in which Putin gives back all stolen Ukranian territorium and whithdrawal of russian troops completely
They need more negotiations, stop killing.
Putin does not intend to stop killing. Not in his nature.
again, just hysterical that Clark thinks another 60 million dollars thrown at Ukraine will achieve so much more than the last 90 billion dollars thrown at Ukraine achieved. I guess he didn't see the horrendous failure of Ukraine's counter offensive that the 90 billion dollars bought.
Russian Zombies got their butts kicked in all major Ukrainian cities (Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson), were forced to focus on small towns and villages, and entertain the world with copium.
@@andrewadams6905 would all major Ukrainian cities include Mariupol?
when did Russians ever enter Kiev or Kharkov?
seems like you have no clue how this war has gone!
@@duncansmith7562 Russian Spetsnaz was wiped out on Antonov airfield (6.2 miles from Kyiv) on February 24, 2022. Then the infamous Russian 40 mile Kyiv convoy was defeated and fled. Russian forces entered Kharkiv on February 27, 2014, some units were wiped out, some fled. Obviously, they never showed this on your Russian Zombie TV...
By Russian accounts, they lost 15,000 men and 200 AFV to Avdiivka. Western sources say it was much higher. The Soviet Union lost 15,000 men in 10 years in Afghanistan. If US ends another weapons shipment Russia will have no chance of taking Ukraine, Russia is already losing as much armour as it can produce each year, more ships than it can produce each year and they can not replace the 2x A-50s it lost.
@@ryuuguu01 why do you assume Russia wants to take Ukraine?
what convinces you Russia lost 2 x A50's?
how would you know what quantities of weaponry Russia is producing and will be producing?
Like what is Ukraine supposed to do with the generous delivery of 31 Abrams tanks?
Yep, Ukraine needed all of this on the first day of war but did not get it.
Clark is correct.
"Artillery" being correct.
The guy sounds like a pure war hawk
Wise man
People must know that: in last 78 years America invaded 21+ country, not Russia or china, why invaded? to keep world order, and loot poor country or dominate on weak country (run weapons business and run Two bucket theory).
Now this loot and dominance is going to end, ( china know that if today Russia lost war then next is china . And all country which is run by monarkis like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Brunei, Azarbaizan and so on. (remember last one America invaded Syria by supporting terrorist group, and regim change!) it doesn't work. Afghanistan doesn't work.
Now it is Russia, it never work and now you know it Russia loose then what will happen!
Well said! As an European, I agree.
Do you condemn NATO for situation of Ukraine? Because everyone feels fear from terror of NATO , lybia is an example
@@ImtyazbhaiVohra Strange comment I must say.
I don't condemn the NATO for the ongoing war, cause they weren't initiating it.
I don't condemn them for not acting earlier as to not escalate a war with a psychopath.
In my opinion NATO should let Ukraine join the NATO and put an end to this nonsense.
"everyone feels fear from terror of NATO"
I don't get where you're coming from... Everyone should have a right to defend themseles but not NATO countries?
With Lybia, do you mean this:
"In response to events during the First Libyan Civil War. With ten votes in favour and five abstentions, the intent of the UN Security Council was to have "an immediate ceasefire in Libya, including an end to the current attacks against civilians, which it said might constitute 'crimes against humanity"
@@ImtyazbhaiVohra russian troll! Syria, Georgia, Chechnya, Afghanistan etc!
@@ImtyazbhaiVohra5mo old account? 😂
We all know who your employer is
Each F16 cost 500 mil a year for maintance.Impossible.
F-16 only cost $65M to produce.
It always comes down to the $
What happen in Afghanistan, a country without Airforce and yet......
This INTERVIEWER 😂is like: repeat after me
"..... please do more Alensky, I want more talk time....still paying the mortgage on my countryside cottage...." 😅😅😅😅
I wonder what measures these generals take towards their own safety. Against being poisoned by a 'reporter', for instance.
No. They are outmanned 20:1. Better leadership. Grunts and geeks. Air superiority - 100+ modern jets, Long-range missiles. More Himars. More logistics.
Russian bots still here get of this sight go take a drive in your LADA Car Enjoy.
Yes bot 🙂
War mongers
bro said everything he could possibly name lol
I was dying with laughter when he started naming all weapons that was ever made lol 😂😂
These clowns never learn
Just walking and taking Ukraine
They need peace ...they need good leaders... They need people that work for peace. They don't need what you shared war monger
This may well be true that Ukraine needs more of EVERYTHING, but it plays into the critics hands that this is a "forever war" and we need to withdrawal altogether. We need to avoid such language and give it better context. For example, some of the aid can be LOANS, and a vibrant Ukrainian nation pay its own way eventually. As I listened, some context was given, good job.
Why baltick,poland?not finnland or france?we all nato members.mayby in alaska?or what?
ArtillEry, not *artillAry!
tolle frau !!! sehr interessantes interview. danke
I think Clark was avoided the time issue for a potential Russian attack on Europe. It could happen in say 3 to 5 years. So Europe need to increase defence spending. But you will not winn with money lone. You need weapons, personel and traning. Most modern weapon will have a six year timing from order to use. It tkes round six yers to train a jet fighter pilot, etc. it will take at least 10 years for Europe to be able to defend them self. Russia know this and will not wait. Without USA defense Europe can not manage this.
What do the people in your county need? They sure know what other country needs are
General Clarke, another great American general. You know I sometimes wonder if people realize what they truly get, in terms of expertise, with American support.
An example: If I remember correctly, it was General McCaffery when meeting with his Chinese counterpart asked him directly. Are you sure you wish to challenge the US in a war. "I've got 80 battle hardened senior officers behind me." What do you got? Exactly.
In terms of command. With the US military you get the undisputed C&C, total command of the battlefield and incomparable surveillance and monitoring capabilities. (a capability that saves Ukraine daily) An air combat capability that exceeds any other or combination of any other. Undisputed mastery of the oceans and a Navy that could take on everyone at once and win. etc.
The difficulty we are having is that the European nations with the exceptions of Britain, the Nordic states and Poland, was yet again totally unprepared for an attack on Europe. most European states didn't even have the ordnance to fight for 3 days. We still can't ship a mere battalion thru eastern Germany to the Baltics or answer an attack from Kalingrad because the Germans won't build the infrastructure to handle it. The French horde their weapons and think only of themselves. And so on...
It is not that the US won't defend Europe. American citizens are in agreement on this. (Forget and stop whining about trump. he won't be around much longer) But up to now it has mainly been the US paying for most things on top of the fact it costs us billions just to run exercises in Europe.
We will shortly reach a time where the US will supply all I described but the boots on the ground will have to be European. Who better to defend a land than the people who own it.
(And you better hope Europe didn't mistreat the British too much because you'll definitely need them. Dearly.)
General Clarke, proven war criminal that should be ashamed of even being able to speak today.
And yet Ukraine is losing badly
All those Western politicians, advisors and journalists have seriuosly misunderstood the conflict in Ukraine. Now we have to face the consequences in the EU... and in Ukraine.
Judging by the comments, Russian bots still have poor grammar.
😂 anti imperialism equals Russian bots
@@jessicarobinson4563 aren't the russians the ones trying to gain more territory?
helo nito bout zilinski nid yu at th frunt
Does Zelensky pay more? I could use some of that skimmed money to go to school and perfect my grammar.
How can we handle the Russian bots who have totally taken over message boards about Putin and Ukraine since the death of Navalny. I propose a law. If you take away one bot account, a hundred more instantly replace them. Do not remove them. Label them. Say from such-and-such's troll farm, or AI. Being creative, we could leave up those bot-covered videos and respond to them solely with US-created AI. They'd be unreadable. You know the bots are trying to make us give up. They sure aren't harmless. I'm doing my bit by posting everywhere and making these boards at least a little readable.
Ukraine needs more weapons and time. Russia has weapons and time. So what about speed?
Is he really a general? He didn’t even mention that Ukraine needs more soldiers…😂 and more importantly a smart and non-corrupted government😂😂😂
The US stopped the support for military aide to UKRAINE.
That is the result of the loss of the Ukraine ADVIVKA province.
Did the general suggest striking deep into Russia?😂😂😂
artillary? reely?
Artillery.... really
Nowt sow
Yes. Artillery shells can be delivered quickly and used immediately. If they get a supply of artillery shells it will immediately slow the Russian attacks and reduce Ukrainian casualties. It will also increase Russian casualties. Russian losses for the Avdiivka battle according to Russian sources were 15,000 men and 200 armoured vehicles, Western sources put the numbers much higher. The Russian number is as many men as the Soviets lost in Afghanistan in 10 years. If Ukraine has enough artillery shells the Russian losses will be significantly higher.
Living at Russia's mercy with or without all the help
Ukraine needs to join NATO. NATO needs to admit Ukraine into NATO.
Old folks had a sayin' "evil people even death don't won't to touch" Just sayin.
And more 500 helmets.
The maga republicans are embarrasing themselves in front of the entire world, and actively emboldening tyrants around the world to take advantage of our disunity. Ronald Reagan would indeed be twisting in his grave if he knew how low the republican party has fallen
An intelligent man speaking.
Lost all wars but sure enough, the General is ever ready with strategic advice.
Military industrial complex speaks.
Germany: You can't win a war against Russia.
Zelensky: Why?
Germany: Because we already tried and it didn't end well for us
Well in WW1 it worked quite well WW2 it didn’t but in both occasions russia was by no means the only ones the Germans were fighting.
Zelensky is not invading Russia in case you had not noticed.
Right now would be more pro in peace talks with a Russia and reconnect while the wotking parties are still in control to show them selfs a more experienced new reconnection in business if they would allow them selfs to reconnect with on new connected networks of doing peacufull business within and outside flow of business. I think it's only their business of how they would like it to be and numbers will show in time of how it all will all go on within their reach of letting it keep on connecting with time allowing to set business in gears of time.
Spell check on title
Exactly!
Very well said, General Clark.
But...but.. if you send long range missles for ukraine to strike deep into russia..wouldnt that be an act of war? Is this dude insane?
he's old, he does not care
Isn't Russia doing the same to Ukraine? Why the double standards?
@@TurinStark5 I don't think you realise what this would mean. It would mean that the countries supplying the weapons are directly in war with Russia, which is WW3 - a hot WW3 in which many, many people will die. Do you realise that?
Every song has an end, the weapons will be given to Ukriane and will get used up, then what ?
BUSINESS CONNECTIONS
Ukraine needs an apology
😂😂😂NATO can only win in Hollywood movies😂😂😂
Ukraine needs to sign the Istanbul agreement
Ukraine has signed the Istanbull agreement, which really has nothing to do with this topic.
@mortenrobinson5421 Why comment if you have no idea?
@@alexanderpepkin4110 the only thing I have no idea about is your comment? 🤔
@mortenrobinson5421 I know. That’s why I am saying. The agreement he refers to, has never been signed because of UK/US involvement. It was peace deal in March 2022 between Russia-Ukraine
Ofc we need all this, like yesterday. Ask uself where will u bee the thay after tomorrow
Why does this script never change .......why does the US not want Ukraine win ?
Why not suggest a cease fire and negotiation ? Why they want to prolong this conflict same happened to Afghanistan war. Why they want to drag lots of countries to be involved to this conflict ? It's seems they really want to go world war 3.
On what terms? Then what if Russia is gonna repeat it in a year or two but take 30% of territories instead. Again suggest cease fire and negotiation?
Ukrainian need peace talk
Keep coping
The only thing Ukraine needs is more money
😂😂😂😂😂😂 simply put they need to negotiate 😂😂😂😂
He is not uppdate u sent more to Afghanistan
Pretty fair interview from a leftie general.
Yep Arlillary is not a thing change thumbnail looks bad
Well 2 years ago saying Russia is poor & weak country with GDP like a Texas, it's economy would collapse within a month, and so on ... now saying Russia will _undoubtedly_ continue if it wins over Ukraine. Lots of present population finally mastered doublethink. So the world doesn't need to solve pollution, deforestation, clean energy, mental health, sanity and increasing gap between technological advance and a slow social/psychical progress , ... - no, it needs more guns, jets, missiles, tanks, artillery and most of all - continues American hegemony and influence all over the world. Elites nowadays are just crazy and out of any sense - unable to cope with the fact that if the whole humanity hasn't change and FAST, we will all parish. Or the most powerful ones are so old, that they know that they won't be a part of the future anyway, so they don't care the world will fall with them.
Ukraine’s top negotiator, Davyd Arakhamia: Russia was “prepared to end the war if we agreed to... neutrality, and committed that we would not join NATO.”
But the US and UK stood in the way.
Hi CZcams.. Please don't delete my comment for using nuke .. I'm a doctor and I feel sympathy for Ukraine ... Ukraine sometimes look a lot like a patient diagnosed with terminal end stage cancer , at that point , we usually let the patient choose to Fight with any available treatment or choose just palliative care which means patient will soon die ... Now Ukraine is choose "To.l fight" despite knowing the fact that Russia will use nuke at some point or when Russia is about to be defeated, .. as Ukraine choose to Fight, it also now have prolonged suffering just like terminal cancer but Ukraine still choose to Fight against all odds , against all the suffering, with all available support although it is moving gradually towards nuke war at the end😢stay strong Ukraine 💪💪
