Thank Admiral, this is a point of view of an America Admiral, isn't ?
What do you expect from him to say ?
I bet nothing good about Russia, so we can understand that.
Putin may loose the battle in Ukraine but the reality is people no longer trust USA and
Europe as they do in the past.
All that because of your lies and manipulations in objective not to help but to dominate.
We are living in this world together and we need to share the resources in honest and
respective way not by deceiving others.
China is becoming powerful economically by honest collaboration with others countries not bringing war
in those countries as you USA and Europe do. Now with social media all your deceits, manipulations
and dominance are let bare.
And people (countries) start to understand and will refuse to collaborate with, USA and Europe.
So your decline is imminent because of your arrogance and deceit.
No mater what your ADMIRAL says who cares.
At this moment I doubt it. Unless they get more help.
I HAVE A DREAM: I want Russia to attack the United States with nuclear bombs, capture it, and give all white Americans into slavery to blacks for 1000 years.
USA is NATO root they are all behind this mess.
Just imagine it, If Russia, China, Nort korea and Iran stick together straight away boming USA with nuclear in same time.
Even after 10 years, the US couldn’t ‘win’ in Vietnam. Probably a similar situation with Russia and Ukraine.
Congratulations to Putin! Of course Putin destroys Ukraine – thanks an US idiot President!
What a stupid question how can someone win a war that make you poor, refugee, victim of war has for now million people of Ukraine's have fleed there homes and they have lost many things "saying " they will win the war is like laughing to them. when someone with his family sleeping out side in the cold Americans stop lying to Ukraine's they will suffer more trying to fight back Z amry of Russia
😂This is the work of America create war, sell weapons and stay away from conflicts just enjoy earning money by escalating the war.
Smerconish is one of the smartest guys around. Maybe grass really doesn't grow on a busy street. And it's quite possible Putin isn't in charge by the end of the year. Maybe not PROBABLE, but POSSIBLE.
Ukraine wont win. Period. A lot of bloodshed anyway.
#Ukraine is awesome and the whole world is proud of their amazing fight !! the fight back 2022 ! is one for the historic record books ! #UKRAINE is doing great ! 25,000 #Russians dead now ,..half of vietnam in 2 weeks so KEEP UP THE FIGHT UKRAINE BABY !!!!' never stop 1!! : )
Putin is having serious mental health problems and needs medical attention. If not, more Ukrainian people will be killed. When the war is over, Putin should be in a mental health institution.
Respect to him, how great is he
The unfit government of Russia lost the moment that they set their sights on invading a free Ukraine and on adding to the suffering of Russians, too,

Most Americans want Russia to pay for what Ivan Drago did to Apollo Creed in Rocky 4.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 Never forget
Ukraine has already been sold to Russia by the USA, UK and France like Poland in 1945.,
im suprised admiral mc raven hasnt touched on the topic of a proxy war which is the only way this war can be won.The US and nato have to enter and challenge the no fly zone unofficially and deny their involvement. You cannot play fair with a liar and war criminal who is prepared to use chemical weapons and possibly a nuclear weapon. At present the ukraines defence is doomed to fail because of the amount of weaponry the russians have at their disposal especially if putin uses chemical weapons . he ll take kyiv over in 10 days with chemical weapons and there will be mass casualties .supplying weapons to the ukrainians and especially untrained common people only costs russian people massive military fatalities at best and further financial burden which takes time but doesnt change the final result.It just delays it .mariupol will fall and the east column will join the south and head north towards kiev and cut off supply lines from the west ,at that point they will starve kyiv of everything including ammunition , food and water and power and sanitation.
Unless the west steps in .possibly then or if kyiv falls and the defense lines move west ,a red line will be drawn with the west and nato and possibly ukraine will be split into 2 halves with no access to the sea.worse case ,putin takes all of ukraine and a democratic country dies wile the west watchs . bidens and natos and indias cowardice will cause a country that fought for democarcy to fall .At least kennedy stood up to the north vietnamese and drew a line and stopped communism spreading just as he did in the cuban missile crisis .There are no strong western leaders and putin knows this .I dont think he would have even taken on that turd trump because he was a loose canon and stood up to him.No one woud ever accuse trump of being rational .hed literally grab putin by the pussy that he is .
Support Ukraine!💛💙 Check this video for info:

I'm going to give props to CNN for this – solid interview, no meaningless opinions from the host just straight (and legit) questions that the guest could answer based on his considerable experience. I wish all news just did *this*.
Russia will destroy Ukraine. Just shows how many suckers in the USA. US started all this.
propaganda
This foolish admiral sitting here lying to the world that Ukraine can beat Russia and all the fire power they got … and they’re too fucking scared to fuck with Putin… they will talk shit to the last dead Ukrainian.
I wasn’t alive when Hitler committed suicide on April 30, 1945, but let me say, the day Putin is next I will be throwing a party!
Go Vlad go! Crush those Ukries!
Hope Russia wins
The war is too much. Putin has gone too far yes. But why Ukraine and Nato insist on joining together when Russia had made it clear for years it was the one red line that shouldnt be crossed? Why Ukraine insists on joing a military alliance, Nato. If Ukraine wants to get close to the West, why can't it join EU. Russia has always been fine with that.
Nice point of view from the General
An American General essentially said the same thing, however, he summarizes this outcome as "The Ukraine with be Putin's poisoned Chalice and his prison" he clarified that invasion and occupation does not equate to defeat—–an occupation can become a prison, and this will be Putin's slow death.
I think Putin believed Zelensky was "Just an Actor" that he was weak, inexperienced, and could be crushed in an hour. Never expected him to become an International Icon, Hero, most respected person and leader in the World. Even here in the USA Zelensky is a household name and hero—we have turned around from "None of our business" to overwhelming "armor, fund, and ammunition him up".
Take the Russian coffee and cigarettes away that will stop this war quick guaranteed.
They are winning.
The devil and his dirty looks fanboy coloring book no fly zone, you buying any of this disco blow nose, leaky ho squeeze non sense? I say there is a color theory 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🕺🕺Nazi just off camera.
CNN Entry in a private lobbies of Eight state's PRO NAZI ideology and reserve.
Never trust anyone who uses their rank after they have retired. They are just hiding behind it.
Coward! Watching Russian kill civilian and do nothing.
Вы одобряете прятаться за мирных жителей ?
PUT NATO JETS IN THE AIR NOW!!
Putin doesn't want the Ukrainian people…he's killing them.
He doesn't want Ukraine infrastructure; he's bombing it flat!
That only leaves the DIRT!
As crazy as Putin is, do you think he's going to push the red button and END THE WORLD just for a piece of dirt (and now rubble) the size of Texas?
I say put NATO jets in the air NOW…announce them to Putin ahead of time as being "defensive"…. and shoot down any Russian jets that invade UKRAINIAN airspace! Then he can't use his "fake flag" that "Russia is being threatened".
"Hello, Joe, Justin, Boris, Emmanuel, Frank-Walter…please explain what you DON'T LIKE about my plan!
Filling the Ukrainians with False Hope and offering nothing but fine words and buildings lit in yellow and blue. Pathetic. Americans have had their sons spill blood for people whom didn't deserve it. Now, that their may be a "just cause", we are not willing to fight any longer. Nice job Bushie. Nice job Barry.

Strength and honor to the ukranians. They will not go out without a fight. Don't get mad get even. “When strong, avoid them. If of high morale, depress them. Seem humble to fill them with conceit. If at ease, exhaust them. If united, separate them. Attack their weaknesses. Emerge to their surprise.” ― Sun Tzu
“The morale is to the physical as 3 to 1.” – Napoleon Bonaparte
Putin has allready lost by starting this war.
His psychology needs to be evaluated.
The world wants it to stop.
Putin is a loser by starting this war.
only way Russia can be compared to Afghan is both Biden and Putin sending in troops without telling them shit
