Gen. David Petraeus (Ret.) speaks with CNN's Jim Sciutto on the US and its NATO allies announcing shipments of tanks to the Ukrainian military, how that will affect the risk of Russian escalation, and what the West can do to help Ukraine reduce civilian casualties. #CNN #News
Retired general on what it would take to convince Putin war is unsustainable
As long as he has the ability to send people to their demise without repercussion, he has no incentive to stop if stopping means the end of his power or his life.
@Mr. V Hmm I wonder why it was.
manpower and time are russia’s advantage.
Both sides lack an airforce?
Where’s the Russian migs?
I find it incomprehensible that politicians can bring about the deaths of 10s or 100s of thousands with little personal consequence yet an individual can be put to death in many countries for the death of just one.
@Mit Seraffej here is the thing i agree with you but putin isnt a politician he is just a gangster no on elects him no one questions him …he is kept away from the russian people. regarding REAL politicians in democratic countries and the part they play in the deaths of people ..yes i agree if they faced real consequences i wonder would things change for the better? But it would have to be all politicians in all countries for it to work ..maybe we can evolve.
“…what it would take to convince Putin…”
His rapidly impending doom.
He may only realise it posthumously.
@Sanju Shah you dont die from LSD.
Didn’t work with Hitler and won’t work with Putin.
@zzzub mno Yes I know
@Sanju Shah only for a few hours lol.
“…what is would take to convince Putin…”
A fragging.
complete water boarding for all to see would be cool
was thinkin a true russian patriot would consider many options yours 100%
Won’t happen
we live in hope
Being dead is the only thing that will change his mind, that’s for sure.
General Petraeus. I served in Iraq under this man. The “hearts and minds” ideology that he instilled is the reason why I can be proud of my service. It’s the reason that I get what little sleep I still do at night. Listen when this man speaks. Thank you, sir. It was a real honor.
@Kay Richard I readily admit my country has committed horrible atrocities. And it’s also done positive and noble things. Like every other great nation, we have a mixed history, but we’ve done our best to evolve into a better society.
As a lifelong student of history, I’m somewhat amused that you can write that America has “murdered millions” and in the very next line claim that “Russia hasn’t done 10% of what your country did.” I can cite for you historical examples where Russia EXPLICITLY “murdered millions” — something that the US has actually never done. In that regard, compared to Russia, America is a piker.
All that aside, are you suggesting that, because one nation has, sometime in the past, committed atrocities, that provides justification for other countries to do the same? Perhaps you should THINK next time before you type!
It wasn’t ALL IN 😂
HE IS A liar, OMG west is been doubted into fake news, how and where are you going to hide these tanks to send it inside Ukraine? everything makes in Russian satellites locates and takes them out, Ukrainian forces can not even know how to use them, they need logistics, repair, bombs to go with, are you guys buying this? there will be no delivery of tanks, west can not send a truck load of Rifles to Ukraine not alone Tanks, there are no military installations left in Ukraine to bomb anymore, Zelensky just said it todays interview. Putin is not going to get out of anything until it is finished, I have never seen such a lies and depression from our stand point that they have no option’s but the waste the lives of Ukrainian boys shame on you all war mongers, you never stop.
I always listen to Petraeus. He’s one of the top military analysts in the world. “Kleptocracy” is my new favorite word. That’s what you get when people just do whatever TF they want.
1 million Iraqi dead – how is Iraq better
Putin’s goal was to keep Ukraine out of NATO.
Ukraine has been more quickly and thoroughly integrated into NATO’s defense capability than would have been the case had he never invaded.
Talk about unintended consequences.
@Bonnie All foreign and independent observers from all countries was invited. Those who was on referendum approve it like legal. So it’s mean that it’s legal by UN Chapter. Soldiers with guns…. you are very funny boy. In Crimea 99% even don’t know Ukraine language ))) It’s Russians. lol About others – since 2014 to 2022 Nazi Ukraine government kill more 14 000 etnic civilian russians in Donbuss. It was war and genocide. Of course people decide join under Russian Nuclear shield. No one there didn’t want to give up to nazi Ukraine government which kill them ))) lol

Biden is the leader we need to give us victory in war with Russia! 🎉🌊🌊
Our military is ready to die in battle for Ukraine’s democracy !!
👏🏻🌊🇺🇸🇺🇦🌈
Agreed, Mr Putin has made NATO more united than it has ever been before, he certainly made some grave miscalculations.
@pisac Senna Vladolf Pootin made his imperial goals clear many times, he was set on war and the point of frozen conflicts and the Crimean annexation was to weaken Ukraine’s position, creating border disputes.
No matter what you say the facts speak for themselves. Vladolf Pootin lied about invading, no attempt to secure a settlement or avoid violent force. They even staged fake “provocation” like Hitler to claim justification, only their video was recycled from years old training exercise in Finland.
Kremlin lies don’t change facts, the fools are those who still believe them.
The U.S. needs an ‘export’ tank that it can sell to its allies
Personally I believe harder arguments should be made. I heard that introducing lead to a persons brain often changes their mind.
A trip out a window from the top floor would change his mind.
Or. Moab
Would probably change the whole head
“One Putin down! Send up another!”
They have a whole raft of Russian nationalists with pretty much the same agenda. There is NO easy way out of this mess.
As he sailed past the second floor, he was heard to say, “OK so far”
If I were in the room with him, that’s what I’d do. That one’s a real classic too. It is called defenestration. Literally “unwindowing” in English. Would be fun to watch him splatter.
2 weeks would be plenty for many of these professional tankers. Using third party training contractors restricted to their base👌 Russia falling apart at a convenient time seems aspirational perhaps at this point.
Moving his desk at the 10.th floor next to a large window might convince him.
defenestration is a well proven political act in ruZZia
Now Ukraine needs Fighter jets like F16 to give airsupport to these tanks and their logistics.
Lockheed Martin just announced they are stepping up more production of F-16s
Hilarious how they don’t say anything to you about nuclear bomb shelters while implying the risk of nuclear war is like 99.9% now 😂🤣
And in addition there are those 36 German Gepard SPAAG (Flakpanzer Gepard) who seem to be a nice to have for the Ukrainian air defence. I’m just glad we Germans are on the right side of history this time.
Should make short work of whatever junky old planes the Russians have left.
@Lurch You are a presumptuous bunch. That is what we call underestimating your opponent.

Russia will turn them into junk iron
Yes, once again Germany against Russia, what posible can go wrong? I guess ignorance of History is not limited to the Americans but the Germans too? They should talk to their grandmother’s to have a better and more informed opinions about Russian armys, Russian people, Russian love for the motherland. Don’t bet that you are in the right side
Gen. David Petraeus forgets more than I could comprehend in a lifetime study of using the military most effectively in war.
New Rule: Every time this guy calls our tanks “Abrahams,” Britain has to donate another Challenger
Gen. David Petraeus has a really good style of talking. Very methodical and straight to the point. Hand gestures on point. He makes it look easy.
Biden is a walking reptile, a natural psychopath. And you Americans are zombies, imbecile morons)))) controlled degenerates)))asdeF
老實說，我們都記得這個視頻：-

General Patraeus is correct Ukraine needs tanks and much more. I called my govt reps last week and they said they are hearing from folks about this and I was glad to hear that.

I heard that Russia’s military equipment factories are operating around the clock churning out rockets, tanks, etc.
As the Dictator explains why he is safe, the message goes to all his enemies that he knows he is vulnerable.
In a killer society the greatest killer is the target.
The greatest killer has “burnt a lot of bridges”.
The question is, what does Putin choose to do when he finally reaches that conclusion? He’s not exactly the kind of man that backs down. He can only escalate, which leaves NATO with little room for error. We learned that from the Cold War.
