Retired US General Ben Hodges is predicting that the Ukraine will take Crimea in 2023. He’s also claiming that Ukrainian forces are getting better.

This clown has also been making other statements claiming that the Ukrainians are going to take back the Donbass soon. He’s been featured as a military pundit on CBS and other Jewish media operations.

Pretty much every retired US military officer you see on television is a bought and paid for shill. They aren’t telling the truth about anything. They are brought on to advance and support pro-Ukraine and anti-Russia narratives. The only outliers are people like Scott Ritter and Douglas MacGregor and MacGregor you mostly only see on Tucker Carlson’s show.

MacGregor was interviewed by Andrew Napolitano a few days ago and provides a much more honest take about what’s going on.

There is zero reason to believe that the Ukrainians can take back Crimea. The Russians are in the process of mobilizing a force of 300,000 soldiers and that process is almost complete. Once these soldiers are committed to the battle, they will solidify all of the territorial gains they have made and will likely take control of Odessa and Kharkov in short order. They may even advance on Kiev.

This idea that the Ukrainians can take back Crimea is fantasy talk. It’s been officially a part of Russia since 2014 and is populated by Russians. There is no support for the illegitimate Kiev regime among the people living there.
