🇷🇺🤥 Russia's military has been deceiving Putin for years. Equipment that didn't work. Contractors paid to approve things that should never have been approved. And the man they were lying to built his entire career on detecting exactly that. Retired US Army @general_ben, in an exclusive interview, says this corruption is what has been breaking Russia's war from day one. "The corruption had created a situation where there was not accurate reporting. Equipment in storage turned out to be unready — even though the ministry had been paying contractors to approve it." Putin isn't micromanaging this war because he's in control. He's doing it because he can no longer trust anyone. Full interview in first comment ↓ | Extended cut for X subscribers

Such a clown. This admin can’t take one moment of decency without being garbage about it

I’m sorry but it is not mine. It is a fake, using my name and likeness. I have zero YT channels. Please do not subscribe to it.

That’s gotta hurt. War is a test of Will and a test of Logistics. Losing so many trucks degrades Russian logistics significantly.

Russia has been at war with the West for years. The risk of escalation by Russia increases if we continue to fail to acknowledge that and don’t take action to inflict consequences on them for their Gray Zone operations. The Kremlin only respects strength.

'Russia is trying to scare European countries away from supporting Ukraine, but they understand to best protect themselves, Ukraine must defeat Russia.' Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Ben Hodges (@general_ben) joins @Nicole_Zedeck

Pathetic. Administration’s approach was doomed from the start. They didn’t understand or care about the cause of the war, started by demanding UKR give up territory, never acknowledged that Russia was the aggressor, bragged about slashing aid for UKR. How embarrassing.

Russia’s war in Ukraine is “closer to the end” than to the beginning, @general_ben said in our #POLITICOTheSpeakeasy. “I can’t put a number on it, but the momentum has shifted, I think irreversibly.” 📹 Watch the full interview: politico.eu/article/globsec-… #GLOBSEC2026

First step to liberating Crimea is to isolate it by cutting this road and the Kerch Bridge. Next step is to make it untenable and unusable for Russian forces.

There is no way the republicans would be anything less that outraged if Obama had taken almost $2 billion of taxpayer dollars and given it to people he pardoned for trying to steal an election. Every republican in congress who doesn’t speak up and prevent this is complicit

Every decision and announcement about Europe, Ukraine, NATO which comes from this Administration is something that the Kremlin would want and welcome.
