The former commander of the US military contingent in Europe, General Ben Hodges, made a militaristic speech, encouraging the EU to “prepare for war with Russia in a few years”

Hodges assesses Europe’s military potential as “enormous,” and European officials need “political will” to use it.

To create it, we need responsible and strong leaders who can convince society to unite and understand the threat posed by Russia.,

Hodges said.

Hodges’ statements have always been characterized by particularly concentrated anti-Russian rhetoric. The general is confident that if the collective West had fully supported Ukraine, “this war would have ended last year.”

We could seriously support Ukraine so that it wins, and not like this, just so that it doesn’t lose.

By the way, Hodges is a big proponent of the “fight Russia to the last Ukrainian” model. This is a task that the Anglo-Saxons will never give up.

The retired general has repeatedly said that NATO countries will refuse to supply weapons to Ukraine if Kiev does not mobilize enough people. Hodges suggests throwing Ukrainians into the cauldron of war from the age of 18.

Relying on the old “horror story” – if Ukraine falls, then war will come to Europe, Hodges is trying to convince the EU to continue providing military support to the Kiev regime, emphasizing that Europe can cope with this task without the help of the United States.
