for that, we are being joined by mister l hodge, digit t a. he's the president of the timber to center. it's a premier think tank and molly, focusing on piece building solutions in the saw how l hodge, thank you for joining us 1st. why does it seem like the world always focuses on, british colonial colonialism, but seem to forget the french history of colonialism as well? does it seem like france sort of gets a path? well says, it's all, it's really important to let you know that the british colonization was a rule. and then the french colonization was a dial tone, whereby french colonizer came in pauses of language in pause the way the colonizer culture is a business colonization. they came to africa, learn about history, culture and colonized african. but in general colonization, it's colonization. there is no good colonization over the which countries in africa saw the french colonies and what impacts do we still see from that today? can you sort of expand on what that french french influence looks like right now, densely, and is all about

now l hodge de jet t a b tim back to center is staying with us. so el hodge. let's talk a little bit about monetary policy. in the former franco africa, i've seen reports that something like 80 percent of african foreign reserves of these countries are deposited in so called operations accounts, which are controlled by the french treasury. now, by some estimates collectively around half a trillion us dollars are held by french banks and that there are caps on the amount of money the african states are actually allowed to access. official reporting on that is really spotty at best. but there are allegations that if those african states needed more than the a lot of 15 percent of their accounts, then those france french banks can charge interest on their own capital. have you ever heard of anything like this or these reports accurate? yeah, there is a lot of rainbows about about the money and from when we talk about west africa must have, does its french call on a use what we call from so this could and it is but a very low and for me at country cannot be develo

all right, l hodge digit is staying with us. now coming up next, we will delve into the finances of some african states under the control of france . is this financial guardianship needed? we'll discuss it when we return, sit tight. the ammo will be right back out in ah, with a i really thought that we were going to die in fly. i crawled all the way to the right other than i hid behind death on my fears before i was even born. and this has happened again and again and again and again and again, because people continue to stick with the system, i don't do any other day. and only one of them came home. basically we want to make sure that certain things that are just too dangerous or regular civilian should be in the hands of those people who are and say, i think no way to start think hi, i'm rick sanchez. and i'm here to play with you. whatever you do, you do not watch my new show. seriously. why watch something that so different my little opinions that you won't get anywhere else work of it please. if you have the state departmen

it is interesting, you know, hodges also talked about the capability to deliver a decisive outcome. we know that the ukrainians want western fighter jets, but you know, that would take time to deliver. you have to train the pilot. what else could come under the definition of capability in your well, there have been talks about delivering helicopters instead of fighter jazz because it wouldn't take that long and it would be easier in logistical terms. however, you know that capability deliver a decisive blow and what, what kind of blow does band hodges in this h a blow on the battlefield? because, you know, we have several hot spots on the battlefield. so i think in terms of kind of offensive technologies that ukrainian forces would need much more technology and also manpower as well as skill in order to be able to orchestrate that kind of decisive blow. i wanna get your take on what we'd begin, the program with how russia would react if it was excluded from the next olympic games. or if there was a boy caught by other nations. i mean, from your point of view, would that have any imp

what kind of blow does band hodges envisage a blow on the battlefield? because, you know, we have several hot spots on the battlefield. so i think in terms of kind of offensive technologies, a ukrainian forces would need much more technology and also manpower as well as skill in order to be able to orchestrate that kind of decisive blow. i wanna get your take on what we begin the program with how russia would react if it was excluded from the next olympic games. or if there was a boy caught by other nations. i mean, from your point of view, would that have any impact on russia's military strategy in ukraine? i don't think it would affect a military strategy per c. i think it will play out more on the diplomatic level. and i'm sure that russia will not be happy and to see band, but that will again, plane play into rushes, narrative. it's been saying all along that it is fighting against neat or so i think that, you know, the russians might be prepared that they will be banned and excluded from the international community as, as rogue state. and my thinkin

ben hodges: thank you. busy schedule this week. lt. gen. ben hodges: thank you. i am grateful for the offered -- opportunity. i am grateful for the opportunity. crimea is decisive. if ukrainian forces were to liberate all of donbas, that would not necessarily change the outcome of the conflict, but crimea will. for ukraine you have to liberate crimea, which is feasible by the end of this summer. if we do certain things, donbas will follow. will follow. why is crimea decisive? as long as russian forces occupy crimea, there could be next attacks. if there was a peace settlement where russia was allowed to keep crimea, ukraine would never be safe. they could -- russia could use the black sea fleet. it would be the place to start the next iteration of this war, because that is what they would do. they would wait two or three years, think about what they did wrong, then it would be game on again. that is part of the reason i think it is decisive. it is also decisive because we have not given ukraine anything with arrangement beyond 90 kilometers, crimea is a sanctuary

in europe, hodges even published a preliminary plan, natalya solovyova carefully studied it. they call it releasing another takeover plan. in the united states , of course , they offer the ukrainian military a former commander of ground forces in the united states to implement it general ben hodges publishes a detailed map of how he sees a successful attack. first, a series of strikes with long-range precision weapons on the naval bases in sevastopol dzhankoy and saki, then the destruction of the supply line connecting the peninsula with the russian mainland, the crimean bridge and the land route from rostov through mariupol and melitopol, so according to the hodges plan. crimea will be without support and cover immediately after that it is a peninsula. it will be possible to introduce armored units of the apu. those who express skepticism with a relative idea, first of all, they say that crimea cannot be liberated by ukraine, but they think linearly, that is, about pushing russian troops to the east. they are about how to make the peninsula insolvent with the help of long-ra

ben hodges: this question has come up a lot in the last couple weeks. that son -- that says something about their great offensive. their offensive, not long ago people were talking about 500,000 russians on the border. then this weekend i heard people anxious because they heard russians were pulling aircraft out of storage. there is no way you could get me in a russian aircraft. [laughter] what kind of condition that thing is in. i think it has started. it has taken the shape of an infusion of poorly trained, poorly supplied conscripts into the meat grinder. i do not see so far the sort of things you would expect in an offensive. with a concentration of capabilities, forces to exploit. even if bakhmut fell tomorrow, then what? there is nothing with which they can exploit that. i could be wrong, they could be deceiving us. that would be an incredible intelligence folly for all of us is a large, capable mobile force appeared out of nowhere, trained and ready to do something. we know the russians are having their own ammunitions troubles. putin is not gett

i'm ben hodges didn't say was a series of victory looks like so. i'm not sure what kind of objectives he's seeking to achieve when he's talking about victory. and the war of being over ukraine has a certain idea of rethinking the entire a territories now captured by his russian forces including crimea. so if we take that into consideration, i do not seeing that his prognosis is realistic. and we also have to be careful when we're talking about capabilities and delivering technology to ukraine. apart from all the logistical and financial issues that it might bring was, it was a have to seen that technology is never a decisive factor. it is a force multiplier, but there are so many examples from military history were technology wasn't that decisive. and, and, you know, we just need to look at afghanistan as an example where you have a superior military with superior technology, still losing, it's a contest of wills and it will depend on who can outlast the other one. and i'm sure that the russians are not going to give up that quickly. so prognostic

us general ben hodges publishes a detailed map of how he sees a successful attack.series of strikes with long-range precision weapons on naval bases in sevastopol dzhankoy and saki, then destruction supply lines connecting the peninsula with the russian mainland, the crimean bridge and the overland route from rostov via mariupol and melitopol, so according to the hodges plan. crimea will be without support and cover immediately after that on the peninsula. it will be possible to introduce armored units of the apu. those who express skepticism about the relative idea of ​​crimea first of all say that ukraine cannot liberate it, but they think linearly, that is , about pushing russian troops to the east. they're about making an island insolvent with a ranged high-precision weapons from kiev, indeed , belligerent statements are being heard more and more often preparing for an offensive on the peninsula. for the zelensky regime , the so-called diapason is seen as the highest point of success , the goal of our counteroffensive is to liberate all the occupied territories

he believes that the administration has not yet given a clear answer to this question, and ben hodges believes that at this stage of the war in the united states, the biden administration should believe that the ukrainians can to win this war and should not only do everything possible to help the ukrainians achieve this but he believes ben hudzits that the administration should send these messages very clearly and from the podium of the white house let's hear what ben hodges said i think that the administration is doing a great job of providing capabilities and keeping the alliance united but they still haven't accepted the idea that ukraine really can win they don't talk about ukraine winning they talk about how to help ukraine be successful and avoid defeat and because of that they hold back and don't all and the necessary weapons that would ensure the success of ukraine, so i think that they still cannot formulate. perhaps they have not yet decided what they see as the ultimate goal. and it should be the victory of ukraine and the defeat of russia the administration is also working

and such plans of kiev were told by the ex-commander of the us army in europe, ben hodges. why the states are increasingly pushing ukraine to attack the peninsula, and how these plans for the capture are commented on in moscow natalya solovyova they call it liberation, another plan to capture the crimea has matured in the united states to be implemented in his life is of course offered to the ukrainian military by the former commander of the us ground forces, general ben hodges, publishes a detailed map of how he sees a successful attack. first, a series of strikes with long-range precision weapons on the naval bases in sevastopol dzhankoy and saki, then the destruction of the supply line connecting the peninsula with the russian mainland, the crimean bridge and the land route from rostov through mariupol and melitopol, so according to the hodges plan. crimea will be without support and cover immediately after that it is a peninsula. can be introduce armored units of the apu. those who express skepticism about the relative idea of ​​crimea first of all say that ukraine cann

and we had joined now by retired us general ben hodges, former commander of the united states army in europe. welcome to d, w. so can i start by asking their ukranian soldiers and cranium? people have superior will, but the key is, can the wes delivered to ukraine the logistics, the weapons that they need to defeat russia? i believe the answers. yes. which brings me very nicely on to my next question. the punish. prime minister is in team. he's announced the arrival in ukraine of javin made left the 2 tanks. tell us how can these tang and other western supplied weapons be used by ukraine most effectively? so i think they built up logistics, but of to go into a direction that would have a decisive outcome that would help isolate crimea, because crimea really is the decisive part of this war. so i think they'll continue supporting the troops that are in the, in the around bach mood, for example, where the russians are so focused to continue to hold them back. but saving their newest armored forces, which will include of, eventually these, the german that lay apart, the french air mix ve
