from our let's bring and ben hodges, former commanding general of the u. s. army in europe and senior adviser with human rights 1st in frankfort. general ha, just thank you so much for rejoining us here on the program. these reports suggesting that ukraine is just weeks away from running out of missiles to support its air defense network situation. sounds dire, is it? well, sir, thank you. yes, of course, it is significant. and in the ukraine is running low on their air and missile defense systems. and ammunition for those systems. and it highlights the fact that we need to help ukraine deny sanctuary for russia in crimea, another occupied parts of ukraine from which they are launching aircraft and drones and missiles. so part of this is the need to get them more ammunition, but also to deny the sanctuary from which russia is able to last. there's a tax the late documents. general hodges also suggests that there is concern that that person could use any weakness here to use is fighter jets, has considerable air power to change the course of the war. do you

ben hodges, if he shares those concerns. the russian air force has not impressed me for the last 14 months, even though they had a huge numerical superiority. it's clear that they don't have the training or the ability to really achieve air superiority. this is something that the german air force, british royal air force, the u. s. air force. we would have done this in the 1st days of any conflict, especially with that kind of numerical superiority. the russians were not able to do that. so it's not just because of the brave and no very competent, ukrainian air defense. it's because i don't think the russians really know how to do it, but, but general hodges, i mean that the whole point here though is that if there is a break and that defense could there be a window for putting and don't. these leaks essentially give him a bit of a playbook now on how to have a window to defeat the ukrainian military. well, to be honest, clear, i think the russians already knew all this, this, this is information that's come to light for us.

let's bring in ben hodges. he is the former commanding general of the us army, europe, and chairman of the globe sack future security and defense council. he is a close observer of the war. thank you so much for rejoining us, general hodges. we appreciate your time. russia claiming in the past 24 hours that its bagginger mercenaries have taken 2 more districts in bach moot. how important is that, sir? a bach mood is actually all about crimea. ukraine has managed for 9 months to stop russian forces from capturing buck mood. in the meanwhile, they have been building up forces that they're going to use and they're offensive, which i think happens in several more weeks. that will be aimed at isolating the crime in peninsula and then eventually making crimea untenable for russian forces. so this is amazing what ukrainian forces have done with huge sacrifice, but they've done it with forces without having to take away the, the forces they need for the offensive. we would call this an economy of force sacrifices, but

they bought 7 receipts, benson at a time, all 280 se else plots. hodges 600. saddam i wonder if this car could be the very 1st mosquitoes in albania. oh, okay. cool, i think this car is the 1st point of reference for albanians and the mercedes benz brand from the looks to the idea that it was used by the former dictator and was considered the most important safest and most valuable car of the time. of course it was an absolutely secret car until the ninety's. so if you look for the beginnings of mercedes and albania, i think the origins are right here. she thought of offensive, and they said would be good for lisa. now that i tracked down a small but important piece of the puzzle i carried on my quest to find out exactly what a tree pointed star rules albanian streets in order to leave to run off, i need to get myself a car, which is how i came into contact with almost peppa humanely. renzo at mercedes cars and says the brand is so popular here because the roads were demanding and used to be particularly bad. that the vivid mercedes fits perfectly with albanian roads it suitable for

we need to look at the history of albania, after world war 2 and a hodge, a rule, socialist albania, for 40 years, leading his people with an iron fist and isolating the country from his allies. he broke with his comrades and moscow, and dan would communist china after the death of german mouth. later, the increasingly paranoid dictator covered albania, with hundreds of thousands of bunkers. many people ended up in labor camps, and albanians suffered extreme poverty and hunger under his leadership. there is a lot of is to be in the car to say the least. i was it for years as of indian ish back in. it's an unusual feeling i'm endorsed. you know, when you know that you're sitting exactly where a former head of state, a dictator sat, that's a bit strange of corresponding. it's a dismay. this luxury car was not the only one used by whole just party and albania . they bought 7 mercedes benz at a time. all 280 s e l's plots. hodges 600. saddam i wonder if this car could be the very 1st mosquitoes in albania. i think you, i think this car is the 1st point of reference for albanians and the

. >> hodges is a former commanding general of the u.s. forces in europe and he outlined some of the considerations ukrainian military commanders have to take into account to pull off a successful counteroffensive in spring. >> thank you. my sense is that the ukrainian general staff has done a terrific job protecting information and conserving the forces that they are going to when they do inevitably launch this counteroffensive. i think the fighting was very costly but it also was necessary. the general staff could see that they were able to stop russian forces there, and to bleed them out and cause them to use a lot of resources without ukraine having to push its own armored forces in. that's what they are going to need when they launch their own counteroffensive which i would anticipate would be on a very narrow fronts, to achieve a decisive effect much like their previous journalist just reported, to break the land bridge between crimea and the rest of russia. crimea is the decisive terrain. you could kill every russian soldier within

it is obliged to if it wants victory in ukraine, says one of the best us military experts, general hodgesonvincing that the states have in their strategy of foreign policy to clearly write down and what is a victory for ukraine, we and you say as much as we need, not enough of what we want to achieve in this particular situation as only they will clearly say we want ukraine to win and this means the complete restoration of control over the entire sovereign territory then all the talk oh it will take a lot of time to study or oh we are not ready enough all this simply falls away whether it will happen or not at least in any case he considers it vitally necessary for ukraine, it is not just to organize a counteroffensive, but also to make it more comprehensive and large-scale, and this is his plan, it should be an all-encompassing company, not only tanks, which pioneer the way and the actions of the partisans and special forces, the second is the ukrainian aviation my friend gardiner himself, an excellent military analyst, calculated that ukraine so far carries out only about 10% of all sor

ben hodges, if he shares those concerns. first of all, the, the russian air force has not impress me for the last 14 months, even though they have huge numerical superiority. it's clear that they don't have the training or the, the ability to really achieve air superiority. this is something that the german air force, british royal air force, us air force. we would have done this in the 1st days of any conflict, especially with that kind of numerical superiority. the russians were not able to do that. so it's not just because of the brave and very competent, ukrainian air defense. it's because i don't think the russians really know how to do so. yes, of course there's a vulnerability if, if we're not able to help you crane get more munitions or more systems for their air and missile defense. but i think they will have already anticipated what those vulnerabilities are. and again, i think that there are other ways to, to prevent russia from exploring a vulnerability. and that really is about denying them the places from which

hi, general, a ban hodges, former commander of us forces in your thank you. thank you. take a look at some of the other stores making news around the world. now, a taiwan is present at sighing. when has arrived in the united states where she use meet with the republican, how speaker kevin mccarthy? media outside los angeles comes on. what's technically a stop over for the president with scheduled meeting as dormer threats of retaliation from china, which claims that self rules taiwan has its own. united nations as demanded the taliban immediately revoke its decision to bar women from working for the agencies regional mission. taliban authorities have said that women in afghanistan will no longer be allowed to work their un secretary general. and tony be cherished, describe the band as an unparalleled violation of women's rights and wielding a hatchet has killed at least 4 children at a kindergarten in southern brazil. least 5 others were seriously injured. authority say a 25, you know, scale the wall surrounding the preschool. in the city of lumina man laser turned hims

and our colleagues from the georgian service talked with another military expert, this is general hodges, who once commanded the american army in europe and he believes that yes , in relation to the deputies of the united states, it can have a serious effect, but in relation to the ukrainian counteroffensive, he believes that the effect can be minimal, let us listen to his opinion, it hurts when such things happen, because our relations with other countries spread intelligence of course is based on trust if other countries think we can't protect classified information they won't want to share it with them that's one of the aspects and of course no one wants your enemies learned about what you know about them because from this they can determine how we found out, on the other hand, i don't think that any specific ukrainian military plans were revealed, and frankly, a lot of this information was already available two or three months ago, so i i don't think it will hurt the future offensive of ukraine if they don't start it and i don't think frankly that the russians are smart enough to be

let's go through this with our band hodges. there's a former commanding general of us forces in europe are welcome to d. w general. as the world waits for this expected ukrainian counter offensive, that's you could talk us through what military planners need to consider to make such a counter offensive successful. well, thank you. my sense is that ukrainian general staff has done a terrific job protecting information and conserving the forces that they're going to need when they do inevitably launch this counter offensive. um, i think the finding around buck moot, that was very costly, but it also was necessary that the general staff could see that they were able to stop russian forces there and back moot and to believe them out and caused them to use a lot of resources without ukraine having to push its own armored forces into back mood, that's what they're going to need when they do launch their own counter offensive, which i would anticipate would be on a very narrow front to achieve it. a decisive effect, much like your pre

often ask about it i hear from american generals, for example, i had a conversation with general hodges, a retired general who says : why are you so attached to brands ? reports about the expected indictment of trump , which is already scheduled for april 4, is almost here and are there any forecasts of how this will affect his desire to run for office again? you know this very well too a good topic because this domestic political topic, this quarrel, this story around trump, it is for a certain time, well, it will be number one for america , it will be in all the headlines, there will be processes , mostly speaking. when they told the hollywood business show business that everything is pr except for the obituary. well, for trump , it is also a person who came out of show business. and all pr except for the obituary, by and large , even the court, even the indictment, he wants to use in order to simply gain more more points for your election campaign. so there were calls from one of the republican presidential candidates who said that maybe trump should withdraw his candidacy because of

the 3rd used a stolen riot shield to trap officer daniel hodges for more than 2 minutes, hodges was seenas disarmed and attacked by other rioters. this all happened as the mob began a heavy push in efforts to force their way through the lower west tunnel of the capitol building. the coffee was found guilty in september of 7 felonies and 2 misdemeanors regarding the assault. the department of justice is seeking 188 month sentence from a coffee. one of the longest for a january 6th rioter. so far, an assistant u.s. attorney calling his attack of the officer, particularly egregious compared to that of other rioters on trial. well, right now, officials in the u.s. are trying to find the source of an apparent highly classified intelligence leak. the justice department has launched an investigation into this leak. the documents appearing online over the weekend. they had details about the ukraine war among other information this morning, kremlin officials were asked about accusations that moscow was behind the leak. the kremlin responded. there was a tendency to blame russia for everything. so

we heard earlier from ella hodge a highlighting the diversions of central banks. let's take a listen. katie: there's a big puzzle -- >> there's a big puzzle when it comes to the central bank in the fed is taking a seriously. we have not seen the same from the bank of england. if it put a for message on it that they will get more serious and more hawkish, perhaps they are turning a corner but i would not stake my money on it. for us, guilds are short versus treasuries and on top of it all, when it comes to cars, we would say more of a steep buy for us. katie: talk to us about what you are seeing when it comes to trajectory of these different central banks and where that leads -- leaves you on the european debt market as well as the u.s. that market? cliff: last year, most of the central bank's were acting in consort. everyone was buying the curve and inflation is a global problem, not just u.s. problem, for several reasons which is why we think it will be sticky. if you look at europe, we have to not treat that as one location. you point out the u.k. has a real inf

the ex-commander of us troops in europe, ben hodges, throws phrases like that kiev by the end of augustit will come to the crimea. well, this is understandable, a propaganda hat is agitation, but about spring offensive and there’s no question, plus uh, there was a leak of documents from the pentagon, again the washington post writes, supposedly secret documents, because they were clearly allowed to leak, russian analysts have literally spelled everything out what, for example, the air defense system on itself without s is written and very strange numbers on the possibilities. kiev so maybe at the expense of the transfer of the counteroffensive. this is also misinformation, abandoned by the states so that we relax the cast. he passed the post, it happened intentionally for the eye, so to speak, that ukraine was precisely for reasons of absence ammunition does not come, but in fact. we do not allow a counter-offensive to be carried out on time or within the dates planned by the ukrainian side in order to smooth a and support the ukrainian side. in my opinion. this is one of the options an

after my times, the and energy expert announced al hodge e mailed over the ramifications of the ag sanctions against russia. he's a sneak peak of that interview, which you can watch in full here on our tea on saturday effect. and this is something you won't hear on that so called mainstream media in a donations that the people paying for putins war as they call it, are the european union countries that a sanctioning themselves and they are paying a general price. if you look at the spending that those governments made to kinda mitigate the impact of the energy crisis in billions of dollars. and if you look at it in term of living standards, i mean forgot shake people went back to, to would, and burning would. and remember all to talk about the showers and the hot showers and change the thermostat and all dashed out. the living standards basically went down. so it's not only the financial cost in the living standards to that play. they're all here. the other thing is that would be additional issue. people really? i mean, if you go to africa and the middle east, i heard this so many times in r
