    "Supply issues for Ukraine have been much discussed but do you think there is a real issue for Russia as well at the moment" Of course, why do you think Russia went to Iran for drones and North Korea for shells? The question is who is going to give them tanks when they run out of usable Soviet reserves in 2-3 years and have to rely on new production?

  • Our dithering self restraint under President Biden is embarrassing, but not nearly as bad as the actions of Putin’s pal Trump, or the statements and lies of JD Vance and MAGA.

    I always enjoy listening to the General. Good interview, thank you.
  • Crimea is Ukranian territory so there is NO restriction on weapons use on Ukrainian territory!
