WNU Editor: Former commander of US forces in Europe Ben Hodges is under-estimating Russia's military forces, and over-estimating Ukraine's army. And I completely disagree with his analysis that if the West provides arms for the next three to five years, Ukraine will win the war. Russia has far more manpower, firepower, and resources committed to this war, and fighting to the last Ukrainian soldier makes no sense to me.
Ben Hodges' support to provide Ukraine with fighter jets in a war zone that is heavily saturated with air defenses is also not going to change the dynamics in this conflict. There is also the problem on where does Ukraine land these jets. All of Ukraine's airfields have been bombed. If there are F-16s at any of these bases, it is a guarantee that these sites will be obliterated by Russian missiles within a day, if not sooner.
