  1. Having served under LTG Ben Hodges command and listened to him for over a year now, LTG Ben Hodges puts its head in the sand to avoid the "cruel joke" in the room-Joe Biden. Contrary to what Ben Hodges believes, President Biden is not committed to Ukraine's victory in this war. For two years, General Hodges wisely said Biden must state that America's policy is Ukraine's victory in this war, explain how to accomplish this outcome and why it is important to the American people. For two years, Biden has not. Instead Biden offered President Zelensky a flight out of Ukraine, denied critical aid for months and even years, blocked Poland sending them Migs and defeated the the Republican led US House bill with $61 billion in new aid for Ukraine last December. Why would the west ever think we are in a war with Russia that we must win when the Leader of the Free World does not?

  2. Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO Secretary General, wisely wrote in the Wall Street Journal about FDR's ramping up to win: The West Needs a War Footing FDR enlisted William S. Knudsen in 1940 to ramp weapons production up. As Russia continues pounding Ukraine, it’s time to do it again. In the White House, President Franklin D. Roosevelt recognized that the U.S. urgently needed to ramp up military production and put the economy on a war footing. William S. Knudsen was CEO of General Motors, a man with vast experience in the automobile industry and one of the best-paid business leaders in the U.S. Roosevelt tasked him with transforming America’s industrial production, making it the arsenal of democracy. Knudsen recognized that speed was crucial. In meetings with company and union leaders, he applied maximum pressure to ramp up production. His message was clear: “We need every machine running at full speed. We must outproduce Hitler.” Within five months, Knudsen had signed 920 contracts with some 500 companies. Nothing in Biden's budget nor words demonstrate, Ukraine must win.
