(Bring up more HIMARS) - 'Liberate Crimea, the decisive terrain, and watch Russian defenses collapse elsewhere.' - Ben Hodges

'Yes, "very difficult" if we don't provide long-range precision strike capability. The UKR Gen Staff is more creative than the Pentagon...pushing out all the Russians is a very linear approach. Liberate Crimea, the decisive terrain, and watch Russian defenses collapse elsewhere.'

- Ben Hodges (Source, April 2, 2023)



'Excellent by @juliaioffe. Only part with which I disagree is where you said nobody expects a decisive outcome from the Ukrainian counteroffensive. I do...UAF will penetrate Russian defenses, bring up more HIMARS, make Crimea untenable for Russian forces. Crimea is decisive.'

- Ben Hodges (Source, April 2, 2023)
