Hot Question of the Day #15
What manner of madness would drive a man to ask Ukraine to launch attack on a parade in Moscow where the leaders of Russia, China, Brazil, and many other have gathered to celebrate the victory over Nazism 80 years ago?
The most shocking thing is that the person who gave the advice is not only a retired four-star General of the US Army but was also, until recently, the Chair of NATO’s Strategic Studies,?GeneralBen Hodges!
I don't pretend to be a military specialist or analyst, but what tactical, forget about strategic, advantage could Ukraine possibly gain from such reckless misadventure that would make a man of General Hodges recommend it?
One can only imagine the horror that would be visited on Ukraine were it to harm the president of Russia. I do not think the Chinese will be pleased to see Zelensky kill their president.
Given these considerations, why did the American General give the advice?
For a man who touted “International Security” among his specialties, what does the General imagine the world would look like if the Ukrainians followed his reckless advice?

Here are General Hodge’s credentials copied from the internet: Ben Hodges is a retired United States Army officer who became the commander of United States Army Europe in November 2014 and held that position for three years until retiring from the United States Army in January 2018. Until recently, he was the Pershing Chair in Strategic Studies at the Centre for European Policy Analysis, specialising in NATO, the Transatlantic relationship, and international security.
