Top US general: What's at stake is greater than Ukraine
General Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discusses the stakes of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the wider global implications with CNN's Jim Sciutto.
Why Russia's Ukraine aggression matters to Americans
by Zachary B. Wolf
Nobody knows for sure exactly what Vladimir Putin is doing with around 100,000 Russian troops parked near the Russia-Ukraine border, but it's making the US and Europe extremely nervous.
President Joe Biden said this week he expected the Russians would "move in" and that a slight incursion would be met differently than a full-on invasion.
The US has spent the past few days cleaning up that remark and making clear any type of invasion is unacceptable.
Asked in Geneva by a reporter if he thought, like Biden, that an invasion was likely, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov used some interesting language.
"Unless the United States doesn't go to bed with Ukraine, I don't think so," Lavrov said.
What does it mean for countries to 'go to bed'? All of this high-stakes geopolitical chess, then, comes down to how intimate the US gets with Ukraine in the eyes of Russia.

General Mark Milley, thanks for your service. God bless.
Ya, bang-up job in Afghanistan....mo mo
God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
Is it just me but does Gen. Milley seem like a guy that you wouldn't want to piss off. Thank you Sir for your service to our great nation God bless you
Sir?? he shits the same colour as you and me. Noting sir about that.
He reminds me of a guy who would call China and tell them don't worry if we're going to strike I will call you first
I doubt he suffers fools gladly - including Trump
@@brandongopoop4997 😂😆😆😆 yes and trump is a tough guy you're just another traitor
He knew enough to not trust Trump with nukes.
Thank you General Milley for your strong and determined leadership in this most difficult and dangerous situation facing the entire globe.
Could this guy LOOK any more like a general? I mean he should be playing a general in every movie that calls for a general

Generally speaking 🤣
He is a woke loser
This man relinquished 80+ billion in military equipment to the Taliban. He needs to be court marshalled. Rank and all military entitlements removed and sent to Leavenworth. A general he is not. His legacy will be as is biden's. He hasn't even enough honer to step down and apologize for his incompetence. many will die by what we can only describe as friendly fire. who among us who have fought or are now fighting for our country or others call such a man,. our leader. Today we have not this so called general, not do we have a commander on chief. What we do have are Fearless NCO'S, OFFICERS and ENLISTED that honor their country, constitution, people, and above all, Their GOD. AMEN!
That's why he is a 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ GENERAL, when he talks, he makes sense..😎🙌🙏😇🌎🇺🇸❤️💯
and to Think Trump said he is a F'n Moron,, General Milley as well as Mathis runs circles around that Clown
Oh man, we're in trouble.
He wouldn't comment on American Media repeating Russian propaganda - avoided that pretty slickly.
ANY ONE FOUND Saddam's WMD YET?
@@TheBrownEqualizer no he wasn’t there only been two 5 stars
As a South Korean, I understand the importance of the supports that the international communities provide for Ukraine. South Korea once was invaded and the saved by the UN. It was absolutely worthwhile. Having said that I am disappointed that South Korea has not stepped up its support. The country has a lot of weapons Ukraine could use, such as Self propelled howitzers... If Ukraine falls, we will see more aggression not only from Russia but also other countries such as China and North Korea.
I appreciate the sentiment for wishing to provide military support to Ukraine--but as a U.S ROK tour vet I feel that your military assets are already well used in deterrence to maintain peace and stability in East Asia. The situation is always tense and I would not want the ROK to be perceived as in a moment of weakness due to military equipment transfer. Best of wishes from Gunsan!
It's playing with fire for WWIII to assert hegemony.
@@Lovecalmiester ruzzia is in a really weak state at the moment and nobody has taken that opportunity yet. Moldova, Georgia, Armenia... There are a lot of countries that could, but they don't. They all have their reasons, and I'm certain other countries would also see good reasons not to toy with South Korea when they send a small chunk of their equipment this way.
You are just a US colony under military occupation.
S. Korea has T-80 tanks the Ukrainian could use. They got them as a payoff of some Russian debt some years back. Look it up it is not classified!
Fully agreed General ! 👍
I'm a late 'Nam era Vet who served near the Czech border before The Wall fell. (Army ATC for border recon 'Copters.) I have come to have great respect for and confidence in Gen. Milley. Insert salute here.
America have had a bad press regarding there foreign affairs over the years but where would we be without them .as a brit ,I thank them for standing up to evil .
Middle east would for sure be in a better place
They have had centuries to be in a “better place”
@@myfairlady343 we tried and failed. Iraq is better off without an evil dictator though. In Afghanistan it’s too bad that the people didn’t work with us and they would of had a better life. We built many schools and attempted to help make them more secure. We haven’t been perfect but I’m sick and tired of people comparing conflicts the US and NATO have had to what Russia is doing now. It’s definitely not the same. We went into Iraq during the Persian gulf war because Sadaam Hussein invaded Kuwait. 2003 we went in because Sadaam failed to comply with weapons inspectors. Putin is paranoid and attacked a sovereign nation for no reason.
America did make the freedom we are living in today
We’ll said, a lot people seem to think America are the bad guys, the world would be a very different worse of place without them.
this is exactly how I imagined the Top US general would look like
same :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍
😁 yes, he looks almost steriotypical in his aperance.
This guy lost a war to guerrillas wearing sandals (again) embarrassing the US military in the eyes of the world and showing a weakness who emboldened Putin to invade Ukraine. Washington, Grant, Pershing, Eisenhower, Patton and MacArthur are turning in their graves.
Same. :)
I love this guy, he's got no bullshit about him, and you can tell he's a decent person. Really bright too.
Really he is a woke moron and believes he is a racist reading CRT lmao 😂 he is a joke & demise of our military
How can you tell he's a decent person? One interview? Are you kidding?
This is the General involved in the withdrawal of Afghanistan, leaving behind Americans, $83 Billion dollar Air Force to the enemy, the Taliban. He supports a Woke Military. Supports Critical Race Theory. Blames whites for Racism. ????? Does he sound good to you?
@@carlosacta8726 how about his life's work?

General Milley is a patriot fighting for democracy, what a difference a leader makes, Biden brought this together, no matter what republicans think, he has the respect of Nato leaders, they're not laughing AT him like they did with the former guy.
Wtf is that a joke? He should have been charged with treason.
Spending Millions Of Dollars Of Taxpayers Money! The Ex Comedian Leading Ukraine Must Be Laughing All The Way To His Bank!
Amen, Biden is respected. Experience, compassion, our democracy with our president Biden is much safer now
My heart is peaceful with our good President and cabinet. Once the dirtbag mafia are disposed of, I'll be less fearful for my grandkids' future.
@@lolodee3528 I don't think republicans care that world leaders would come together out of respect for Biden, he has earned the honor, he created this united front to stand against a genocidal maniac, this was no small feat, it's almost as hard as planning a coup & causing a deadly insurrection based on lies.
Thank heavens for the US commitment to Western security.
Just like Putins commitment to Russia security.

Giving Interviews To CNN Is Hard Work? That Is What Taxpayers Pay Him To Do?
What this General has stated is reckless and dangerous!!! The current "regional conflict" in the Ukraine, does NOT threaten the "whole of Europe".??. *unless the West further* *prevokes Russia, while* *escalating "tensions!"* Prior to the invasion, Putin asked for an "assurance" from U.S. & NATO, that the Ukraine would NOT join the "NATO Alliance" in order to prevent Ukraine from receiving NATO protection & the placement of "Nuclear Missiles" on Russia's doorstep! Putin stated emphatically, he would never tolerate that eventuality under any condition. The build-up of this tense situation between Russia and The Ukraine has been fomenting for year's.. but we are now witnessing the horrible consequence, of a foreign affairs "policy failure" on the part of the West (along with the Ukraine) to broker any "agreement" that could have staved off a "Russian invasion." Sadly, the West/U.S. only "placated" Putin, underestimating his threat to invade. Hence, Putin accused The West of dragging him into endless negotiations, in an attempt to "pacify" him, which prompted him to invade. The Ukraine is *NOT* a part of NATO.. nor are they a part of U.S. "territorial sovereignty" If the General believed Russia was TRULY a threat to the "international security" of our European allies, then why hasn't The U.S. and NATO sent military boots on the ground in Ukrain? So, instead, they've opted to send weapons to arm the Ukraine?? ..which also is "*dangerous*" and may lead to a prolonged conflict, as more people will be injured/die and be displaced, while fleeing to Poland and Slovakia..etc The decision to send military hardware and weapons, is looked upon by Putin as an aggressive action on the part of the West & a declaration of war, hence, the effect is the same! *This will fuel TENSIONS* THAT COULD ESCALATE THE CRISIS...WHILE MORE HEATED RHETORIC BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE U.S. ALONG W/MORE ABSURD RUSSIAN SANCTIONS WILL ULTIMATELY HURT THE U.S. ECONOMY MORE THAN RUSSIA, AND POTENTIALLY, LEAD TO MORE DIRECT, MILITARY INTERVENTION ON THE PART OF THE WEST.. TRIGGERING AN EXPANSION OF THIS CONFLICT, INVOLVING THE WEST & NATO.. LEADING TO A GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR! OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY PROVEN HOW INCOMPETENT AND FOOLISH THEY ARE AFTER THE DISASTROUS AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL & DEBACLE AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS! Putin's warnings, along with Russia's advanced: *"SATAN 2 Hypersonic* *Nuclear Missiles,"* which can evade U.S. defense systems, are credible threats to the West, rapidly moving closer to an Apocalyptic Global conflict w/tragic consequences!
I agree with the General. Now is the time. Putin has gone too far and as long as he's not stopped he'll continue on with other Countries
Весь мир должен остановить америку. Она должна убраться прочь с Украины. Своим оружием пусть убивает своих граждан. Украине нужен мир!
And make putin pay with his ill gotten gains... Have him sweep the streets and move the rubble in leg irons for the rest of his pathetic life.
Putin acts like USA. Keeping traditions.
I think we should lecture America first. Russia has a valid reason to take over UKRAINIAN government which was already in control by the US Government. Russia has every right to liberate UKRAINE from the west , Because it serve a purpose for its own security interest too.
@@thewisemen8504 lmfao the west didnt invade and kill tens of thousands of ukrainians to 'liberate' them. Ukraine chose to side with the west as any country in the world should have the right to. Russia will feel the consequences of its actions for decades.
Man you know a General when you see one. I still wouldn't want to get him pissed in a parking lot . TY sir.
I've gained so much respect for these two leaders. Gen Miley and Secretary Austun have risen to the challenge! Putuns invasion of Ukraine is a crime. We are standing with Ukraine. 🇺🇸💪🇺🇦💪❤️🙏
That is the most general looking general I've ever seen.
Especially walking with tRump to the church.
Yeah he is that stereotypical definition uh? ;-) He could really star in any movie and make a credible actor.
It's all in the eyebrows brother, all in the eyebrows.
@@wadestanton At least he had the grace to regret that
He is a teacher of military doctrines. Knows his broad concepts and stuff. Calm and composed.
Thank you, General Milley! It is a pleasure to hear you speak - clear speech, sober analysis, straight answers. I am proud to live in a country that has a military leader like you.
Why do they keep saying UNPROVOKED?? When they know Russia was provoked???????
He didn't quite answer the question about nuclear threat of Putin...
@@allfacts8496 you live in an entirely different world than most. That’s why.
@@allfacts8496 Well I might "provoke" a guy at the bar by calling him stupid, but that does not "justify" him shooting me to death. Some people are too easily provoked, or pretend to be.
@@johnloosemore9949 if you try to surround my country with NATO what was he supposed to do?????
If Russia should be punished, maybe the same rule should be applied for all countries for what they did or do? Otherwise it's a double standard
@Conrad Wolf How about Iraq, Syria? )) Or these were good invasions?
Yeah there are so many other wars that have been ignored by the world powers. Genocide and the like. Seems the only reason the powers are up in arms are because financial issues for the west are coming into play. Gas and oil ..... seems its all about money really. 💰
Thank you Jane for being a sensible normal human being, just sincere and calling a spade a spade.That or this America general just look at his face( pure big evil)And he will end up exactly like dick Cheney Rumsfied MadelineAlbright Reagan and Bush sr.Cnn cable news nonsense CNN.Please the reporters journalist producers all of you will end up exactly like them.The world is not America Britain France only.Shame on you guys including BBC( bias broadcasting corporation) .I know am beeing monited.But I don't give a derm.They can block me.Is better to speak the thruth and die than lie and suffer.Peace

Thanks General Milley Sir USA.Slava Ukraine.
Excellent. ☆☆☆☆☆
It's mind-boggling that there's a distinct change that "Ukraine could win". Russia has been perceived as the biggest, baddest, strongest military power in the world, second only to the US. Many people hadn't even _heard_ of Ukraine until two months ago. If Russia loses to Ukraine, they plummet in the "rankings" so to speak, to the status of say, Paraguay or Laos. If that happens, all of Russia will turn on him and he won't survive. He can't afford to lose, so he'll throw literally every single last soldier at Ukraine to "zerg-rush" it no matter the cost. 🤦
Dont kid yourself. Ukraine had a military. Those countries do not.
There is zero chance Ukraine wins. The only question is how many Ukrainians die before fat Milley is satisfied that the military industrial complex made enough money for the year.
There's also the possibility of Russia turning into another North Korea, locking its borders, keeping its people in poverty while a relatively small group of elites lives in luxury, regularly taunting the free world with its nuclear weapons.
Enter nuclear weapons
@@woodpigeon2862 it may happen shortly before May 9th, when Putin feels he is still empty handed.
General Milley's ever steadfast assessment is the gold standard of US Military excellence. The man could calm crying babies just by walking into the room.
I agree.hes an honourable man
I sometimes feel lost in politics because sometimes they do something so stupid and people defend it as if it was good but then it turns out it was done on purpose as part of a much bugger plot and we are only shown what they want us to see. I saw a video of this general being an absolute idiot but then other times he speaks and he’s exactly spot on.

I have much respect for General Milley!!!!! HE TOWED THE LINE WHEN HE COULD'VE and ALMOST RESIGNED due to Trump BUT...REALIZED that IT WAS MORE IMPORTANT FOR HIM TO STAY!!!!!!!!! AND...the work he is doing & how they are supporting the Ukraine.
This is our top general? We’re worse off than I thought.
I am a former mil research analyst ... officer ... special agent ... covert operative ... on the Security Team for the Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence ... Milley is my kinda General ... the way they taught me ... God Bless America ... Glory to Ukraine ... and God bless the generals of America and Ukraine ... the battle lines between good and evil never so clearly defined ...
First of all, thanks for your service. This country is blessed to have Gen. Milley. God bless the US.
Good! I love your stance in this at a time when there's so many crazy conspiracies going around.. I personally was appalled at the way Trump treated General Mille.I hope Trump never gets his greedy hands on anything of worth.. And Putin needs to be excecuted.. but first and foremost is to save the people trapped and suffering..not only in Ukraine...but Russia as well.
Yea and I have a 19 inch ding dong!
Terrorist in the guise of a government employee. God curse you, killer.
Milley authorized a strike that ended in the loss of many kids and called it a righteous strike.
Finally the people are being told how serious this is and what’s at stake and what the costs are.
Gosh yes but only waking up now. lots of lives could already have been saved. Still better late than never
Yeah America The World' Police Got The Call! Things Matter When Sleepy Joe Gets Woken Up!
You mean like when the Democrats/fake news CNN made fun of Mitt Romney in 2012 debates stating Russia is the biggest threat to world peace?
have you been asleep for the last 2 months
What is being said in this video has been said many times over the past 2 months. Nothing new here.
Thank you General Milley!
Antonio Guterres did not say a word about the fact that it was the United States that bombed Japanese cities with nuclear weapons. But He mentioned Russia for some reason. He's either a fool or a scoundrel.

Hahah saving the world from what?
@@austingiguere938 Bullies
saving the world ?!? ok i understand know how we get here !
As an American, I think the lesson this war and the US' response has taught us is that our role as the leader of the free world is as important as ever. Obviously, there are legitimate complaints about US imperialism, but 30 years of relative peace had lulled many countries into questioning their need for us. Now that our rivals (Russia and China) have shown who they really are, the US is looking pretty attractive as a partner again (if you like freedom)
I worry for you at the next election.😬
When the US go home and doesn't turn around when called this gives Russia and China their opportunity to step in and try their way. Either way I know that the US will not interfere upfront, but the task will be given to the CIA. Every single action will be in secrecy from the current stances that the US has taken.
I agree but un the other way, I'm european and I've always considered USA necessary for world peace, but I was worried that the USA was going to pull out from the world stage (mainly because of Trump), glad it didn't
As long as Genmany France would feed right country not mafia.
But Trump damaged our reputation by making us an unreliable ally. If we cannot defeat him or whomever the Republicans stand up in 2024, you may see Russia getting away with just about whatever they please. Scary times.
How come I never see anything that remotely resembles a war
Every time I see General Mark Milley, I'm like _"You don't want to mess with this man ... "_

Thank god for Gen Milley. A man of principal and honour. We need more of his ilk to hold the line against enemies without and within alike.
Why?
The guys a political hack not a general- probably one of the last guys I’d trust to keep North America safe
Should not be there
He is a skilled and competent leader, I think he serves the nation well. Our military must remain apolitical and it seems some want it to be an arm of their party and that’s unacceptable. The fact that so many retired defense officials came out against trump was extraordinary. Not hyperbolically extraordinary but literally so.
He's a good general so is ground commander Frank McKenzie! Also general Austin. I liked General Powell the best though. Very tough and smart man.
A message to the World. I lost my home and everything have ever worked for, to an apocalyptic wild fire in 2019... The only thing i could look at that was not burned from my eyes to the horizon in every direction was my ripped shirt and old shorts. I know the feel of your hair curling from heat and the blast of hot air before the flames touch your flesh and wraps its self around your body like a soft scarf being pulled by the wind. I couldn't afford to build my home again but i love going back to my once charcoal covered mountain where my hand built home towered above hidden gorges, to sit and enjoy a new kind of peace that surrounds me. I would like to share my empathy for the millions of families who have lost their homes or been smothered by flames from months of Russia's missiles and bombs. I hope from the suffering one man has caused you, it gives you the strength to create new beginnings. When i look at the list of consulting countries who have come together to try to help end the ruthless outcome of war, it reminds me there is friendship and help in every corner of my beautiful blue planet.

Sounds quite familiar....its sure been a rough patch since then on my area. Still a bit numb from last years but we each face our own challenges just in different forms... I can't imagine what they are going through but losing your home is something that once you know, you don't wish upon anyone. Kinda takes a piece of you, but I pray that they find a place to call home once again!
GET ALLISON AWAY FROM THAT GUY.
That's some hard hitting reporting there, definitely holding the government to account and not just asking softball questions without any challenge, no matter how crazy the answer. The bit about how international security order will crumble if a larger country is allowed to fight a smaller country... priceless. 8D As US is currently fighting several smaller countries, just barely pulled out of Afghanistan and is getting ready to go into Haiti. I applaud the general on being able to say that with a straight face, though I am not exactly sure he is capable of facial expressions. Our media is basically a military mouthpiece at this point.

I understand that by "International order' he really means "United States of American international order"...but if I gotta choose an empire under who's thumb I live, I'll choose the US led one over the Russian or Chinese any day. I'd rather not make that choice, though.
I’ve recently thought about that as well. Even though the US isn’t liked very much in many countries, if they’re suddenly “gone” everyone will notice just how much they actually needed the US to be the global leader
Bingo. Better the devil you know. The US screws a lot of things up and ruin a lot of countries but they always answer the call and deliver. If it weren't for them, Ukraine would be in Russian hands by now. The amount of arms and money they can keep pouring into this is a game changer.
We've made some horrible mistakes, but there are far worse options out there. Look at China right now. Their people are locked down in Shanghai and other cities like they live in a virtual police state. That would never happen in the United States.
Maybe, just maybe, YOU are the problem. Think about it.

The main point is don't make de-nazification a major justification of your invasion if you have said nazi's doing the invading for you. We all see through you.

@@AstroGremlinAmerican There is no dodging it. There was a 2019 RAND study that said that a war in Ukraine is one of the preferred ways to weaker Russia. That was goal #1 for arming Ukraine well before this war starting out.
@@zeerocool Russia has been at war with Ukraine in the Donbas since 2014.
Hes General Joke. Patton would slap him right in the FACE!
They also said Afghanistan wouldn’t fall to the taliban…..
In such conflicts, you can't throw everything material at it with little to no training of its users. Logistic resupply has to be a step by step tactic so as not to waste this, or worse, let it land in the wrong hands.
We (Ukrainians) are very grateful to USA and UK for the great support of Ukraine, especially for heavy weapons!!! 🤝
We are all praying for the people of Ukraine. God bless you and I hope the war ends soon.
We can really see who is the leader in Europe and it’s not Germany or France.
Whoa slow down...you want too add Canada too your list....who do you think trained your troops....whys Russia having a hard time easy...Canadians are the best at urbanized warfare...not to mention the weapons and billions in aid...plus the peace keepers in poland helping refugees...nice too thank the u.s.a for thier weapons but thier mouths are making it worse.....Canadians make a difference for good everywhere we go....or WE (Canadians) can stop.
God bless Ukraine.
God bless Ukraine
Brilliant analysis by General Mark Milley, well done CNN.
cnn is the best just not as good a cnn+
What is this CNN+? Can I look it up on Twitter?
Well done CNN you should have just showed your crank on Zoom before you cut the video out like the other CNN anchors

Relentless ariel bombardment and Artillery shelling on residential areas appartments and buildings killing thousands of innocent civilians including women and children and making millions of Ukrainian people "home less" is the only strategy of the invading forces. Ukrainian people are defending their territory Sovereignty and dignity with valour. The whole world is with Ukrainian people. Stay strong Ukraine. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Yes, glory to Ukraine. The world is finally listening to what you have been saying for the last few months.
"The WHOLE WORLD? CHINA & INDIA?
Yes they are and NATO should be with them, do you really think it will make any difference to pukin and it's lot? they will press the button as and when the mood takes them, THEY DON'T CARE! when it throws it's toys out of it's pram then bye bye world, that is what we're up against, there is no reasoning with psycho's and pukin & Co certainly are psycho's! Why do they think we want russia? for what? we have enough of our own shit to deal with, if we could build a huge wall around russia and they were never to be heard again, wow wouldn't that be something?

Nothing but diversity hires and transgender warriors.
As a Marine Veteran I would like to thank you Gen. Milley for your service to the United States and the World at large. Semper Fidelis.
He's also an expert on male rage and very woke about it.
How horrible war is.
The Russian people have the choice to either save their country from Putin or lose everything.
Not only is he a general, he’s also a very well spoken and intelligent individual
Yes i found that too
Bet, Russian soldiers would love to have that level of concise speech and logic in their command structure...😏
I'm not being sarcastic but I hope he bloody well is! after all he is a General! Lets hope it's only the russians who have assholes for Generals.
Our military is sound and we have a lot of officers like Milley.

I salute you Sir and appreciate your service.

God bless all troops and people fighting to defend or protect people in this conflict, and conflicts all over the world
Strength in Unity
Keep drinking the KoolAid. Otherwise you might wake up
Prayer is better than bullets and bombs. Beckon to the creator of peace, the creator of hearts and souls.
Prayer.. Is the only answer to avert an impending disaster...Though honestly, what this General has stated is reckless and dangerous!!! The current "regional conflict" in the Ukraine, does NOT threaten the "whole of Europe".??. *unless the West further* *prevokes Russia, while* *escalating "tensions!"* Prior to the invasion, Putin asked for an "assurance" from U.S. & NATO, that the Ukraine would *NOT* join the "NATO Alliance" in order to prevent Ukraine from receiving NATO protection & the placement of "Nuclear Missiles" on Russia's doorstep! Putin stated emphatically, he would never tolerate that eventuality under any condition. The build-up of this tense situation between Russia and The Ukraine has been fomenting for year's.. but we are now witnessing the horrible consequence, of a foreign affairs "policy failure" on the part of the West (along with the Ukraine) to broker any "agreement" that could have staved off a "Russian invasion." Sadly, the West/U.S. only "placated" Putin, underestimating his threat to invade. Hence, Putin accused The West of dragging him into endless negotiations, in an attempt to "pacify" him, which prompted him to invade. The Ukraine is *NOT* a part of NATO.. nor are they a part of U.S. "territorial sovereignty" If the General believed Russia was TRULY a threat to the "international security" of our European allies, then why hasn't The U.S. and NATO sent military boots on the ground in Ukrain? So, instead, they've opted to send weapons to arm the Ukraine?? ..which also is "*dangerous*" and may lead to a prolonged conflict, as more people will be injured/die and be displaced, while fleeing to Poland and Slovakia..etc The decision to send military hardware and weapons, is looked upon by Putin as an aggressive action on the part of the West & a declaration of war, hence, the effect is the same! *This will fuel TENSIONS* THAT COULD ESCALATE THE CRISIS...WHILE MORE HEATED RHETORIC BETWEEN RUSSIA AND THE U.S. ALONG W/MORE ABSURD RUSSIAN SANCTIONS WILL ULTIMATELY HURT THE U.S. ECONOMY MORE THAN RUSSIA, AND POTENTIALLY, LEAD TO MORE DIRECT, MILITARY INTERVENTION ON THE PART OF THE WEST.. TRIGGERING AN EXPANSION OF THIS CONFLICT, INVOLVING THE WEST & NATO.. LEADING TO A GLOBAL NUCLEAR WAR! OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ALREADY PROVEN HOW INCOMPETENT AND FOOLISH THEY ARE AFTER THE DISASTROUS AFGHANISTAN WITHDRAWAL & DEBACLE AND CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO MAKE WISE DECISIONS! Putin's warnings, along with Russia's advanced: *"SATAN 2 Hypersonic* *Nuclear Missiles,"* which can evade U.S. defense systems, are credible threats to the West, that is moving closer to an Apocalyptic Global conflict w/tragic consequences
God blesses killers?
It's true what Milley said about If this goes unpunished, it will increase instability on this planet; that can never be good. It's like North Korea's, bad options, and worse options.
How many punishment have we Americans gotten so far? Iraq ever come to mind? Libya? I understand the shoe is in the other foot now but there can only be one standard.
America is 10 times worst than Russia. I can’t believe US thinks they are clean.😳😳😳
@@roubycerisier4949 Iraq and all those situations included terrorists and all kinds of bad shit… Ukraine is a developed country who never would’ve attacked or done anything to Russia and neither would NATO. Putin just used it as an excuse to invade
How about Afghanistan, Libia, Syria, Yemen, and Iraq? Killing more than half million civilians
@@alexv1190 so you find an excuse for killing more than half million civilians? It's that easy !
Yes very much Yes sir what you said it's the desire of our heart God bless Ukraine and fulfill the desires every one of us
I as a citizen of Czech Republic belive we should not do the gun deliveries to Ukraine. We can not help to a non NATO country since we clearly realize, that we are threatening our very existence while doing so! We are in NATO to be safer, not to spark a nuclear war!!!!
Now that we are in wartime, I would say the entire world is in wartime, I can see why a lot of people find comfort in military people. When the present and future are unknown the way military thinks and communicate is very straight and clear, and people in uncertain times like that.
Pootin in his mind is fighting WWIII.
We've been in times of war since forever. There are over 20 wars going on for nearly a decade. But it's in regions where people don't really care
Lmfao. Civilians bash us during peacetime but hide behind us during war. How convenient for them.
So in your mind you think America is at war right now?
@@vincentsavoca5575 NO, the people that bash you in peacetime usually hate war and hate soldiers. That's just wishful thinking on your part mate.
Russia is a paper bear. 🤣
History has proven that the Russian military is only good at one thing and one thing only.....committing WarCrimes.
The Russian military is a direct reflection of Russia as a whole. It's a corrupt country ripe with looting, plundering, nepotism, cruelty, lies, and brutality. And the country is a direct reflection of it's dictator.
Those nuclear missiles are not paper you guys are running around here thinking that Russia is Iraq or Iran or something in that they do not carry a serious threat to us.

I wondered what happened to Roger Ramjet . . .
This guy looks like I imagined an american general should look like

He looks like any us general in movies, shows or games like stereotypical.
This guy looks like someone who would calls china, and tell them before we strike in the event of War also someone who needs serious anger management for that white rage
He looks kinda like the retired general in "White Christmas" :)
America is not a race we have all races in the world here people white in color come from Germany France America is the land of the free and the home the brave but ego will leave anybody blind
Luckily for all of us, Putin didn’t just import the brutality of the Soviet Union, he also imported its incompetence.
Blind and brainless
The world now see how the Russian military are a bunch of untrained muppets led by the ultimate modern day moron hitler in Moscow. I’m praying the Russian military gets their asses handed to them by other nations.
Truth is painfully bitter most times. I believe the end product of the war is the emergence of China as the next World power, but her leadership would very brutal

Thank you General Mulley for speaking the truth and not being soft on what needs to be done to shut down putin.
He didnt say anything useful...
@@dustinclark8186 What would you consider "useful" Dustin?
Lets go maybe. Gary owen what u suggest?
Dustin Clark, No U.S. troops on the ground in direct combat with Russian forces. I'm sure much is being done by DOD, State and intelligence agencies behind the scenes. I hope we are inviting friends of Ukraine to cease ALL import of gas/oil from Russia and are preparing to make up shortfalls in supply. And I hope we're massively training Ukranian men and women who wish to fight. And I hope we're providing airlift for food, fuel, medicines and weapons to Polish and other bordering countries such that they can get where needed quickly.
Russia should study the long list of supporters for 🇺🇦 ukraine. There's their answer staring right at them.
That list includes a lot of heavy hitters.
Putin don't care. He's protecting his country from Nazi, racist people. Go Putin!

What is at stake is peace and nothing else !
When people start worrying about nuclear war, remember that it was Gen. Mark Milley, in the days before January 6, that ordered his staff there be no action regarding nuclear arms without first consulting with him. He then walked around the room and stood before each officer and repeated the order and asked if it's understood. Milley did this in case a politician tried to upset the transfer of power prior to January 6. I bet Russia has military officers that know defending their country means NOT to use nuclear weapons over a war initiated by a dictator for personal glory.
Hopefully
We are so fortunate to have generals like General Milley

So you’ve been told by idiots at CNN and children on social media…
Xi Jinping agrees
The saddest thing about this is knowing that both most Russian people and most people of Ukraine want nothing to do with this. It's just the government systems. 🙏🏽 😣 🙏🏽
Not entirely correct. The Ukrainians are fighting for their home. No one including the leaders in Ukraine wanted this. This is Putin’s war. I agree that most Russians would prefer that their country didn’t go to war.
FAther agreed you did nail this situation correctly ^5 Both peoples want peace only the govments want war There is a 60s song.. "come and sing a simple song of freedom. "kzhead.info/sun/pqVsc8dtZIanma8/bejne.html
I think it is just ONE government system at fault. Ukraine is only defending itself, and the people of Ukraine are the foundation of that.
Those people in Bucha, Mariupol etc. were not killed by Putin, Lavrov or Shoigu. It were Russian soldiers who pulled the trigger. It is not just Putins war, it's Russias war.
I have watched videos and spoken to Russians online and a lot agree with what's going on . Granted they dont have the full picture, but it's been disturbing to say the least
this is exactly how i picture an american general in my mind, i find the german flag in the background funny ( the fat cigar is missing ) 🤭
Dreaming!!!!
I love how the General speaks clearly and concisely unlike every politician.
That's because he's briefed on the questions that's going to posed to him. The advantage I have you don't, is that I've served. Therefore, I know the protocols for a press interview.

"This is an unprovoked war of aggression" True.. but.. "General Milley’s operational deployments include the Multi-National Force and Observers, Sinai, Egypt; Operation Just Cause, Panama; Operation Uphold Democracy, Haiti; Operation Joint Endeavor, Bosnia-Herzegovina; Operation Iraqi Freedom, Iraq; and three tours during Operation Enduring Freedom, Afghanistan. He also deployed to Somalia and Colombia."
yea what about whataboutism huh? Any news?
Nah, i would say this was a provoked act by Kiev. Zelensky really wanted to make peace but his own regime would kill him as would our regime. so, instead, his forces continued to shell the Donbass killing 14,000 of his own people and moving toward allowing NATO into their country that was a red line for Moscow.
