General Ben Hodges, the former commander of US forces in Europe, says this is the beginning of the end for Russia, and that the United States and the West must prepare for it, as the collapse of the USSR caught the world by surprise.
“I believe US military objectives in this conflict should include the ‘de-imperialization’ of Russia,” Ben Hodges wrote on Twitter.
“It seems to me that we are witnessing the beginning of the end of the Russian Federation as it looks today. We must be ready for this…we were not ready for the end of the USSR,” he added.
Ben Hodges’ tweet was in response to a statement by former US ambassador to NATO, Kurt Volker, who said that Russia’s “imperialist wars” against its neighbors did not start in Ukraine, but “happened” in Georgia, and “we cannot forget that.” Russia is still in Georgia.”
