GENERAL BEN HODGES: PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL – ISOLATE CRIMEA NOW! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🚀

The legendary former commander of US Army Europe, General Ben Hodges, isn’t holding back. His message to Western leaders is loud and clear: Stop telling Ukraine to slow down—now is the exact moment to accelerate!

Hodges points out that Crimea is in deep, systemic trouble right now. Ukrainian forces are closing in on the capability to completely isolate the peninsula, which would render all Russian military assets there totally unsustainable. At the same time, he stresses that the West has a prime opportunity to inflict devastating, permanent damage on Russia’s oil and gas export industry.

“Do not take your foot off the gas pedal. Now is the time for the West to push the pedal straight to the floor,” the general warns. It’s time to let Ukraine finish the job and shatter Russia’s logistical spine once and for all! 🍿💥
