🚀 According to #Whitaker, these weapons can cause "serious damage" anywhere and at any time.

💬"And some types of them could potentially be deployed to #Ukraine for use, so this could change the calculations", he repeated, essentially echoing what #Ben_Hodges said, and these words were spoken at a security conference in #Riga.

#Ben_Hodges added that "Until they [#Russians] get punched in the nose, until we make them stop, they will continue doing this. And it only gets worse until we act."

Former #US Army Commander in #Europe #Ben_Hodges:

"We should make it clear to the #Russians that anytime there's an accident like this [cable damage in #Baltic_Sea], we are going to impound the vessel that was involved And we should be doing the same thing with these ships... Russians should be worried about what we're doing instead of us always worrying about what they're doing."

The #Ukrainian Armed Forces offensive operation in the #Kursk region has shown that the red lines apparently no longer exist, a former #US Army Commander in Europe #Ben_Hodges suggests in an interview with #DW.

#Ben_Hodges recommended ignoring possible calls to stop + on #Russian refineries

According to the former commander of #US forces in Europe, attacks on #Russian oil refineries have a significant impact on Russia's ability to wage war.

As a result of these attacks, the aggressor country can pay less for this war. It also deprives it of the necessary fuel to continue hostilities.

“I would recommend ignoring calls for an end to such strikes,” #Hodges said at the #Kiev Security Forum.
