EPS 75: Discussing the war in Ukraine with former NATO commander and USAF General Phil Breedlove

Down to Earth with Terry Virts

Retired NATO commander and US Air Force General Breedlove joins me today as we focus on the Ukraine war and the difference between how Russia and the West wage war. “Combined force and joint warfare are used by NATO, but the Russians still fight in a crude way,” says Breedlove, “in an attrition-based, demonstrative way.” “Russians came into the war in a disassociated, disconnected network,” says Breedlove. We talk through tactics, the progression of the war, weapons, sanctions, and how Russia has regrouped and attacked in the wake of the recent events. Breedlove talks us through how he believes, in his expert opinion, Ukraine can withstand the invasion, “if the west continues to supply Ukraine in the way they deserve” they have a very clear path to victory. An eye-opening, and very interesting discussion over the invasion, and a great perspective on the events from a NATO and Air Force expert, thank you so much for joining us, Phil. https://terryvirts.com/ Twitter: @AstroTerry Instagram: astro_terry
