Why is the Biden Administration not talking about winning the war in Ukraine?

ANSWER: I don' know, and neither does Ret. Lt. General Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of the U.S. Army in Europe, who thinks that the Biden Administration should be talking about winning the war in Ukraine and doing more to make sure that happens. The general says that the weapons the Biden Administration is sending to Ukraine is not enough, and he wonders what the objective of the United States is in Ukraine.

General Hodges:

I would say that I do not hear the Administration talking about "winning." I'm reluctant to say that the Administration doesn't want them to win, but what needs to be stated is what is our objective, the United States'. You know we are not just observers cheering for Ukraine here. This is about democracy across Europe and stopping an autocracy. And, of course, the Chinese are watching. So, there are implications well beyond Mariupol or even Kyiv. And so, if the United States were to say, "We want to win," that means all Russian forces back to pre-24-February, all Ukrainians who have been deported brought back home immediately, a long-term commitment to the full restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty--that means Crimea and Donbas. And then finally breaking the back of Russia's ability to project power outside of Russia: to threaten Georgia, to threaten Moldova, to threaten our Baltic allies.
