Welcome to The World in 10.
In an increasingly uncertain world, this is The Times' daily podcast dedicated to global security.
I'm Alex Dibble, and I executive produce the podcast.
The World in 10 is partnered with Frontline, the interview series from Times Radio,
available on YouTube with expert analysis of the world's conflicts.
At the weekend, we bring you frontline interviews in full.
Here's one from this week.
I hope you find it interesting.
Hello, and welcome to Frontline with me, Philip Ingram.
Today, we're talking to General Ben Hodges.
General Ben was an infantry officer, a military planner,
and a former commanding general for US Army Europe, relinquishing command in 2017.
You've co-authored a few books on the future of warfare and defense in Europe,
and you provide analysis in lots of different programs.
But if ever there was an individual to get us to try and understand what's going on from a military perspective inside Ukraine,
you're the person.
So welcome back to Frontline.
Philip, thank you very much for the privilege.
Well, I have to start, and we'll lift it up above the military.
We'll have to get into the strategic with some of the comments that are coming out of Washington at the moment.
