He expresses concern about the lack of a clear strategy and warns that this could open a Pandora&#8217;s box, especially in relation to China. Hodges also questions Trump\u2019s strong focus on Venezuela, viewing the military actions as potentially aimed at regime change rather than addressing drug cartels. He raises alarms about Trump&#8217;s intention to deploy military troops into U.S. cities, suggesting it could challenge military leadership. Additionally, Hodges shares a grim outlook on the situation in Ukraine, believing that Russia feels increasingly confident that Europe and the U.S. may give up on supporting Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>For more news go to: http:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/<\/p>\n<p>Follow DW on social media:<br \/>\n\u25baInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baTikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@dwnews<br \/>\n\u25baFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/deutschewellenews\/<br \/>\n\u25baTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwnews<\/p>\n<p>F\u00fcr Videos in deutscher Sprache besuchen Sie: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dwdeutsch<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/deutschewelleenglish?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\n#trump #us #nuclear<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an interview with DW\u2019s Washington Bureau Chief, retired three-star General Ben Hodges reflects on Donald Trump&#8217;s announcement regarding nuclear weapons testing.
