  • In this clip, Victor makes the case that although Trump was known to be 'isolationist', the evidence suggests that during his tenure, America provided a stronger deterrent to aggressors.
    It is clear that despite China, Russia, Hamas, Afghanistan, was the world more deterred.
    Victor Davis Hanson is an American classicist, military historian, columnist, and farmer. He has been a commentator on contemporary politics for the National Review and The Washington Times and is currently the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution.
    In addition to writing hundreds of articles, book reviews and newspaper editorials, Hanson is also the author of twenty-four books and hosts a regular podcast series, 'The Victor Davis Hanson Show'. Hanson was awarded the National Humanities Medal in 2007 by President George W. Bush, and was a presidential appointee in 2007-08 on the American Battle Monuments Commission. His latest book, The Dying Citizen, was published in October 2021. And his next book, soon to be released on May the 7th this year, The End of Everything, How Wars Descend Into Annihilation.

Why give it up?! Let the taliban do their thing because it’s inevitable. The afghan people at large did not want to turn into the West. They didn’t want the taliban but they didn’t want to be Wyoming. We need that aire of deterrence for a more peaceful world.

    We didn’t constitute our government to keep us safe, but to keep us free.

    VDH explanation is very easy to understand. I would recommend every anti-Trump voter to listen to this and maybe understand why the USA needs Trump back in the White House, its all about understanding strategy to keep Americas interest and safety first.

    From the beginning of the DJT presidency my thought about his detractors was this: Why isn't DJT judged by his results rather than his communication? How is the delivery of his message more important than the message?
    No, he was not & is not a "statesman", but he delivered on his promises or at least tried. Yes, he is blunt to the point of rudeness, but he gets the point across with little to no room for misunderstanding.
