  • Victor Davis Hanson is a classicist and military historian, professor of classics, and the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is the author of more than a dozen and a half books. His most recent volumes are Makers of Ancient Strategy: From the Persian Wars to the Fall of Rome, which Dr. Hanson edited, and The Father of Us All: War and History, Ancient and Modern, a volume of Dr. Hanson's own essays.
    Beginning with an explanation of why the post-Cold War New World Order is rapidly breaking apart, Victor Davis Hanson sees a world where nations are returning to the ancient passions, rivalries, and differences of past centuries. In light of this world transformation, Hanson looks at key challenges the United States faces around the globe: in Europe, Asia, Russia, Mexico, and Iran.

    Remember that this was 9 years ago. Nobody did a damned thing about Mexico or China until Trump came into office. You may not like him but at least he recognized the issue and has been trying to sort it out.

      CNN Garbage: People used to watch Bill Buckley, didn’t they?
      “Even “ Fox News thinks we need Hannity to explain this to us, LOL.
      Cannot fault Sean for not trying as hard as he can to learn and explain to us, though.
      Wouldn’t a Hannity-Hanson-Levin show be fun?
      Good metric too, to measure who tunes in and out according to “HHL” topic/intellectual level.

      Because it takes brain cells to process the understanding of history and its lessons as applied to our modern day. CNN caters to the lowest common denominator of the leftist mob, because most, if not all, of their current on-air "talents" come from that cesspool.

      I learn more in an hour listening to Victor than I could have in a full semester. He's so quick with all the right answers. Almost prophetic. I keep thinking
      he would make a great presidential advisor. He knows how to win the respect of others who have differing opinions. He commands the direction of conversation with a calm forthright demeanor. HIS KIND of genius is sort of wasted by trying to educate millenials with his knowledge of history. Learning history is a way to avoid repeating our former mistakes, but so many see no value or use for it. They rather learn competitive gaming. Entertainment is the industry to pursue to be successful in our country these days.That and maybe a job having to do with pharmaceuticals.This is just my pesimistic oppinion.
