from רוח מערבית - The Western Spirit · host Ariel Whitman
Victor Davis Hanson: DEI people only talk in a positive fashion about Jews when they're dead On this episode of 'The Western Spirit' we spoke with renowned military historian and political analyst Victor Davis Hanson. We discussed his belief that modern American Progressives feel they have a monopoly on victimhood and how national security may be harmed if Western powers insist on applying their ethical codes in conflicts with enemies who are not similarly constrained. We also touched on the war in Gaza, why the Biden administration seems to have turned its back on Israel, and why the Jewish state needs to hold on just a bit longer until after the presidential election in the US. Lastly, Professor Hanson discussed his view of American decline, the reason that Donald Trump is poised to win - and why that might reverse that decline.
