Our Ukrainian War Narrative—Paradoxes, Obsessions, and Disconnects
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness About half of America sympathizes with Ukraine’s plight and wishes to arm it.

VDH UltraWorld War II. Churchill, the Chief Villain of World War II? Part Five
Victor Davis Hanson And I told him that. I think, and maybe I’m being a little hyperbolic, maybe, but I told him, maybe trying to provoke him a little bit, that I thought Churchill was the chief villain of the Second World War. Now, he didn’t kill the most people, he didn’t commit the most […]

October September Surprises!
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness An October surprise is usually defined as the well-known (and more often left-wing) tactic of manufacturing or unloading a news story right before voting to surprise a rival without allowing them time sufficiently to respond or recover. Think of the last-minute bombshell disclosure, five days before the 2000 election, that […]

VDH UltraWorld War II. The Accidental Millions of Russian POW Deaths? Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson That’s not what I’m saying. Germany, look, they put themselves into a position, and Adolf Hitler is chiefly responsible for this, but his whole regime is responsible for it, that when they went into the east in 1941, they launched a war where they were completely unprepared to deal with the millions […]
VDH UltraWorld War II. Germany and the Causes of World War I, Part Three
And so, when you do something like that with, I mean, again, like a historical event, like World War Two, where, I mean, the one rule is that you shall not do that. You shall not look at this topic and try to understand how the Germans saw the world: like how the whole thing […]

Our So-called ‘Experts’ and their Silly Group-speak Letters
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness One of the most preposterous recent trends has been the political use of supposed expert letters and declarations of support from so-called “authorities.” These pretentious testimonies of purported professionalism are different from the usual inane candidate endorsements from celebrities and politicos. Instead, they are used by politicians to impress and […]

VDH UltraWorld War II. Introduction: Revisiting the Revisionism of World War II, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson When we read the latest and now widely read denunciations of Churchill as a terrorist, drunk, psychopath, or warmonger, or accusations that the Allies fought a war of terror against their Axis enemies, we naturally expect those indictments more often emanate from the Left. So, what then drives this new rightist revisionism […]

Can Harris’s Cynical, Run-out-the Clock Campaign Succeed?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Cynically running out the clock has been the overarching principle of the entire abbreviated 105-day presidential campaign of Kamala Harris—ever since Joe Biden, at the 11th-hour, dropped out in July. Harris seems unwilling or unable to answer any impromptu question that she has not been previously prepped for. Her answers […]

VDH UltraWorld War II. Introduction: Revisiting the Revisionism of World War II, Part One
Victor Davis Hanson Recently, remarks by one Darryl Cooper on a widely viewed Tucker Carlson interview ranged over a great number of topics. (see transcript). Among them, he offered a series of statements about World War II that more or less exonerated the Axis powers, and by extension contextualized the mass death of Russian POWS, […]
VDH UltraPostscript: One Long, Long Angry Letter
Mr. Dernburg, since you like to fact check these columns; please do the same with this tweet I posted just a few hours after Kamala Harris addressed the nation at the DNC. One Insulting, Sappy Harris Speech Who would have thought that Harris all this time, over the last three and a half years, was […]

An Anatomy of the Post-Debate Detritus
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness After the September 10, 2024, presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, the Harris campaign became giddy. And why not? Pre-debate conventional wisdom had assured the country that underdog Harris would shock the nation with her endless wash/rinse/spin word salads of repeated phrases and memorized sound bites. She supposedly […]
