VDH UltraMiddle Eastern Mysteries
Victor Davis Hanson Try to fathom the following unimaginable: 1) Why do Middle Eastern terrorists when committing murder and mayhem dress in casual civilian clothes, but when there is no danger their “commanders” usually for photo-ops outfit themselves in fatigues? Should it not be reversed: the killers wear uniforms, and their “civilian” overseers do not? […]

Premodern Diversity Vs. Civilizational Unity
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Few Romans in the late decades of their 5th-century AD empire celebrated their newfound “diversity” of marauding Goths, Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Huns, and Vandals. These tribes en masse had crossed the unsecured Rhine and Danube borders to harvest Roman bounty without a care about what had created it. Their agendas were […]

The War in Gaza Brings Out Anti-Semitism

VDH UltraThe Strange Middle Eastern Hatred of its Desire. Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson So here is the paradox. Given what we have seen from Hamas this week, why do Middle Easterners emigrate to the West, prosper, enjoy security and freedom, unknown in their former homelands—and then cheer on terrorists and pledge fealty to the systems they forsook? Did the crowds in New York on the […]
The Sickness of Our Universities—and the Cure
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The sheer madness that has gripped many elite universities since October 7 and the butchery, rape, torture, and mutilation of some 1,000 Israeli civilians by Hamas murderers have shocked the public at large. Campus craziness is, of course, nothing new. But quite novel for campuses was the sudden jettisoning of […]
VDH UltraThe Strange Middle Eastern Hatred of its Desire. Part One
Victor Davis Hanson One could loosely define Europe and the United States as “Western.” Roughly, that means a billion people living under consensual governments—with mostly free-market economies, where religious freedom, unfettered expression, and an independent judiciary are the norms. In varying degrees, Western nations are not strictly blood-and-soil societies. Anyone can become an American who […]

Does Iran Realize Its Own Growing Danger?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Iran understandably believes it is riding quite high. It is flush with cash. It hints it almost has the bomb—and might use it soon. The Iranians are bragging about their new tyrannical allies like Russia and China. Iran boasts of now being the self-proclaimed leader of jihad on behalf of […]
VDH UltraThe Aberrant American Appeasement of Theocratic Iran
Victor Davis Hanson The Obama–Biden pathological appeasement of Iran is shameful. Barack Obama cooked up the “Iran deal” design to ensure the development of an Iranian bomb—although not on his watch.

VDH UltraWoke Hits the Wall. Part Four
Victor Davis Hanson Another tenet of woke was a veritable war on gas and oil. Note the same serial ironic theme: if Biden inherited a calm border, he had the luxury or rather the margin of error to demagogue it, destroy it, and not be swamped by illegals—for a while. It was also easy to […]
Our Post-Hamas Wreckage
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness As Hamas goes, so with it go many of the following related Western pretensions.
