Angriest of Readers, Part One:
Sir, Victor Davis Hanson, an intellectual apologist for western supremacism and racism, delivers a diatribe claiming that the “world” turned its back on Iran as it was bombed by the United States and Israel. The “world”, of course, is the United States and allies. But even Japan, an American protectorate since 1945, condemned the strikes… Continue reading Angriest of Readers, Part One:
The Crybaby Iran and Its Feet of Clay, Part Two
There was never in truth any evidence that the Iranian military was competent. Tehran knew and hid that truth when it began arming terrorist surrogates like Hezbollah and Hamas to do its own dirty work. Again, Iran performed pathetically (but bravely nihilist) in the Iran-Iraq War. When its ships buzzed American naval vessels in the… Continue reading The Crybaby Iran and Its Feet of Clay, Part Two

The Incoherence of the Mexican Flag and Mexico’s Foolish Rhetoric, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Mexico seems clueless about the current asymmetries and the huge benefits it has been accruing at U.S. expense, as if these benefits are somehow its birthright. Currently, some $63 billion in remittances are sent to Mexico from mostly Mexican immigrants, the majority believed to be here illegally. And many of that cohort… Continue reading The Incoherence of the Mexican Flag and Mexico’s Foolish Rhetoric, Part Two
Ten Iranian Questions
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness 1. What are we to make of Saturday night’s destruction of the three Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan? Trump and the U.S. military took a great risk and succeeded in astounding fashion. Operationally, the destruction of the nuclear sites seems to have gone perfectly, in contrast to… Continue reading Ten Iranian Questions
