The Real ‘Reset’ Is Coming

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Joe Biden believes the Ukraine war will mark the start of a “new world order.” In the middle of the COVID global pandemic, Klaus Schwab and global elites likewise announced a “Great Reset.” Accordingly, the nations of the world would have to surrender their sovereignty to an international body of […]

VDH UltraBidenism Grows Toxic. Part One

Victor Davis HansonEeyore’s Corner Once affluent and leisured societies achieve postmodern complacency, watch out! Survival leads to surfeit that results in utopianism that ends in a reversion to tribalism, anarchy, and chaos—and a return to the very primitivism from which a society once advanced. So the Greeks thought civilizations aged like people, through muscular adolescence,

Conspirators in Their Own Words

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness For the last five years, the Left—defined as the fusion of the mainstream media, Silicon Valley, the radical new Democratic Party, and the vestigial Hillary Clinton machine—has crafted all sorts of conspiracies to destroy their perceived conservative enemies.

The Green Immoralists

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Thousands are dying from Russian missiles and bombs in the suburbs of Ukraine. In response, the Biden Administration’s climate-change envoy, multimillionaire and private-jet owning John Kerry, laments that Russian president Vladimir Putin might no longer remain his partner in reducing global warming. “You’re going to lose people’s focus,” Kerry frets.

Vladimir Putin: The Latest of the Failed Irredentists

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Irredentism—the romance of reclaiming “unredeemed” old lands—is a symptom of messianic presidents and premiers, and national paranoia and insecurity. Leaders demagogue about the recovery of ancient territories that previously had weakened the nation’s imperial grandeur and power. Supposedly long-scattered and oppressed peoples with common linguistic, religious, and cultural affinities are

The Biden Inflation Octopus

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The Democrats will suffer historic losses in the November midterms. This disaster for their party will come about not just because of the Afghanistan debacle, an appeased Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, the destruction of the southern border, the supply chain mess, or their support for critical race theory demagoguery.

The Crowded Road to Kyiv

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness One of the oddest commentaries about the Russian invasion of Ukraine is the boilerplate reaction that “borders can’t change in modern Europe” or “this does not happen in the 21st century.” But why in the world should the 21st century be exempt from the pathologies of the past 20 centuries?

Putin’s Predictabilities

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness For all his caginess, dissimulation, and opportunism, Vladimir Putin is more or less predictable. Putin’s aims? The Russian president’s two-decade dilemma has been how to reclaim the prestige and power of the former Soviet Union—but with only 75 percent of his country’s former territory and 140 million fewer people. When

The Gathering Storm in the West

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Canada is now governed by absurdism, and it is symptomatic of an ailing Western elite. Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week invoked martial law to arrest and financially destroy truckers on the charge that their largely peaceful protests are “dismantling the Canadian economy” that had already been dismantled

Hillary Clinton’s Greatest Masterpiece

Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Hillary Clinton’s never-ending shenanigans in 2015-2016 could be summarized as an attempted slow-motion coup. Four years of national hysteria, a divided nation, and dangerous new tensions with Russia were some of the wages of Clinton’s machinations. Clinton hired a British national and ex-spy, Christopher Steele, to compile dirt on her
