Author and Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson claims US President Donald Trump exposed Europe’s weaknesses on defence, energy and borders. “There was a wound that was there, and Trump didn’t cause it; he tore out the scab and exposed it,” Mr Hanson told Sky News Digital Presenter Trum. “They were essentially unarmed; they’re trying to make that up now. “They sort of committed energy suicide, especially in Germany, by dismantling fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants. Their borders were open.”
Like Craigm, I wish you stay healthy; you are America’s most revered historian. However, you seem to write on all subjects under the sky, except the elephant in the room: Russia’s genocidal war on Ukraine, which is intensifying daily. Russia is even telling foreign diplomats, including Americans, to leave Kyiv, and President Trump has little to say about it, but then neither do you, and that is disgraceful. I am baffled. One could interpret your silence as rooting for Russia to win.
Oh, Victor, please stay healthy. We live in turbulent, yet historic times. Your common sense, knowledge & calm demeanor are reassuring to others, to include our dear Aussie friends & allies!
