On this episode, join Victor Davis Hanson and cohost Sami Winc as they discuss the complex geopolitical landscape surrounding Israel’s current conflicts and the historical intricacies of World War II. Victor discusses the implications of leaked war plans by the Biden administration and the challenges Israel faces in its strategic decisions against Iran. The conversation also covers the United States’ role and its fluctuating support for Israel, alongside the broader Middle Eastern dynamics involving Gulf monarchies and Iran. In the second segment, Victor shifts focus to the historical invasion of Russia during World War II, analyzing Hitler’s strategic missteps and the eventual turning points that defined the conflict.
Ukraine also influenced the 2016 presidential election by releasing the “black ledger” that implicated Paul Manafort in accepting millions of dollars illegally from the Ukrainian government before Zelenskyy took office.
A Ukrainian court later ruled that the release of the information illegally influenced the US 2016 election, in part by getting Manafort fired from the Trump campaign.
