In this weekend episode of the Victor Davis Hanson show, topics covered in depth include Mexican president Sheinbaum’s remarks on immigration and fentanyl, the issue of race and crime in urban areas, and an appraisal of the second Gulf War, and more.
Victor, thank you for the most succinct, insightful & clear-eyed summary of the Second Gulf War. I have never heard it demystified better. I too initially supported the war, but when I saw documentaries with American farm boys patrolling down dusty roads in a primitive Afghan village I thought “what are we doing here?” Appropriate military use may be necessary (Iran nukes). But like you, I never want another American’s blood spilt for people who hate us. Thanks for your ever- present wisdom.
“Beto”? What’s a “Beto”?
Oh, right, the white Irish-American guy who claims Spanish descent to pander to Hispanics.
What’s his name again? Oh, right. It’s BOB, Bob O’Rourke.
Gotta admire Cyrus The Great. He is the only conquer, I know of, that was welcomed by the invaded populace and continued to be liked during his reign !!
