His closing comment regarding notions of moral equivalency and conflict resolution held by today's youth is monumental. The mindset and worldview he describes would explain a great deal of the otherwise inexplicable cognitive dissonance and delusion evinced by many students of our most elite institutions.
Great point Scott. The Harvard/Ivy schools inundate our gov with smug elitist out of touch incompetent defective graduates that think they know better than the common man. An elite that believes that they are required to do our thinking and make our decisions for us. I don't know how this process which has been upside down since 1900 can be deconstructed. In fact it cannot. Only the dissolution of the swamp the shrinking and decentralization of the swamp monster can save our children and grand children.
*25:35** "That's very dangerous, when you lose that sense of deterrence...and your opponent does not necessarily believe in consensual government."* Dr. Hanson's point and it reflects the need, in our times, 2020, to have a president who is willing to show our resolve to be the leading world power.

Personally i consider this speech one of the best Dr Hanson has ever gave . Also i interested in reading the works of the german historian Hans Delbruck who was mentioned by Dr Hanson . A few days ago i got a book about the german strategy leading to verdun and the historian Dr Foley name the historian Delbruck who tried to warn Germany about the changes of warfare and the impossibility to win a war by a decisive battle , but by war of attrition
Ardavan please produce any evidence that you’re referring to Victor Davis Hanson speech was really bullshit. I’m a little hazy on where you’re developing your evidence. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA
I love to discuss politics and history with people. I would also love to talk to VDH however, it would not be an exchange of information or ideas. This man is so brilliant that I would just keep my mouth shut and listen.
Oh and Barry Obama and sleepy, creepy joe biden are statesmen well versed in foreign affairs. Afghanistan withdrawl shows the ineptitude.Same way Milosevic punked barrySMH🙄
It makes me almost sad to see those empty seats in the auditorium. Maybe I could have been there. I wonder if I would have had the sense to accept an invitation that day.
Kigamit, I am a long-time student of the history, cultures and languages of Native N. America. I am also of mixed Irish and Cherokee ancestry. Your comments are politically correct, not factually so. As much as I admire American aboriginals, honesty forces me to admit that, as tends to be the case in all primitive societies, such social ills as war, rape, thievery, vengeance killing and slavery were no less common among my American forefathers than among my pre-civilization European ones.
The first gulf war was an amazing example ! If you listen to the Swartskoft’s lectures is very evident that Sadam’s troops were held on the front lines at gun point ! No food or water or want to and that’s why so many troops surrendered rather than fight the US led military !!
In 70AD and again in 73AD all the “Jews” were killed or kicked out of Palestine. Give it a break there are no biblical Jews left. All white European Jews are Europeans.
20 years later... and all of this is still relevant. It is also depressing. Gandalf said that "even the very wise cannot see all ends." Well, Mithrandir, you have not yet met this Man of the West called VDH. Harken to him.
About Andaluz. It's not Andalucia (the southern province of Spain), it's Andaluz (practically entire Spain conquered by Moors in 711-714). It is not 50 years of wars or 500 years of war. It's permanent war. This is how Islamists see it. I have their documents about it. Permanent war until total triumph of Islam over the entire planet.
I wish you would fight harder and the NATO forces come and destroy the Muslim Wolrd even much more and in brutal way so that we Muslims finally call up open Jihad and the world wide Caliphate nothing brings People more toghteter than a War
To apply "native inhabitants" to the Arabs only is very racially insensitive. I accept and honor the Arab presence on the land and their rights to it. Jews too are indiginous to the land. Neither Jews nor Palestinian Arabs are "genetically pure" or can trace every chromosome to an inhabitant living there in antiquity. First step to peace and mutual reconciliation is recognizing that the conflict is between two middle eastern peoples.
I love Hillsdale and respect Dr Hanson but there are many experts ie Airline pilots Engineers Chemists etc who ask many questions all unanswered about 9/11 and there he goes blaming Bin laden Who gained from a neutered Iraq and the Trillions of dollars spent on munitions What was the nationality of the dancing students/?
Yes I agree completely. It seemed especially interesting when he noted regarding Bin Laden, "I think if he would of just taken off the top 1/3 of the buildings he would of been fine". LOL well it seemed other people knew that would be the case also and made sure the whole buildings would come down
Hernán Cortes was helped by thousands of Tlaxcaltecas and other tribes enemies of the Aztecs. It´s completely erroneous to suggest the Spaniards defeated the Aztecs with 1,600 soldiers.
Exactly. Victor is a Western Supremacist liar. The Spaniards were actually fighting under an indigenous king with a large army. The euro centric view says the war was all about European domination but it was not. It was indigenous against indigenous and the Spaniards were just tagging along to try and benefit.
Jose I don't think he was suggesting that from his lecture. The Aztecs were hated by many peoples that were more than willing to join with the Spainairds
VDH is far from a Western Supremacist (whatever the hell that means) or a "liar". But you are correct that the tribal warfare of the indigenous people helped to subdue them.
xtremeownage2 Well since western civilization has done more for the benefit of mankind then any other culture I guess there’s nothing wrong with being a western supremacist whatever the hell that is.
It was a combination of Spaniards, Tlaxcaltecas, Small Pox, Horses, cannon, falconets, harquebuses, and the fact that the Aztecs attempted to capture their opponents alive on the fields of battle.
I have several of your work and I am a Historian with a PhD from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I appreciate your criticism of multi culturlism and identity politics. Your attempt to equate Pakistan and India 🇮🇳 over the conflict in Kashmir is misplaced. And your discussion on Serbia too seems a little wrong. The exaggerated accounts over Serbian War Crimes and Genicide have been disproved by the IIC Judgement.
@Re5Publica I know man.... but they are strategically important... Now that US commands Kwait, they have a secure base there... I think that Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan were a diversion....
Not “Andalasia” as the first questioner says; AndaluSia. (Al Andaluz). And the Arabs have absolutely no case, no gripe against the Jews for how that devolved. Christians? Yes.

CONTACTLIGHTTOMMY I'm sure he has an outline of his speech , meaning something like a list with talking points aligned to give a flowing speech and he looks at the notes and knows what he wants to say about each note's subject . Basicly winging it as he says what he wanted to about each note and adds to it anything that comes to his mind while he's saying what he wanted to on that particular note . Or else he practices his speeches (which is what your supposed to do if you're going to give a Speech) But he is without a doubt Brilliantly Smart with an Encyclopedic Knowledge and a Fantastic Memory (probably a bit of , if not a full blown , photographic Memory) . He's Great , I just wonder why I haven't heard of him until recently .
No TelePrompTer, but also not “winging it.” His preparation is not just assembling an outline for this speech. It is usually a book that he has just written. After you’ve written 20+ books and 1000s of columns, you can talk intelligently about these subjects without notes.
"Thus I believe today that I am acting according to the will of the almighty Creator: when I defend myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord." The 1st one is from an article by Kan'an Ubayd, published in Hamas newspaper Al-Risalah. April 23, 2007 The 2nd - from "Mein Kampf" by Adolph Hitler Finally, compare these quotes: "We love death more than you love life. Allahu akbar." (cont.)
I'd ask distinguished Mr Hanson what's so bad in a more dialectical approach to history rather than this Kantian grip on freezing history at its "optimal" point? He should know better that no amount of renewed deterrence had stop any empire from falling and that the greater the victory, the more insidiously the seeds of decline are planted. No, the '1950s cannot be reinstated and Fukuyama's end of history was wrong.
Funny how Europe became Eurabia on the watch of intellectuals like Hanson, and they all missed it. I know he's a military historian, and the invasion occurred below the military horizon. But Bat Ye'or wrote "Eurabia" in 2005, Styne wrote "America Alone" in 2010. This lecture sounds quaint by now.
I don't don't hate Jew's. My ppl fought their own ppl to free them and others from oppression and it was the right thing to do. That doesn't mean I have to be blind to the realities of the world around me.
@jen levins, Geroge Soros is not the same kind of Jew as Bibi Netanyahu. I'd go to the ends of Hell and back with Bibi, but I wouldn't throw a rope to a drowning Soros. Em I an anti-semite for that?
Interesting to see how wrong VDH can be. I feel like his more recent lectures are much better. I wonder if he would repeat this lecture today. In this lecture, the examples to uses to show the benevolence of the US are now, 15 years later, seen in a very different light. And VDH ignored the longest war at the time of this lecture, Vietnam, in his examples. So why didn't he mention Vietnam? Or the carpet bombing of Cambodia? What was the "good" of the US dropping napalm on children in poor rural villages in Vietnam? The image of girl, skin burned off, running down a dirt road after being hit by US napalm needs to be remembered. For that matter, what was the "good" of using nuclear weapons on civilian cities in Japan? What is more terroristic than nuclear bombs on civilians? Nuclear weapons is not proportional to what the Japanese had done. And only by seeing the Japanese as inferior human lives can you say "well we would have lost too many for an unconditional surrender". And the condition of unconditional surrender is also something VDH should think carefully about in his moral frame. If you look at the world today, its pretty clear that the US seeks to encircle China. Is China an enemy? What was the first engagement between the US and east asia? It was the US sending gun boats to Japan, Korea, and China and firing canons at them. China had NOT sent warships to Europe or the US. So what was that the "good" in gunboat deplomacy? The British were trying to force China to accept their "freedom" to sell hard narcotics in China and that was the basis of the Opium Wars. The US had no problems with this. The US was also involved in humiliating China and weakening China to the point that the communist were later able to rise up and destroy China. VDH ignores all this. Well along that lines, the US carpet bombing of Cambodia weakened the Cambodian government which helped Pol Pot to rise to power. Again, our militarism helped communist rise to power. You see the same thing happen in Russia. VDH is ignoring all this.
14:28 Kosovo Muslims were massacred later admitted to u.k as refugees..watched footage by a soldier who fought that war in u.k hundreds of Muslims mutilated while NATO was having conferences...to establish air no fly zones...
“When I was growing up in rural California in the 50s, the challenge was from the Neanderthal right. I think that challenge was met. Today I see that challenge from the boutique, aristocratic and sophisticated left.” I hope people caught what he said here because it is quite astonishing. Assuming that he’s talking about totalitarian states like NK, China, and USSR (with whom we did contend in the ‘50s) when he says “Neanderthal right”, 1) he’s got his ideologies backward - all three countries were communist or undergoing revolutions thereto, or on the extreme left of the ideological spectrum, and 2) I would argue that since none of those countries have relinquished their totalitarian tendencies (Russia just replaced one with another), those challenges are still very much being worked out. But most importantly, I hope everyone noticed that, even if he just got his dates wrong and meant nazi Germany/fascist Italy in the 40s, he’s still drawing an equivalency between fellow Americans who lean left politically (more than half the country, if estimates are to be believed) and foreign autocracies that Americans have died fighting against. In essence what he’s saying is that, despite the their status as fellow Americans, liberals are the enemy that America should fight against. This is reprehensible, disgusting and totally against the liberties of association and speech that we as Americans supposedly have.
Can you look at Trump’s peace Deal between Israel and Palestine that is fully supported by Saudi Arabia and 7 other Arab nations supported by a transference of technology from Israel to the Arab countries in the form of water purification and transforming desert to productive farm land ?

Fascism is socialism, Mussolini was a socialist, Himmler, Göhring, Hitler and especially Ernst Röhm was a socialist. Even my own Vidkun Quisling was a socialist who learned the tools of state oppression while in USSR working for the Red Cross. Franco though a Monarchist did not trust the monarchy to uphold social and economic values so he used socialist corporatism same as my country of Norway used today. Of course it works for us because we have strong right wing capitalist third sector economy supporting the welfare state. This is a classic example of experts, Victor Davis Hanson is an expert historian but fails miserably at political science and economic terminology/models.
+Earthworm Jim He actually uses very common political science concepts within this talk. From the very beginning he uses broadly accepted themes within political science such as the threat of an external enemy as a unifying force - Argentina, security dilemma - Sparta, he then even goes into the bandwagoning effects witnessed throughout the Middle East and North Africa and delves down to the 1st image theories of causes of war based on personal emotion/feeling. Theories postulated by Jervis, Levy, and Fearon are all seen within his argument. While he doesn't directly cite political science scholars and use these theories by their common parlance within the field, the core of this talk is full of such usage; one should be able to easily notice this if familiar enough with the field of which you speak. Academic speakers are not always going to explain something to the basic academic level when talking through an analytical perspective - especially one as dynamic and contemporary as this.
wheresarnie1 Yes, it is more expedient to use common misconceptions to convey an argument without clarifying them in order to present one's theory when these misconceptions are insignificant to the outcome, but it still isn't intellectually honest to do so even if the conclusions and all other facts are true.
You wish to present yourself as some intellectual who is so cutting edge in your political thinking by claiming that all socialists are fascists. How laughable. Once you complete the most basic high school government class, or at the most a 100-level political science course at the undergrad level, you will understand the distinctions between the quasi-socialist aspects of the Nazi, Fascist, and Communist groups you mentioned versus fascism. In the mean time, quit commenting. You merely demonstrate your profound ignorance and merely come across as sad and pathetic. Leave political discussions to the adults, and the world renowned experts in the field (& also history and the classics) like Professor Hanson. There's a reason why he's written over 20 scholarly books and you have written none, and why he is on the board of many think tanks while you're still in the kiddie pool of though. Go back to the safe space in your mom's basement. If you're good, she might bring you some milk and cookies. 😂
Hmm interesting points, but Norway was invaded, occupied, that’s about it. Wait it’s starting to have replacement now, so guess that’s the 21 century occupation beginning....
well do you think it's possible that a smart radical Islam can construct and build a drone cruise missile?? right here in American soil and used it for terror!!!
OMG is opening Jew pseudo-intellectual is so damn boring I almost didn't make it to hear the lecture I'm at 5 minutes please tell me you didn't soon. And as for me sticking around to hear you say something later Alabama, no
It's always a good day when you find a VDH speech or lecture on TH-cam that you haven't heard before
'' Peace is but a parenthesis '' Plato. V.D.H. is my favorite. An amazing mind.
Peace is the time between wars when you re-arm.
This man's views should be the default position of the American academic, intellectual and media class.
His closing comment regarding notions of moral equivalency and conflict resolution held by today's youth is monumental. The mindset and worldview he describes would explain a great deal of the otherwise inexplicable cognitive dissonance and delusion evinced by many students of our most elite institutions.
Great point Scott. The Harvard/Ivy schools inundate our gov with smug elitist out of touch incompetent defective graduates that think they know better than the common man. An elite that believes that they are required to do our thinking and make our decisions for us. I don't know how this process which has been upside down since 1900 can be deconstructed. In fact it cannot. Only the dissolution of the swamp the shrinking and decentralization of the swamp monster can save our children and grand children.
They are not so elite now, by my reckoning. Nothing more than glorified, money grabbing diploma mills.
You need to listen to Carl Sagan and read Hemingway to better understand how to communicate in English
Dr. Hansen s', ability to go deep without being a bore and slow is awesome!
This professor is just amazing.
*25:35** "That's very dangerous, when you lose that sense of deterrence...and your opponent does not necessarily believe in consensual government."*
Dr. Hanson's point and it reflects the need, in our times, 2020, to have a president who is willing to show our resolve to be the leading world power.
Mr Koret was a close friend of my grandmother in Monte Rio CA. I'm proud his foundation had Dr Hanson speak.
Listening to this in 2019 he is as prophetic as Churchill
Now ask yourself "Was Churchill really Prophetic:>

Skip the introduction-VDH starts at 5:10
I don't agree with all he says, but he gives a very rational analysis of things, which is hard to find nowadays.
Nasiruddin84 but you don’t have to counter his rationale. Maybe because he is truthful.

Excellent, always enjoy Mr. Hanson's enlightened and rational take on reality.
He’s just so great at connecting the past with the present
Wonderful author.
Victor Hanson rocks!
Fascinating watching this in Oct 2023 with everything going on at the moment. True insight by an amazing academic.
VDH is one of the greatest historians ever!
An intellectual who understands emotions I think that's the appeal
Not understand s perhaps but infuses it into the logical

"Turkey gobbled Cyprus" sounds funny.
This dude is brutal but he makes some legitimate points on warfare and deterrence.
He's not a dude, he is a scholar and your language is vulgar
Oh really? Mr Hanson is from my generation. I think he's hip enough to appreciate the reference. We invented it.
@danbagheri Saying the "Palestinians" are the native inhabitants of the Levant is like saying that the Dutch were the natives of Pennsylvania.
Nice, a decent analogy
In 70AD and again in 73AD all the “Jews” were killed or kicked out of Palestine. Give it a break there are no biblical Jews left. All white European Jews are Europeans.

I wish you would fight harder and the NATO forces come and destroy the Muslim Wolrd even much more and in brutal way so that we Muslims finally call up open Jihad and the world wide Caliphate nothing brings People more toghteter than a War
SO, VDH, we can look at Trump as Americans sensing that now is th time to reestablish deterrence
Trump is a businessman and Pence is the politician they make a good pair and they both share one agenda rid the corruption!
His "STUDIES" class is probably a big hit

Rusty Shackleford Isn't it funny that Hanson talked about anti-semites just like you?
I don't don't hate Jew's. My ppl fought their own ppl to free them and others from oppression and it was the right thing to do. That doesn't mean I have to be blind to the realities of the world around me.
+Rusty I see you in the comments of so many videos lol
@jen levins, Geroge Soros is not the same kind of Jew as Bibi Netanyahu. I'd go to the ends of Hell and back with Bibi, but I wouldn't throw a rope to a drowning Soros. Em I an anti-semite for that?
It hasn't become 'Eurabia,' you hysterical prat.
Interesting to see how wrong VDH can be. I feel like his more recent lectures are much better. I wonder if he would repeat this lecture today.
In this lecture, the examples to uses to show the benevolence of the US are now, 15 years later, seen in a very different light. And VDH ignored the longest war at the time of this lecture, Vietnam, in his examples. So why didn't he mention Vietnam? Or the carpet bombing of Cambodia? What was the "good" of the US dropping napalm on children in poor rural villages in Vietnam? The image of girl, skin burned off, running down a dirt road after being hit by US napalm needs to be remembered. For that matter, what was the "good" of using nuclear weapons on civilian cities in Japan? What is more terroristic than nuclear bombs on civilians? Nuclear weapons is not proportional to what the Japanese had done. And only by seeing the Japanese as inferior human lives can you say "well we would have lost too many for an unconditional surrender". And the condition of unconditional surrender is also something VDH should think carefully about in his moral frame.
If you look at the world today, its pretty clear that the US seeks to encircle China. Is China an enemy? What was the first engagement between the US and east asia? It was the US sending gun boats to Japan, Korea, and China and firing canons at them. China had NOT sent warships to Europe or the US. So what was that the "good" in gunboat deplomacy? The British were trying to force China to accept their "freedom" to sell hard narcotics in China and that was the basis of the Opium Wars. The US had no problems with this. The US was also involved in humiliating China and weakening China to the point that the communist were later able to rise up and destroy China. VDH ignores all this. Well along that lines, the US carpet bombing of Cambodia weakened the Cambodian government which helped Pol Pot to rise to power. Again, our militarism helped communist rise to power. You see the same thing happen in Russia. VDH is ignoring all this.
14:28 Kosovo Muslims were massacred later admitted to u.k as refugees..watched footage by a soldier who fought that war in u.k hundreds of Muslims mutilated while NATO was having conferences...to establish air no fly zones...
“When I was growing up in rural California in the 50s, the challenge was from the Neanderthal right. I think that challenge was met. Today I see that challenge from the boutique, aristocratic and sophisticated left.” I hope people caught what he said here because it is quite astonishing. Assuming that he’s talking about totalitarian states like NK, China, and USSR (with whom we did contend in the ‘50s) when he says “Neanderthal right”, 1) he’s got his ideologies backward - all three countries were communist or undergoing revolutions thereto, or on the extreme left of the ideological spectrum, and 2) I would argue that since none of those countries have relinquished their totalitarian tendencies (Russia just replaced one with another), those challenges are still very much being worked out. But most importantly, I hope everyone noticed that, even if he just got his dates wrong and meant nazi Germany/fascist Italy in the 40s, he’s still drawing an equivalency between fellow Americans who lean left politically (more than half the country, if estimates are to be believed) and foreign autocracies that Americans have died fighting against. In essence what he’s saying is that, despite the their status as fellow Americans, liberals are the enemy that America should fight against. This is reprehensible, disgusting and totally against the liberties of association and speech that we as Americans supposedly have.
That was about anti-semitism and VDH was absolutely spot on. Time has only vindicated him.
I've become a convert to this brilliant man
Can you look at Trump’s peace Deal between Israel and Palestine that is fully supported by Saudi Arabia and 7 other Arab nations supported by a transference of technology from Israel to the Arab countries in the form of water purification and transforming desert to productive farm land ?

he is such an apologist for isreal, using sensational platitudes to paint isreal as the bunny in the room. Weird?
'Contemporary'? Why not just use 'modern'? Thereby saving us all three syllables, and, for some: contemporary cringe.
This guy is great on Greece but hasn't a clue about the Talmud or Islam. Not a clue.
I like the special needs freeze frame Victor Davis Hanson for the thumbnail.

Fascism is socialism, Mussolini was a socialist, Himmler, Göhring, Hitler and especially Ernst Röhm was a socialist. Even my own Vidkun Quisling was a socialist who learned the tools of state oppression while in USSR working for the Red Cross. Franco though a Monarchist did not trust the monarchy to uphold social and economic values so he used socialist corporatism same as my country of Norway used today. Of course it works for us because we have strong right wing capitalist third sector economy supporting the welfare state. This is a classic example of experts, Victor Davis Hanson is an expert historian but fails miserably at political science and economic terminology/models.
+Princess Whatsherface that was a fascinating reply,thanks.
+Earthworm Jim He actually uses very common political science concepts within this talk. From the very beginning he uses broadly accepted themes within political science such as the threat of an external enemy as a unifying force - Argentina, security dilemma - Sparta, he then even goes into the bandwagoning effects witnessed throughout the Middle East and North Africa and delves down to the 1st image theories of causes of war based on personal emotion/feeling. Theories postulated by Jervis, Levy, and Fearon are all seen within his argument. While he doesn't directly cite political science scholars and use these theories by their common parlance within the field, the core of this talk is full of such usage; one should be able to easily notice this if familiar enough with the field of which you speak. Academic speakers are not always going to explain something to the basic academic level when talking through an analytical perspective - especially one as dynamic and contemporary as this.
wheresarnie1 Yes, it is more expedient to use common misconceptions to convey an argument without clarifying them in order to present one's theory when these misconceptions are insignificant to the outcome, but it still isn't intellectually honest to do so even if the conclusions and all other facts are true.
You wish to present yourself as some intellectual who is so cutting edge in your political thinking by claiming that all socialists are fascists. How laughable. Once you complete the most basic high school government class, or at the most a 100-level political science course at the undergrad level, you will understand the distinctions between the quasi-socialist aspects of the Nazi, Fascist, and Communist groups you mentioned versus fascism.
In the mean time, quit commenting. You merely demonstrate your profound ignorance and merely come across as sad and pathetic. Leave political discussions to the adults, and the world renowned experts in the field (& also history and the classics) like Professor Hanson. There's a reason why he's written over 20 scholarly books and you have written none, and why he is on the board of many think tanks while you're still in the kiddie pool of though. Go back to the safe space in your mom's basement. If you're good, she might bring you some milk and cookies. 😂
Hmm interesting points, but Norway was invaded, occupied, that’s about it. Wait it’s starting to have replacement now, so guess that’s the 21 century occupation beginning....
