Today’s essay from Victor Davis Hanson looks at the state of play in the world today.
- Gut-check time for the Democrats. “Already the Democrats are learning, as is eternally true of our wonderful political system, that loud opposition is not the same as being responsible for governance.”
- Israel: “Now more than ever … nearly all alone.”
- Carterism “is a new postmodern pathology in which smug piety, dressed up in evangelical new-age Christianity, pronounces from afar moral censure on the more righteous party.”
- World War II Then and Now
