Europe's Decline Is Becoming Impossible to Ignore | Victor Davis Hanson
Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own WordsShow Notes
Today, I sat down with Sami Winc to discuss the growing unrest in France, antisemitic attacks, and the consequences of Europe’s immigration policies. We examine the economic and cultural pressures facing European nations, including the strain on social welfare systems, declining defense capabilities, and the struggle to preserve national identity.
We also turn to challenges closer to home, including America’s mounting national debt, wealth tax proposals, and what the presidencies of Rutherford B. Hayes and Warren G. Harding reveal about political corruption and public accountability. Along the way, we discuss why some Americans are reconsidering life abroad, the debate surrounding the WNBA, and the lessons Israel’s counterterrorism efforts offer for the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
