VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: How Will the Wars in Ukraine, Middle East End? The Answer Lies in History. | The Daily Signal
Apr 11, 2025
With two major, ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, historian Victor Davis Hanson takes a step back to examine the historical nature of war—and why modern conflicts so often defy resolution on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
.
Are today’s endless wars a departure from the classical model of victory through total defeat and political transformation? Or have we simply lost the will to wage decisive wars?
