About this episode

Victor Davis Hanson discusses the challenges Europe faces and warns America to learn from these issues to avoid a similar fate.

Europe is always angry, but the last two weeks particularly so. First it was Trump’s tariffs, then it was Greenland, and now it’s the NATO budget—that the U.S. is carrying by 50% mind you.   What Europe should really be upset about is the socialist agenda ruining their country: DEI, redistribution, green energy, open borders, you know the rest.   America had better learn from Europe quickly, or we’ll be Europe 2.0 before long, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In a Few Words.” Mount Titano Media - FINDING OUR WORDS: Words That Made America is available now in paperback, hardcover, Kindle, Audible, and in Spanish translation on Amazon.com, and on https://www.MountTitanoMedia.com Learn more about your ad choices.
