Trump's Plans For North Korea | Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He is a nationally syndicated columnist and has written many books on ancient and modern warfare.

Conversations feature John Anderson, former Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, interviewing the world's foremost thought leaders about today's pressing social, cultural and political issues.

John believes proper, robust dialogue is necessary if we are to maintain our social strength and cohesion. As he puts it; "You cannot get good public policy out of a bad public debate."

When I was in Vietnam during the Tet offensive, The NVA launched 145 rockets on to our base on Feb. 17, 1968. In the following months they sporadically hit us with more rockets several times a week. I never once heard any of my fellow airmen complain of shell shock.

Of course that is what you do to make deals. Anyone who doesn't understand that has never worked in a deal making business.

For true Mr. Hanson the world did fell apart as soon as he left.

[claregray]

Most interesting, we need a man like this, who can negotiate well fairly and businessman manner. This man is spot on, world fell apart!!

Jerry Lewis had a similar mantra 1) let your audience know what your gonna do. 2) Do It! 3) Let them know it has been done!!

Victor is smart just like Trump ✅. Hanson. Intelligent man

And what about when he sent 20 missile in Syria to destroy their production of lethal gas. Everyone said that this would trigger WW3, and yet, not a word from Putin and Xi Jing Ping! He always said piece through strength!

[rogervandusen]

I wonder what measures are taken to ensure that the North Korean troops in Russia don't immediately seek asylum to avoid being returned to North Korea?

[atiyehpayamikia]

It worked last time. N.Korea had flipped the propaganda machine for awhile

[AnneOfNYS]

This reminds me so much of how the Left and Big Media treated President Reagan. They never stopped with their war on him. I'm 72 and I well remember that era. 😮

[scottpieper]

The left needs to just live their own life and leave everybody else alone.

[keithmath.]

No one ever stand behind their deals they make

[ChillOut]

Never in my life would I have thought we could have lost so much in 4 years. Biden and his administration has got us in such horrible conditions that I hope and pray President Trump can get America’s respect back amongst world leaders!!

Help me out -- should America allow Japan & South Korea develop Nuclear Weapons to counter China & Russia allowing North Korea's Nuclear Weapons -- seems like a no brainier to me?
