Dr. Hanson is a national treasure.

[@dtbbull4222]

I absolutely agree. I can listen to him all day long.

[@onaleeshipstead]

@@dtbbull4222 yes,I agree.

[@chitrungkim]

Always great learning listening to the professor

Dr.Hanson for Governor!

[@craigmartin5484]

This is fascinating on deterence vs appeasement. VDH, you are truly brilliant.

[@kloschuessel773]

Craig Martin we had this experience in germany too. We had appeasers and the soviets got worse.

[@deansicking7132]

Okc toll system

[@thomassmestead6424]

VDH is absolutely correct: In the long run, appeasement costs far more than deterrence. Historical FACT. A misconception is that deterrence equates with aggression. They are not the same.

[@Bob-fz7pd]

From the school yard to international relations bullies will take your stuff and kick your butt if you try to appease them. Non violence bought us WW2.

[@pamphelps3243]

1:46 😅

[@pamphelps3243]

❤

[@gulfcoastpinebelt8600]

Just recently discovered Victor and I'm floored by his was of explaining history and current world events. He's worth listening to for the 1:30:00 minute lectures

[@dtbbull4222]

VDH is a giant! I love hearing him speak.

[@MichaelSlattery-sh8vl]

Thank you! Dr. Hanson!

[@Josh-pe5pl]

U r the epitome of a great, proud and grateful American, a profound gift to our country for your time. One could say you're a re-booted and updated version of a thinking founder. Warm appreciation for educating via YT. Signed, A fellow concerned American, also from a CA family as old as yours.

[@rezzer7918]

Exciting. Magnificent. Stirring. Revivifying.

[@davissae]

VDH and Sowell are our true conservative intellectuals.

[@marcelmagi4600]

VDH is next level!

[@grantarnold1815]

The old adage, peace through strength. We need a leader who understands this and needs to be able to verbalize it effectively and without regret.

[@carolyncunningham3847]

Victor Hanson for President!!

[@juansenaranjo]

Victor should be the candidate on 2024!

[@6663000]

Brilliant

[@stephens1950]

Incompetentence is expensive

[@AnaxofRhodes]

I'd pay to hear a debate between Hanson and Peter Hitchens. Diametrically opposed on war with very good reasons on both sides.

[@PS-sg1lz]

Can somebody please bring this man to the White House! Trump needs to pick this brilliant brain! MAGA depends on you VDH!

[@Theseus9-cl7ol]

I'm sure he knows of him. Rush Limbaugh has had him on his show, and Rush knows Trump......Oh plus, VDH personally knows Steve Bannon. So yeah, Trump knows him.

[@robertblake1032]

P S I’m not so sure they do. VDH has a great perspective and historical outlook but the big T has a great team around him. He’s doing a great job considering his background. Imagine what could be done if the collusion fiasco had not happened and the Dems were the Dems of old. Based on our current status it’s said that the US has 10 to 20 yrs until collapse. Might want to have some food and ammo stashed. When the urban areas free money dries up things will get very interesting. Good luck to us.

[@johnbascietto5338]

Yes I agree VDH should have conversations with our president ASAP

[@Gweidemann]

P S • "Make America Great Again" depends upon far, far more than a few amidst the many. In his September '96 newsletter to the audience of the Billy Graham Evangelist Association, Mr. Graham said "...If America is to be spared and to avoid the horrors of a dying nation, we must rediscover what it means to love God and one another." Without widespread repentance of our sins against God, there is no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no Holy Spirit revival to arouse the church from 'her' deadly spiritual slumber. Without repentance and revival, America continues to evolve into a nationwide holocaustic nightmare. As Anglo American Patriot Daniel Webster is quoted to us from 1823 "...If God and His Word are not known and received, the Devil and his works will gain the ascendancy." For vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. I will repay, sayeth the Lord.

[@Gweidemann]

@@robertblake1032 It took far more than "luck", for the settlers of this nation to carve a civilization out of a wilderness, sir. Storing up food and weapons is advised by survivalists, for us to prepare for potential disaster before disaster strikes, as you suggest. General Douglas MacArthur so insightfully said "There had never been a single precedent in history where nations subject to moral decay have not passed into political and economic decline. There either has been a spiritual awakening to overcome the moral lapse or a progressive deterioration leading to national disaster."

[@michelleg4346]

Spot on!

[@oDv.]

omg he's so smart.

[@Theseus9-cl7ol]

You were spot on with the last phrase of your speech Mr. Hanson, ......prophetic.

[@rodriffel6570]

VDH for president!

[@grantarnold1815]

Walk softly and carry a big stick!!!!!

[@michaelwoodsmccausland5633]

The Gentleman Scholar Farmer ! MWM

[@cpawp]

To which list of terms/ knowledge is VDH referring?

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Historical reality vs what you want to hear

[@dmonarredmonarre3076]

Deterrence is roundabout (Austrian School of Economics term for achieving long-term gains) Concessions is immediacy.

[@susanarsoniadou]

Deterrence works if there is CERTAINTY of punishment.

[@kzoo4053]

This is the second time I watched this video. Now I know whoever is behind Biden must watch it NOW!

[@kzoo4053]

But then they might disagree with what many of us think.

[@garybulwinkle82]

The forces behind Biden do not have America's best interests at heart! Since you don't know that, you have a lot to learn before you can even comprehend what is occurring. Ignorance is bliss!!

[@ruthgoldbergives6945]

How perverse is it that the major denominations - so-called Christian denominations in our country - affirm homosexuality, ordain homosexuals, ordain lesbians, marry men to men and women to women? Even the Quakers - and I quote - say, “Homosexuality is no more deplorable than left-handedness.” The Episcopalians have led the parade with a well-known bishop, for the whole of the United States of America, who is a sodomite. A local Methodist church not far from here, the pastor says, “A homosexual is welcome in this congregation and will have all the rights and privileges.” That’s hate speech. If you love that man, you’ll confront his sin and tell him about the gospel so his soul can be saved.

[@johnfranklin8319]

These people make a 3 minute statement before they ask a question!

[@kzoo4053]

I finally caught Dr Hanson making a mistake: he mentioned US M1 carbine but I know he meant to say M1 Garand rifle.

[@colemanadamson5943]

@53:45 the question asked is that of an appeaser. A.K.A. Coward....fool....or both. VDH gently tries to educate him on the nature of man which most believe is good.....WRONG. Man tends to one degree or another towards evil and that is a fact. VDH told him "humans are no damn good" and that is correct. Questions like that make my blood boil because I hate both cowards and fools.

[@richardsmith1799]

🎉This is why conservatism matters. Fantasists let monsters off the leash.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

An experiment in human nature: take a gaggle of 3 year olds. Put them in a room full of toys and snacks. Walk away. The point is that 3 year olds haven't been conditioned to not act in their own interests. Monitor but do not interfere.

[@wmffmw1854]

That did't go to well for the Morlock's once a High Tech Barbarian showed up in the neighborhood.

[@billhardaway8727]

Send to Thomas wessle

[@michaelbroadbent4639]

You should have kept your question short. There was no need for a diatribe. People were there to listen to Hanson.

[@stumorrow8835]

I agree with everything he says but have little idea of what he’s talking about

[@kevinweinberger8446]

How could we get the professor to run for the president of the United States?

[@GETJUSTICE4U]

Germany had the most advanced weapons in the world during WWII. They had produced the first cruise missiles (Doodle Bugs), the first supersonic missiles (rockets), the fleet of giant submarines that were automated to fire six massive torpedoes in less than half a minute. The largest calibre guns in the world and the first squadron of jet fighters, it took three US or UK tanks to take out a single Panzar. After the war ended thousands of Nazi scientists were taken to America along with all this technology. The "Gass Station Posing as a Country" defeated this technological superpower. It also put the first satellite in space, the first man in space, built the first space station all while cut off from the rest of the world. To lie/hide about these historical facts benefits only the 1% mega wealthy at the expense of every one else.

[@pieter5466]

17:38 the argument that Obama lost deterrence for America

[@N4bpp1]

When ever you listen to Dr. Hanson Orin person. Bring a dictionary .

[@hectorgarcia6098]

yoloquebeoudesgursedemaquonarasdeguerra

[@mikepotter5718]

The one thing Mr. Hansen left out was that "deterers" will always find a war to fight. The reason doesn't have to be valid they just end up in places like Vietnam or Afghanistan.

[@ZedRange]

Yes, that is unfortunately the downside... but it is as VDH would put it "better then the alternative" Reality never lets us relax...

[@jerryklooster438]

Hansen is a knowledgeable historian and a good public speaker. Unfortunately, some in our "youtube" society have elevated his stature, his significance, and his analysis of 21st century politics far above their rightful places in public discourse. He draws conclusions based on personal feelings masked in carefully selected facts, and has knowingly (or unknowlingly) become a shill for the neocons.

[@jonoon27]

Obviously Dr. Hansen is not a supporter or even likes presidents Carter and Obama but obviously a big supporter of Ronald Reagan, regardless of Reagan’s stupid logic and comments such as trees cause pollution and catsup is a vegetable. Too bad Carter and Obama are not there to have a chance to explain the reasoning behind their policies. Talking about one sided discussion and self righteousness.

[@ssebitaabawamala6861]

You are dangerous yourself

[@dannysullivan3951]

Weak right wing pundit. Who’s failing on deterrence right now? G.O.P. presidential candidates Trump and DeSantis.

[@juno1597]

Now with the privilege of hindsight we can understand that Dr Hanson was incorrect about his perspective of the future possible president administrations, with Trump being more passive than the Obama administration overall. It seems Dr Hanson is politically partisan and as it pains you're taking with a huge grain of salt.

[@goodmorning6827]

No doubt Hanson is a descent guy, nevertheless his conservatism is as tedious as every other form of conservatism.

[@davidtrindle6473]

RUSSIAN BOT WARNING

[@palois2022]

I dislike his commentary on POTUS's ability to "connect" with the average man. It's called charisma and con artistry. Trump wasnt a Republican, he was a Democrat. Trump appeals to the average man bc he speaks like a mobster from a movie which are very popular amongst these males. Stop acting as if dishonesty is fascinating. Jeez! It's called being duped. Obama won by bigger margins so plzzzz stop blowing smoke. All of these easy points. Deception from a liar cheater and a thief shouldn't be celebrated. Goodness!

[@JohnDoe-fu3lw]

At 4:08 Mr Hanson I feel is well aware of the true catalyst that caused Germany to go into czechoslovakia. Chamberlain did the right thing.

[@johnlohr5435]
