He’s above top shelf. Vintage Stanford, when California was a conservative battery.
“VDH obviously has changed his mind, but what he said after the inauguration ... it is what it is.”
Why did you post this about VDH when the article shows what an extraordinary and brilliant conservative and American scholar he is? What did you hope to point out - that he is a hypocrite; that he is not as smart as people think? Why?
VDH’s ancient histories are excellent - backed up by his intimate knowledge of farming and what people back then went through as he is a farmer himself.
I agree with him about everything from about the 1930s maybe even the 1920s until now.
Yet he and I disagree about pretty much every single last thing from 1820 until the end of WWI.
Ukraine. The other wars were not wars of conquest to eliminate a nation.
Eliminate what nation? Stop listening to the disinfo. This is not the first step towards reconquering East Germany. Russia’s goal was to stop Ukraine’s western controlled oligarchs from joining NATO. Russia is in the process of leaving. Ukraine is still completely controlled by the oligarchs in DC. The United States’ stated goal from the president on down in Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and in Ukraine was and is regime change (regime change in Moscow as clearly stated by Biden). Russia is tremendously more justified in what it is doing than we had ever been in Vietnam, Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Quite honestly, if you’ll recall the 2 million plus Vietnamese or the million plus Arabs who died in our twenty year rampage through the Middle East, Russia is doing it with a much lighter touch than we did.
