The Victor Davis Hanson Show
A Swing and a Hit: DOGE and Diplomacy

There's a lot of collateral damage with these drones and missiles that they fire back, just like the rush. Oh, no, the collateral damage doesn't matter. Don't you think we should have a ceasefire like we had imposed on Mr. Netanyahu? Oh, no, that would destroy the momentum. They have a complete set of different rules that they apply to Israel. Cease fire.

You've got to be democratic and schedule an election. We're going to try to overthrow your government when that happens. And... You have to be careful of collateral damage, etc., but not with Ukraine. Something is wrong here when you don't care about the people of Ukraine and to get a peace. And I think it has something to do in a nebulous way with the left's obsession with Putin.

And they think that the destruction of Putin, using the Ukrainians to destroy Putin will be the final. I know this sounds fantastic in the sense of mythical or crazy, but they do think it'll be the final blow. lever that they didn't have after Mueller's investigation collapsed, after the 51 intelligence authorities collapsed, after their beloved Christopher Steele collapsed.

They finally think they have a way to punish Trump-Putin. And the irony, of course, is that Putin fared worse under Trump than he did any of his appeasers.

As a general rule, I don't believe in red lines by anybody. And that was a thing on the hotel I'm in. Sorry about that. So when Obama gave a red line and said, if I see WMD moving around, he didn't do anything. Trump said that he was going to stop the war in the first day. You couldn't stop the war the first day. That was rhetorical excess.

When he said that by noon on Saturday, I knew what was going to happen. They were going to meter out some hostages to get by that deadline because they did believe that he was going to unleash the IDF or they were going to bomb or something. But in general, you shouldn't give any red lines unless you plan to meet them. And usually Donald Trump was pretty good.

When he said he was going to do something to Soleimani or Baghdadi, he did it. When he said he was going to bomb the SHIT out of ISIS, he did it. When he said he was going to corral Iran and maximum pressure, did it. So he's got to be very careful because the MAGA people, the MAGA agenda, they don't want to get into โ€“ on the ground in Gaza. They feel it's a hellhole. They can't stand Hamas.

They just want the Israelis to take care of it. And so what is he going to do to get the hostages? I mean, you can bomb the rubble more, right? Or you can send special forces to take out the Hamas, what's left of the Hamas leadership. But all they would be doing is asking the Israelis who they are. The Israelis know much better than we are. So basically you're saying to Netanyahu, do what you want.
