The Left has spent every waking moment the last month trying to convince the public that the Trump administration’s so-called “war” in Iran isn’t legal.
But they keep running into the same problem: Historically, they did the same thing, and on a much larger scale, argues Victor Davis Hanson on part 1 of his examination of the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”
“The war is legal, and the hysteria about it is media-driven, as a part of the left's ability to weaken the presidency.”
(00:00) Is the War Legal?
(02:00) Libya and Afghanistan Comparisons
(04:40) Trump’s War Aims
(06:36) Regime Change Debate
(07:52) Military Wins vs Politics
