Strategic communication in conflicts involves warning the enemy about escalating consequences, such as targeting critical infrastructure or assets. However, there are self-imposed restrictions on such actions due to the potential negative media coverage and public backlash. Despite the effectiveness of certain deterrent actions, leaders may hesitate due to the ethical and humanitarian implications of causing widespread harm and suffering.
Victor Davis Hanson is a distinguished classicist, military historian, and prolific commentator on contemporary geopolitics. Hanson’s latest work, "The End of Everything: How Wars Descend into Annihilation," delves into the unsettling parallels between the conflicts of antiquity and our modern symptoms of decline. In today’s episode, we discuss the reverberations of the war in the Middle East, the merits of federalism, and the consequences of a possible Trump victory. As we navigate an era marked by rapid change and global uncertainty, Victor Davis Hanson's insights prove the enduring relevance of classical wisdom in today’s world.
