"We Have Never Seen Anything Like This Before..." - Victor Davis Hanson

Victor Davis Hanson uses that line — 

“We have never seen anything like this before” 

In this video, Victor Davis Hanson, a distinguished historian and classicist, is known for his
deep analysis of military history, ancient civilizations, and contemporary political affairs.
As a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, he offers sharp insights into the lessons of history, the decline of empires, and the challenges facing modern society. Through his books, lectures, and public talks,
he explores the intersection of history, politics, and culture.

— When he’s describing a moment in American history where every major institution is shifting at the same time, creating a kind of political and cultural pressure the country wasn’t designed to handle. And he’s not talking about just one issue.

 Hanson usually means the stacking of crises all happening simultaneously: prosecutors targeting political rivals, the border collapsing under waves of illegal entry, cities unable to enforce basic law and order, universities captured by ideological activism, the media losing credibility, and a government apparatus that seems to protect one political faction while punishing another. In his view, what makes this moment unprecedented is not each issue by itself — America has seen corruption, riots, bad elections, and political trials before — but the fact that all of them are happening at once, feeding each other, and being normalized as if it’s the new American baseline.

 Hanson’s warning is that the republic can survive one institutional failure, even two, but when the judiciary, the executive branch, the media, education, and public trust all collapse together, the nation enters territory where the Founders assumed citizens and leaders would never allow themselves to go.

BBC report reveals total devastation in Gaza as anger grows over UK role

A BBC News report described the devastation across Gaza, showing how little remains of the territory after two years of Israeli bombardment. BBC report reveals total devastation in Gaza as anger grows over UK role  The Gaza once known from maps and memories no longer exists, in Shejaiya, a flat expanse of rubble stretches into Gaza City, leaving the area unrecognizable compared to the vibrant urban landscape it once was. The report recalled a city that had been filled with parks, avenues, traffic jams, cafés, and villas along the coast — all now destroyed. Critics have expressed anger that UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer continued to assert Israel’s right to defend itself while footage showed Gaza being flattened. Reports have also emerged that the UK carried out more than 500 surveillance flights over Gaza, gathering detailed images and video of the territory, indicating the government was fully aware of the scale of destruction and atrocities on the ground.
