Summary

Is this America’s fight—or another case of allies sitting on the sidelines? Victor Davis Hanson breaks down President Trump’s Iran address, exposing the growing divide between U.S. leadership and Europe’s reluctance to act. From Reagan’s unwavering support of allies to today’s NATO double standards, the contrast couldn’t be clearer. Plus, Hanson dives into the Supreme Court’s looming birthright citizenship case—questioning whether the 14th Amendment is being stretched far beyond its original intent and what that could mean for America’s future.
