President Donald Trump is leading a “counterrevolution” of sorts when it comes to restoring order in America’s international relationships. Here’s the advice Victor Davis Hanson prescribes on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words”: “  We need to be very careful how we speak. The quieter we can be, the more effective and more encompassing can be the reforms. We're going to try to make sure that we're not an existential enemy of China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, and an array of anti-Western societies. “ As far as Ukraine, Donald Trump is under all sorts of criticism because he, at first, had a legitimate beef with [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy. … All he has to say is, ‘Vladimir Putin did not invade during my first term. He invaded during Barack Obama's term and Joe Biden's term. Even during George W. Bush's term he invaded. It wasn't I who got us into this mess. We cannot watch aimlessly and helplessly as 1.5 million lives are consumed by death, wounding, capture, missing—these casualties.’”
