Victor Davis Hanson - And Then They Came After Us

I don’t quite agree with the title meme (from Martin Niemoeller statement that starts “First they came for the Communists, but I was not a Communist so I did not speak out,” and ends, “And when they came for me, there was no one left to speak out for me.”) - because, unlike those who were murdered by Hitler’s bunch - we still stand. (Excepting perhaps Spain, which essentially surrendered, and the Philippines, who did the same.)

But I agree completely with the subtitle, which is: “We’re at war. How about acting like it?” And the article itself is one of his best.
