Victor Davis Hanson's 'If Iran Cracks' outruns a whole Daily Signal day
The classicist's tour of a shifting world order, from Tehran to Greenland, is moving about sixty-five times faster than a usual debut on the conservative news channel.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 1,349,824 views a day, 65 times a normal first day on this channel (20,857).
Victor Davis Hanson: If Iran Cracks, the World Will Never Be the Same
"Victor Davis Hanson: If Iran Cracks, the World Will Never Be the Same" is barely a day old, and it is already the busiest thing on The Daily Signal, the Washington conservative news outlet's channel.
A new upload there usually opens at around twenty thousand views a day. This one is running at roughly sixty-five times that pace. On its own, it has gathered about as many views as the entire channel normally draws across everything it has posted in a single day.
Hanson is a classicist and military historian, a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution, and the author of books on war and history such as "Carnage and Culture." This time his subject is the present. The description casts Iran as the pivot of a changing global order and suggests that a collapse in Tehran could rank among the most consequential shifts since the fall of the Berlin Wall. From there the conversation widens to Russia, China, Latin America and, a little unexpectedly, Greenland.
