Why is the White House 5 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,080 Speaker 1: reading Greek history? That's the question that was asked earlier 6 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: in the week in Politico. The real question is why 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: are the top advisors of the Trump administration UH sitting 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 1: around thinking about and discussing an ancient Greek historian named 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: Thucydites who wrote a seminal work about the Peloponnesian War. 10 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: Now this is not new that this historical work, which 11 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 1: is one of the most important tracts of military history 12 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 1: ever written. UH. It is taught frequently in international relations programs. 13 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: UH it is a sign and reading at the US 14 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: Army War College. Thucydides is one of those voices from 15 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: the past that has often brought forward to elucidate the 16 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: challenges of the present. And as you know, I am 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: fond of ancient Greek history and wish I could even 18 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: spend much more time both reading and studying it and 19 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,959 Speaker 1: then sharing with you on the show. Then I'm able 20 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: to at this point. But maybe one day in the 21 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: future there will be more fulsome deep dives on the subject. 22 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 1: But the White House right now is concerned with the 23 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: Peloponnesian War, and I wanted to give you some background 24 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: on it and then talk about what the lessons are 25 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 1: that they may be trying to draw from it, or 26 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 1: at least looking at the challenges and understanding UH the 27 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: historical impulses that pushed the leadership in UH fifth century 28 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: BC Greece, ancient Greece to make decisions that I think 29 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: a lot of people today would see and draw parallels 30 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: to any number of US conflicts in the recent past, 31 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: and just the realities of warfare. So the Peloponnesian War 32 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: is not as well known as say the War against 33 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: and outside of academic and military circles, as say the 34 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: War against Persian invaders. Because of movies like three hundred 35 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: and King Leonidas and the three hundred Spartans at the 36 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Hot Gates the Pass of Thermopoli, there are some pop 37 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: culture references to other ancient Greek conflicts. The movie with 38 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: Alexander the Great, which, as I understand it, and Colin 39 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Farrell starring as Alexander, was not particularly good um, but 40 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: you haven't seen a major theatrical production of the Peloponnesian War, 41 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: and I think that it would actually be a phenomenal 42 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: subject for such for such a Hollywood treatment, because if 43 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: you made this into a mini series, people would see 44 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: the very clear parallels to many of the problems we 45 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: face today and their problems that are timeless. Really you've 46 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: faced them all throughout history in matters of war and 47 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 1: politics and the realities there in. So the Peloponnese In 48 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: War is as I said, fifth century Athens, and it 49 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: stretches on for twenty seven years, from four thirty one 50 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: to four oh four BC, So this is cross generational. 51 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: It goes on for decades, and it pitted two mighty states, 52 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the mightiest states of ancient Greece, the most famous ones, 53 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: Athens and Sparta, against each other in what became a 54 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: death struggle, and it ended with Sparta besieging Athens, the 55 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: city state of Athens, and breaking it off from its 56 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: sea root as well destroying the long walls which were 57 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: barriers created between the city state of Athens and its 58 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: port of Paraeus, which was a couple of miles away, 59 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: and Athens was never the same really after this, So 60 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: it started out as a conflict that would have been 61 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: similar to many others in ancient Greece hoplight warfare, which 62 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: was only engaged in by citizens of the city state 63 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: who could afford the armor, the breastplate, the shield. In fact, 64 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: the shield known as a hop lawn is where we 65 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: get the term hoplight from hop lights were heavy armored infantry, 66 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: and that's what we generally think of shields locked interconnected 67 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,679 Speaker 1: and hop lights holding a spear uh and also having 68 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:55,159 Speaker 1: a a short sword for thrust ng um. But this 69 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: conflict between Sparta and Athens had been building for some 70 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 1: time and it quickly viral out of control. And to 71 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: really understand why people draw parallels between Athens and modern America, 72 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: for example, and it's fight with Sparta, which has been 73 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: viewed in the context of a Cold War paradigm, where 74 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 1: Sparta it's a land It was a landlocked power of 75 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:23,200 Speaker 1: militarism and oppression. In fact, the Spartans relied on a 76 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: vast army of slaves of Hellots to do the the 77 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: farm work and and to support this professional standing army 78 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: UH in Sparta. And to become a member of that 79 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 1: army you had to go through an incredibly rigorous school 80 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: that started in adolescence called the Agoge. So it's almost 81 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: like basic underwater demolition school for the Navy seals. You know, buds, 82 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: but it's buds that you would start when you were 83 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: a teenager and you never really got out of it. 84 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: Uh That Sparta has been viewed in the context of 85 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: trying to find a historical analogy today as a Cold 86 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: War enemy of Athens, or rather as a Cold War 87 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: parallel between Athens and Sparta, with Athens as the United 88 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: States and Sparta as the Soviet Union, major land power, 89 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: oppression totalitarian. Athens, of course, with a population a city 90 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: state population that was only really in the same hundreds 91 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: of thousands, you'd say, and and the entirety of the 92 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: Greek Peninsula should be noted, is the size of a 93 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: midsized US state. So this conflict was playing out predominantly 94 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: on what is a pretty small land mass. Although Athens 95 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: was also overseeing a vast empire at the time, it 96 00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: had city states that paid tribute to it. It was 97 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: a naval power again brings us back to the Cold 98 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: War US versus Soviet at paradigm, and it had really 99 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: vassal states that it could call upon UH from all 100 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 1: across the Mediterranean. So what we're to city states that 101 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: weren't really that large squaring off against each other also 102 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: brought in much of the ancient world through a battle 103 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: that went on for decades. The Peloponnesian War, of course, 104 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: is named for the Peloponnese, which is a peninsula separated 105 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: from the rest of mainland Greece by the Gulf of Corinth. 106 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: Those of you who are longtime members of Team buck, No, 107 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: the Gulf of Corinth is the scene of the Great 108 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: Battle of Lepanto between the Allied Ottoman forces and those 109 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: of Christian Europe in fifteen seventy one, an enormous naval 110 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: battle that we will have to revisit this fall on 111 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: its anniversary. UM. But I digress. So the Peloponnese was 112 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 1: the peninsula where you could find the ancient cities of Sparta, Argos, 113 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: and Corinth, among others. And that's part of what we 114 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: don't get in most of our reading about ancient Greece 115 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: is that there were other major city states Karnth, Thebes 116 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: that played a role in UH, not just the battle 117 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: or the Peloponnesian War. UM, but in ancient Greece's growth 118 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: and in the major the major battles, including against the 119 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 1: invading Persian hordes. UM. But without without question that two 120 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: major city states at the time were Sparta and Athens. 121 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: So you had two great powers of the period, including 122 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: Athens in all of its splendor, with its art. It's UH, 123 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: it's culture, it's democracy, which of course didn't mean everybody 124 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: got to vote. It just meant citizens, which was a 125 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: very a small percentage of the overall population were allowed 126 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: to vote. But ancient Athens, which is the cradle of 127 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: Western civilization, was squaring off against Sparta, a militaristic, totalitarian 128 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: really society, certainly authoritarian UH in what didn't seem like 129 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: it would be all that different from previous fights. There 130 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: would be UH city states would fight in and it 131 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: would be over the allegiance of another city state or 132 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: a relatively short term and UH minor in the historical scope, grievance. 133 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: But the Peloponnesian War, and by the way, it's thought 134 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: of as the Athenian War by others in it and 135 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: thucidities who's not just a great historian but was a 136 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 1: general in this war, was in Athens during one of 137 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: the plagues. So you're when you talk about the thucidities. 138 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons why he has 139 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 1: so much respect as a historian among military men of 140 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: today and and and honestly for many centuries, uh, is 141 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: that and he was read by he's read by all 142 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: the great military theorists and historians, is because he was 143 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: a practitioner as well as a great writer and historian. 144 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: He was a general who squared all against the Spartans. Uh. 145 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: He knew this warfare firsthand. He was there, he lived it, 146 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,080 Speaker 1: he was a part of it. So you get a 147 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: very particular view from Thucydites. And I highly recommend if 148 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: you are looking for gripping reading that you know is 149 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 1: written in historical narrative form, but is is true and 150 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: is accurate, just pick up the Peloponnesian War. But I 151 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 1: think when you look at the the historians and why 152 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 1: they try to draw from this for today and back 153 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 1: to our article about why the Trump White House is 154 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 1: having meetings according to this political piece where they discussed 155 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 1: just the history of ancient Greece, think about this, and 156 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: they have the top military and national security minds in 157 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: this administration are readers of foucidities are history buffs when 158 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: it comes to ancient Greece is because they they see 159 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: the uh this this great power conflict of the time. 160 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: There are similar dynamics, and in this case it may 161 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 1: be that the dynamic is between the US and China. 162 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,600 Speaker 1: In the past people said it was between the US 163 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: and the Soviet Union, and looking for similarities and points 164 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: of comparison. One part of the Peloponnesian War that is 165 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 1: so compelling, both as reading and as a means of 166 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: understanding how war and the politics around it really functions 167 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 1: and operates, is that it became quickly a total war. 168 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: It became a war of annihilation, of extermination of cities 169 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 1: of sieges that ended with the massacre of all inhabitants. 170 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: This had not been the standard operating procedure on the 171 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: Greek peninsula in the fifth century BC. But this war 172 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: quickly accelerated and it became not just a limited conflict 173 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: between a spartan military that besieged Athens for a period 174 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,840 Speaker 1: of time. Because remember they were these soldiers were on 175 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: a season that had to do with the harvest. There 176 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: was a limited campaigning season, and so usually conflicts were 177 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,959 Speaker 1: limited in scope. This became a total war on the 178 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 1: peninsula and across the Mediterranean. It even involved an expedition 179 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 1: to Syracuse in Sicily that was disastrous for the Athenians. 180 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 1: It stretched on for years and years. You had during 181 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:26,080 Speaker 1: this period Pericles, the most famous of all ancient Greek 182 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: Athenian leaders, give his funeral oration one of the most 183 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: famous speeches in all history. And when you see how 184 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: the decisions were made at the time, Uh, there was passion, 185 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: there was patriotism. There were fears about the annihilation not 186 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 1: just of a military force, but of the people back 187 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,359 Speaker 1: home if the military was unsuccessful. Uh. There was treachery, 188 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: there was backstabbing, there was betrayaled by different allies. All 189 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: of these different factors were brought together in a conflict 190 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: that was entire among people who spoke the same language, 191 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: roughly speaking, had the same culture. Uh. And you'd think 192 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: would be able to settle their differences in a way 193 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: that would have been much more amenable and much more 194 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: positive for both sides. But the Peloponnesian War is really 195 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: in the fifth century BC again, twenty seven years from 196 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: four thirty one to four or four BC, would be 197 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: better described as the Great Greek Civil War and it was, 198 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 1: as I said, a war that turned into total war, 199 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: war of annihilation and extermination. And uh, that's why people 200 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 1: also look at how did this happen, how did we 201 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: get how did they get to that point, and then 202 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 1: look for lessons for today in the context of the U. S. 203 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 1: China relationship. It's uh, I think a stretch to find 204 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: all that much of of a comparison right now, because 205 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: of many of the at economic ties that we have 206 00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: between the US and China, the distance between the two countries. 207 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: But people would say, in the Peloponnesian War, you had 208 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: battles waged far afield from Spartan and from Sparta and 209 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: Athens that were proxy battles, proxy wars. Well, they're certainly 210 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: could be similar situations between the US and China going 211 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: into the future. But the Peloponnesian War is a if 212 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: you're interested in ancient Greece at all, it is essential, 213 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 1: it is must reading, uh, and that the White House 214 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: is thinking about this, is talking to historians about it 215 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: and looking at it as a place for wisdom and 216 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 1: perhaps even some answers as to long term U. S. 217 00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: Foreign policy trajectory. I think they're looking for wisdom in 218 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 1: a in a smart place. I think that this is 219 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: a worthwhile endeavor for them. Uh. And I'm glad that 220 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 1: I was able to give you a little bit of 221 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: why the Peloponnesian War is of such interest and why 222 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 1: through Cyddes, the ancient Greek historian makes for such compelling reading. 223 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 1: By the way, if you want a more recent version 224 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: of this, A War Like no Other by Victor Davis 225 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: Hansen is a fantastic book and I highly recommend it. 226 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 1: We will hit a quick break here, team will be 227 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: right back.
