Germanic combined-arms tactics:
“On the whole, one would say that their chief strength is in their infantry, which fights along with the cavalry; admirably adapted to the action of the latter is the swiftness of certain foot soldiers, who are picked from the entire youth of their country, and stationed in front of the line.” —Tacitus, Germania

Real

I. We are liberating Ukraine - all of it, and not tearing it apart piece by piece. It's just immoral. What we are called to do is spiritual exorcism, the exorcism of the devil of globalism. And it must be carried out simultaneously over all of Ukraine and over all of Russia.

The liberated territories will not only have to “become part of”, but all of us, together with the Ukrainians must create a New State, a real Empire with a mission and Spirit, an Orthodox Kingdom.

II. And Ukraine - enlightened, cleansed and liberated - will be a subject there, and not poor relatives, who in the end, by popular demand, were attached somewhere.

Russia is about the Spirit and the End Times, about the Third Rome, and not about gas, the ruble value and some resources. All resources belong to God. And Russia belongs to Him and Ukraine. And if not to Him, then it will fall to the devil.

All countries understand that the question is being decided today: will the world order really be fair?

Or a small group of countries will be able to impose a colonial division of the world on those who consider themselves exceptional, and on the rest who are destined to fulfill the will of the chosen.

This was told by Sergey Lavrov.

Finland's President Sauli Niinisto and Prime Minister Sanna Marin held a press conference to formally announce Sunday their country wants to join NATO. "This is a historic day. A new era begins," Niinisto said. This after the two initially signaled Finland's intent to apply starting Thursday, and now the decision will await Finnish parliament endorsement, expected in the coming days, which is widely being seen as but a formality.

Crucially the announcement confirmed that Finland's large powerful neighbor Russia has been informed. "President Niinistö told President Putin how fundamentally the Russian demands in late 2021 aiming at preventing countries from joining NATO and Russia’s massive invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 have altered the security environment of Finland," a statement indicated.

Kissinger and other geopolitical leaders have expressed shock that Russia would ever attack the West. This casts doubt on anything they have to say on the current state of the war and Russia's goals – that is, if their positions are at all genuine and not just intelligence propaganda.

Even Reuters cannot call this what it is, a mass surrender.

"In civil war, the enemy no longer has any common concepts, and every concept becomes an encroachment on the enemy camp."
- Carl Schmitt, Theory of the Partisan

"Civil war is subject essentially to the jurisdiction of the enemy. Thus, civil war has a narrow, specifically dialectic relation to law. It cannot be anything other than just in the sense of being self-righteous, and on this basis becomes the prototype of just and self-righteous war."
- Carl Schmitt, Theory of the Partisan

"What's the worst Hungary or Turkey could do -- sue? Pull out? There was a lot of thought given toward banishing Turkey from NATO anyway -- especially after Erdogan bought Russian S-400 air defense systems from Russia three years ago.

Perhaps now is precisely the moment simply to stand up to these lone strongmen who have managed to burrow their way deeply into democratic institutions."

OUT NOW: 'Reforging Excalibur' by William S. Lind. 84 pages.

'Reforging Excalibur' is an exciting and unique proposal for restructuring America’s armed forces in order to better prepare us for Fourth-Generation warfare. After a withering critique of the bloat and waste of the Department of Defense and Pentagon’s “business as usual” attitude towards military spending, the authors disclose why this approach is unsustainable in terms of budget and combat readiness. In short, while our military is prepared to fight wars with other state militaries, it is woefully unprepared – psychologically and structurally – to succeed in Fourth-Generation warfare.
