A Dream

I had a dream the other night that I was checking on my men at the siege line of a burning city. It was nighttime but the sky was illumined by White Phosphorous rounds going off all over the besieged area. Snow fell down, and the night that would otherwise have been cold, was warmed by the fires from across the Potomac. I dreamed of airstrikes and artillery landing in the ruins of that masonic town, pulverizing and melting flesh and stone like they were made of the same facile material. Men were fixing bayonets and arms were being checked and cleaned. I saw resilience and determination in their eyes. I dreamed a great dream that the final assault was coming and we would be victorious. I dreamed the future.

SOMEWHERE IN THE U.S. SOUTH — It was a choice to melt down Robert E. Lee. But it would have been a choice to keep him intact, too.

So the statue of the Confederate general that once stood in Charlottesville — the one that prompted the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in 2017 — was now being cut into fragments and dropped into a furnace, dissolving into a sludge of glowing bronze.

In Regards to an Invasion of Iran

Iran is not the same adversary of the 1980s which was fundamentally an unindustrialized, unstable, and basically organized state/military. It has since industrialized, consolidated, and advanced its technical capabilities to be a powerful adversary. An invasion in that terrain and among those capable people would be a nightmare which would inevitably be backed up by Russian, PRC, and DPRK forces (laugh all you want but they are no small matter). This is going to be a massive mistake and may undo America as a polity.

I strongly advise pushing back this war rhetoric on grounds of prudence alone.

This is such a ridiculous conflict.

"The victors were mistaken, for their victory by arms did not protect them from the crises that plagued them as a whole and which gave the post-war period its character. The term 'post-war' expresses what happened here. Even victory was undermined."

“Once in office, Milei will continue to talk tough on economics, but will prevent his country from joining BRICS, whereas the current administration had announced plans to have Argentina join it. Needless to say, this plays perfectly into the US agenda of keeping the nations of Latin America divided and under control. Milei also intends to steer away from increased cooperation with Brazil, which has been underway for some time now. Despite his statements in opposition to wokism and other manifestations of mental deficiency emanating from the heart of the Empire, Milei will prove a useful pawn in support of US imperial interests.”

Ukraine’s Decade of Descent

by Constantin von Hoffmeister

Excerpt:

The Ukraine that emerged post-Maidan bears little resemblance to its former self. Once a nation marked by a certain degree of development and self-sufficiency, it has since morphed into a shadow of its past, a territory in the midst of socio-political and economic chaos. The leadership that ascended in the wake of these tumultuous events — often derided as clowns, terrorists, and drug addicts — represents more than just a change in governance. It ushered in a radical departure from the country’s erstwhile path, a deviation that has left Ukraine bereft of true independence and reduced to a vassal state, perpetually reliant on...

Carl Schmitt: “To demand seriously of human beings that they kill others and be prepared to die themselves so that trade and industry may flourish for the survivors or that the purchasing power of grandchildren may grow is sinister and crazy.”
