"The term bipolar comes across as almost too neutral confronted with the hostile tension like that of world dualism, because polarity is a concept coming from the natural sciences, and political enmity between humans signifies something other than a chemical or physical polarity."

"If one can regard the legion as a machine, as a mobile barricade of shields and weapons of assault supported on both flanks by horsemen and catapults, then the entire nature of ancient military technology becomes apparent in the assault on the most significant symbol of security, that is, in the assault on the city walls. We possess a wealth of historical accounts portraying in great detail how cities were besieged with tortoise formations, covered battering-rams, scorpions,40 rolling turrets, and inclined planes. It is as if these fascinating accounts depicted a clash of demons or of fabulous creations from an extinct animal world. In these spectacles of battle, we lose sight of the fact that we are dealing with human beings; the skillful organization and logical facility at work divert the eye from personal fortunes. Man appears more invulnerable when lodged in rolling vehicles, and this did not fail to intimidate those under attack."

"Roman discipline, brought to the peninsula by the Scipios, domesticated the Spaniards of that time, who, like those of today, were as brave as they were frenetic. Scipio รmilianus was chaste at a time when, according to Polybius, the victory over Perseus of Macedonia had infected the Romans with sensuality and made them discover homosexuality. Scipio รmilianus was impartial and generous. โSuch generosity,โ Polybius also tells us, โdeserves admiration everywhere, but especially in Rome, where no one willingly gives up what is his.โ Polybiusโs text demands a scrupulous commentary, because one of the secrets of why Rome became Rome becomes apparent in it. Scipio รmilianus was a great general. He restored the gravely demoralized Roman army. He was serious and kind. He neither sought power nor turned away from it. He was assassinated, of course."

"Let us now come to the fact of war and the experience of heroism. Both, we have claimed in our previous writings, are instruments of awakening. An awakening, however, of what? War, experienced, determines a first selection; it separates the strong from the weak, the heroes from the cowards. Some fall, others assert themselves. But this is not enough. Various ways of being heroes, various meanings, can arise in heroic experience. From each race, a different, specific reaction must be expected.
Let us ignore this fact for now and follow instead the โphenomenologyโ of the awakening of race determined by war, that is, the various typical modalities of this awakening, working theoretically on the distinction which has just been made (โrace of natureโ and โsuperraceโ) and practically on the concrete aspect, that is to say the fact that, since it is no longer specialised warlike elites but masses which face war, war therefore to a great extent concerns the mixed, bourgeois, half-degraded type, whom we have described above as a product of crisis.
To put such a product of crisis to the test of fire, to impose upon him a fundamental alternative, not theoretical, but in terms of reality and even of life and death: this is the first healthy effect of the fact of war for race. Ignis essentiae, in the terminology of ancient alchemists: the fire which tests, which strips to the โessenceโ." โ Julius C. Evola, Metaphysics of War.

US military hackers conducting offensive operations in support of Ukraine, says head of Cyber Command
"US military hackers have conducted offensive operations in support of Ukraine, the head of US Cyber Command has told Sky News.
In an exclusive interview, General Paul Nakasone also explained how separate "hunt forward" operations were allowing the United States to search out foreign hackers and identify their tools before they were used against America.
Speaking in Tallinn, Estonia, the general, who is also director of the National Security Agency (NSA), told Sky News that he is concerned "every single day" about the risk of a Russian cyber attack targeting the US and said that the hunt forward activities were an effective way of protecting both America as well as allies."

Russia is winning the economic war and Putin is no closer to withdrawing troops from Ukraine.
From The Guardian:
The sanctions have had the perverse effect of driving up the cost of Russiaโs oil and gas exports, massively boosting its trade balance and financing its war effort.
When the EU announced its partial ban on Russian oil exports earlier this week, the cost of crude oil on the global markets rose, providing the Kremlin with another financial windfall. Russia is finding no difficulty finding alternative markets for its energy, with exports of oil and gas to China in April up more than 50% year on year.
When the global movers and shakers met in Davos last week, the public message was condemnation of Russian aggression and renewed commitment to stand solidly behind Ukraine. But privately, there was concern about the economic costs of a prolonged war.
These concerns are entirely justified. Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine has given an added boost to already strong price pressures. As a result of the war, western economies face a period of slow or negative growth and rising inflation โ a return to the stagflation of the 1970s.
From the start, the Russian president has been playing a long game, waiting for the international coalition against him to fragment. The Kremlin thinks Russiaโs threshold for economic pain is higher than the westโs, and it is probably right about that.
If proof were needed that sanctions are not working, then President Joe Bidenโs decision to supply Ukraine with advanced rocket systems provides it. The hope is that modern military technology from the US will achieve what energy bans and the seizure of Russian assets have so far failed to do: force Putin to withdraw his troops.
Putin is not going to surrender unconditionally, and the potential for severe collateral damage from the economic war is obvious: falling living standards in developed countries; famine, food riots and a debt crisis in the developing world.

Retired US Army Colonel Douglas McGregor, in an interview with Tucker Carson, said that the HIMARS MLRS, which Biden spoke of, will go to Ukraine in one copy with six shots for her.
He also believes that the United States lost the war to Russia, and the Biden administration has always been โa few steps behind. And now they are looking for a way to continue this war for as long as possible.

Tired of Ukraine conflict shilling on both side but wanna know what the hell is going on? The Austrian general staff has made some autistically neutral commentary of the conflict available in English. Austria is not a NATO member and maintains Military neutrality constitutionally so while the brief is nato style and most service members will be familiar Austria arenโt bound to NATOs info war so they can just tell the truth. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RpC1kXhW2Lw

'Not only Putin's war': Why some say the Russian people are also culpable for the Ukraine conflict
When a reporter for the CurrentTime TV channel asked Russians in March about the war in Ukraine, she tried to show them pictures of the destruction wrought by their troops.
They werenโt having it.
โI wonโt look at those photos,โ said one woman before striding off. โI support Putin in all respects.โ
An elderly man was equally dismissive: โNo one is bombing Kyiv. I donโt believe it.โ
A second woman acknowledged the invasion would probably bring sanctions and hardship but said, โI think Putin is a smart man and he knows what heโs doingโฆ. This is what has to be done.โ
When Western leaders clash with misbehaving nations, theyโre often careful to declare that their grievance is with the countryโs authoritarian government, not its downtrodden people.
But as Russia prosecutes a brutal war of aggression against its neighbour, it seems less than clear if that equation applies.

"The Act of Indemnity and Oblivion not only had the form of a pardon but criminalized the discussion of deeds and crimes committed under the Interregnum."
~ Note from Carl Schmitt's Amnesty
This is the right response to crime and war. It is not that the citizen denies what is happening, but a recognition that a higher state of law is enacted through war. Civil or case law does not apply, there is a separate realm created apart from criminality.
One can even see how such a distinction limits brutality, as democratic citizens are often the source of calls for liquidation, the blood plague which criminalizes enemy civilians - even more than the soldiers. English civilians calling for the elimination of German women and children in World War One is an example of this intense judgement from below, and it represents, rather than military justice, the violence of the lowest types: starvation and exile of an entire nation.

Rome as a society was geared towards one thing, raising armies to expand their IMPERIUM, to plant Jupiterโs Eagle on all the lands of the world. How can such a society be defeated by a nation whose drive in life is making more money. The Carthaginian army under Hannibal of course was a product of martial genius, and fundamentally separated from the money-making spirit of Carthage proper. This martial vigour is what granted them their victories over the Romans, but the Carthaginian state itself did not have the Will to sustain a serious war effort, which so went against their nature. Hannibal would have been a good Roman.
