For June and July we are reading Copse 125 by Ernst Jünger.
Let us know if you'd like to join the discussions, as people are busy and we have a few spots open. You can also comment or ask questions here, as some people have told me that they have a hard time understanding Jünger's philosophical commentary.

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 Russia’s 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. Russia’s 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 – 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 Russia’s threshold for economic pain is higher than the west’s, and it is probably right about that.
If proof were needed that sanctions are not working, then President Joe Biden’s 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.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 According to American experts, Biden sent only one HIMARS MLRS installation to Ukraine
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 “a 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 aren’t 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 weren’t having it.
“I won’t look at those photos,” said one woman before striding off. “I support Putin in all respects.”
An elderly man was equally dismissive: “No one is bombing Kyiv. I don’t believe it.”
A second woman acknowledged the invasion would probably bring sanctions and hardship but said, “I think Putin is a smart man and he knows what he’s doing…. This is what has to be done.”
When Western leaders clash with misbehaving nations, they’re often careful to declare that their grievance is with the country’s 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 Jupiter’s 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.

Tu-95 was an Extraordinary aircraft who's turboprop engine was designed by captured Junker engineers made it the fastest propeller driven aircraft in the world and was made to drop nuclear bombs into America from the Eastern theater.
CIA was terrified by it's appearance and it created a new front in Alaska much attention away from the European theater.
It is still used by the Russian airforce today and in Syria bombed the most major ISIS strongholds.

Russia 'threatens to strike the West' if it’s hit with US rockets
Russia could strike targets in the West if the country is hit with US rockets, the former prime minister has said.
Dmitry Medvedev, now Russian security council deputy chairman, sent the warning after America agreed to provide Ukraine with advanced rocket systems that can strike with precision at long-range Russian targets.
Medvedev told Al Jazeera: "If, God forbid, these weapons are used against Russian territory then our armed forces will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centres.
"Of course, it needs to be understood that the final decision-making centres in this case, unfortunately, are not located on the territory of Kyiv."
