You have been accustomed to thinking of patriotism and war as being totally opposed to anarchism, which caused so many lives to erupt, in the struggle for greater freedom.

I declare that these two apparent opposites, the collective and the individual, are closely bound together. Is not the development of the collective, in reality, the result of the efforts and initiatives of many individuals? This is how the prosperity of a nation is shaped, out of the antagonisms and the conformities of the multiple organisms in which it is made.

In the same way, the industrial and military rivalries that develop between different nations are a necessary factor in human progress.

A strong nation can contain, at one and the same time, droves of people intoxicated with patriotic enthusiasm and the wholly insensitive, thirsting for rebellion! They represent two different outlets for the self-same instincts of courage, power and energy. - F.T. Marinetti, The Necessity and Beauty of Violence

Ernst Jünger's predictions for war in the 21st century.

"Regarding the fate of man, particularly as a state-forming, political being, various prognoses are possible, including the following:

1. There will be great destruction. The machine is smashed or comes to a standstill, be it by wars or in other ways. There is a lack of means, perhaps even the inclination, to rebuild it. The Veil of Maya has shifted. A greatly diminished population, with new ideas and a different economy, appear as post-catastrophic beings. They are more powerful, more natural, because the eradication has affected precisely those areas where homo faber has shown itself most sharply. It has, as so often repeated in natural history, led itself ad absurdum by hypertrophic armaments. This prospect is the least likely.

2. World unity is constituted by treaties, whether by peaceful agreement, under coercion, or both at once. This requires a supreme body. This can be achieved:

a) By rationalisation in the form of consolidation: The states renounce part of their sovereignty. They are dismantled in favour of society, the societas humana. Armies become police forces and the major combatants will manage world divisions. Like gold, they are stored in depots without appearing de facto, and guarantee order existentially. Competition is eliminated in the field of war as well as in economics. Forms and means are perfected, state plans are replaced by earth and cosmic plans.

b) By a third world war without comprehensive consequences, outlined above. A power remains in possession of sovereignty and the appropriate equipment. It cedes parts of it as it sees fit. It must remain a state. In World War I the monarchies were eliminated, in World War II the nation states were eliminated, and in World War III one of the great continental spaces will remain. The order thus achieved would be weaker than that achieved by evolution, and the risk would be enormous.

c) Through overexertion. Increased repetition and internal weakening interact in such a way that machine parts wear out or explode. Pressure, suppression, propaganda, spending on armaments to the detriment of the standard of living, threats, panic, unrest – all these would kill one or more partners and eliminate them from competition. The great slogans lose traction. The result is a more or less emphatic pénétration pacifique. In principle, all wanted the same thing. Force works from the forward pressure, from the future result.There lies the unity of the process, not in understanding. The wisest ideology is not the best, but that which follows the earth's current most easily, harmonizes with it.

d) By gaining position. Here warfare, like chess, approaches the pure acts of intelligence. The commander recognises his strategic superiority and deduces the consequences, as in some Renaissance trading. The best positions are tangential, flanking – in principle: falling out of the system. They lie outside the contested object."

Ukraine war: British troops must prepare to fight in Europe once again, says new head of Army

Russians intervened in every aspect of China since 1949. In the 1950s, the Russian Communists helped China build more than 250 large industrial enterprises and other facilities.

The USSR contributed to the creation of aviation, radio-electronic, automobile and other key branches of Chinese industry. More than 10,000 Russian specialists worked in China in various fields of the economy, education, and culture (not counting the military), and in the USSR more than 11,000 Chinese received diplomas of higher education. One must understand that there were no such specialists in China before.

Moscow also provided Beijing with 11 preferential long-term loans. Both sides took similar positions on regional conflicts (i.e. during the Korean War) and the deterioration of relations can only be blamed on Khrushchevite revisionism.

Trenchocracy is the aristocracy of the trenches. It is the aristocracy of tomorrow! It is the aristocracy in action. It comes from the depths. Its "quarterings of nobility" are a splendid blood red. On its coat of arms one may depict a Friesian horse, a trench pit and a hand grenade.

Launching a grenade is a most brilliant exercise, even when it blows up in your hand and forces you to consider that perhaps it was made by a negligent draft-dodger.

In 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a team of Canadian troops in the arctic discover a crashed plane containing three Soviet soldiers with superhuman abilities. The Canadian forces take them back to base for examination by government scientists but the soldiers later break free and kill many of the troops stationed in the north before fleeing into the wilderness. Fifty years later, a team of Canadian military and scientists, including Dr. Malraux, and Dr. Lobokoff, discover the super soldiers buried beneath the Arctic ice. Malraux explains to the group that the Soviet soldiers were genetically modified by political extremists during the Crisis in 1962 using aid from a captured Nazi scientist and their original mission was to carry out a terrorist attack on New York City with the intent of triggering World War 3. While examining the bodies the scientists discover to their amazement that the soldiers are still alive and gradually regenerating.

Imperial Japanese song - 愛国行進曲
(Patriotic March)

Ancient warriors interest in horses was necessitated for maneuvering while being heavily armed. For them, horses were substitutes for their own two feet. What is more, depending on circumstances, their horses could also be wounded or killed. Although animals, Samurai were overcome by pity and took care to feed and groom them attentively.

As for interest in horses these days, people think the idea is to buy intractable horses at bargain prices and retrain them, or pick out country-bred colts and train them, then wait for bidders, to sell them for high prices. This is the mentality of traders; it is worse than having no interest in horses at all.
