Comments on the Normandy landings: “If you want to win a battle you must first decide whether you want to fight it operationally or tactically. An operational approach equals movement; nothing other than allowing the enemy to approach and then grabbing him in the open field and beating him with the old, proven methods. We would have been well suited for such a solution. Unfortunately, the proponents of this solution overlooked the fact that the enemy’s overwhelming air superiority made movement virtually impossible, and therefore operations were not possible. The operational solution was completely untenable.
Victory could have been achieved tactically by layering the defense in depth at the anticipated landing site and keeping the reserves close by on a broad front to thrust automatically and immediately at the first landing attempts. Tactical logistics operations would have to be secured within air defense corridors. Operational moves would have to be reduced to a minimum.” —Hermann Balck, Order in Chaos

Note: About Stoltenberg's "He wanted less NATO on his borders.
And launched a war. Now he is getting more NATO on his borders. And more members."
We note that, Russia would have gotten 'more NATO and more members' at its borders anyway, just further East. Now Belarus and Ukraine are off the table and out of reach for NATO.

"All world-improvers are Socialists. And consequently there are no Classical world-improvers."

- Oswald Spengler, The Decline of the West

Demagoguery and utopian ideas are inherently un-aristocratic and anti-traditional. No great man ever asked for approval to conquer. They did not waste time arguing 'their side' and daydreaming about idealized scenarios. Empires are built by the sword. The praxis of great men is violence.

Debate over Canadian flag resumes as convoy protests return to Ottawa

Victor Crapnell remembers the uneasy feeling he had watching the Freedom Convoy protests unfold in his hometown of Ottawa in February. The feeling came as he saw the red and white maple leaf on Canada's flag standing out against the snowy backdrop.

The Victoria resident says seeing the image of the flag displayed so prominently, one some occasions alongside Confederate and even Nazi flags, stirred up emotions he says he never usually associated with the country's most recognizable symbol.

"It sort of hit home to me that our beautiful flag had been hijacked as their symbol of protest," Crapnell said. "And I thought, 'That's not right.'"

"A people is never represented in any other way than it can be represented and deserves to be represented. There is a reciprocal bond between the totality and its representatives which is of strict necessity. The demand of democracy, which emphasises the responsibility of the leaders towards the people, is therefore one-sided. For the people are also responsible for their leaders, and have always been made responsible for them. War, however, is not a mechanism which is waged by those who are dear to the people and take responsibility for it. It is a fateful process which penetrates into the communities and moves them like the tides. And furthermore, it is natural like the relations of the sexes, the circulation of the blood, and the movements of the stars – which is why it can neither be good nor evil in itself. A strong life grasps it, affirms it and takes pleasure in it; a weak life seeks to withdraw from it and deny it, because inner fear demands such a denial."
~ Friedrich Georg Jünger

Canadian Will Bird’s “Ghosts Have Warm Hands”

"Superstition is a common element in the experience of warfare. Some soldiers left accounts of premonitions of death that came true, or of Bibles or prayer books that stopped bullets. Many worried about jinxes that might bring them closer to death, or used some form of good luck charm to ward off injury. Others lent credence to popular tales of supernatural manifestations, such as the celebrated “Angels of Mons” who supposedly appeared over the skies of Belgium to assist hard-pressed English soldiers in fighting off a German attack in 1914. After the war, distraught parents, including English author Arthur Conan Doyle, investigated spiritualism as a means of reconnecting with their lost loved ones.

Amid all of these tales and anecdotes, Canadian soldier Will Bird’s story is unique. A member of the 42nd Royal Highlanders, or Canadian Black Watch, he participated in several major battles on the Western Front from 1916-1918. Throughout these experiences he felt the presence of his younger brother Stephen, who had managed to get to the front before Will and had been killed in action in 1915. On one occasion, Will was certain that his brother saved his life."
