"Generals are mostly energetic and stupid, which means they have a kind of active and calculating intelligence that any one of the best telephone operators possesses. Very rarely is there a union of energy and education, as in the likes of Caesar and Sulla, or as we saw in our own age in Scharnhorst and Prince Eugene. For this reason, generals are mostly stooges for hire.
Then there is Heinrich von Stülpnagel who is called “the blond Stülpnagel” to distinguish him from other generals in this old military dynasty. He exhibits princely qualities befitting his proconsular station. These include his appreciation of peace and quiet, of leisure, and of the society of a small intellectual circle. All this contrasts with the workings that are otherwise found in the higher echelons of the staff. His aristocratic character tends to judge people by their minds."
~ Ernst Jünger

"I had only one sorrow: that the news of the victory in the papers frightened me. The ranks of the German cavalry had already seen the towers of Paris; if this continued, what would be left for us? We still wanted to hear the whistle of bullets and experience moments that can be called the true baptism of men."
~ Ernst Jünger

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Since June, the largest state think tanks in the United States have been recording extremely pessimistic forecasts regarding the prospects for the development of the Ukrainian crisis. All of them are inclined to the inevitable defeat of the Kiev regime. In this regard, the pace of arms supplies to Ukraine in the near future will begin to decline sharply, up to a complete cessation. There are already statements by a number of representatives of Western states that the assistance provided to Kiev significantly devastates their arsenals, which undermines the security of these countries.

"A battle was no longer an episode that spent itself in blood and fire; it was a condition of things that dug itself in remorselessly week after week and month after month. What was a man’s life in this wilderness whose vapour was laden with the stench of thousands upon thousands of decaying bodies? Death lay in ambush for each one in every shell-hole, merciless, and making one merciless in turn. Chivalry here took a final farewell. It had to yield to the heightened intensity of war, just as all fine and personal feeling has to yield when machinery gets the upper hand. The Europe of today appeared here for the first time on the field of battle. . . ."

🇺🇦⚡War to the last Ukrainian is now official

The Ukrainian General Staff confirmed the ban for men of military age to travel outside their hometown/settlement without good reason.

This measure is being taken in order to reduce the number of evaders from the next wave of mobilization in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Old news apparently. From 2020.

"Every law requires an authority who watches and regulates its execution; but this power is lacking in the observance of international agreements. Acknowledgment of established rules does not secure adherence to these rules.
By the same token, no paragraph learned by heart will convince the soldier that he must see a lawful enemy in the unorganized populace which resorts to force of arms on its own initiative and from which his life is not secure for a moment, day or night.
Thus, not much weight should be attached to international agreements. What third power will resort to arms solely because one or the other of two belligerents has violated the laws of warfare? There is no earthly tribunal. Success is to be expected from the religious and moral education of the individual. It also stems from the sense of honor and justice of the leaders. They lay down the law and act accordingly as far as possible under the abnormal conditions of war, where everything must be considered individually."
~ Helmuth von Moltke

"Human life, even the entirety of human nature, is nothing but war of the future against the present."

"I believe that all governments are today honestly endeavoring to maintain peace. The only question is if they are strong enough to be able to do so."
