Julius Evola's article in honor of Kamikaze pilots that I translated into English from the Italian article “Roma” that he wrote on the 11th of December 1957:

Many readers will already know who the Kamikaze were. This name was given to those Japanese aviators who in the last war with a load of explosives threw themselves together with the aircraft on enemy ships to blow them up. Much has been said about these "death volunteers", now with admiration, now with horror. 

But the full meaning of this initiative has not always been grasped, indeed unprecedented in history: because this is the first case of a systematically studied and organized tactic involving the certain death of the combatants, applied not in sporadic cases, near forms of exaltation. heroic individual, but for a long time and with a properly trained special corps.

MOSCOW, October 23. /TASS/. The situation in Ukraine was the focus of telephone talks between Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, the second ones in the past three days, the Russian defense ministry said on Sunday.

"Telephone talks between Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergey Shoigu and US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The two defense ministers discussed the situation in Ukraine," the ministry said.

The two defense chiefs spoke over the phone on Friday. The call was initiated by the US side.

Earlier in the day, Shoigu spoke over the phone with his British, French and Turkish counterparts, Ben Wallace, Sebastien Lecornu and Hulusi Akar, to convey Russia’s concerns over possible provocations with the use of a dirty bomb in Ukraine.

The topic of Ukraine’s nuclear blackmail was raised by Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, who said earlier that Kiev has planned to make a dirty bomb of the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant.

"Here lies the secret as to why one and the same generation was able to come to apparently contradictory conclusions: to be shattered to pieces in the war, or to be blessed, through the close proximity to death, fire, and blood, with health as had never been experienced before. The Great War was fought between not only two groups of nations, but also two epochs, and in this sense there are both victors and vanquished within our country."

"I don't agree with the assessment that Russia has already lost the war because they didn't sweep through with a victorious Blitzkrieg. It's possible for it to reach the point where it would become a Pyrrhic victory for Russia to topple the Zelensky regime, but I don't see it as near that point at all. For that to happen, the NATO involvement would have to escalate to the point where it is no longer just a proxy war."

I don't think there can be any doubt that what America wants is for Russia to push so that another front can be opened up on the world stage. Otherwise, a mistake would serve the same function. The aggressive and reckless actions are precisely for this reason (and of course Ukrainians are just pawns to NATO). "Appear strong when you are weak." Given this, a real sign that Russia has been weakened would be the opening of another front. Iran has been fermenting for a long time now, that it or another location has not been attacked indicates that America/NATO has not achieved its aims in Ukraine. As well, if there were another attack in a new region at this point an extreme degree may indicate desperation.

As Schmitt said, the American law of war is neutrality in principle and presence in practise. This is intensified to the highest degree in this war, which is without question a world war. It will continue until a new spatial order is established – either the Leviathan or Behemoth will perish.

The other aspect is nuclear deterrent. On the cognitive warfare front there is a gigantic force which criminalizes Russia, even as America conducts nuclear testing. But seen from the East, the Leviathan is wounded and presents the danger of all wounded creatures: one does not want to be smothered and choked by the tentacles on the way down. Russia could face nuclear assault itself if it mounted a full attack.

In both cases, Parthian retreat is an essential tactic and strategy. And this tactic is fundamental, absolute in the atomic era of war – jets dominate the skies, submarines the seas, and nuclear weapons are hidden beneath the earth itself. They are submerged in the potential ruins like the old kings buried in the foundations of cities. This is the meaning of Dead Hand – one can still move from a position of total defeat. The nuclear defense is a response to absolute criminality and surrender in international law, and it changes warfare immeasurably.

Putin — who has jailed critics and rivals — took a nonsensical detour in his major foreign policy speech to rail against 'cancel culture'

The Western champions of liberalism and progress have slipped into banning [Fyodor] Dostoevsky and [Pyotr Ilyich] Tchaikovsky," Putin said via a live English translator, referring to a Russian novelist and composer, respectively.

"The so-called cancel culture is basically a cancellation of culture that annihilates everything that is alive and creative. It stunts the growth of free thought in economy, politics, and culture," Putin continued. "The very liberal ideology itself has today changed beyond recognition."

The Russian leader went on to blast Western liberals for what he claimed was their ability to strip freedoms of people who have an opposite view point, and said that attitude is reflected on Russia, too.

"Right now, they've bridged an absurd situation when any alternative point of view is declared to be a subversive propaganda and a threat to democracy," Putin said. "Whatever comes from Russia, well, it's all the Kremlin's doing, but they should look at themselves first."

Putin: ‘New world order’ will compensate for Russia’s losses in Ukraine war

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine will “accelerate” the inauguration of a “new world order based on law and justice” in which economic and political gains will justify the losses sustained thus far, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“We're facing a historic milestone,” Putin told the Valdai Discussion Club in a Thursday address. “Ahead of us is possibly the most dangerous, unpredictable, and, at the same time, crucial decade since the end of the Second World War.”

Putin took the stage against a backdrop of international anxiety about the risk of nuclear escalation in Ukraine and domestic Russian anger that a series of Ukrainian successes forced the Kremlin to send unprepared connoscripts to the front lines. Putin insisted that “a flare-up” of some sort “would have happened regardless of how Russia could have acted in Ukraine” due to a purported decline in Western power and maintained that his policies would “accelerate” that process.

“Yes, there are some issues — I refer to the losses incurred due to the special military operation — and I always say that, yes, there are economic losses, but there are also enormous acquisitions,” Putin said through an interpreter. “What is happening, indubitably, in the end — I emphasize that — in the end, will benefit Russia and its future. Why is that? Because it’ll help reinforce our sovereignty in all domains, and in particular, in the economic field.”
