Comment on the Martin Sellner and Joel Davis discussion. Basically this is an outline of the world order and the conditions of this war. This gives us a better view than that of legality or competing ethno-states which do not have power. If one wants to argue for national sovereignty or an ethno-state it has to be from within this order. These conditions give shape to and limit national power, without confronting them they can never be overcome.

First of all, Ukraine lost the war in 2014. This was a mixed state of war with America/NATO which subverted the law and sovereignty of the country. To control the law, to give shape to order is the essence of war, it is a conflict of the existential, the nomos. Where this is lost, the war is lost – no matter if atomic weapons are used or subversion through tv-democracy erodes the national character. The streaming of sitcoms and news into the communications of another nation is precisely the same tactic as that of special police forces blasting Metallica into the Waco compound. To join NATO is to accept its existential qualities, whether through military or psychological raid.

Discussing this on the ground of the international clown court only allows America to determine all possible limits of discussion – limits that have been set out in advance by psychological warfare programs. European international law ended in the 1870s and the World Wars were final national struggles to maintain sovereignty and reestablish law. Since then there has been an intensification of the world duality and a push for unity. There are no sovereign nations anymore, and no ethnostates, so rationalizing from such positions does not matter at all. In the eyes of NATO, Ukraine is nothing more than a staging ground to reach out its tentacles and try to latch onto the Behemoth. It is a non-space.

For these reasons, and the fact that Ukraine began before a decisive outcome in Syria, the Middle Eastern conflicts do not constitute revenge. America launched its world war in 2001 – and perhaps 1991 or 1948 would make even more sense as starting dates. All of these conflicts have been part of a single overall strategy by America to isolate Russia and skim off its hide through a world war of attrition. All other spaces are simply a staging ground for nuclear weapons, nuclear defenses, industrialisation, neutralisation, mass mobilisation, and routes of infiltration. From such a viewpoint the nation is little more than a highway system. This applies even to China, which is only a factor because it was developed into the interconnector of the East.

What is most important in understanding this war is that it is a conflict that has developed for two-hundred years, Tocqueville brilliantly saw it in the 1830s. At that early date, he outlined the most simple law of the world conflict: only these two forces grow, and they do so with an easy stride. America has lost both its growth and its stride – it is in the midst of existential catastrophe.

The question of China is largely incidental, but one can say if it does come to power then it has to become the bearer of its own growth, and give order to it. This would require a revolution equal to all the pressures of its industrial pact with America. For this reason it remains a possible weak point for the Eastern defense.

Rising tensions between 2 of NATO's biggest militaries are driving fears of the first war between alliance members

Greece and Turkey are two of NATO's oldest members, joining together in 1952, but their relationship and the tensions between them predate the alliance, and membership has done little to ease their disputes.

In recent years, ties between Athens and Ankara have deteriorated to the point that some believe a war could break out between them.

The countries occupy strategically important territory in southeastern Europe, and they field two of NATO's biggest militaries, making the stakes of a potential clash much higher.

Hyperinflation could cause worst economic crisis since WWII, Elliott Management warns

The global economy is at risk of crippling hyperinflation and “extraordinary” conditions that could prompt the worst financial crisis since World War II, according to major hedge fund Elliott Management.

Elliott Management, led by famed billionaire investor Paul Singer, warned clients that extreme conditions present in the current economic landscape have “made possible a set of outcomes that would be at or beyond the boundaries of the entire post-WWII period,” according to a letter obtained and published Wednesday by The Financial Times.

The letter also cautioned that economies around the world are “on the path to hyperinflation” — a term referring to uncontrollable acceleration in the cost of daily necessities.

While hyperinflation is not inevitable, Elliott said it would cause “global societal collapse and civil or international strife” if it does occur.

🇨🇳 It is necessary to concentrate all efforts on military affairs.

"The world is undergoing epoch-making changes more and more rapidly. It is necessary to concentrate all efforts on military affairs, to rapidly improve the skills of our troops in waging a victorious war. It is necessary to strengthen the comprehensive training of the armed forces and ensure their readiness for combat operations" (c) Chinese President Xi Jinping
War is a feature of human history, an event constantly encountered in it. Moreover, according to generally accepted conceptions, precisely war and revolution make history. Practically all known states were created by wars or emerged in the course of military campaigns. Wars laid the basis for practically all historically existing elite groups.

I noticed only a succession of cruel splendours whose very movement requires that I die; this death is only a dazzling consummation of all that was, a joy in existing that all that comes into the world has: to the point at which my own life requires all that exists, in all places, ceaselessly develops and annihilates itself...

I imagine myself covered in blood, broken but transfigured and in accord with the world, at once like a prey and like a jaw of time which kills and is killed ceaselessly.

The greatest spirit includes and surpasses action. Cyrus raises the lowest men into centaurs. Beating a man into the ground would simply make him another Thersites.

But always in quarrels threatening to become matters of war, every effort should be made to settle the dispute through conference, and only as a last resort through battle. Tully and Vegetius both advance this opinion, the former in Moral Duties, and the latter in his book on The Art of War. And as in medical treatment everything is tried before final recourse is had to the knife or fire, so when we have exhausted all other ways of obtaining judgment in a dispute, we may finally turn to this remedy by single combat, compelled thereto by the necessity of justice.” - Dante, De Monarchia
