He may be a son of a bitch, but he’s our son of a bitch. — Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Takes one to know one,” as the old saw goes. FDR’s “our son of a bitch” reference, which some say is apocryphal, was to Anastasio Somoza García, the President of Nicaragua from 1937 to 1956. (more…)

There is nothing that I write or say that will alter events in Ukraine. Additionally, I have no real inside knowledge of events on the ground. This entire article is based on what I’ve read in the press, at The Institute for the Study of War, and in unclassified Rand Corporation reports. Nonetheless, I still think I’ve got a solid understanding of the situation. (more…)

Few things are as mentally refreshing as looking at the world from a completely different perspective — to see things through the eyes of someone you don’t like and don’t agree with at all. If nothing else, it helps you sort out your own thoughts. (more…)

Russian Eurasianism: An Ideology of Empire
Washington, DC: Woodrow Wilson Center Press, 2012Eurasianism is the dominant ideology of Russia today, as well as of the “Stans” of Central Asia. Eurasianism is a civilizational ethos in its own right. It is a powerful subset of Orthodox civilization, which combines the destiny and cultures of the Russians and the Turkic people — either Orthodox or Muslim — in a single ideological narrative.

I met Béla Incze at the very intense sports camp of Légió Hungária (LH) in Hungary, as I previously wrote about. Béla is part of the group’s leadership. I was intrigued by his organization and its activities. I think a similar one could work in other European countries. Béla’s life story is also interesting, so I decided to interview him. We discussed sports, Hungarian politics, nationalist activities in Hungary, combat sports, the Hungarian youth, women, destroying a BLM statue, historical Hungary, holding demonstrations, and Viktor Orbán. I think we will hear more about him in the future. (more…)

In early March of this year, I wrote “Ukraine and Epistemic Failure Analysis” as a response to the Right’s collective failure to predict that Russia would invade Ukraine and initiate what has become the largest European war since that bit of unpleasantness with the Germans in the 1940s. That essay concerned itself with that very narrow failure of the nationalist Right to accurately predict the onset of war. Since then, that conflict has developed and expanded, and so have the Right’s reactions to it and its predictions as to its ongoing course. (more…)

Part of the ongoing narrative about the ongoing Ukraine War is the idea that it is analogous to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Believing this analogy means one thinks this conflict can be resolved by hard thinking, a bit of compromise, and several diplomatic cables. (more…)

Nacionalismus pro všechny

English original here
Mike Maxwell z nakladatelství Imperium Press přišel na substackovém účtu Imperium Press s dobře promyšleným protiargumentem mých postojů k válce na Ukrajině. Bílí nacionalisté by podle něj měli podporovat ruský vpád na Ukrajinu, jelikož Ukrajince podporují Spojené státy i drtivá většina členských zemí NATO, porážka Ukrajinců tudíž znamená porážku i pro naše vlády, což usnadní činnosti disentu.

The Third Reich was not profuse in mistakes; otherwise, it would not have been able to battle for almost six years against the major world powers, in numerical and material inferiority and with so few and counterproductive allies. However, it itself made a vital mistake which resulted in losing the war. (more…)
