If ever there was a call which went unheeded, it is former presidential candidate Patrick J. Buchanan’s admonition that once the Cold War ended, the United States should have reduced its military footprint to a size capable of dealing with its own national interests. (more…)

The Ukrainian counteroffensive is underway. Don’t get your hopes up. When the American-led coalition went on the offensive against the Iraqi military during the Persian Gulf War of 1990-91, they had complete air superiority. (more…)

As of May 9, 2023, the Ukrainian military controls less than 2% of Bakhmut. It is only a matter of time before the city is entirely in Russian hands, barring a miraculous Ukrainian counterattack which turns out to be wildly successful. Reports of minor counterattacks are mostly hype. (more…)

The United States federal government has been fixated for years on far-off conflicts while America’s backyard, especially Mexico, has slid into chaos. Nationalists for years have likewise demanded that our troops be stationed on the Rio Grande instead of the Euphrates. (more…)

Russia Proposes Law Declaring All Feminists to Be Extremists

Michel-Martin Drolling, The Wrath of Achilles (1810)

1,809 words

Once upon a time, when we still had the illusion of having a country, I naïvely recommended that our guys enlist in the military. My advice to young white men is now the complete opposite, for two reasons. The first has to do with self-respect and self-preservation. I call it the Achilles Option. The second is to hasten the advent of an archeofuturist era of warfare, which is necessary if white nations are to defy the Eurasian powers. (more…)

Part 2 of 2 (Part 1 here)

Military mid-level management

McCormick’s military career couldn’t be replicated today. In today’s United States military, either a college student is recruited to take classes in military leadership, or an enlisted man is selected to attend officer candidate school. Then, after 12 years of service, he may be promoted to Major. At no time during those 12 years can the soldier leave the service, and he must serve in a series of specific jobs. Any deviation from the norm means no promotion. (more…)

The United States has too many ongoing military deployments. There are unnecessary military bases in Syria, Somalia, South Korea, and Niger, to name the most egregious. A solid case can actually be made for the Americans to withdraw from NATO entirely. There have also been a number of pop deployments that have been made to prop up burdensome allies, such as the US Marines’ foray into Lebanon in 1983, to get the Israelis out of a jam they created for themselves.

It’s nearly April: The time for rain. As I write, there is a drenching downpour in my neck of the woods that has lasted all day. Being forced indoors for a spell has allowed me to reflect upon white advocacy at the end of 2023’s first quarter. (more…)

Christopher C. Miller (with Ted Royer)
Soldier Secretary: Warnings from the Battlefield and the Pentagon about America’s Most Dangerous Enemies
Nashville & New York: Center Street, 2023

It is no secret that President Trump operated in the midst of a viper’s nest of traitorous officials throughout his valiant tenure in office, and the worst offenders were in the Department of Defense. Trump was elected on a policy of reducing America’s endless involvements in foreign quarrels in which America has no interests. (more…)
