🇺🇸 Largest National Guard base in US to double in size for ‘all domain warfare’

Northern Michigan locals have seen this installation for ‘citizen soldiers’ become a training ground for Great Power conflict.

Since 9/11 more than one million Guardsmen were deployed overseas, many of them having been deployed multiple times. Nearly half of all U.S. troops sent to Iraq and Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021 were from the National Guard and reserves, and Guardsmen made up 18.4 percent of the casualties in these wars. The MNG is no exception. In 2022 alone the Michigan Air National Guard was deployed on 88 missions worldwide, spanning 10 different countries, and the Michigan Army National Guard was deployed on two different missions in the Middle East.

"Despair, Depression - 2024 Update"

Suicides in Europe continue to increase at a rapid rate.

Post-2020 White men comprise 77% of suicide deaths in Europe.

This is not significantly different from the 70% of US suicides which are White men.

Prime age men 45-54 have shockingly high rates of death by suicide.

White men, young and old, are killing themselves in drastic and society destabilizing numbers.

White women, our mothers, wifes, sisters and daughters, have never been more miserable.

They are less happy, more stressed and less fulfilled with life than they were a century ago.

Many of these male suicides are family men struggling in the modern economy which treats them as unnecessary in the civilization they built.

While many unhappy women are single and childless, or overworked and resentful that they were sold a false bill of goods through modern feminism.

In summation, the breakdown of the family, of community, and the economy is causing serious numerical and psychological harm to Whites.

Nationalism is the alternative.

📖 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 Now nearing its fifth month, the war in Gaza seems far from an end—despite a growing sense in Israel that the fighting has got bogged down. Israeli security officials worry that politics will undermine the gains they have made

🔶️ "Mr Netanyahu, as usual, is prevaricating while he tries to keep both parts of his government on board. In public he promises to “continue until total victory”. In private, he has allowed Israel’s representatives to continue negotiating. But he is unlikely to do anything that would drive away the far right, without whom he would not have returned to office in December 2022."

🔶️ "Mr Netanyahu may have to make a decision soon, though. In an interview broadcast on January 18th Gadi Eisenkot, a war-cabinet member and former army chief, hinted at a push for early elections. “We need, in the time range of months, to go back to the Israeli voter and renew trust,” he said. It is now a matter of time before the emergency war cabinet is dissolved. Protests in Israeli cities are growing. Many are led by the families of hostages calling for a ceasefire—and for Mr Netanyahu’s resignation. His centrist partners are likely to leave the coalition if they do not soon get an answer on a hostage deal and Israel’s post-war strategy. “Until then, it’s deadlock,” says an Israeli security man. “The political leadership won’t make a decision, and if they don’t, a lot of the gains we achieved at great cost will be eroded.”

📖 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 US, Israel believe up to 80% of Hamas tunnels intact after 114 days of war – report

🔶️ "After 114 days of fighting, as much as 80 percent of Hamas’s tunnel system beneath the Gaza Strip could still remain intact, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday."

🔶️ “It’s a very hard mission. It’s done slowly, very carefully. It’s urban warfare unseen globally,” the official said."

🔶️ "Earlier this month it was reported that senior Israeli defense officials now assess that Hamas’s Gaza tunnel network is between 350 and 450 miles long, far longer than previously believed."

📖 🇵🇸 🇮🇱 After nearly 4 months of Israel military options -- and 25,000+ dead -- Hamas is back in northern Gaza, coordinating militant cells, policing communities & rebuilding governance.

🔶️ In southern Gaza, Hamas remains in "firm control."

🔶️ "The apparent resurgence of Hamas in areas seized and cleared by Israeli troops during the nearly four-month offensive underlines the difficulties Benjamin Netanyahu faces in meeting his pledge to “crush” the militant group."

🔶️ Eyal Hulata, who until January 2023 was the head of Israel’s national security council, said: “We are hearing more, unfortunately, of the recovery of [an] insurgency in both central and northern Gaza … We’re hearing more and more that Hamas are doing policing in northern Gaza and governing trade, and that is a very bad outcome.”

🇲🇩🇪🇺🇷🇺 On the topic of the integration of Moldova into the EU, professor Dan Dungaciu shares his thoughts on possible outcomes for this integration: 1/2

🔸 Ukraine has protested on several occasions the inclusion of Moldova into the EU negotiation process, worried that it might slow the European integration of Kiev but Romania insisted that Moldova be tied with Ukraine and won the debate

🔸 Transnistria's future is uncertain as Ukraine is set to halt all gas shipments coming from Russia through its pipelines which will ruin Transnistrian industry and the electric energy supply of Moldova, Transnistria and possibly neighbouring cities and towns in Ukraine (Odessa)

@Wallachian_Gazette

🇲🇩🇪🇺🇷🇺 Continuation from the post above: 2/2

🔸 Moldova is Romania's most important political project post-communism and has to lobby for American support for a future reunification.

🔸 Chișinău will never be able to regain control of Transnistria from a socio-economical point of view and Maia Sandu's two step integration process is the only way to keep some semblance of order

🔸 Although Chișinău wants to reintegrate Transnistria into Moldova proper, reintegration might just be the thing that will prevent Moldova from joining the EU altogether.

Transnistrian industry, technologically outdated, is able to survive because Russia delivers natural gas, its main energy source, free of charge and thus is able to produce commodities at a price way lower than the one found on regular markets. Once Transnistria loses access to this natural gas which Ukraine is prepared to cut, the prices will skyrocket and the factories will go bankrupt and thousands of steelworkers & other machinists will become jobless. Worst part, the reintegration will Moldova will not see a return of their jobs because Moldova doesn't have an industry anymore as, after the fall of the USSR, it was outcompeted by the West and it disappeared altogether, which is what will happen to the Transnistrian factories. The Transnistrian population, if reintegrated, in a scenario where, for some reason, the Russians withdraw their troops and the separatists lay down their arms, will make a fine addition to the existing pro-Russian opposition in Moldova and could be the necessary influx of people to tip the scales in favor of Russia and would jeopardise Moldova's integration into the West.

🔸 Dungaciu tells that, in the case that Russia breaks through the Ukrainian lines and hurries to Odessa, it might be enough to force Romania's hand and the Romanian Army into Moldova so as to prevent the end of Moldova's EU integration, achieving reunification in the process, which most definitely will put NATO in an uncomfortable and tense situation with Russia over Transnistria.

🛡 🇷🇺 🇬🇧 Russia Can Build 100 Tanks a Month, Retains Capacity to Replace Losses: Intel

🔶️ Russia has retained the capacity to replace battlefield losses in Ukraine as it can produce 100 main battle tanks per month, according to a recent UK Ministry of Defence intelligence report.

🔶️ Moscow’s forces could continue to carry out a high level of offensive activity against Ukraine in the “foreseeable future” because of the increase in its industrial capacity.

🔶️ The UK MoD report did not elaborate on how Russia managed to ramp up production amid biting international sanctions.

🔶️ Russia’s ability to quickly replenish battlefield losses in Ukraine was seemingly confirmed by its defense ministry earlier this year, announcing that it had inducted 1,500 tanks in 2023.

🔶️ It also boasted that the country’s current tank sufficiency level is over 84 percent.

https://www.thedefensepost.com/2024/01/31/russia-tanks-replace-losses/

We are delighted to announce that we are now a registered political party. This milestone means that we are now able to stand candidates at elections under our Party’s name and are in a position to contest seats at a local authority level; clearing out the old parties and providing real representation for our people.

In just 9 months, we already have many parish & community councillors up and down the country, who are helping our communities locally and showing them the merits of Nationalism - the most natural form of politics.

We are influencing politics at a national level too; we are proud to be the first party in the country to call for a binding #ImmigrationReferendum, an idea that is gaining traction across Europe, and are calling out the old parties' hypocrisy during elections.

With your support, we will continue to build a national network of like-minded people. Electoral activity is not the only positive change we have made; we continue to provide our members with:

• Access to events ranging from social meet-ups, to political activism and even mountain climbing trips.
• The ability to contribute to the direction of the Party.
• Invitations to general meetings and training seminars.
• A sense of belonging through a community built on trust.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we strive to effect positive change together.
