I would like to build on the words of Andrei Korobov-Latyntsev, who considers total mobilization as a Jüngerian concept, and on the Jüngerian model itself, which is obvious and in a certain sense does not need any further deepening. Ernst Jünger is an extremely explicit thinker; he is very aphoristic. In his works, he expressed everything he wanted. He clearly said what he wanted to say, so even the comments about it are not of much interest. However, in Martin Heidegger's hundred-volume work there is one of the volumes that is a reprint of Jünger's work. It has Heidegger's notes in the margins. This is very interesting. Here we see Jüngerian thought integrated in the multidimensional and spiritual intellectual universe of Heidegger. And if we turn to Jünger's idea of total mobilization in a Heideggerian manner, then we get an existential theory of mobilization. Practically what is intended. It is worth exploring this in more detail.

The US proxy war on Russia is stupid. Professor of Law at the LSE, Peter Ramsay, in a review of Benjamin Abelow’s book, How the West Brought War to Ukraine, outlines how the latter eschews the simplistic ‘Putin invaded Ukraine’ narrative -- attributing primary responsibility for the war to less proximate causes: ‘American governmental stupidity and blindness’ and ‘the deference and cowardice’ of Europe’s leaders toward this American governmental ‘stupidity’.
