[Kiev, 2/13/16]
Linh Dinh – Substack March 3, 2022
For about two years, my blog had a reader who commented often, but nearly always with slogans, cliches or cartoony logic. When I pointed out that Europe’s problem with Muslim refugees would be solved if the Jewjerked West would stop destroying Muslim countries, she indignantly replied, “In any war, the men must stay and fight, and the women must stay to help them!”
Europe’s Muslim refugee problem, then, can’t be blamed on Israel, Uncle Sam or NATO, but on their terrified victims, for fleeing the Jewjerked West’s bombs and bullets!
Before Syria was attacked, it was a haven for Iraqi refugees. Though regularly sabotaged or attacked by Israel, Lebanon still houses 1.5 million refugees from Syria, Palestine and Iraq. Before Libya was destroyed, it attracted thousands of Africans from other countries. The Jewjerked West leads the world, by far, in generating refugees.
More than corpses or maimed bodies, war creates refugees, and we’re seeing it, again, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A week into this war, a million Ukrainians have already fled to other countries, and this number would be much higher without the Kiev government’s policy of turning back, and conscripting, all Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 60.
In Kiev, many of those who remain have sought shelter in its unusually deep subway system. A glance at such scenes shows many men hiding with their women, for they’re not bare-chested Rambos, each brandishing an AKM rifle with an extra phallic M203 grenade launcher, ready to mow down hundreds of Russians. If Sylvester Stallone was in Kiev, he’d undoubtedly be curled up inside Arsenalna Station, at 347 feet underground the deepest in the world. That’s 32 stories down! Why take chances?
Now, let’s just use common sense to examine why a man might not rush to war. If he has, say, three children, their survival is his top priority. Thinking likewise, his wife begs him to take them all somewhere safe, so even if he doesn’t mind dying in battle, he must decisively remove his family from danger as soon as possible, and survive to take care of them.
If he loses his sight, mind, limbs or loin as a soldier, he won’t just be useless to them, but a tremendous liability for decades. In his wife’s mind, this daunting fact tempers her patriotism.
Since fleeing involves risks and complications, many will hesitate or simply balk, with sometimes disastrous results. Not wanting to lose their home, they may end up bloodless and open eyed under its beams and bricks. A child, though, may survive as an orphaned vegetable.
There’s a reason why most armies depend on barely adult men, with fewer familial responsibilities and lots to prove. Though seemingly well drilled, most can’t dependably ejaculate under fire, however, for they can’t overcome their instinctive horror of killing a fellow man.
A French colonel, Ardant du Picq (1821-1870), was the first to point out that most soldiers would not kill, so consult his Battle Studies: Ancient and Modern Battle, first published in full in 1902. S. L. A. Marshall’s Men Against Fire (1947) is also seminal, but above all, read Dave Grossman’s On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society, from 1996.
Muscular yet often poetic, On Killing reveals there are actually very few cool killers among us, because “killing is a private, intimate occurrence of tremendous intensity,” and more irreversible than any act, so most men just won’t do it, no matter how spiteful, angry or mean they may be. Drawing out and rationing their hatred, they’ll stop short of spilling entrails. Check out these passages from On Killing:
A threatened baboon or rooster who elects to stand its ground does not respond to aggression from one of his own kind by leaping instantly to the enemy’s throat. Instead, both creatures instinctively go through a series of posturing actions that, while intimidating, are almost always harmless.
When the fight option is utilized [among animals of the same species], it is almost never to the death. Konrad Lorenz pointed out that piranhas and rattlesnakes will bite anything and everything, but among themselves piranhas fight with raps of their tails, and rattlesnakes wrestle.
When a man is frightened, he literally stops thinking with his forebrain (that is, with the mind of a human being) and begins to think with the midbrain (that is, with the portion of his brain that is essentially indistinguishable from that of an animal), and in the mind of an animal it is the one who makes the loudest noise or puffs himself up the largest who will win.
Prior to World War II it had always been assumed that the average soldier would kill in combat simply because his country and his leaders had told him to do so and because it was essential to defend his own life and the lives of his friends. When the point came that he didn’t kill, it was assumed that he panicked and ran.
During World War II U.S. Army Brigadier General S. L. A. Marshall asked these average soldiers what it was that they did in battle. His singularly unexpected discovery was that, of every hundred men along the line of fire during the period of an encounter, an average of only 15 to 20 “would take any part with their weapons.” This was consistently true “whether the action was spread over a day, or two days or three.”
[…] General Crook’s men fired 25,000 rounds at Rosebud Creek on June 16, 1876, causing 99 casualties among the Indians, or 252 rounds per hit. And in the French defense from fortified positions during the Battle of Wissembourg, in 1870, the French, shooting at German soldiers advancing across open fields, fired 48,000 rounds to hit 404 Germans, for a hit ratio of 1 hit per 119 rounds fired. (And some, or possibly even the majority, of the casualties had to have been from artillery fire, which makes the French killing rate even more remarkable.)
Lieutenant George Roupell encountered this same phenomenon while commanding a British platoon in World War I. He stated that the only way he could stop his men from firing into the air was to draw his sword and walk down the trench, “beating the men on the backside and, as I got their attention, telling them to fire low.” And the trend can be found in the firefights of Vietnam, when more than fifty thousand bullets were fired for every enemy soldier killed. “One of the things that amazed me,” stated Douglas Graham, a medic with the First Marine Division in Vietnam, who had to crawl out under enemy and friendly fire to aid wounded soldiers, “is how many bullets can be fired during a firefight without anyone getting hurt.”
The weak link between the killing potential and the killing capability of these units was the soldier. The simple fact is that when faced with a living, breathing opponent instead of a target, a significant majority of the soldiers revert to a posturing mode in which they fire over their enemy’s heads.
Indeed, the history of warfare can be seen as a history of increasingly more effective mechanisms for enabling and conditioning men to overcome their innate resistance to killing their fellow human beings.
With the current situation in Ukraine, there’s the additional, and decisive, factor of futility, because no matter how selfless or valiant Ukrainian soldiers may resist, they will lose to Russia. Plus, there’s the doubt they’re fighting for Ukraine at all.
Nakedly exposed, young Ukrainians are goaded by cynical old men, most of them foreign. Sick, they salivate over upcoming shots of smoldering corpses in this, Uncle Sam’s latest snuff film.

It could be supposed then that much, if not most, of the killing is done by a relative handful. Some are cool professionals, such as snipers, while others are psychopaths who enjoy it. Of course, the killing can be easier if the enemy is believed to be sub-human in some way or guilty of vast crimes. During the latter stages of the war against Germany Soviet troops were stirred to a frenzy by jewish propagandists and commisars so that they had no problem slaughtering vast numbers of German soldiers and civilians, often in the most savage manner. The same was true of American troops in the Pacific in their war against the Japanese. It’s interesting that some of the most vicious emanations come from those types who are usually the least at risk of death from enemy action. Political worms like Lyndsey Graham spring to mind. It’s unfortunate that in wars the types who most deserve to die are the ones who are least likely to, ie the bankers and politicians who instigate and profit from them.
It really galls the west that the first great statesman of the 21st century is a Russian. I don’t doubt Putin went to Schwab’s Young Dictator’s thingy, but just because you take a car for a test drive doesn’t mean you intend to buy it. Russia would have been foolish not to have somebody attend, and if it was by invite only then it had to be Putin. And who better than an intelligence officer to glean as much intel as possible?

Goodbye to my England, so long my old friend,
your days are numbered and being brought to an end.
To be Scottish Irish or Welsh that’s fine,
But dont say your English, that’s way out of line,
The French and the Germans may call themselves such,
so may Norwegians the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane,
but don’t say you are English ever again,
Our government plays the race card
see through it please its just not hard
at Rothschilds BBC the word “England ” is taboo,
In Brussels its scrapped Parliament too
even schools are affected, staff do as they are told
they must not teach children the England of old
writers like Shakespeare Milton and Shaw
the pupils dot learn about them any more,
how about Agincourt Hastings Arnhem or Mons
when England lost hosts of her very brave sons
we are not Europeans, how can we be ?
Europe is miles away and over the sea,
we are the English from England, lets all be proud
stand up and be counted – shout it out loud
lets tell our government and Brussels too
we are proud of our heritage, red white and blue
fly the flag of St George or the Union Jack
and tell the whole world, sorry Rothschild we want our England back
By far one of the best essays by this person, or anyone on this site for awhile.
This doesn’t mean all others are poor, but this one covers a lot of terrain and hits
some major points that many people refuse to address.
state, civilisations,empires are unnatural
constructs + results of overpopulation !
therefore militar machinery is unnatural
and soldiers are their arteficial product .
the only natural society is the limited
tribal culture . when tribes went to war
against another tribe it was for natural
hate + for resources . they were real wariors
and no orders receiving zombies like our
soldiers machinery . they fought their very
limited wars with utmost hate + canibalismus .
it was natural + in balance with natural
resources . only the fellowtribal member
can be your brother . bible is bullshit to
love your enemy + member of other tribes .
today with moslem + african invader floodings
there can be no brotherhood in this mixed
sciety and i see here in big cities no friendly
faces + what fore ?
Dead body under a cover very much alive for the cameras. I can see now how they got their name–nearly every scene they act in causes some director a crisis. No lines to fluff, all he had to do was lay there. And he still fluffed that! It shows how hammy these bit-part players are, when they should really audition them to see if they’re up to the role.

An implicit aspecting of this article, which I’m sure Linh Dinh must have given consideration to but chosen to put aside, is that all of the studies he cites, from du Picq to S.L.A. Marshall and even the passages he quotes from Grossman, all describe the hesitancy begotten of moral dilemma, characteristic to the European temperament. Or more precisely, they tell of the reluctance of European men to kill other men, even while they’re engaged against them in the field.
In the case of the Vietnam war, where the conscripted soldiery was drawn from multi-racial demographics, the Grunt Gemeinschaft that the recruits were inducted into, was, essentially, of a Germanic ethos.
My question, therefore, would be – is the inhibition against murdering another man, a similarly prevalent attribute amongst other peoples, or is it exclusively, a psychological disposition of the Aryan family?
Where are the corresponding studies of like responses on the battlefield, demonstrated by the other races of mankind?
Now, that really would be a comparative study worthy of time.
Most of western societies socio-paths (the real killers Lin alludes to) are ensconced in politics and medicine… that way they can really get the body count up without much risk to themselves (most malignant narcissists exist in a state heightened paranoia and fear)..
Hired goons on the the other hand, employed by the state to enact mindless violence are usually quite happy with a bit of battlefield rape and torture… leaving the big kills up to the mechanized boys who play with their joysticks and take their orders from very quare and usually dumb as bricks public school career brass..
imbeciles of this type no doubt see that as perks of the job..
pig-swill fly on March 5, 2022 at 10:30 am : I”m cautiously optimistic you’re correct. His words and deeds have been consistent for years and the right ones for someone who actually cares about his country.
My other comment did not come up, but I have noticed that we forget to bring attention to the orphaning process; the child smugglers get high prices for White children and life is made easier for the traders by dead White fathers.
Ratchild: Hey lets set up a new war with our two Russian/Ukrainian yarmulke Jewish Presidents, where more dumb white gentiles can kill each other off.
Mosestein: Sounds great. Shalom.
That’s all you need to know.

That is a report on a demonstration against “climate change”, and not dead soldiers!!!

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

All wars are banker’s wars, whether they have true casualties or not, the bill comes and the bankers want to be paid.
Soldiers implicitly know this fact, so that may explain some of their reluctance to shoot-to-kill.
If I have no skin in the game, I wouldn’t kill for the bankers either, but a direct threat to me and/or mine and all bets are off.
As a student of the world, I am surprised Mr. Dinh didn’t point out that historically proven fact. He did cover quite a bit in short order to be fair, but wars have one purpose only, to make money for bankers.
Smedley Butler even wrote a book about it, War is a Racket. Enjoy! 🙂

The writer should note that there is a big difference between a conscript army and a professional one.
Conscripts are often more intelligent and moral – they didn’t join because they wanted to – they usually have better things to do – but because they were forced to. They may bring a higher standard with them. Ordinary people don’t go around killing.
Regular soldiers tend to be the unemployables and those with mental problems. Historically, ‘professional’ soldiers have been the scrapings of society who once given power, will abuse it.
A fantastically well-written article from Linh.
Bryan O’Driscoll nails it in his comment above when he stated, “It’s unfortunate that in wars the types who most deserve to die are the ones who are least likely to, ie the bankers and politicians who instigate and profit from them.”
He also mentioned that depraved faggot Lindsey Graham, a sniveling shit-stain on the fabric of humanity and more than deserving of having his tongue sawed out and used for a toilet rag on burrito day at a homeless shelter. Graham, a limp-wristed poof who has never been in an actual physical fight in his miserable life, yet an ardent supporter of every illegal and immoral war of aggression on the part of the Jewnited States, would surely shit down both legs and cry like the little bitch he is if he were ever to find himself facing hostile fire he so eagerly sends other people to face.
