Alexander Dugin is a sort of Russian Philosopher. Wikipedia describes him as ". . . a Russian far-right political philosopher. He is the leading theorist of Russian neo-Eurasianism." So when he talks, people rightly listen.
Dugin DOES NOT speak for the Kremlin, but his words are never rebuked by the Kremlin; which sort of lends credence to the idea that what Dugin says publicly, is the thinking inside the Kremlin. Big presumption, but apparently accurate.
Read below, what Dugin said today about words coming out of Europe concerning war with Russia. This ought to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up . . .
"Russia has no need for war, we don't want to fight, we have no reason to fight with Europe. Europe itself, which wants to fight with us, is already fighting with us-in Ukraine."

We sincerely advise them against it, but at the same time, as our president has said, we declare that we are ready for real war with Europe.
Vladimir Putin emphasized that in Ukraine, we are only liberating our own lands. There are our people there. Yes, they have gone mad, but we will heal them. Healing the Europeans, however, is beyond our power. This independent but clearly collapsing civilization is in a deadly state. And everything is heading toward us treating it much more harshly than Ukraine: we will destroy all its basic military facilities and industry. And if necessary, we will wipe Europe off the face of the earth.
Yes, we don't want this at all, but it won't be the selective, gentle, and prolonged war we're w
