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." The director of the Tsargrad Institute, philosopher Alexander Dugin, explains how the West is preparing for direct military confrontation with Russia:
"In today's peaceful enthusiasm and rhetoric, everything would be fine if we said that we won't go to war and have no claims against Europe. But in reality, we do have claims. Against Europe. They think Ukraine belongs to them, while we think Ukraine belongs to us. And on this matter, we insistently assert that it's our problem, not theirs. They, on the other hand, think it's their problem, not ours.
And this conflict between our interests and the interests of the European Union-at least its leadership-is escalating. They are doing everything to tear Ukraine away from us. We are doing everything to bring it back into our sphere of influence. This is a war. And this war is already underway. However, the Europeans want to take this war to a new stage. 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 waging in Ukraine. Because here we're calming our own people, whereas there we'll be destroying our enemies. And the experience we've gained in this war in Ukraine makes us much more prepared for war with Europe than the Europeans themselves are. Especially when you look at the Europeans' deplorable moral state, their rotten societies, their perverted ethics, the dominance of migrants, and the complete corruption of the new generation.
We don't see Europe as 'easy prey,' but in any case, we can handle it. We've dealt with worse. Napoleon was more serious, Hitler even more so. But I think we can deal with these freaks and perverts, these mad lunatics, the corrupt, the gender-swapped deviants, and simply the maniacs.
If the US joins this war, it will of course be very sad. And then this war will end in Armageddon. We don't want that. But we are ready for it too."
