Yeah, I have a policy to never click links.
In my first Dugin Soup, I covered the man’s 1997 book Foundations of Geopolitics — a manual for dismantling the West, breaking up NATO, and building a Russian-led empire. In it, he makes eerie “predictions” that seem to be playing out today. 2/17
Dugin called for destabilizing the US by exacerbating internal divisions. Fast forward to today: culture wars, conspiracy theories, far-right lunatics, and social media algorithms doing half the work for him. 3/17
He also envisioned a fractured EU, torn apart by nationalism and internal disputes. Cue Brexit, rising far-right movements, and debates over which pro-Russian EU party is the biggest headache for Brussels. And all this was already planned back in 1997. 4/17
Some of Dugin’s most extreme fantasies – wars, occupations, and ethnic cleansings – are unfolding in Ukraine and Georgia. The final outcome is still uncertain, but his vision is being carried out in real-time. 5/17
Dugin’s Eurasianist theories have been used to justify Russia’s wars, interference in Western politics, and violent geopolitical strategies. But I guess normalizing Russian imperialism and fascism is just the next step in restoring trade relations and lifting sanctions. 16/17
The West doesn’t need to “understand” Dugin’s ideas – it needs to reject them outright. Every time he’s platformed, his dystopian fantasies get one step closer to reality. The world has enough problems without indulging another failed authoritarian dreamer. 17/17

Finland’s Defense Minister Antti Hakkanen said that Europe cannot afford a disjointed transition in defense capabilities, which could provide Russia with an opportunity to exploit any gaps in the region's security.

I dunno, Zelensky is still talking of a peacekeeping force supplied by ‘the willing’. My understanding is that there’s UN issues with such a deployment.

It would be a dangerous simplification to call Dugin a nut job, his theories are too encompassing and coherent for that. There is a healthy dose of irony though as many of his beliefs would have been right at home on Nazi Germany 90 - 100 years ago.
