      You seem to be very confused. I am stating that Dugan has been leading Putins foreign policy because the things that Dugan wrote for the most part have been executed by Putin’s governments.

      Dugin is apparently quite popular among Russian brass

      Dugan is for a fact speaking completely out of his ass, it doesn’t change the fact that he’s loved and respected and his words are preached across the Russian federation.

      I used to know a few moscovites and discuss politics but that was before Ukraine happened

        I’m not confused. Dugin is an utter clown whom Putin wouldn’t even give the time of day. He’s not leading shit, except other Western crypto-fascist grifters like Caleb Maupin.

          Again, you seem confused. I agree with you that Dugan is a clown. Where I am disagreeing with you is the fact that he is uninfluential. If he was a nut job as you propose and treated as such by his fellow Russians, then his plans would not see the light of day let alone battlefield action.

            Despite Western governments and Western media claims to the contrary, Dugin’s plans haven’t seen the light of day, Brzezinski’s have: his neocon plans to expand NATO eastward and leverage Ukrainian Banderites, to weaken & isolate Russia, and ideally to balkanize it. Ukraine is a pawn on Brzezinski’s chessboard. This is the war the United States has wanted for decades, as explained in the book he wrote around when he was Carter’s National Security Advisor. Meanwhile Dugin’s job title may as well be social media influencer. Even Wikipedia doubts his state influence.

            We were lied to about the Iraq war, we were lied to about the Ukraine war, and they’re already lying to us about the Iran war.
