oh my god LMAO
they spent the LAST FOUR YEARS SAYING THEY STOLE OUR ELECTION
DO YOU EVEN REALIZE NATO STILL EXISTS: THE CORE FUNDAMENTAL WAR POLICY OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE LAST 80 YEARS
HAS BEEN AGAINST THE USSR
i regret replying to either you of you, both literal scum
DO YOU THINK THE US DOESN'T CONTINUALLY RUN OPERATIONS AGAINST RUSSIA IN THE ECONOMIC/CYBERSPACE LOOOL
and? you're gonna have to explain how that means russia was under threat
under threat from what? not being able to randomly invade countries because they are in a military alliance is not the same as being under threat you stupid fuck
the implication of a threat if a certain action is taken and an actual threat are not the same thing
neither of those things justify an invasion of ukraine ■■■■■■
"they have guys who post anti-russia stuff on twitter, they had to invade ukraine"
"Why does nobody engage me in polite, rational conversation" starter pack
You're outright incapable of seeing past your very limited worldview
this is the type of thinking the US rewards in its client states
and your defense of the fundamental assertion that the invasion of ukraine was actually the US and Ukraines fault is "heh heh you would have supported the invasion of iraq" like you are the single most autistic fucking person i've ever talked to
you don't even know what a discussion is supposed to be, you think just saying the most cute and clever sounding thing you can think of

so Putin invaded Ukraine because he wanted to annex it into Greater Russia. That's the story you're going with.
Or did he just want to kill people?
should I answer this very direct and easy to answer question that would help explain my controversial position I just voluntarily posted?
nah I should say he woulda supported the Iraq war! heh! gottem!!!
yes,. and every other rotten thing Dugin has told him he should do
Yeah you are the one who has been propagandized by Russian Zog Bots if you've mentioned Dugin LMFAO
isn't it neat how russias foreign policy is identical to this book written in 1997? isn't that super neat and cool?
In Foundations of Geopolitics, Dugin calls for the United States and Atlanticism to lose their influence in Eurasia, and for Russia to rebuild its influence through annexations and alliances.[3] The book declares that "the battle for the world rule of Russians" has not ended and Russia remains "the staging area of a new anti-bourgeois, anti-American revolution". The Eurasian Empire will be constructed "on the fundamental principle of the common enemy: the rejection of Atlanticism, strategic control of the U.S., and the refusal to allow liberal values to dominate us."[2][9]
Military operations play relatively little role. The textbook advocates a sophisticated program of subversion, destabilization, and disinformation spearheaded by the Russian special services.[13] The operations should be assisted by a tough, hard-headed utilization of Russia's gas, oil, and natural resources to bully and pressure other countries.[9] The book states that "the maximum task [of the future] is the 'Finlandization' of all of Europe".[9]
In Europe:
- Germany should be offered the de facto political dominance over most Protestant and Catholic states located within Central and Eastern Europe. Kaliningrad Oblast could be given back to Germany. The book uses the term "Moscow–Berlin axis".[9]
- France should be encouraged to form a bloc with Germany, as they both have a "firm anti-Atlanticist tradition".[9]
- The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.[9]
- Finland should be absorbed into Russia. Southern Finland will be combined with the Republic of Karelia and northern Finland will be "donated to Murmansk Oblast".[9]
- Estonia should be given to Germany's sphere of influence.[9]
- Latvia and Lithuania should be given a "special status" in the Eurasian–Russian sphere, although he later writes that they should be integrated into Russia.[9]
- Belarus and Moldova are to become part of Russia.[9]
- Poland should be granted a "special status" in the Eurasian sphere.[9]
- Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia, "Serbian Bosnia" and Greece – "Orthodox collectivist East" – will unite with "Moscow the Third Rome" and reject the "rational-individualistic West".[9]
- Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.[9]
In the Middle East and Central Asia:
- The book stresses the "continental Russian–Islamic alliance" which lies "at the foundation of anti-Atlanticist strategy". The alliance is based on the "traditional character of Russian and Islamic civilization".
- Iran is a key ally. The book uses the term "Moscow–Tehran axis".[9]
- Armenia has a special role: It will serve as a "strategic base," and it is necessary to create "the [subsidiary] axis Moscow-Yerevan-Teheran". Armenians "are an Aryan people ... [like] the Iranians and the Kurds".[9]
- Azerbaijan could be "split up" or given to Iran.[9]
- Georgia should be dismembered. Abkhazia and "United Ossetia" (which includes Georgia's South Ossetia and the Republic of North Ossetia) will be incorporated into Russia. Georgia's independent policies are unacceptable.[9]
- Russia needs to create "geopolitical shocks" within Turkey. These can be achieved by employing Kurds, Armenians and other minorities.[9]
- The book regards the Caucasus as a Russian territory, including "the eastern and northern shores of the Caspian (the territories of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan)" and Central Asia (mentioning Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan).[9]
In East and Southeast Asia:
- China, which represents a danger to Russia, "must, to the maximum degree possible, be dismantled". Dugin suggests that Russia start by taking Tibet–Xinjiang–Inner Mongolia–Manchuria as a security belt.[1] Russia should offer China help "in a southern direction – Indochina (except Vietnam), the Philippines, Indonesia, Australia" as geopolitical compensation.[9]
- Russia should manipulate Japanese politics by offering the Kuril Islands to Japan and provoking anti-Americanism.[9]
- Mongolia should be absorbed into Eurasia-Russia.[9]
The book emphasizes that Russia must spread anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."
In the United States:
- Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]
The Eurasian Project could be expanded to South and Central America.[9]
oh boy that sure sounds like about 85% of what they've literally been doing
and you say the two are very close friends in real life? for 20 years? oh wow that's neat
Yeah but what does Surkov think of this?
Protip: when we start a war in Taiwan (LOL) read the wikipedia article for "Wang Huning": you will be way far ahead of the curve.
If you're making posts about Duginism: you've won. I frankly have no response to the accusation that Putin is trailblazing the creation of a state pursuing the Fourth Political Theory because it is objectively correct.
