Excellent analysis. Dugin precisely captures the central point of the era we live in: the collapse of political linearity and the emergence of chaos as a new form of order. Trump is not incoherent — he is the logical product of a world that no longer obeys the old laws of classical geopolitics. His unpredictability reflects the collapse of liberal hegemony and the birth of a multipolarity that is still formless, yet inevitable.
Budapest symbolizes exactly this — the fracture between a Europe submissive to globalism and a sovereign Europe that is beginning to rise. Orbán, Putin, and Trump each represent, in their own way, the insurgency of nations and cultures against the empire of corporations, NGOs, and rootless ideologies.
Dugin is right: we no longer live in the politics of facts, but in the war of perceptions. Whoever masters informational chaos masters the world. And on this new chessboard, the logic of complexity replaces the old liberal rationality — it is the beginning of a new geopolitical era.
It’s a valid question — but in my view, Dugin’s point is not to deny Ukraine’s sovereignty. His framework sees the conflict as a symptom of a deeper systemic transition: the collapse of the unipolar order and the struggle between globalist and civilizational sovereignties. In that sense, Ukraine becomes a battlefield of paradigms — not merely a state defending itself, but a territory where competing visions of world order collide.

Good, clear thinking expressed in good, clear, grammatical English. Bravo!
Much appreciated. Clarity is the last refuge of reason in an age ruled by narratives.
And distressingly few people are capable of it; hence my "Bravo" for you. Thanks for the courtesy of a reply. All the best to you!
Thank you — it’s rare to find genuine exchanges of thought these days. Wishing you all the best as well.
Thanks for your great work Alexander!

I'm curious, how does this analysis reconcile with Ukraine's soverignty?
