This is a clear-eyed assessment by Professor Dugin. I'm glad to see him return to a more realistic viewpoint after his bromance with Trump and MAGA. They will never be Russia's friends, at least in our lifetimes.

Trump will say anything to those he wishes to rope into a deal. His words mean nothing, only what's on paper matters and even that only somewhat, as Trump has no qualms about ripping up written agreements as well.

As for MAGA, Professor Dugin may see some elements in the movement which resonate with his own beliefs, but it's delusional to believe that those elements will blossom into a friendship or alliance with Russian interests.

It's clear that many in Russia, like jilted lovers, strongly hope that everything can be smoothed over with the US and warm relations renewed. It. Won't. Happen. This has nothing to do with Russia per se. It's about America and its baked in sense of superiority, which permeates its culture just as much as it does its strategic thinking.

As with every movement in the U.S., it is always susceptible to the hidden forces that control the political parties in D.C. MAGA is not any different. The only thing written on paper that really matters in D.C. is the U.S. Constitution. There are those of us who have been trying to help restore our Republican form of government for many years and, until that happens, the U.S. will always be held captive to the secret combinations.

The purpose of Alaska was for the Russian leadership to assess the intentions of the US leadership.

Later when the European delegation met with DJT, the failure of Alaska became clear.

To reach an agreement about the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict, there must be some kind of parallel treaty on the security architecture in Europe. If such a treaty is finalized, it will mean the end of the need for NATO, as there is no longer a boogeyman in the East (except for China, but NATO has struggled to justify its presence in the Pacific). This is a big problem for elites and cannot be allowed to happen.

DJT probably cut short the meeting with the Europeans when he realized there's nothing to talk about. Ukraine is just a footnote in a bigger game. In the throne room, Europe was in the middle, flanked by NATO on the left the EU on the right. Unfortunately DJT is no King.

DJT knows he cannot defeat a unified Western global elites and donor classes as a whole, he knows he cannot defeat the Zionist and/or Israel lobby, and he knows he cannot defeat the US Fed nor the US deep state. Russia already knows all of this.

DJT is the wrecking ball to destroy the illusion. He is proof God has a sense of humor.

So the easiest move, maybe the only move, for DJT, is to attempt a divorce of the US from Europe. The real monster is in Europe, but it is weak until it shows itself. Meanwhile the minions will not allow DJT to wreck anything and the recent trade agreement shows the DJT will get outsmarted.

DJT is a transitory figure, he is hubris, and he is a royal pain in the ass. So the minions are busy rolling out the digital panopticon across the West to prepare the ground for birthing the real monster(s). Fortunately it is on an accelerated time line, premature in imperfect conditions, unfortunately it's happening and we are all trapped in this story.

The only certainty is an epic adventure is about to be unleashed and either the monster(s) wins or is cleansed.

Моё послание России.

Переговоры с Западом отравлены.

Сегодня Россия ведёт войну против Запада, но я прошу некоторых россиян ощутить жизнь в восточных обществах, которые раньше были византийскими землями.

Мы найдём общества без души.

Общества, которые в своих отношениях руководствуются корыстью.

Общества, которые стремятся к материальным благам, либо из-за поклонения деньгам, либо из-за необходимости выжить.

Общества без ценностей, без прощения, без любви. Те, кто отвечает за свои церкви, общины и всё в них, молчат, потому что преследуют свои собственные материальные и конъюнктурные интересы.

Лицемерие, обман и западные ценности возьмут верх.

Внутри вас будет гореть огонь.

Огонь, который не погаснет ни ночью, ни днём.

Вы видите ночь так же, как видите день.

Вы поймёте, что огонь внутри вас должен быть виден вне вас, а не внутри вас. Какова судьба обществ, которые отрекаются от своей православной истины и любви к Иисусу Христу?

Короче говоря, это либеральные и капиталистические общества.

Мир и любовь да будут только с Господом Иисусом Христом.

С моей великой любовью к России и глубокой признательностью к святым России:

Я считаю, что мы достигли той стадии, когда нет доверия ни к Трампу, ни к кому-либо ещё.

Единственное доверие сегодня — это Бог, народ и государство.

То есть, единственное доверие — это каждая ракета, которая уничтожит террористический режим Зеленского.

Я считаю, что российские СМИ должны быть сосредоточены исключительно на возвращении Киева в состав Российской империи.

I would agree I with the stance that the Alaska summit was a big success. Though there was no agreement made, the fact that the leaders of these two nations were able to negotiate on American soil shows progress and a commitment towards improved relations.

The influence and divisive nature of the factions of power that are in opposition to Trump seem to be waning. Though the MAGA cry isn’t in the forefront, it seems the American president harbors the trust and support necessary to take a stance in a way that can help bring an end to the fighting and find a new way forward. Before jumping to conclusions or digging in the heels, let’s see how things unfold in this evolving situation.
