I read this post, and I felt something deep and conflicted. I’ve long respected your mind; your ability to see patterns, to speak with conviction, to wrestle with the souls of civilizations. But this time, I need to speak plainly, not as an adversary, but as someone who honestly pays heed to you and believes peace is sacred.
You called the Washington-brokered agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan a humiliation. You described it as a rape, a castration, a betrayal so profound it demands punishment. But I see something else. I see the end of organized mass murder. I see the possibility, however fragile, of lives spared, of families unbroken, of futures not buried beneath rubble. Surely, that counts for something, good sir.
Peace is not humiliation. It is, in fact, the highest calling of any serous statesman. It doesn’t matter who brokers it, who signs it, or whose flag flies over the table. If the killing stops, then something holy has happened. And if Russia wasn’t at the center of it this time, that’s not disgrace—it’s grace. It means someone, somewhere, chose life over legacy. We sure as hell could use the help of The Russian Federation in Gaza.
I understand the sting of geopolitical loss, the pride that comes with influence, and the pain when it slips away from time to time. But pride is not worth more than blood, and influence and ego are not worth more than breath. You say Russia has been slapped. I say Russia has been spared.
There’s a danger in your words, and I don’t think you mean to unleash such. When peace is framed as betrayal, it becomes harder to pursue. When diplomacy is treated as weakness, war becomes the only language left. If peace becomes shameful, then only war remains honorable, and that is a lie too many have died for. And when grief is weaponized, it stops being human; it becomes ideology that only brings more grief.
I’m not asking you to forget your pain, I’m asking you to remember what pain is for. It’s not for vengeance. It’s for awakening, for clarity, for choosing a different path that protects others from the pain we ourselves have suffered.
You once spoke of facing the world like a strike; without turning away. I ask you now to face peace the same way. Don’t turn away from it, good sir. Don’t flinch, or call it weakness. Call it what it is: a victory over death, a small victory for common humanity, when such victories are way to far and few between, these days.
Humanity lost nothing by ending a war. Rather, it has gained at least a little bit of sanity in a time of madness.
With deep respect and appreciation, I wish you the very best on this day.
The failure of your Foreign Affairs Department in dealing with Russia’s Caucuses regions of influence is indeed, an historical humiliation and, I congratulate Mr Dugin for showing the necessary courage to speak out the truth! It’s the internal enemies that have been put to some of the highest level of Government Officials that Russia should be aware of! The direct meeting between Trump and Putin on American Ground (Alaska),after fifteen years is ,actually, the continuation of the Deep Nazi Zionist State Project for the gradual partition of the Russian Federation! If Putin hasn’t yet understood it , he is to be considered the main traitor of the Russian People, of the Russian Civilisation State. He has already played with the Minsk Agreements, any one with real love for the Russian People should have be aware that USA and Nazi Christian Zionist Europe have never given up to the historical project to plunder the Russian Wealth, minerals, energy resources etc! The defeat it Hitler should have been only the first step towards a gradual elimination of the root causes of Nazi Zionist Imperial Project.
If President Putin had intervened to broker a peace deal between Venezuela and Guyana back in 2023 so as to exercise influence in the region, I wonder how the U.S. would have felt about it? Would the world have allowed him the same bragging rights for brokering peace?
Think of the Cuba missile crisis as it was euphemistically called by the MSMwhich resulted in the Bay of Pigs and 65 years worth of sanctions and attacks against Cuba. What does Putin do in the same situation today the traiter calls a not a war and gets the young men killed En masse and is now attempting a peace settlement with the dajjal for a recommencement of business for his oligarchical circle.
That cannot be said to be the fault of advisers, that is what Trump does blames others for his own actions or splinelessness. Putin is obviously conscious of his actions and that of the Kremlin and holds true power unlike a POTUS in a western sham democracy with its latent power in the shadows.
Yet Mr Dugin must still skirt the issue or he would end up in a cold cold unpleasant place not of his choosing.
I thought about using the Cuban Missile crisis as an example in this instance, but since that was a conflict between the U.S. and Russia, it seemed that the conflict between Venezuela and Guyana would be more appropriate. Yet, in truth, it seems that in both instances, the Monroe Doctrine would be the controlling doctrine for resisting outside foreign influence in our hemisphere. Russia also has its own version of the Monroe Doctrine as well which should be respected, but clearly it is not.
Like Mr. Dugin, I am a Patriot as well, but I am an outdated Patriot here in the U.S. I believe in the ways of the Framers, which taught us to be loyal to our U.S. Constitution and not a man in the White House.
George Washington also gave us the “Great Rule” in his seminal Farewell Address cautioning us not to interfere in the affairs of Europe and the rest of the Old World. This rule was reaffirmed by President John Quincy Adams, who said that our true policy is that we “go not abroad in search of monsters to destroy.” Unfortunately, we started going after “monsters” in the beginning of the 20th Century and have not stopped interfering in the affairs of sovereign nations outside of our own hemisphere since that time.
I also follow the Framers with respect to our Constitutional Republic. They did not create a “democracy” at all -- "sham democracy” or otherwise. It was, as James Madison explained, “strictly Republican.” Yet, we’ve been trying to export our apostate democracy to the nations of the world with all of our unconstitutional foreign interventions.
I have been writing about these things as an attorney for many years but with little impact. I admire Mr. Dugin’s fortitude as it appears that he has been doing the same in Russia. Although, admittedly, I do not believe that I have to worried about the kind of treatment you speak of with respect to the “cold unpleasant place not of his choosing”... as of yet.
The problem, the root cause, is the power of the infinite dolar printed by USA governments and used to buy and to corrupt politicians and countries. It is happening now with Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as Lebanon. The Kremlin should advise them, and be less friend of them, and BRICS, getting out of the dependence of dollar should avoid that pernicious situation of Ziooligarchic petrodolar domination...
The truth is that Russia has always been surrounded by enemies, and remains so today. Nothing has changed except that the illusion of alliances has been shattered. Russia has never been able to forge a coherent policy of strong alliances, and the Ukrainian war has exposed this failure to the world.
In my most humble opinion, the Eurasian model has collapsed. What is required now are new vectors of Realpolitik: a purge of oligarchs and lazy assets, and the implementation of “iron and blood” lines of subjugation across the continent. Russia needs a new model of state now: one founded not on sentimental oligarchs dreams of partnership, but on the hard reality of decision.
The Caucasus has always been a battlefield shaped by Iran, Turkey, and the United States against Russia. For decades, Iranian Russophobic networks, financed through IRGC-linked charities and coordinated by clerics such as Ayatollah Hassan Qomi and Hojjatoleslam Mohsen Rabbani, have funded Islamist opposition in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Ingushetia, something that never truly stopped. In the 1990s, these channels facilitated logistical support for fighters during the First and Second Chechen Wars. These assets have been dismantled, not by Russia (of course not...), but by Mossad–CIA operations that replaced Tehran’s influence with Washington–Tel Aviv control. If Trump now decides who plays what role in the Caucasus, it is because Iran has already lost its long game of oppositions there. Tehran chose to lose alone rather than admit Russia into its own strategic interior. I remember I said this clearly when you all were celebrating the antisemitic desire of destroying Israel with Iran hand-by-hand: Iran despises Russia as much as despises Israel or the West. Russia has never been aware of this fact, apparently, and Iran has sabotaged Russian influence across these corridors in silence for decades.
Turkey has been more openly treacherous. Since 2014, Ankara has rejected Crimea’s reunification with Russia. President Erdoğan and Foreign Minister Çavuşoğlu amplify Crimean Tatar grievances voiced by Mustafa Dzhemilev, accusing Moscow of torture and starvation: painting Tatar Crimea as “Russia’s Gaza". Grey Wolves and Milli Görüş networks funnel arms to Tatar nationalist cells, even as Turkey imports Russian gas and hosts “friendly” talks on Syria and grain. Simultaneously, Ankara sells Bayraktar TB2 drones to Kyiv, restricts Russian naval traffic through the Straits under Montreux, and aligns NATO surveillance with its pan-Turkic Great Turan project. Erdoğan, shielded by Trump during the coup attempts of 2016 and 2025, remains a Western instrument, just as he was during NATO’s first Georgia drive in 2008. Pan-Turkic great Turan is planned to be part of NATO, just in case you think the turkic russophobic ambitions focus only in Crimea.
Al-Qaeda infiltration routes through Georgia and Azerbaijan persist. Kurdish clans under Barzani auction their loyalties to Israel, allows the Iranian oppositional presence, and the U.S. alike. Across the entire Turkic-Mongol arc, elites despise Russia more than they distrust the West. Ironically, this hostility was seeded decades ago by Iran itself, and yet Moscow still clings to the delusion of Tehran as a “friend.”
George Soros no longer wants The Caucasus; he now operates in the Balkans as an independent actor.
India has joined this front as a covert double agent. Through COMCASA (2018), BECA (2020), SOSA (2024), and a ten-year defense roadmap signed in 2025, Delhi has integrated its military and intelligence services with Washington, Tel Aviv, and NATO. Its public “complaints” about U.S. policy are mere theater. India’s true aim is to pull Russia’s oligarchs to Trump’s feet, under the guise of “balancing China”, and to secure hypersonic technology should Islamabad and Beijing “turn hostile.” Quo vadis, Russia? India is with the Anglo-Zionists, but it would happily drag Moscow into the same orbit if allowed.
Professor Dugin, the situation is Schmittian: “The specific political distinction to which political actions and motives can be reduced is that between friend and enemy.” Yet Russia refuses to make this distinction. By failing to name its enemies, Moscow permits its enemies to name it. The Caucasus is not sliding into conflict by chance, but by deliberate decisions, made in Washington, Ankara, Tehran, Beijing or Delhi, while Moscow hides behind the false security of “partnership".
Alaska is deal or die. Russia shows no sign of readiness. The next conflagration in the Caucasus will not erupt naturally; it will be engineered by those who have already decided that Russia is their enemy, while Russia still hesitates to decide who is its enemy in return.
Os factos se materializando. O Caucaso é uma area muito sensível para a Russia. Caso a Russia não pare esse acordo, será uma verdadeira humilhação para a Russia e o Sul Global.

An interesting read. Thanks for sharing.
