Alexander Dugin, the Russian philosopher known as “Putin’s Brain,” has a dangerous vision for the world. He openly calls America “the common enemy” that will unite Russia’s anti-Western empire. This isn’t just talk from some random academic – this man influences Putin’s biggest decisions.
Dugin believes Russia must build what he calls “an anti-American coalition” directed squarely against the United States. He wants to reject everything America stands for, including our free market values and economic freedoms. His goal is simple: destroy American influence and replace it with Russian power.
The Russian thinker pushes for “the rejection of US strategic control” across the globe. He sees America as the main obstacle to Russia becoming a dominant empire again. In his twisted worldview, countries must choose between American freedom and Russian tyranny.
What’s really concerning is how Dugin frames this fight. He believes that hatred of America will be “the glue that holds together the Russian-led world”. This shows just how central anti-American sentiment is to Putin’s entire strategy for global dominance.
Dugin recently told CNN that he thinks Trump supporters will better understand Russia’s motivations. He’s trying to drive a wedge between Americans by claiming we share common ground with Putin’s authoritarian regime. This is classic Russian propaganda designed to weaken our resolve.
The philosopher argues that both Trump’s America and Putin’s Russia oppose what he calls “European globalism”. But there’s a huge difference between wanting America to put its citizens first and wanting to destroy democratic values entirely. Dugin conveniently ignores this critical distinction.
Even as Trump has gotten tougher on Putin recently, threatening major tariffs on Russian oil, Dugin still believes America and Russia will eventually align. He thinks it’s just a matter of time before we abandon our allies and embrace Putin’s vision. He’s dead wrong about that.
Every patriotic American should understand what we’re really facing here. Putin’s top philosopher sees our great nation as the enemy that must be defeated for Russia to rise again. We cannot let these authoritarian dreams become reality through weakness or misguided diplomacy.
