Back to MAGA, Against the EU

On the Escalation show of Radio Sputnik, Alexander Dugin welcomes the new US National Security Strategy as a return to MAGA and an “order of great powers,” promising a withdrawal from globalist interventionism and unleashing a tidal wave to collapse the EU’s last ditch attempt at a liberal crusade.
Radio Sputnik, Escalation Host: Let’s start with the document that is currently the subject of heated debate in Russia, Europe, and even China. I am talking about the new National Security Strategy of the United States. In particular, the Swiss media are outright saying that this text largely echoes the Munich speech of our President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Alexander Gelyevich, in your opinion, is this really the case?
Alexander Dugin: You know, with the publication of this US National Security Strategy, we are once again seeing Trump’s iconic vacillation between the MAGA camp and the neoconservatives — vacillation that we constantly talk about on our programs and closely monitor. And we can say outright: the current doctrine was written specifically on behalf of MAGA. This is the authentic “Make America Great Again” doctrine, the voice of the staunch opponents of globalism and harsh critics of the neoconservatives, the very core that enabled Trump to win the election.
In essence, this strategy is very close to what I called the “order of great powers” in my book on Trump.
Nowadays, this term is increasingly heard in the public sphere — “great power order.” It means that the West no longer considers itself the guarantor of democracy, does not engage in the spread of liberal values, does not take responsibility for all of humanity, and does not see itself as part of a single space with Europe. America is now on its own. It still strives for greatness, development, and domination, but clearly defines the territory of this domination — primarily the Western Hemisphere, both American continents. This is where the term “corollary to the Monroe Doctrine” comes from. A corollary is an addition, a development of a certain geopolitical project, and this very corollary of Trump’s is, in essence, the order of the great powers.

It should not be any surprise why Western Europe fear Russia. A strong alliance between the US and Russia would dramatically change the world, with great benefits to the US, Russia and most Far Eastern countries - with emphasis on China, India, the Koreas and Japan. This is the nightmare scenario that the European globalists fear and why they and their US counterparts (the Neocons) have been fear mongering about Russia. Ukraine has always been about destabilizing and / or breaking up Russia and keeping the US and Russia at odds. Americans need to educate themselves regarding the long standing support Russia has given the US (e.g. Russia’s navel support during America’s Revolutionary War) and their sale of Alaska to the US with hopes it would be the bridge to greater trade relations. Moreover, Americans need to not be distracted by the Communist period in Russias past - I believe Russia has moved on from that error. We are both strongly Christian nations and have more in common than not.
Dr. Dugan, likewise thank you for your insights. When, I read about the C5 yesterday, it caused me to sit up straight in my chair. As an American, my desire is for the US to move to a multipolar power sharing with the other major world powers. This is the only rational approach - principally Russia and China. Resisting will result only in the eventual US collapse similar to the fate of most prior reserve currency / military power empires throughout history. More importantly, this collaboration could open up the opportunity to achieve the promise of an expanded Heartland (I.e. Mackinder doctrine) geopolitical strategy. If these C5 countries could collaborate on the construction of a trans-Bering Strait rail tunnel, it would dramatically change global trade dynamics as well as navel military strategy. A Blue Ocean Navy strategy is extremely wasteful and a shift away would offer certain benefits. Hopefully the C5 can be realized with the US walking away from NATO. This is Trumps true chance to be written favorably into the world history books. Trump, Putin and Xi all for that matter. With best regards.
