Kremlin philosopher and political scientist Alexander Dugin, widely known as the ideologist of the concept of “Eurasianism,” made his assessment of the latest developments in the Middle East. He noted that the region is on the brink of a large-scale war, which could have a “biblical” scope.
Channel 9 writes about this.
“After the Israeli terrorist attack with household appliances, massive rocket attacks and shelling began in southern Lebanon, Israel clearly decided to go from victim to executioner, after the genocide of the population of Gaza, initiating the genocide of the inhabitants of Lebanon ”. Dugin believes.
According to Dugin, Israel, in responding to the recent attacks, is not simply defending itself, but is actively taking steps that could lead to a “genocide in Lebanon,” similar to what he claims is happening in Gaza. He expressed confidence that other Shiite countries and movements could join the conflict, which would ultimately involve Sunni states. Dugin does not rule out that nuclear weapons could be used during this confrontation.
The propagandist believes that Israel is waging war not only for reasons “related to the trauma of Hamas attacks,” but also to change the demographic situation in the region. In his arguments, Dugin maintains that Israeli society is an “ethno-religious island” among the surrounding Arab world, and believes that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s actions are aimed at “physically eliminating the Palestinians and expelling those who remain alive from the war.” the country.”
He also links what is happening to the expectation of a religious end of the world, pointing to the religious sentiments around Netanyahu. Dugin emphasized that Shiites may perceive the destruction of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and subsequent events as the fulfillment of eschatological prophecies.
The second reason for the war, according to Dugin, is related to geopolitics and the struggle for world hegemony. He considers the Middle East to be the second front after Ukraine, where Russia fights against the “Nazi kyiv regime” supported by the West. According to him, the West uses Israel as a tool in the confrontation with Islamic civilization, considering it an antagonist of its liberal values. In turn, the Shiites represent the vanguard ideological force in the Islamic world, making them the main target of backdoor attacks.
In his article, Dugin points out the possible expansion of the conflict to other regions, particularly Taiwan, where the West could try to increase its influence by relying on local allies such as Japan and South Korea.
Previously, Kursor wrote that the Russian Foreign Ministry issued a cynical statement about the attacks on Lebanon.
The head of the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned Israel for “killing innocent people.”
