"We are witnessing a masterpiece of Russian tradecraft.

It would make a chess Grandmaster weep for the level of strategy unfolding.

Aleksandr Dugin wrote the book on it.

"The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia is a geopolitical book by Aleksandr Dugin. It has had some influence within the Russian military, police, and foreign policy elites[1] and has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military.[1][2] Its publication in 1997 was well received in Russia. Powerful Russian political figures subsequently took an interest in Dugin,[3] a Russian eurasianist, fascist[4] and nationalist[5] who has developed a close relationship with Russia's Academy of the General Staff.[6]"
....

"The United Kingdom, merely described as an "extraterritorial floating base of the U.S.", should be cut off from Europe.[9"

.....

"The book emphasizes that Russia must spread anti-Americanism everywhere: "the main 'scapegoat' will be precisely the U.S."

"In the United States:

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]
The Eurasian Project could be expanded to South and Central America.[9]"

THIS BOOK WAS PUBLISHED IN 1997.


The longer it takes us to pull our heads out of the sand, to develop anti psy-war methods against the conspiracists spreading their disinformation, to overcome the hesitance to take tough counter measures, the worse it is going to get.

We didn't get to this point by accident, it was by design.
