(11,730 posts)If you look at the larger and longer term strategy as discussed by Alex and GliderGuider, they are talking about Alexander Dugin, who is a sociologist in Russia, who in the late 1990's wrote a book on Russia's place in the geopolitical world. He headed the New Bolshevik movement and when Putin became president, his status grew. He is seen as a top strategist in the Kremlin.
Dugin talks about a Eurasian empire and a method by which Russia begins to reestablish its power over all of Europe through attacks on liberalism and America as it's number one sponsor in the world. Dugin discusses destabilizing the European continent then reestablishing ties through Franco-German Alliances, and a Berlin-Moscow Axis. The main goal is to isolate then defeat the US, and not in a military sense but through the establishment of a new politics based on European identity (read Russian identity).
It sounds conspiratorial and weird but there is a lot going on that points to this process occurring now.
California is a large, prosperous state in the Union, but that will not protect us if this ideology remains effective in infiltrating the nation.
