Ukraine and Neo-Eurasianism

[Scott Free]

The New World Order - The Frontier Post

"China and India, Latin America and Africa, the Islamic world and Southeast Asia – no one believes that the West leads the world order, much less sets the rules of the game. Russia has not only challenged the West, it has shown that the era of Western global domination can be considered completely and finally over.
The new world will be built by all civilizations and centers of power, naturally, together with the West (united or not) – but not on its terms and not according to its rules." - Petr Akopov

Putin’s Rasput - Skeptic

"Since the invasion began, the central motivation of the Biden administration has been trying to “contain” the conflict by restricting military aid to Ukraine to forms that Putin will not deem too provocative. This is a huge mistake. Again, Putin has a vision. It’s Dugin’s vision. He is not acting on provocation. He is acting on opportunity. He does not require legal justifications for use in the UN or world court in order to act. Rather, he will do whatever he thinks he can get away with. Since 1999, he has undertaken one aggression after another, starting in Chechnya, then Georgia, then Syria, then Ukraine. Each one tested the West, and when we failed to respond adequately, he then escalated to still more outrageous actions." - Robert Zubrin

 

What is Russia Really Thinking? - Rise to Peace

"But, there is another possibility. What if Putin expected this response? What if, despite knowing its full cost, he considered his invasion justified? What if his attack on Ukraine is motivated by a deeper ideological desire to reshape the world order and establish Russia as a new global power center, regardless of the cost?"

"Restoring Ukrainian sovereignty and challenging Russia’s expansionist agenda will require engagement and negotiation on the military, political, economic, and, perhaps most importantly, ideological level. In order to end the war, the West must understand what is really driving this invasion. Indeed, its aims may be far more ambitious than many realize." - Oliver Alexander Crisp, Counter-Terrorism Research Fellow
