Pepe Escobar:
THIS IS IT.
Alexander Dugin:
“Putin’s words are much more important than unity with four new political subjects: it is a fundamental declaration of war against the modern West and the modern world in general. This is the manifesto of Tradition. I cannot imagine the depth of the consequences of this. Just as in the Old Testament David threw a slingshot at the giant Goliath, so it is today. It was an eschatological, religious discourse.”
Yes, it ended on an uplifting, spiritual, deeply moving register. But it was mostly crafted as a merciless geopolitical indictment: not a declaration of war but as a RESISTANCE EPIC. No question, NO ONE can imagine the consequences. The ruling classes of the West will be livid - but there’s little to nothing they can do.
It takes hypersonic balls to defy an established “order” that was supposed to be “the end of History”. THIS IS IT. History has been made.
