This is essentially a phenomena of Duginist anti-Americanism that combines itself with a “Nationalism” that embraces even communist crapholes like Cuba.
While I appreciate someone who kills journalists just as much as the next guy, this sort of ideology is utterly anti-American despite its lip service to anti-globalism and American patriotism.

Rather eloquent, but had to look up Duginist, ideology of Aleksandr Dugin , Russian political analyst, strategist and philosopher known for his fascist views, leading organizer of the National Bolshevik Party, key member of the ruling United Russia party Sergei Naryshkin, of author of more than 30 books, and who calls to hasten the "end of times" with all-out war.
