https://tuckercarlson.com/the-tucker-carlson.../... Dugin [00:17:13] I think that, first of all, Putin is a traditional leader. So Putin, when he came to power from the very beginning, he started to extract our country, the Russia, from the global influence. So he started to contradict the global progressive agenda. And these people who supported the Soviet Union, there were progressives and there are now progressives. So they have felt that now they were dealing with someone who doesn’t share these progressives agenda and who tried with success to restore traditional values, sovereignty of the state, Christianity, traditional family. That wasn’t evident from the beginning, from outside. But when Putin insisted more and more on this traditional agenda, I would say, on the particularity and spirituality of the Russian civilization as some special type of world region that had and has now, of very little similarities with the progressives, the progressive ideals. So I think that they have discovered, they have identified, in Putin, precisely what Putin is. So he is a kind of leader, political leader defending traditional values. So only recently, one year ago, Putin has made a decree of the political defense of traditional values. That was a turning point, I would say. But, observers from the progressive camp in the West, I think they have understood that from the beginning of his rule correctly. So, this hatred is not just casual, something casual or some mood. It is not.
Tucker [00:19:30] It’s not casual. It’s very serious.
Aleksandr Dugin [00:19:32] It’s metaphysical. So if you, if your main task and main goal is to destroy traditional values, traditional family, traditional states, traditional relations, traditional beliefs and someone with the nuclear weapon - that is not smallest, the last but not least, argument - someone with a nuclear weapon to stand strong defending traditional values you are going to abolish. I think they have some basis for this Russiaphobia and the hatred for Putin. So, it is not just by the chance. It is not some irrational change from Soviet affinity to Russiaphobia. It’s something deeper I would say. That’s my guess.
Tucker [00:20:27] It’s clearly something, it’s clearly something deeper. We felt it was important for your ideas to get an airing in English in the United States, simply because we believe in the open airing of ideas. I guess we’re liberals that way. So we’re grateful that you took the time, Mr. Dugin. Thanks.

I agree that Putin has a motivation whichi coincides with Western conservative culture.
BUt the poroblem is that he invaded a sovereign nation. Now he must be made to go to status quo ante.
Itwill be that way nowm or it will be nuclear war. Thats a war Putin cannot win. Russia will be destroyed alomng with much of Europe.But thts what will happen if this continues.
So we call Putins bluff.And if he contunues to escalate , so must the West.I predicted this scenario several years ago, and now here we are.
Putin has to accept that he must live within a larger Europe.The dominant days of the Russian Empire are over, and Putin needs to dedicate his nation to economy.So far Putin has lowered the stadard of living for Russians....a fact not unoticed even in Moscow.Putin is growing less popular these days.
