I’ve written a lot about Aleksandr Dugin, the genocidal Nazi responsible for Putin’s imperial “Eurasianist” strategy that motivated the invasion of Ukraine.
Dugin is not only influential with the Russian government, he is also influential with many American traitors, including “Putin’s General” Mike Flynn — who gave his QAnon psyops tour the same name as Dugin’s book.

Last night, Dugin effectively called for Putin’s death because of Putin’s embarrassing retreat from Kherson.
Dugin deleted his letter, but nonetheless this is a big deal.

Putin’s propagandists on his own TV channels have also totally lost the plot, which is very notable:

Putin is not going to go quietly. This is a dangerous moment. However, the signs are clear that he is losing support from his people for starting this war, and losing support from his own oligarchs and propagandists for his failure to win it.
Seems like the best he can do is astroturf protests for himself:

There is a general retreat of pro-Putin forces, kinetically in Ukraine, and politically around the world — including the U.S. This should be celebrated! 🥳
However, Putin must not be allowed to hunker down, lick his wounds, and try all over again. He should not be given a way to “save face” in Ukraine, or given any quarter or accommodation. Putin needs to be torn down and tried for war crimes in the Hague.
Autocracy needs to be taught a lesson. Fascism does not stop on its own. It must be defeated.
Putin’s American co-conspirators must be arrested and tried for sedition and treason. We can’t just allow them to fade away and plan for stealing the next election or executing the next insurrection. Unless we take advantage of this moment, it will pass into history as just another squandered opportunity.
[UPDATE] Just as I was finishing this article Dugin posted this amazing denial of what he said on his own Telegram channel. Looks like Putin was pretty pissed.
“It is clear no one will believe it.”
“TNW” = Tactical Nuclear Weapon
“SNW” = Strategic Nuclear Weapon
#ArrestMikeFlynn
I wonder if Dugin was dangling out a window when he dictated that message...
This is amazing. I'm far from a Dugin expert, but the allegedly deleted post seems more authentic than the denial. Hard to say, but if it was a fake they did a good job and either way fuck Dugin and all these traditionalist/fascist mofos.
