"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S."

They seem to be getting that part right...

Yeah, but Russia is so isolated these days that pitting anything non-Russian vs. something else non-Russian is almost guaranteed to be advantageous to Russia.

That also doesn't change the fact that long term, China is the biggest threat to liberal democracies. In terms of geopolitics, Russia is actually quite complementary to China due to its large area having an abundance of resources to feed Chinese factories and both countries being authoritarian governments.

Russia is grossly overrated, it's a second rate power compared to US and China.

Dugin's position on China is based off fear that an rising China is a vector for Atlantism aka alignment with the west / NATO. That risk has now dissipated so Russia and China's interest are now more congruent than ever.

it's really troublesome that every country is actively trying to create chaos in other countries. I'm wondering why this is the case.

Interesting, had never thought from that angle, especially since Russia and China for most part seem chummy.

But in reality, they are neighbors and China has (or is in the process of) replacing Russia as the #2 power. So, while US has a lot to be careful for, it does indeed make sense that Russia has a more immediate threat.

If China becomes more powerful, it will start flexing muscle as the Russia-China border also, just like it flexes its muscle at its every other border.

Now, if we add that to the whole conspiracy theory about Trump and Russia, then things will start to add up even more.

Interesting...

The description of that book reads like it was penned by a highschooler who went on a camping trip took some acid and wrote down how they’d conquer the world by channeling their version of Stalin.
