The Kremlin advisor, who was called “Putin Rasputin”, says Russia, under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin, is similar to America under President Trump – and urged Maga supporters to believe that his president is not “the bad man.”
Alexander Dugin, a Russian philosopher who is often referred to as “Putin's brain”, praised the second Trump administration as a step against globalization, and suggested the victory of the US President for the year 2024 was evidence that “a” Bottinism won in the United States.
“We have the various United States: not his stronghold and the Speaker of Globalization, but this type of sovereign national state, global power with traditional values,” Dugin told CNN's Fareed Zakaria on Sunday.
“In these new circumstances, I believe that Russia Putin and Putin personally stopped being the main enemy, the main evil man, the bad man,” he added.
“So I think scientists and Trump followers will understand much better than Russia, and who is Putin and the motives of our policy.
The philosopher concluded that “this is how … we have discovered many common points for Russia Trump and Russia Putin.”
The comparison came at a time when Trump and Putin's relationship appeared on Sunday morning, as the American president closed the Russian dictator because of his failure to adhere to the US -backed ceasefire deal in Ukraine.
Dugin did not address the last gap between Trump and Putin, but he suggested that it was very early to know whether the United States and Russia could work together to undermine “European globalization”.
Instead, Dugin called on the United States to withdraw its support from Ukraine to allow Russia to deal with Europe without tension.
He said: “I think Trump sooner or later, and perhaps sooner than we assume, will discover that Putin has nothing against the United States, there is no reason to continue fighting, and there is no reason to oppose … There is no room for competition.”
Trump had previously moved away from Putin's criticism often, often praising him as a “genius” and even indicating that Ukraine was wrong because of the Russian invasion 2022.
But the president offered the first difficult criticism in the Kremlin on Sunday, saying that he was “very angry” and “angry” in Putin because of the recent obstacles to reaching the ceasefire in Ukraine.
Trump has warned that the United States would account for a tariff from 25 % to 50 % on all Russian oil, starting next month if the ceasefire deal is not reached.
Trump had previously accused Russia of “dragging their feet” in negotiations and suggested that Moscow was trying to delay the end of the war.
Despite Trump's threats, he confirms that he still has a “very good relationship” with Putin and that the two are scheduled to speak again later this week.
