GEOPOLITICAL DEBATE: MEARSHEIMER VERSUS DUGIN
An interesting debate between two intellectual power houses from East and West, Prof. Alexander Dugin and Prof. Mearsheimer on the subject if the new Trump administration will be able to come to a peace agreement with Russia on the conflict in Ukraine. Both men agree on the whole on the problems -- and even the paradoxes -- to overcome if there is ever going to be a negotiated solution. One of the main things to overcome, not to say the problem to overcome, is the West's ideology undergirding of its hegemonic attitude, namely liberal democracy. This point is even further exacerbated by the notion that this ideology is not partisan, but considers itself the perfect state of universal neutrality. Which evidently it is not. It is a particular stance, like any other.

However, the signs are there that with the onset of extreme individualism, otherwise known as wokeism, liberal democracy has been existentially exhausted.
If anyone stands symbol of its demise, it is President Trump. Both debaters are not overly optimistic that Trump will be catalyst for paradigm change, but Trump may surprise everyone yet.
A further basic problem is that Americans see their liberal democrat ideoology as the beginning and end of the modern era. This causes them to reject and negate historical world events and circumstances they were not part of.
Alexander Dugin is trying to remedy the issue by a short, but very interesting expose on Ukraine's and Novorossian history. What do liberal democrats know about history or ethic identity?
The fallout of the geopolitical blunders the Biden regime made in the last four years are most probably irreversible. The alliance between Russia and China will be hard to overcome, but Dugin is optimistic on exactly that subject.
In the latest news, President-elect Trump has invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend his inauguration on January 20, and who knows, he might also invite Russian President Vladimir Putin in a clever geopolitical move.
