In a recent interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Ben Shapiro analyzed Vladimir Putin's ideology through the lens of Aleksandr Dugin's writings. Shapiro emphasized that Dugin's geopolitical strategies aim for a 'greater Russia,' creating threats to various regions while promoting alliances with countries like Iran and China. Contrasting perspectives were noted, as Shapiro criticized Western figures who downplay Russia's ambitions. He asserted that under Putin, Russia regards itself not as a regional player but as a significant force pursuing a grand, messianic agenda.
Dugin's strategies advocate for a 'greater Russia' by threatening nations from the Baltics to the Middle East, seeking alliances with Iran and China.
Shapiro posits that Russia under Putin is a civilizational power with a messianic mission, rather than merely reacting to external threats.
