1. The PNAC Iraq debacle was born to create a new American century

In 1997 the Russia new Russian century project was born.

"... a Russian political scientist named Aleksandr Dugin and a serving Russian General named Nikolai Klokotov sat down and wrote a text that would become the foundation of Russian geopolitical strategy over the next 20 years. It was called “Foundations of Geopolitics” and it was all about how Russia could reassert itself in the world."
...
"...calls for Russia to “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 destabilising (sic) internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics.”
...
"...rejects democracy, and places nationalism at the heart of how geopolitics should operate. It is essentially a wholesale rejection of the globalisation (sic) that Western economies have engaged in during the past four decades."

May Putin's Russian plans follow PNAC's people to hell.

at least vandalize it and trash it

The Russian mentality: "I'll make my house look good by burning down the neighbor's house"

From March 2017. Starts with Dugin... remember him? Bannon called him his ideological soul mate.

Some interesting connections I was not aware of!

Putin and Trump are the worst things to happen to the U.S. and the rest of the world. It's astounding how much of Putin's plan he has accomplished already, and so easily. And the havoc and destruction continues. I hope they can be stopped.
