Fears of a widening global conflict have intensified after Alexander Dugin, the nationalist Russian philosopher often described as a key ideological influence on Vladimir Putin, argued that Moscow must abandon international law and use 'brutality and force' to secure dominance in what he calls a Trumplike world order, as reported by Irish Star.
He wrote on X: 'Russia is obliged to do something horrible to restore her credibility. It is very sad that we have to use such kind of arguments. But we have [no] choice. Only brutality, force, mass destruction and cruelty matter in a Trump-like world'.
