Alexander Dugin, though I hear him spoken of as if a great Russian philosopher of our time, rarely seems to have an understanding of anything that's based in reality (at least based on reading pieces such as this that I have seen by him on Substack). His writing reminds me of Slavoj Zizek's gibberish verbiage. Somehow, both seem far better known than better contemporary philosophers like John Ralston Saul, who actually discuss reality, rather than Lacanian rubbish using bad math to dazzle the plebs (Alan Sokal's writeup on Lacan ought to have discredited him ages ago, but I digress).
Read any decent geopolitical analyst, and the killing of Nasrallah was strategically and tactically almost inconsequential in contrast to the degree it is exaggerated. He was the spokesperson of Hizbullah and its spiritual leader, but it is not lacking in civil or military leaders. Neither it nor the Axis of Resistance as a whole are affected all that much; the reality is a far cry from being that "the very existence of the Axis of Resistance is now in question."
If this is understood, the rest of this piece simply falls apart, and sounds like nonsense coming from an author who is unable to see the forest for the trees. Maybe all of this Israel stuff is new to Dugin, I don't know, but all this is far from "unprecedented" and all of it goes back a long time. It is in fact all rather precedented and unsurprising, and unlikely to change the fate of Israel.
"Israel is setting goals to create a great state," Dugin writes, as if unaware it has already fought to make itself into a powerful state ages ago and outlived that era; unaware that every nation in decline declares its omnipotent power and most ambitious goals of conquest immediately before its death. If a nation should appear invulnerable and mighty, it is most fragile indeed! Although Israel might be well capable of starting an apocalypse, it is likely only its own world that is ending. Don't fall for Israel's own eschatological insanity.

To be clear, I’m NO fan of Iran or muzzies in general but respectfully, you completely dismiss Iran’s missile capability!!!! During that deliberately choreographed charade response to Israel’s bombing of the consulate in Damascus, Iran purposefully used its slowest, weakest drones to facilitate its openly planned tepid response ON PURPOSE! This was done to ferret out exactly where Israeli interception rockets would be coming from so when Iran actually wants to strike Israel with their heavy duty ballistics, they know EXACTLY where Israeli response rockets will be coming from! ISRAEL GOT PLAYED!!! And the notion that you don’t even address this reality is positively shocking! This omission is a damning indictment of either your lack of knowledge OR your deliberate subversion of the truth?!?!
We will see if your estimate of Iran’s missiles is correct. But one thing Iran does have that is even more effective is its ability to shut down the Straits of Hormuz. Shutting off the West’s oil supplies quickly puts the US and Europe into a panic. Americans paying $8 a gallon for gas will quickly change their minds about supporting the terrorist state of Israel. Even Genocide Joe and Kamala would be unable to keep the arms flowing to Israel after that. It’s a wonder to me why Iran hasn’t done so yet.
Again, I’m NO fan of muzzies or the small hats but Israel’s goose has been cooked as they now KNOW Iran can reach them with the gnarly ballistics….Iran deliberately targeted ONLY the non-citizen targets(air base) AND they did it at night!
Not sure if you listen to Scott Ritter, Col. Douglas Macgregor, Prof. Jeff Sachs and Prof. John Mearsheimer and Max Blumenthal, but according to all of them, Iran has the motherload stockpile of the nastiest ballistics lying in wait and now knows many of Israel’s rocket response launch locations ….as to the SOH, remember— Iran wouldn’t only be punking the USA and Israel with that power play but the entire world. Iran would be making a TON of enemies right when they need international sympathy the very most. That’s a lotta hungry, innocent mouths not getting fed when oil/gas supplies are brutally constricted and overvalued like that. That seems like an incredibly dicey move for them to make. It’s great for them they always have that ace of spades in their back pocket but it seems premature to use it now…. Maybe you have an understanding different than me?
Iran and Hezbollah must act now, as Israel fights two wars Israel is not as they think it has a weak economy and her people are tired, USA will not enter this war as long as it can be kept local
Jews, Christian and Muslims are all pawns in a game where they have been pitted against each other to destroy humanity by a handful of wannabe God's who wish to usurp the throne of God Almighty our Creator. These three major religions are branches from the same tree, and their prophets would abhor the blasphemous blood shed occurring in the name of God. The entire global leadership is compromised, and the world worships at the altar of the almighty dollar. No messiah is coming to save us. Humanity together as a whole has to rise up and reject this fabricated ideology of elitism and entitlement.
The religion brought by the prophets of the Bible and the Quran preached absolute justice and truth under the umbrella of compassion and mercy.
Humanity is at a cross-roads and we must choose, a life of permanent imprisonment dictated by a morally vacant group of individuals who live by one rule only 'might is right'
Or we choose, not to be divided, by holding tight to the rope of God.
God has sent all his messengers and all the guidance we need, in this moment we decide to be like the people of Jonah or the people of Noah, and the outcome of both paths is well known
Bible refers to gog and magog will attack Israel to take a spoil.
Two theories on who magog is. Some believe Russia and some believe it is Turkey.
To me Russia makes no sense as orthodox Christianity in Russia continues to grow and Israel has no spoils that Russia needs. I also don’t believe Russia has any global domination goals as Putin a nationalist and patriot not a globalist.
A coalition led by Turkey and Iran makes the most sense.
God has a covenant with Israel so no matter who it is they will be soundly defeated.
God has no Covenant with the Ashkenazi mongrels led by the Rothschilds, who are essentially the Samaritans as they have mixed with multiple people groups over the past 2000 years, along with a lot of incest.
Revelation 2:9, and 3:9
God's people are who follow Christ, those who claim to follow God but reject Christ are of their father, the devil; these openly display the star of Remphan (Amos 5:25-27, Acts 7:43).
Gog and Magog isn't talking about some end times war, it's talking about 70AD:
Bruce Gore - The Fall of Jerusalem and the Apocalypse
All of what you write is debatable, but great comments.
Concerning gog and magog being 70AD is a preterist point of view, while magog and gog as yet to come is a futurist point of view. Neither is worth being dogmatic about.
As far as the nation of Israel God says to bless them (nation not individuals) and be blessed. Im sticking to that one however wouldn’t give them a nickel of security/military assistance. Cheer leader nothing more.
WRONG!!! Scripture does NOT belong to the Jews, they are not the Israelites. Israelites are the White race, Jews are the Edomites, Canaanites and other tribes grafted into Jerusalem during the Maccabee period. Duh
"Ah, sinful nation! A people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward... How is the faithful city become an harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers!"
{Only a force that is comparable in strength, equipment, and determination to violate all possible laws and cross any red lines can fight such an iron enemy.}
Russia! Russia! Russia! Israel sans the USA does not exist and the Axis of Resistance will prevail. The greatest fear of the West has always been Putin's success and bringing peace to the entire Middle East.
Yes but we all know Russia has been showing great aplomb since this unfolded. Putin has repeatedly warned if they did not pull back he would attack both Europe (the Countries facilitating these strikes) in addition to Washington DC.
The USA cannot fight wars on two fronts regardless of it's bellicose posturing. And Israel cannot fight the Axis of Resistance sans the USA and it's continued military support. And lets keep in mind, both China and North Korea are also waiting in the wings. If you neuter the USA this changes everything.
I've always believed this very scenario was all premediated. The USA and NATO have been vastly attenuated while Russia et al have allegedly accomplished the exact polar opposite - setting the stage for massive supremacy and dominance. Both these wars in my personal opinion are about securing the trade routes and shipping corridors and the race regarding who will succeed. Russia, China and multipolarity, or the USA and it declining hegemony.
Aplomb or not, Russia isn't in a position to attack both Europe and Washington DC, unless he launches nuclear missiles, in which case everyone loses. I think you are overestimating Russia's strength if you think it can attack NATO with any real hope of achieving a victory.

For the USA a broken Israel is a gain
Israel will be erased,eventually…nukes or no nukes…the Muslim population ensures this, Christians would be wise to follow them…

Russia is struggling to deal with Ukraine. How exactly could Russia attack Israel? And what possible benefit would there be for Russia?
Yes but we all know Russia has been showing great aplomb since this unfolded. Putin has repeatedly warned if they did not pull back he would attack both Europe (the Countries facilitating these strikes) in addition to Washington DC.
