The Epsteino-Centric Model of the Western Power Core | Alexander Dugin

The Epstein network is just the core of the collective West. But all the other circles surrounding it—politics, culture, media, fashion, movies, education, markets, science, special services, just everything—form the layers of gravitation, attracting the masses to the island.
 
 The Epsteino-Centric Model: The Gravitational Structure of the Western Elite. 
 
The real structure of the global Western elite is Epsteino-centric. It doesn’t matter where you start—education, business, fashion, politics, science, media, prostitution, or crime—if you achieve real success in your career, you reach Epstein’s island. The elite are those who reach the central nucleus: Epstein’s island or his Zorro Ranch. There, you can become the victim or the predator. You are always both.
 

» Satanism at the Olympics: When will we overthrow the rule of pedophiles and Satanists? «
February 6, 2026, Milano Cortina Winter Olympics opening ceremony at San Siro Stadium. Official accounts describe the ceremony's "Armonia" theme as a celebration of Italian heritage and unity across host cities. occult symbolism mirror recurring Olympic critiques, such as 2012 London's torch relay seen as Illuminati-coded, typically explained as pareidolia or artistic abstraction, yet they amplify cultural tensions over secular versus religious interpretations in mass spectacles. 
1. Introduction: The Gravitational Paradigm of Western Power
In the rigorous study of geopolitical systems, traditional hierarchical models—which depict power as a static, top-down pyramid—have become increasingly insufficient for capturing the complex dynamics of the collective West. To understand the modern distribution of influence, one must shift from a linear perspective to a gravitational one. In this paradigm, power functions as a massive celestial body, exerting a constant pull that draws disparate institutional spheres toward a singular, hidden nucleus.
 
 
The “Epsteino-centric” thesis posits that the Epstein network is not a peripheral anomaly or a tangential scandal; it is the fundamental core—the very nucleus—of the Western power structure. This model argues that the architecture of the collective West is organized around this center, with every major social pillar acting as a “layer of gravitation.” While conventional analysis treats fields such as science, fashion, and politics as independent silos, the gravitational metaphor reveals how these seemingly unrelated paths of high-level success converge upon a shared point of origin and control. Understanding this nucleus is the only way to accurately map the trajectory of the modern elite.
 
 
2. Defining the Nucleus: The Center of the Collective West
Identifying the definitive “center” of a system is the primary requirement for any systemic analysis of Western institutions. Without recognizing the core, the movement of the surrounding layers appears chaotic and decentralized when it is, in fact, highly directed. In the Western structure, the nucleus serves as the ultimate destination for those who reach the apex of their respective fields.
 
The “Real Elite” are not defined by the mere accumulation of wealth or the acquisition of official titles. Instead, elite status is strictly predicated on reaching this nucleus. It serves as the definitive threshold—the final filter—separating general high-achievers from those who occupy the inner sanctum of global structural power. Reaching the center signifies that an individual has transitioned from being a professional success to becoming a functional component of the Western core.
 
 
According to the source context, this nucleus manifests in two primary geographic and symbolic locations:

Epstein’s Island
Zorro Ranch

This center exerts a constant, invisible influence, bending the light of public discourse and shaping the trajectories of all social spheres toward its own interests.


3. The Layers of Gravitation: Mapping Institutional Convergence
The stability of the Epsteino-centric core is maintained by a series of “gravitational layers.” These layers function as a dual-action mechanism: they provide the necessary “attraction of the masses” to sustain the system’s legitimacy and energy, while simultaneously filtering and accelerating high-performing individuals toward the center. These circles are not independent entities but are interconnected components of a single, unified gravitational field.
 

As individuals achieve “real success” within these specific fields, the logic of the system curves their path toward the nucleus. The following table identifies the nine distinct spheres of gravitation and their specific functions in facilitating movement toward the core:

Social Sphere—Gravitational Function
Politics: Orchestrates the legislative and administrative alignment necessary to sustain the overarching structure.
Culture: Establishes the normative frameworks that socialize the masses into accepting the system’s presence.
Media: Manages mass perception and manufactures the consent required for the system’s continued operation.
Fashion: Provides the aesthetic and social prestige that masks the underlying power dynamics of the elite.
Movies: Functions as a primary vector for myth-making and the cultural validation of elite trajectories.
Education: Shapes ideological frameworks and identifies high-potential talent for early systemic integration.
Markets: Serves as the financial engine, filtering high-level economic players toward the center through capital accumulation.
Science: Provides intellectual and technical legitimacy, ensuring the core possesses a monopoly on advanced knowledge.
Special Services: Functions as the security and intelligence apparatus, providing the “clearance” and protection required for entry into the nucleus.

These layers are not independent variables; they are the integrated machinery of a single gravitational field. Success in any one sphere is a trajectory that eventually intersects with all others at the point of the nucleus.
 
4. The Mechanism of Ascent: Career Success as a Path to the Nucleus
The meritocratic myth suggests that advancement is a reward for talent or service to the public. However, the Epsteino-centric reality is far more clinical: high-level career advancement is merely the mechanism of convergence toward the core.

A critical feature of this system is the irrelevance of starting points. The source context emphasizes that “it doesn’t matter where you start from.” This creates a profound meritocratic paradox: the system rewards the highest achievement in “clean” fields, such as science and education, with entry into the same “unclean” nucleus occupied by those from the spheres of crime and prostitution. This reveals that the most “sacred” and the most “profane” social tracks share an identical terminal velocity toward the Epstein network.

This shared destination effectively homogenizes the interests of supposedly distinct social sectors. When the top physicist, the top financier, and the top politician all terminate at the same point of convergence, their disparate professional backgrounds are superseded by their shared membership in the core.
 
 
Key Takeaways of the Ascent Mechanism
1. Systemic Terminal Velocity: Regardless of the field of endeavor—be it science, politics, or crime—the peak of Western career success terminates at the Epstein network.

2. The Indifference of Origins: The system is structurally indifferent to the moral or professional point of origin; it recognizes only the attainment of “real success.”

3. Elite Interest Homogenization: The gravitational pull toward the nucleus ensures that the interests of the elite are unified, rendering the public-facing distinctions between different social sectors irrelevant.
May 2025, Swedish MP Alexander Christiansson—a vocal pro-Israel advocate—kneeling and crying before Rabbi Eliyahu during an official delegation visit, an act of submission so embarrassing that it sparked debates on diplomatic dignity as even nearby Israeli settlers began to laugh at the display. 
» You can’t really argue that the Goyim are going to be annihilated. That’s not an option. We broke down their nationalities. (laughter). As individuals, they’re done. Their personalities… they don’t exist. They’re gone. In Modern terminology, they call it cultural Genocide. «
In this 2024 Yiddish-English lecture on messianic eschatology, drawing from texts like the Zohar, a Haredi rabbi interpretes Jewish prophecies as predicting the dissolution of non-Jews' (Goyim) cultural and national identities. 
5. Systemic Implications: The Architecture of the Collective West
The organization of a society around a secret, centralized nucleus has devastating strategic consequences. Foremost among these is the systemic collapse of meritocratic legitimacy. When “real success” in any field is predicated on reaching the Epsteino-centric nucleus, the primary loyalty of any high-level actor is no longer to their profession, their constituents, or their nation, but to the core itself.
 
 
 

The attraction of the masses to the outer layers—such as media, fashion, and education—serves as a stabilizing force for the core. The public provides the momentum and economic power that fuel these outer circles, unaware that the system is designed to siphon the most “successful” individuals toward a hidden center. The Epsteino-centric model is not merely a description of a “shadow government”; it is the hidden structural reality of how Western global power is mapped, exercised, and maintained.

6. Conclusion: The Reality of the Epsteino-Centric Structure
This sociopolitical analysis identifies a Western power architecture that is far more centralized and cohesive than public narratives suggest. By synthesizing the relationship between the nucleus (Epstein’s Island/Zorro Ranch), the gravitational layers of social institutions, and the trajectory of elite careers, we find a system of total convergence.

The strategic reality of this model is that the Epstein network is not an outlier, a glitch, or a temporary failure of oversight. It is the functional core—the self-organizing heart—of the current Western sociopolitical system. The elite are not “recruited” in the traditional sense; they are “pulled” by the very logic of success. Any geopolitical or systems analysis that ignores this nucleus is functionally obsolete and strategically blind.

We need to speak about Epstein incessantly. That creates the global narrative exposing the corrupted liberal globalist Western elites and undermines their power. Epstein is the West. Not the casualty, but the very essence of it. All of the ruling class of the West is Epstein.

Epstein is the real essence of capitalism. Socialism was an annoying, cruel, and evil thing. I had experience with it, and I didn't like it at all. But modern Western liberal capitalism is the real catastrophe. It is much worse. It is Epstein.

The only way out of the hell that the modern West is in is a return to the Christian faith, to the Church, and to sacred Tradition. Zero tolerance for modernity. Otherwise, the criminal satanist oligarchs sooner or later will have you.

Modern society is helpless and defenseless in front of the cruel reality of the fallen angels. If you are sure Satan doesn't exist, you are already caught in his nets. What we have now is the terminal station of a long, long journey that started with the Renaissance and Protestantism.

The Zionist Grip: Pedophilia and Cannibalism Rule the West | Laith Marouf

We now have absolute proof that Jewish supremacists and pedophilic cannibals rule the West. Obviously, if anything is going to catalyze a revolt among the Western population, this should be it. Honestly, if the people do not revolt after seeing this evidence, nothing will move them. It is sad that nations are ruled by such elites. Every day I discover more; the various 'conspiracy theories' people once held, such as 'PizzaGate,' now seem like child’s play. It appears that people lacked sufficient imagination in their theories when compared to the reality of these Epstein files.
 
» 
Arab monarchs are integrated into this same ring of depravity. «

As a voice from the Arab world, I believe we now also have proof that the Arab monarchs installed after World War I to oversee regional oil and gas fields are integrated into this same ring of depravity. For an Arab and a Muslim, perhaps the most shocking revelation involves the Kiswah—the sacred shroud of the Kaaba in Mecca. This holy relic, which millions of pilgrims travel to touch, was gifted to Epstein, an act that underscores the moral decay within the Saudi leadership. Furthermore, the record now includes photographs of Muhammad bin Salman with Epstein, alongside files implicating the elites of the UAE, Qatar, and beyond. Even the former Prime Minister of Lebanon, Saad Hariri, is cited in these documents. We are witnessing how the regional vassals of the West are fundamentally compromised; they are placed in power precisely because their participation in these acts provide the 'kompromat' necessary to ensure they remain permanent instruments of Western policy.

»
They are used to filling their bellies for centuries with human flesh, and their 
pockets with money. But they need to realize that the Vampire's ball is ending. «
Vladimir Putin on Western elites, March 13, 2024.
 
Another interesting element is the arrogance of the Zionists. It is a fundamental dysfunction in society. The United States claims to be 'number one' globally, yet it maintains an underlying narrative that Zionists are superior to American citizens—a society that teaches its people they are second-rate compared to the 'Chosen People.' Why wouldn't the Zionists believe it is acceptable to exploit the Goyim? They believe they belong at the front of the line because they are smarter and better. What kind of society claims to be the best while simultaneously admitting it is second? Everything about this is pathological.

 
Reading Epstein’s email exchanges regarding 'blood quantum'—calculating the percentage of a person's Jewish heritage—is revealing. Seeing the correspondence of Noam Chomsky, an idol of the 'Leftovers' who essentially agrees with these racist blood quantum theories, is jarring. They discuss Black people as having lower IQs and speak of non-Jewish humans as 'vassals'—bodies empty of souls. This is how they discuss humanity. Many have resisted the idea that Jewish supremacy holds such sway over the Western elite, but we now have the proof. I suspect searches for the word Goyim have increased exponentially in the US as people realize this is how they are viewed: as soulless bodies, fit only to be exploited, abused, raped, killed, and cannibalized.
 
 » Last week, the Israelis attempted to break a record for kidney transplants—4,000 in a single day. 
Those almost certainly came from kidnapped and murdered Palestinians. «
 
» The defeat of Western elites can only happen through
internal revolt—which I doubt—or military defeat. «
 
This is the world we inhabit. Do people close their eyes and pretend it isn't happening? Children globally are falling victim to this, including many white children. Even if one lacks concern for Palestinian or African children, one should certainly care about their own. A significant portion of the children targeted for this pedophilia and cannibalism were of European and American backgrounds.

Global Public Sentiment Shift toward China | Pew Research Center

The 2025 global public opinion landscape is no longer a static map of American dominance. While the US maintains a median favorability of 49% compared to China’s 37%, the Pew Research Center’s Spring 2025 survey reveals a significant "closing of the gap." Over the past year, views of the US turned negative in 15 of 24 surveyed countries, while sentiment toward China improved in 15 of 24. This shift is most visible in the "favorability freefall" occurring in North America (Canada, Mexico) and Europe (Poland), contrasted with China’s steady gains in the Global South.

dominant "Top-Left" pro-US cluster and the emerging "Bottom-Right" pro-China cluster.
Source: Spring 2025 Global Attitudes Survey, Pew Research Center. 
 
The primary driver of this shift is a historic change in economic perception. For the first time in the tracking series, more people globally now identify China as the world’s leading economic power (41%) than the United States (39%). This is a major departure from 2023, when the US held a comfortable lead in this category.
 
» The US is increasingly cited as a top security threat. «
 
This pivot is most extreme in Mexico, where the sentiment shift has been near-total. Favorability toward the US crashed from 61% in 2024 to just 29% in 2025. Simultaneously, 45% of Mexicans now prioritize economic ties with China over the US, a massive jump from just 15% a decade ago. In nations like Indonesia and South Africa, China is now named as the most important ally, while the US is increasingly cited as a top security threat. 
 
Public sentiment has also been heavily influenced by a lack of international confidence in US President Donald Trump compared to Chinese President Xi Jinping.
  • The Trump Deficit: In 19 of 24 countries, confidence in the US president is low. In Mexico, confidence in Trump stands at a staggering 8%, while in major European 'allies' like Germany and France, it hovers at 25% or lower.
  • The Xi Rise: While Xi's overall confidence remains low (25% median), it has actually increased in 16 countries over the last year. In Mexico, people are now four times more likely to trust Xi (36%) than Trump.
     
» We are ruled by satanic pedophiles who work for Israel. «
Candace Owens, February 1, 2026.
 
Perhaps the most telling sign of a long-term shift is the demographic divide. In nearly every nation, adults under 35 are significantly more favorable toward China than those over 50. Even in the US, younger Americans are 20 points less likely to view China with "very unfavorable" eyes than the oldest generation.

George Galloway, February 1, 2026.
 
While "fortresses" of pro-American sentiment remain—specifically in Israel (83% favorability) and South Korea (61%), the 2025 data suggests that the world is transitioning from a US-led consensus to a more fragmented reality where China’s economic influence is increasingly welcomed.
 
Well, that was in spring of 2025... now, just imagine the Pew Research Center's Spring 2026 survey results...

ICE and the Rise of Trump's Meta-Palantir-X Police State | Stew Peters

There are individuals claiming the mantle of patriots, freedom fighters, or "America First" advocates who are actively cheering for ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and Border Patrol raids within the American interior—cities like Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is worth noting that these operations have demonstrably failed to usher in the promised mass deportations.

 » Testing ground for implementing new technologies. «

We recognized from the outset that these raids are not truly about mass deportations, nor are they designed to remove illegal invaders. If that were the objective, the military would be in charge of the operation. Instead, what we are witnessing is a federal law enforcement maneuver intended to habituate the American public to the presence of heavily armed state agents patrolling neighborhood streets. These operations serve as a testing ground for implementing new technologies—specifically Artificial Intelligence—designed to transform this country into a police state and a surveillance apparatus that would surpass the reach of the Soviet Union's secret police.

This surveillance state is being constructed to facilitate the tracking, policing, and even the extrajudicial killing of American citizens who find themselves in opposition to the government and its financial benefactors. We are now seeing video evidence that confirms our prior warnings. Recently, footage went viral showing Border Patrol agents in Illinois wearing Meta-produced AI glasses. Agents used these devices to photograph protesters, presumably to integrate their images into federal databases and populate their "Palantir" profiles.

» Weapons of choice against the American people. «
 
While Meta publicly claims these glasses lack facial recognition, college students have already modified the exact same hardware to scan the internet and identify individuals instantly. If twenty-year-olds can achieve this, the capabilities available to the engineers at Meta—and by extension, the Department of Homeland Security—are far more profound. Given Mark Zuckerberg’s newfound alignment with Donald Trump, the Meta Ray-Bans worn by federal agents clashing with protesters are capable of much more than simple photography. It appears that Meta, the federal government, and various "Big Tech" AI corporations—including Palantir and X—are utilizing domestic chaos to field-test the very technologies and implementation methods they intend to permanentize. Welcome to the AI surveillance state; it has already arrived.

[...] We are entering a new era because the public is, in many ways, inviting it. We are seeing the rise of federal "robo-cops" equipped with AI sunglasses and mobile devices linked to facial recognition networks, scanning cities as if participating in a simulated urban warfare environment. Their priority is not the deportation of undocumented immigrants—noting that only approximately 350,000 were removed in 2025—but rather the installation of a police state. By fostering a chaotic and dangerous environment, they encourage citizens to plead for more agents and more control. The concept of mass deportation is being used as a rhetorical device to gain public consent for constant surveillance.
 
We have recently learned from a source within Turning Point USA that members of Charlie Kirk’s security team were wearing AI glasses, similar to those used by the DHS, to scan crowds and coordinate with drone swarms and remote-viewing systems. This technology is being utilized to target and eliminate Americans, and the cases of Alex Pretti and Charlie Kirk are merely the beginning. We are witnessing the birth of a system where constant scanning and identification are the weapons of choice against the American people.

China, Russia Must Manage 'Orderly' US Decline | Huang J. and S. Karaganov

The year 2026 opened with a series of maneuvers by the United States that continue to unsettle the global landscape. Beneath the surface of international diplomacy, powerful undercurrents are surging. Even as the aftershocks of the military strike on Venezuela linger, Donald Trump has turned his sights toward Greenland, alternating between economic buyouts and martial threats.

» The Americans are withdrawing to the Western Hemisphere.  They are transitioning into a "normal" regional power. «               1941 political cartoon by Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss) satirizing "America First" isolationism. An elderly woman in an "America First" sweater reads "Adolf the Wolf" to two horrified children, remarking: "...and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... but those were foreign children, and it didn't really matter."

An elderly woman in an "America First" sweater reads "Adolf the Wolf" to two horrified children, remarking: "...and the Wolf chewed up the children and spit out their bones... but those were foreign children, and it didn't really matter."
This predatory posture—where even allies are not spared—raises a fundamental question: Is this the brute assertion of a military hegemon, or the final, desperate thrashings of a superpower in decline? As the rift between the US and Europe widens over the Greenland dispute, and the very foundations of the NATO alliance tremble, what kind of shockwaves will the global order sustain?

Huang Jing: Regarding the abduction of Venezuelan President Maduro and the First Lady—an act of blatant violent aggression—how do you foresee its impact?

Sergey Karaganov: To be clear, we are still operating without full transparency regarding the facts; the abduction is peculiar, appearing almost like a choreographed performance. While clearly the work of US security apparatuses, their local facilitators remain in the shadowsHowever, the trend is undeniable: Trump and the US are attempting to pivot back to the Western Hemisphere as they retreat from global leadership. This process began 15 to 17 years ago, though it went largely unremarked by the masses. 

Huang: We only truly grasped it about 15 years ago.

Karaganov: Exactly. Circa 2006 or 2007. It was an internal discussion then, but the trajectory was visible. Notably, when Obama took office, his instinct was an "America First" strategy, but he was constrained by the globalist factions surrounding him. 
The kidnapping of Maduro and the "piracy" of seizing oil tankers are criminal acts. Yet, there is a "silver lining": the Americans are withdrawing to the Western Hemisphere. They are transitioning into a "normal" regional power rather than a global hegemon, shedding the pretense of world leadership. It is a double-edged sword. While we must condemn the incredible crime of abducting an elected leader, we are seeing a strategic retreat. For years, I have argued that we must create the conditions to help the US exit its global role—without triggering a world war.
 
» US decline isn't the problem; the "disorder" of that decline is the catastrophe. « Aggression as a symptom of decay: POTUS claiming US used classified "Disruptor"  weapon to paralyze Venezuelan defense systems in order to hijack Nicolás Maduro.
» US decline isn't the problem; the "disorder" of that decline is the catastrophe. «
Aggression as a symptom of decay: POTUS claiming US used classified "Disruptor" 
weapon to paralyze Venezuelan defense systems in order to hijack Nicolás Maduro.
 
Huang: Agreed. I recall your work on "Disorder," suggesting that a chaotic US decline is a threat to us all. This hegemonic fatigue began because the US simply could not sustain the post-1991 international system. You cite 2006; I would argue the definitive cracks appeared by 2008.

Karaganov: The decline of Western hegemony actually dates back to the 1960s. The signs were there, but ignored. When the USSR achieved nuclear parity, the foundation of a 500-year-old Western dominance began to crumble. After the Soviet collapse, the West—and the US specifically—fell into a state of "euphoria," believing they had reversed the tide of history. This lasted barely 15 years before Russia began to reconstitute its position and China emerged as a titan. Blinded by their "victory," the American elite made massive strategic blunders. They essentially subsidized China's rise, naively believing that capitalism would inevitably lead to a "democracy" that would act as a US satellite. When reality failed to meet their visions, they doubled down on failed invasions—Afghanistan, Iraq. By 2008, the internal decision to begin a long-term withdrawal had already taken root.

Huang: I agree, though I’d add a nuance: China’s rise wasn't merely a gift from the US. It was the result of correct internal policies and a desire to integrate into the global system to reform it from within. The US "vision" of a peaceful evolution into a Western-style state was indeed a profound miscalculation.

Karaganov: I don't disagree, but consider this: China’s development was facilitated by the Soviet/Russian security umbrella. Even when China was militarily weaker, the US never dared a direct strike. Furthermore, the US committed the ultimate strategic error. Through their actions, they pushed Russia and China—natural neighbors—into an unbreakable de facto alliance. Over the last 15 years, this "quasi-alliance" has effectively doubled the strategic weight of both nations. It is an monumental failure by Western competitors.
 
» The US will never come to the rescue of Europe. « 
 
Huang: From a historical perspective, we remember how the USSR helped build China’s industrial base. Yet the USSR also suffered from overexpansion—Afghanistan being the fatal error—which led to the fragile US-China cooperation of the 1980s to contain Moscow.

Karaganov: Indeed. But it wasn't just overexpansion; it was arrogance. Khrushchev’s arrogance toward Mao in the 50s and the refusal to aid China’s nuclear program were grave miscalculations.

Huang: Yet China succeeded regardless.

Karaganov: Yes, and that autonomous development secured China’s strategic autonomy for decades. Had we helped then, the rapprochement with Nixon might never have been necessary. History would be unrecognizable. But today, the US is committing the greatest error of the modern era. Post-1991, they mistook their moment for permanent "Globalist" dominion. They tried to export "universal values" through Color Revolutions and the Arab Spring—all of which failed. Now, they are retreating into the Western Hemisphere because they must, not because they want to. 
  
Huang: As you famously said: US decline isn't the problem; the "disorder" of that decline is the catastrophe. Does the invasion of Venezuela reflect a managed exit or a chaotic one?

Karaganov: Let’s put it this way: Russia and China should work together to facilitate an orderly decline for the United States. This is in everyone's interest, including Washington's. The US was an "accidental" global hegemon. Before WWII, they were an economic powerhouse but a geopolitical non-factor. They became the world leader with very little capital investment because Europe collapsed and the USSR was exhausted.

Now, as the "Global South" and China rise, the West realizes it can no longer control the very system of free trade and international law it created. So, they have begun to sabotage their own system—using sanctions and breaking trade rules—because they can no longer win by the old rules. In Ukraine, the Biden administration initially thought they could isolate Russia from Europe. They succeeded in creating a rift, but now that they see Russia is willing to escalate—even to the nuclear level—they are looking for the exit. Trump is vocal about withdrawal, but Biden started the process. I saw it myself: Biden's 2022 New York Times piece, where he set "red lines" for the US (no direct entry, no regime change), was the first signal of the American retreat.

 Zelensky, Starmer, Macron, and Merz, December 8, 2025.

Huang: You warned the Americans in 2012: "You are pushing us into a corner, and you will end up in one yourselves." In 2020, you argued that the goal wasn't just defeating Ukraine, but dismantling the Western international system itself—a system used as a tool for hypocritical hegemony. Do you still stand by that?

Karaganov: Absolutely. And we are succeeding. By raising the stakes, we have essentially pushed the US out of the war. We made them realize that Russia would risk nuclear conflict over Europe. Biden never explicitly promised to fight for Europe if it were attacked; he only spoke of "support." Now, Russia’s objective is to break the will of the European elites. Europe has historically been the source of the world's greatest troubles—colonialism, racism, world wars. They are currently drifting toward a Third World War. Our strategic long-term goal should be to push Europe to the periphery of the global stage, creating systemic conditions where their current "sinister" elites are rendered obsolete.

Huang: On that point, you and Trump seem to be in total agreement.

Karaganov: (Laughs) I said it first.
