US strikes Iran: Who is 'Putin's brain' Aleksandr Dugin? And why is he angry at Donald Trump?

Alexander Dugin isn’t a regular pundit. He’s more Rasputin than Kissinger—equal parts political theorist, mystic nationalist, and civilisational evangelist. Born in the Soviet Union in 1962, Dugin came of age as Marxism faded and began crafting his own blend of geopolitics and esoterica. His 1997 magnum opus, Foundations of Geopolitics, proposed that Russia should dominate Eurasia, undermine the West, and forge an anti-liberal world order.
