Dugin: If Necessary, We Can Simply Erase Europe from the Map
Russia must be prepared for a full-scale war with Europe. Of course, we do not want this war to break out; it would be of no benefit to us, and we have no reason to go to war with Europe — but there is one exception. That exception is: Europe is preparing to go to war with Russia, and is already fighting us on Ukrainian soil, while also planning to expand the form and scope of our direct military confrontation.
At present, everyone is promoting peace talk, claiming that we have no intention of starting a war and have no demands toward Europe, which should be a happy situation. However, the reality is that demands do exist — it's Europe that has demands toward us. They believe Ukraine belongs to them, while we are convinced that Ukraine is our territory. We have always emphasized that this is our internal affair, unrelated to Europe; yet they insist it is their concern, and has nothing to do with Russia.
Europe has demands toward us. They believe Ukraine belongs to them, while we are convinced that Ukraine is our territory.
The conflict of interests between us and the EU (at least its leadership) is pushing the situation into an ever-deepening abyss. They are doing everything they can to try to completely separate Ukraine from us; whereas we are doing everything we can to push Ukraine back into our sphere of influence. This is a war, and the war has already begun. But Europeans want to take this war to a new stage. We sincerely advise them not to act recklessly, but at the same time, as our president said, we also want to make it clear: we are fully prepared to face a direct war with Europe.
Vladimir Putin emphasized that our actions in Ukraine are essentially about liberating our own territory. There live our compatriots, who are indeed in a crazy situation, but we will bring them back to reason. However, to "cure" Europeans is beyond our capacity. Although European civilization still maintains the form of independence, it has already shown signs of decay and is in a state of dying struggle. The development of events will eventually lead to a result: our methods toward Europe will be much harsher than those toward Ukraine — we will directly destroy all of Europe's core military facilities and industrial systems. If necessary, we can simply erase Europe from the map.
Our actions in Ukraine are essentially about liberating our own territory. There live our compatriots, who are indeed in a crazy situation, but we will bring them back to reason.
Of course, we are very reluctant to get to this point, but we will not fight a restrained, relatively mild, and protracted war like we did in Ukraine. The reason is simple: in Ukraine, we are calming down the emotions of our compatriots; whereas when facing Europe, we need to eliminate the enemy. The valuable experience we have gained on the Ukrainian battlefield undoubtedly makes us more adequately prepared to go to war with Europe than Europe itself. Moreover, looking at Europe's pitiful mental state today — social decay, distorted moral values, rampant immigration problems, and a thoroughly degenerate younger generation — you can understand where their confidence comes from.
We do not consider Europe as an "easy prey," but regardless, we can defeat it. Moreover, we have defeated opponents far stronger than the current Europe before. Napoleon was much stronger than them, and Hitler was even more ruthless. As for dealing with these scum, perverts, madmen, corrupt people, transsexuals, and pure fanatics, we believe we can handle them completely.
If the United States gets involved in this war, it would undoubtedly be a great tragedy.
But if the United States chooses to intervene in this war, it would undoubtedly be a great tragedy. In that case, the outcome of the war would be a catastrophe. We do not want to see such a result, but we are also prepared to deal with such a situation.
