Bannon Disciple of Aleksandr Dugin- Russian/Bolshevik Who Wants All Out War/End Times

Aleksandr Gelyevich Dugin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Ге́льевич Ду́гин; born 7 January 1962) is a Russian political scientist known for his fascist views[4][5][6] who calls to hasten the "end of times" with all out war.[7][8][9][10][11]

He has close ties with the Kremlin and the Russian military,[12][13] having served as an advisor to State Duma speaker Gennadiy Seleznyov[14] and key member of the ruling United Russia party Sergei Naryshkin.[15]

However, commentators dispute his influence: in the words of Alexander Nevzorov, "if we had had Sergey Kurginyan and Dugin instead of Putin, there would have been hell for all of us to pay, they would have unleashed a European and World War without a shadow of a doubt, without considering consequences at all."[16] But "Dugin and Kurginyan do not have the slightest impact on what is going on in the Kremlin and do not even get coaching there".[16] Dugin was the leading organizer of the National Bolshevik Party, National Bolshevik Front, and Eurasia Party. He is the author of more than 30 books, among them Foundations of Geopolitics (1997) and The Fourth Political Theory (2007).

the Muslim world. That believe it's now or never, while we are the only superpower. That the rest of the world is either 'for us or against us'.

If this were unspoken policy, maybe a Bannon/Pence policy merging fundamentalism with imperialism, how would events of the last week look any different? Yes, individual decisions like the Jerusalum/Embassy dust up, hints at Russia alliances, the ban, the DNI/JCS ouster combined with Bannon/Breitbart installation at NSC (Breitbart????), media delegitimization, deliberate distancing of CIA, miiltary build up, etc are all separately heinous...but what is the big picture reason for all these? Is there one and shouldn't mainstream media start thinking about it?

If there is an overarching sprint toward world confrontation...is it correct to stay the fate of the world rests in the hands of the republicans in congress?
