| "Foundations of Geopolitics" - Drehbuch für Putin? |  |
Ich habe von dieser Theorie zuletzt öfter gelesen, und ein paar Eckdaten sind tatsächlich frappierend und beängstigend. An sich liest sich das alles komplett ballaballa. Aber ein paar Punkte lassen mich leider schon aufhorchen, weil die unter Putin mittlerweile tatsächlich in die Tat umgesetzt worden sind - und bei Erscheinen des Buches 1997 zweifellos als bekloppte Hirngespinste durchgegangen wären.
Und man stellt sich momentan ja durchaus die Frage, warum Putin so handelt und was er damit beabsichtigt.
Zuerst zum Buch selbst:
"The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia is a geopolitical book by Aleksandr Dugin. It has had some influence within the Russian military, police and foreign policy elites[1 and has been used as a textbook in the Academy of the General Staff of the Russian military. Its publication in 1997 was well received in Russia. Powerful Russian political figures subsequently took an interest in Dugin, a Russian eurasianist, fascist, and nationalist who has developed a close relationship with Russia's Academy of the General Staff."]
Und jetzt ein paar strategische Empfehlungen daraus:
"Georgia should be dismembered. Abkhazia and "United Ossetia" (which includes Georgia's South Ossetia) will be incorporated into Russia. Georgia's independent policies are unacceptable."
"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"."
"Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible."

Selbst wenn das Buch mit Putins Handeln nix zu tun hat - es ist IMO zumindest keine wirklich gute Idee, so einen megalomanischen Unsinn als Lehrbuch an einer Generalstabsakademie zu verwenden...
