Trump and Dugin align on 'borscht' recipe for Europe: cede eastern flank to Russia

Newsweek reports that Donald Trump and Aleksandr Dugin, a Russian ultranationalist ideologue, share a similar prescription for Europe's crises: effectively ceding NATO's eastern flank to Russian influence while dismissing European instability. The piece suggests a convergence between Trump's stated positions and Dugin's rhetoric, though it remains an analytical claim rather than a confirmed policy shift. This matters because it signals potential alignment in U.S. and Russian narratives that could undermine NATO cohesion.
