Alexander Dugin often called “Putin’s Brain”, has once again raised alarm bells by publicly pushing for a seven-nation expansion that would reshape the entire post-Soviet region. From Moscow’s ideological inner circle, Dugin has framed territorial conquest as a necessary state objective, arguing that international law is secondary to force. He even uses Trump’s Greenland comments as a strategic example of how great powers claim territory and why Russia must do the same. WATCH 

U.S. President Donald Trump has formally invited Russian President Vladimir Putin to take part in a proposed U.S.-backed, UN-supported Gaza Peace and Reconstruction Board, aimed at overseeing post-war governance, demilitarisation and long-term recovery following the Israel-Hamas conflict. The Kremlin has confirmed receiving the invitation, while Moscow has sought further clarification from U.S. on the board’s mandate, authority and financial structure. According to officials, the initiative would bring together more than sixty countries, including India, Brazil, Canada, Italy, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Greece and Argentina, signaling one of the most ambitious multinational diplomatic efforts tied to Gaza’s future.
