Russian philosopher and geopolitical thinker Alexander Dugin frames the current confrontation not simply as a struggle for territory or influence, but as a moral and civilizational conflict between what he describes as Western hegemony and forces resisting foreign domination.
From Dugin’s ideological perspective, the message contains three central arguments:
The Resistance as a Legitimate Struggle
Dugin regards military pressure against the so-called Axis of Resistance, particularly Iran and Ansar Allah, as an expression of Western imperial power. He portrays their actions not as aggression, but as a struggle for sovereignty, independence and the preservation of traditional values.
Pressure Could Produce Wider Alignment
His warning that
“it is not all”
suggests that the confrontation may not remain confined to its current actors.
In Dugin’s reading, continued pressure on Iran and Ansar Allah could produce the opposite of its intended effect: more states, movements and anti-Western forces could be pushed toward greater coordination with the resistance camp.
The more the pressure expands, the wider the potential alignment becomes.
“New Surprises” and a Shifting Balance
Dugin’s reference to “new surprises” reflects his broader belief that the existing international order is entering a period of structural transformation.
For him, the issue is ultimately larger than one battlefield or one alliance. He sees a growing confrontation between a Western-led unipolar order and an emerging coalition challenging its political, military and ideological dominance.
The Strategic Message
Whether one accepts Dugin’s worldview or not, the underlying warning is significant:
Attempts to isolate or destroy one resistance actor can potentially generate wider strategic alignment rather than submission.
The question is therefore no longer simply who controls the battlefield, but how many actors may eventually enter it.
“IT is Not All. There Will be New Surprises.”
The next phase may reveal whether the current confrontation remains regional — or develops into a much broader geopolitical realignment.
