At the “Provoked or Unprovoked: The Origins of the Russia-(NATO)-Ukraine War” conference, I stood alongside Clare M. Lopez, co-founder of Conservatives4Ukraine, to defend Ukraine’s cause amid a crowd with divided perspectives. My speech exposed the ideological roots of Russia’s aggression—Marxism-Leninism and Alexander Dugin’s Eurasianism, which I likened to Nazism’s role in WWII. These toxic ideologies drive Russia’s global propaganda, infiltrating both left and right through outlets like RT and movements like QAnon, sowing division in the West.
I highlighted Russia’s 25-year manipulation of Western conservatives, falsely posing as a Christian bulwark against wokeism—a communist subversion itself. This deception has swayed figures like Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, amplifying Eurasianism’s dangerous appeal. I criticized the West’s moral and strategic failures, particularly forcing Ukraine to surrender its nuclear arsenal to Russia, and called for decisive action: stronger sanctions, unwavering support for Ukraine, and purging pro-Russian influences from Western politics, especially within the Trump administration.
This war is a battle of good versus evil. We must reject the legitimacy of tyrannies like Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, empowering their people to dismantle them. With courage and clarity, we can counter Russian and Chinese manipulation, secure a free world, and end this conflict. Join Conservatives4Ukraine on Facebook or X to stand with us.
