Alexander Dugin, 63, has warned US president Donald Trump could be targeted by the country’s ‘deep state’ if he makes information about Kennedy’s murder available to everyone
Donald Trump may face ‘assassination attempt’ warns ‘Putin’s Brain’
A Russian ultranationalist philosopher known as ‘Putin’s Brain’ has issued a chilling warning to Donald Trump about the threat of assassination.
Alexander Dugin, 63, said the newly inaugurated US president could be a victim of the country’s “deep state”. Dugin – whose TV pundit daughter Darya Dugina, 29, was assassinated in a suspected hit by Ukraine in 2022 – said Trump’s determination to reveal US documents about John F Kennedy’a death put the US president at risk.
“Trump promises to make information about Kennedy’s murder available to everyone, to make it public, and about many crimes of the ‘deep state’ inside the USA,” said ideologue Dugin, also known as “Putin’s Rasputin”, adding: “This directly affects the interests of the special services, a huge number of influential circles.
“I think the resistance to Trump will be huge. It is impossible to rule out either an assassination attempt on him, or …terrorist attacks, or social unrest. [This has] not yet been launched, but all this is possible.”
The 2022 car bombing which killed Darya was likely intended for Dugin, seen as a key figure in the war-backing Putin propaganda machine. The pair had switched cars returning to Moscow from an event and the explosion killed her.
Dugin’s comments came after Trump accused Putin of “destroying Russia” by failing to make a deal that would put an end to the devastation suffered in its war on Ukraine. The new US president told reporters: “He has to make a deal. I think he is destroying Russia by not making a deal. I think Russia is going to be in big trouble.”
Speaking about the three-year long conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Trump slammed Putin, saying he “can’t be thrilled that he’s not doing so well.” He added: “I mean, he works hard, but most people thought the war would be over in about a week, and now it’s been three years, right?”
The Russian economy was also sinking, with inflation still a major threat, Trump added. Putin, 72, earlier said he was ready to engage with Trump but still insisted on an outcome favouring Russia. “We are open to dialogue with the new US administration on the Ukrainian conflict. The most important thing here is to eliminate the root causes of the crisis,” said the Russian ruler. An initial phone call between the two leaders is expected to take place soon.
Trump said Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky was ready for a deal to halt the debilitating conflict, and that he was set to meet Putin with whom he had a “great relationship” during his first term. “We’re going to try to do it as quickly as possible. You know, the war between Russia and Ukraine should never have started.”
He also joked about his campaign promise to end the conflict in 24 hours. “That’s only half a day. I have the other half of the day. We’ll see.”
