MIC, to be sure, he's in with it--it's hard to miss the Russian push for militarization and jingoism when it comes to their military. Even to the point of saying that production and sale of military equipment will save Russia.

Didn't realize Obama was a Eurasianist, though. Must have missed that one.

Gee, are there any actual Eurasianists in the world? Perhaps somebody who talks about Eurasia, how the future of the world is Eurasia, how Eurasia will undermine and destroy America and be dominant, how Syria is a Eurasian outpost in the Middle East and therefore a good, firm ally for even making the future regional language of Eurasia required studies?

Somebody who's firmly bipolar in his view of the world? Heading for that long sought after dream, in magnetism as well as politics, a monopole? (With the physicists likely to find their goal first, at least having skyrmions where politics just gets s-curmugeons).

No?

Well, that would be the nationalist, pro-military expansionist Eurasianist of choice, Voloden'ka Putyovka-deshovka. I know, I know, it's hard to see something when, literally, it's right under your nose.
