Abdul El-Sayed defies $60 Million campaign against him, wins Michigan Democratic Senate Primary

  By Dr. Pshtiwan Faraj | Kurdish Policy Analysis Despite massive spending by outside groups and high-profile endorsements for his opponent, Abdul El-Sayed secured a decisive Democratic Senate primary victory and now heads into a closely watched November showdown. Abdul El-Sayed has scored one of the most closely watched political upsets of the 2026 election cycle, defeating Representative Haley Stevens in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary despite facing more than $60 million in outside spending , much of it from pro-Israel political groups. The victory marks a significant breakthrough for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and sets up a high-stakes general election contest against Republican Mike Rogers in November. El-Sayed's campaign prevailed even after Stevens received late endorsements from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and influential national Democrats, including Representative James Clyburn . Those endorsements failed to reverse momentum behind El-S...

Alexander Dugin’s Analysis: Why Trump Is “Losing” in the Global Political Struggle

 Alexander Dugin argues that Donald Trump is losing influence due to globalist pressure, internal constraints, and limits on political change. Full analysis.

In a recent commentary published on his Substack, Russian political theorist Alexander Dugin presents a provocative assessment of Donald Trump’s current political trajectory. Rather than focusing solely on electoral politics, Dugin frames Trump’s situation as part of a broader ideological and civilizational conflict between globalism and multipolar nationalism.

According to Dugin, Trump—once seen as a disruptive force against the global liberal order—is now facing structural and ideological limitations that suggest a weakening position.

Trump as a Symbol of Anti-Globalism

Dugin has long interpreted Trump as more than a conventional political leader. In his view, Trump represents a challenge to the globalist system that has dominated Western politics for decades.

This perspective places Trump within a larger historical struggle between:

  • Globalist institutions

  • Sovereign nationalist movements

  • Multipolar world order advocates

However, Dugin argues that symbolic influence alone is not enough without consistent execution of policy.

Constraints and Political Limitations

A central argument in Dugin’s analysis is that Trump is increasingly constrained by:

  • Institutional resistance

  • Political opposition

  • Internal divisions within his own movement

These constraints, according to Dugin, prevent Trump from fully implementing the transformative agenda associated with his earlier political rise.

Globalist Structures Still Hold Power

Despite the rise of populist movements, Dugin maintains that globalist systems remain deeply embedded within:

  • Financial institutions

  • International alliances

  • Political establishments

He suggests that these structures continue to exert influence regardless of individual political figures, limiting the impact any single leader can have.

Contradictions Between Rhetoric and Action

Dugin also highlights what he perceives as inconsistencies between Trump’s rhetoric and actual governance decisions.

In his interpretation:

  • Trump’s policies sometimes align with establishment positions

  • Promises of systemic change are not fully realized

  • Political messaging and execution diverge over time

This, Dugin argues, reflects a broader pattern of compromise.

Multipolar World Perspective

Dugin’s worldview is rooted in the concept of a multipolar global order, where power is distributed among multiple centers rather than dominated by a single global system.

Within this framework:

  • Trump’s success or failure has implications beyond the United States

  • Western political shifts affect global balance

  • Competing ideological systems are in long-term competition

Dugin positions Trump’s trajectory as one indicator of how this global struggle is evolving.

Conclusion

Alexander Dugin’s analysis presents a critical and ideological interpretation of Donald Trump’s political standing. Rather than focusing on immediate electoral outcomes, he evaluates Trump through the lens of long-term geopolitical transformation.

In Dugin’s view, Trump’s current challenges reflect broader structural realities: entrenched global systems, internal political constraints, and the difficulty of sustaining disruptive change within established institutions.

Whether one agrees with this interpretation or not, it offers a perspective on how global politics is being framed as a contest between competing worldviews rather than individual leaders alone.

Alexander Dugin argues that Donald Trump is losing not just politically but strategically, because he faces institutional constraints, internal political opposition, and the continued dominance of globalist systems that limit his ability to implement long-term ideological change.

Can the stateless Nation of Kurdistan help save the Global Order?

According to a new geopolitical analysis by Greg Mills and Basil Gavalas , the answer may not come from Washington, Moscow, Beijing, or Brussels—but from an unlikely place: Iraq's Kurdistan Region .
