The Strange Alliance Against America and Israel: Dr. James Lindsay on Dugin, Russia, and the New Right

49:50 Min. Listen

June 3, 2026

Why have some of the most influential voices on the populist right become increasingly hostile to Israel, skeptical of America, and sympathetic to Russia?

In this fascinating solo interview, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki sits down with cultural critic and author Dr. James Lindsay to explore the ideas of Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin and the growing influence of his worldview on parts of the American right.

Together they examine the roots of anti-globalism, the appeal of traditionalism, the rise of what some call the "woke right," and the intellectual currents connecting Russia, Iran, nationalism, and anti-Israel sentiment. They discuss why so many young people are searching for identity and rootedness, how legitimate frustrations with modern culture can be manipulated into destructive ideologies, and why the Judeo-Christian foundations of America remain essential to understanding both freedom and human dignity.

This is a wide-ranging conversation about ideas, propaganda, faith, nationalism, and the battle for the future of Western civilization.
