A strengthened Islamist Afghanistan can become a major threat to Russia by 2024 in the context of possible loss of confidence in the authorities and the state, said philosopher, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on August 31 in a new issue of “The Meaning of the Game” broadcast.
“The heat will rise by 2024. And it will affect not only the former Central Asian republics of the USSR. It will affect Kazan, Ufa, Moscow, and certainly the North Caucasus, and elsewhere. It will reach Udmurtia, Mordovia, and many other places,” he explained.
According to the political scientist, sooner or later the “virus” of heated mistrust will rise to the authorities of all levels. When this happens, a final moral and psychological degradation of the authorities will begin.
“I know what it is from the late 1980s and early ‘90s,” the leader of Essence of Time added. He believes that contemporary Afghanistan is an example of this kind of a situation.
“The authorities and security services [of Afghanistan] could effectively resist Taliban (organization banned in Russia) for a certain time, but they did not want to anymore. They were infected with this common mistrust, which had reached a furious level,” the expert explained.
Kurginyan stressed that in a “supercritical” situation of mistrust to the authorities, centrifugal processes will escalate due around certain critical points, “and this is where Afghanistan will make a contribution.”
The political scientist noted that Afghanistan needs time to “warm up its muscles, gather up, taste some blood, build up momentum, and arm itself better.”
“The US has left all its heavy weapons ― great! There was a three hundred thousand-strong army? There will be five hundred thousand. And there will be a variety of very serious weapons, including aircraft etc., including missile forces,” he stressed.
