The Ukrainian crisis has launched an arms race in Europe, which can have very many goals, said philosopher, political scientist and the leader of the Essence of Time movement Sergey Kurginyan on March 19 on The Great Game program on Channel One.
According to Kurginyan, what is happening now in Europe is a very big game, and the players want to prolong the agony of the Ukrainian army in order to frighten their own population and “proceed with another spiral of the arms race in the major European countries.”
The first among the European countries to announce increased army funding was Germany.
“An amount of €100 billion is not trillions, of course, but this is still much. Germany plans to be the number three military power after the USA and China. Would this be possible without the Ukrainian situation? No,” Sergey Kurginyan explained.
According to Kurginyan, under the guise of the speculations about helping Ukraine, the European countries are sending there their “used scrap” as weapons while starting another spiral of the armed race.
“(President of France Emmanuel ― Rossa Primavera News Agency) Macron said that the French army had to strengthen as much as to be an independent power in Europe. <…> Will the French ‘jump’ on Africa or elsewhere? But if they really want to rebuild their army, it can only be for a ‘jump,’” the political scientist stressed.
“Then take the Poles. Do the Poles want to bite off a piece of Ukraine? Do the Poles want to fight against the Germans one more time? As successfully as they did before,” Kurginyan said referring to the severe defeat of the Polish army in World War Two.
According to Kurginyan, it is not yet clear who will be next in this row, but it can already be concluded that “the Ukrainian trigger has launched an armed race in Europe.”
“But the armed race in Europe will have to shoot at something, too? And where will it shoot? Did the Germans decide that it is time for them to deal with the Poles? Or is it all about us? This is something that nobody can see or understand so far,” Sergey Kurginyan concluded.
In the end of this February German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that in the context of the Ukrainian events the Federal Republic of Germany planned to allocate a one-time €100 billion funding for the army.
“We will from now on, year after year, invest more than two percent of gross domestic product in our defense,” Scholz said.
