The concept of the middle war in Ukraine, in which Russia and the collective West would determine “balance of power” and establish a new geopolitical landscape in the changing world, has failed, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, philosopher and political scientist Sergey Kurginyan said on March 7 in a new issue of his original broadcast Destiny.
The analyst stresses that the West has cheated on the Russians when it promised a “middle war”, the concept Russia relied on when it began its Special Military Operation. The West, Kurginyan explains, was unofficially telling the Russians that after a while of combat a ceasefire will come, and your interests will be taken into account as well as ours, and we will see how strong you are and how strong we are and shift the balance accordingly. But now the West says no, we must not lose this war against Russia, and now all of them are saying, “it is us who is fighting there, and we must not lose this war.”
“The trap of a middle war to be followed by the acknowledgment of the results upon the test of the countries’ capabilities has been canceled by the scream [of the West] that ‘the Russian offensive is of existential importance,’ that ‘the Russians will go further,’ that ‘they will go on to conquer Europe.’ Regardless of our effort to reassure them that it is nonsense, it is not! <…> But it is a way to transform a middle war, which they promised would be limited in time (whether it is three, four or five years) into an eternal one,” Sergey Kurginyan says.
The analyst believes that the West’s next steps will be supplying longer-ranged weapons to Ukraine and final agreements to expropriate the Russian money; “several more months the US will refuse to give anything to Europe, Europe will scrape the corners to find something, it will be robbed even more, or maybe something will be provided… whatever it be, it does not matter,” the political scientist says.
Sergey Kurginyan stresses that the likelihood of a “forever war” against the West questions the Russian President Vladimir Putin’s statement in his Address to the Federal Assembly that those who return from the war should be promoted along the upward mobility channels; in particular, an administration program for the SMO veterans is to be established to promote the real elite of the country to the leading positions in civil service, politics, and other key sectors.
If a concept of an “eternal war” appears, then we need “at least, not to transform the victorious soldiers into a new elite, but something else,” the analyst believes. In his opinion, soldiers should have a chance to return not to the civil society, but to military settlements where they would be able to develop further and to teach people.
“Thus, something like the Hundred Years’ War begins… In this war, what kind of return to the civil society and upward mobility are we talking about? No one will ever return from it [the war]. Not because they will all die, but because they will continue [the war]. When they cannot continue they will retire to give way to the others. This is what we are facing,” Sergey Kurginyan says.
