Kurginyan explains why US may want to be friends with Russia

06.01.2026, Moscow.

The US can only want to be friends with Russia to rob it or to make it fight China; therefore, we must get prepared for much greater troubles than the ones that we currently have, the leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and philosopher Sergey Kurginyan said on December 12 on the Conversation with a Sage program on Radio Zvezda.

According to the political scientist, all the national leaders today only speak about situational national interests, i.e. everyone seeks profitable friendship. And no one trusts each other.

“The Chinese do not trust us. We do not trust them. Vietnam thinks it will do better with the US that bombed it so hard with Agent Orange that they still have a huge number of congenital abnormalities. Or with the Chinese, who do not treat them much better. Central Asia thinks whether it should learn Chinese, Turkish, or English. The whole world is growing increasingly tense…” the leader of Essence of Time explained.

Sergey Kurginyan noted that Washington speaks about peace and at the same time about preventing any country from reaching even regional domination. According to the political scientist, this means that the US needs Russia to fight Ukraine and another country. It needs the world to be insecure to control these processes.

In this context, Sergey Kurginyan expresses doubt that in the current situation US President Donald Trump really controls the global processes.

“Who are you to control them? You say your primary strategy is to get rid of the migrants. Well, what will you have without the migrants? Are you going to fill your country with white decent Protestant farmers ready to fight for America any moment? That America is gone. What kind of America do you want to make great again? You have corrupted, overfed, and perverted it thus making a mess of it,” the political scientist explained.

Kurginyan added that America today is more alive than Europe, the Americans are more religious, and they see “that really some shit is coming.” This is why they elected Trump, but now they will see that Trump is not the one who can save them.

Trump would like to cancel the American “melting pot” concept, but this is impossible when the white population is shrinking. Also, his combat against migrants flies in the face of the American principle that was in force for many years: the situation all over the world must be worse than in the US, then the US will have an inflow of people and money. Cancelling this, Trump does not propose anything instead.

“The concept is simple: as soon as the US loses its carriers and printing press it moves from the number one position not to the second one but to the fourth one. And when it moves to the fourth position it will have a social catastrophe. If a social catastrophe happens, all this overfed population will make a hell of a disaster. And it will be armed. The black, the white, and whoever else,” the political scientist described the current situation in the United States.

Kurginyan explained that Trump cannot allow this to happen, and this is why the US National Security Strategy promotes the concept of US domination. And the fact that Russia is not mentioned there as an enemy does not mean that the US is our friend.

Kurginyan stressed that the US can only rob, so Russia may only want to be friends with the US if it wants to be robbed. And if there is a group in the Russian elite that wants to be friends with the US because they have US passports the Russian people will not understand that.

“They [the US] can only rob. So, you want to be robbed. Why? Because some of you already have US passports. But our nation will not approve this. And our president recently reiterated that we are getting back to self-sufficiency, just recently. So, are the Americans supposed to help us get back to self-sufficiency? Well, come on,” Kurginyan explained.

However, if the US helps Russia in restoring anything and exit the Ukrainian conflict it will be done with the only intention to further make the Russian army fight for American interests.

“If they help us strengthen our army etc., then the question is: what for will they do that? For us to fight someone? Are we ready to fight the Chinese People’s Liberation Army? Definitely not. Therefore, all these speculations about how good we are need the word ‘good’ to be subtracted as a background, and then you will see the Russian death there,” the leader of Essence of Time said.

Kurginyan also indicated that Trump does not control anything on the strategic scale, so it is ridiculous to discuss any of his long-term agreements with Moscow, which will be “thrown away as soon as he is jailed” after his term is over. Therefore, the political scientist stressed, Russia must not rely on friendship with the US, but it must advance on the Ukrainian theatre of military operations.

[We must] try to prevent any other theatres, and we must get prepared for much greater troubles than the great ones that we already have. And we must get prepared for that relying solely on ourselves but not on someone else’s doctrines,” Kurginyan concluded.
