“Because he’s gone crazy” - Kurginyan explained what to do with Lukashenko
Despite the obvious surrender of positions by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko at the beginning of the protest movement in the country, the Belarusian authorities are gradually coming to their senses. The West began to make mistakes, and the confrontation moved into the phase of a protracted war, which will end in victory only if there is rapprochement with Russia.
The leader of the Essence of Time movement, political scientist and publicist Sergei Kurginyan said this via video link on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In Belarus, some forces hoped that they would be able to carry out a blitzkrieg. The Western blitzkrieg in Belarus has been thwarted. It was picked yesterday in Mogilev.
Now a completely different time is coming, the conservative part of the Belarusian population, which is very difficult to mobilize, and which played very poorly in this sense, has finally come together, it has understood everything. All Belarusian intelligence began to mobilize,” Kurginyan said.
“Can we say that the other side has stopped activity? No. She does the work, she does it quite decisively. As for who is to blame, the authorities are always to blame, and not the organizers of the Orange Revolution - they always do their job, they catch their mice, they are our enemies. The rain is not to blame for the fact that you got wet, it’s your fault for not taking an umbrella,” the expert figuratively explained.
He noted that it is unlikely that Lukashenko did not realize that they were preparing against him, but he was confused and did not know how exactly to resist it.
“Why was he confused? Because he became obnoxious and rested on his laurels, because he decided that everything was guaranteed to him and that he was fed up with power. He was no longer ready to fight for power every day. Every day, otherwise it is impossible to live and work.
Lukashenko began to lose. Now he has come to his senses a little, gained a little more intelligibility, somehow mobilized his system, and it somehow moves. “This has all reached the stage of a protracted war,” Kurginyan added.
He emphasized that Moscow's tactical goal in this war is for Lukashenko to win through political means without direct Russian intervention.
“What should we use? The idiocy of the West. What did the Polish prime minister say: what are you doing, you are announcing sanctions, you are pushing Lukashenko towards Russia! We must say: well done, you are doing everything right.
But we, in turn, need to open our arms so brotherly, so widely, so, I emphasize, delicately - and not a fur coat from a master’s shoulder, so that in the end of this matter at the strategic stage we really get closer,” concluded Kurginyan.
