Western Civilization exploited Slavic Civilization’s wayward Ukrainian component upon its post-Soviet independence as a sovereign state via the cultivation of extreme nationalism in order to divide-and-rule its Russian-centric Slavic opponent. By launching its special operation, Russia wasn’t engaging in an “imperial war of conquest”, but attempting to avert the West’s own such imperial war by neutralizing Ukraine’s “Trojan Horse” status to that end.
"...an intra-civilizational conflict among fellow Slavs, albeit one provoked and perpetuated by Western Civilization."
Bingo!
"...Western Civilization exploited Slavic Civilization’s wayward Ukrainian component upon its post-Soviet independence as a sovereign state via the cultivation of extreme nationalism in order to divide-and-rule its Russian-centric Slavic opponent."
What's another word for 'Bingo!'?
"...a novel way of interpreting everything. "
No, there's nothing new or novel about this.
I'm afraid both Solzhenitsyn and Dugin would talk themselves blue in the face to demonstrate how fallacious the simplicity of my next, this, statement is: 'That's what they've been saying for years and decades, and I'm sure there was nothing new or novel about it when they 'discovered' it; that's the way it's been since time began, and many, many people before us (and them) have understood and tried to explain it.' If you think of it in terms of Stanley Kubrick's '2001', it's about when one primate realised it could get territory and associated wealth from another by using an old bone to 'convince' it.
But, yeah, I suppose the Slavonic Brotherhood thing makes it a bit more complicated than that.
In any case, I believe both you and Orban, and Solzhenitsyn and Dugin (as I understand them) are right.
Or it could be just another reason, or excuse, for Hungarians and other non-Slavic peoples--you know, NATO ethnicities like Germans, French, British, Italian, Danish, etc--to consider the Ukraine War as none of their business.
The logical corollary is that it is against their interests to be intervening in this conflict, while a ceasefire followed by a peace treaty serves those interests far better than continued war, the consequences of failed sanctions, and millions more refugees do.
What benefits American Big Oil, Wall Street, and the MIC does not benefit European countries. It's nice to see a few of their leaders start to figure that out, even if they use different rationales. The results of their dropping support for the war will be the same.
