It’s worth noting that in his later years after returning to Russia from exile, Solzhenitsyn was an open advocate of his vision for a restored “Greater Russia” that included both Belarus and Ukraine.
In independent Ukraine with its own agency was never in the cards. The country was always weak and divided, and neither side could simply “leave it alone.”
US “strategic planners” always saw a big prize in Ukraine, and in 2014, Russia and its corrupt political oligarchs were simply replaced with corrupt political oligarchs (and aggressively anti-Russian ones) beholden to the EU, NATO and the USA. Exhibit 1A is Hunter Biden.
And that’s a situation Russia would never let stand. US neocons of course knew that all along. They just arrogantly and stupid miscalculated that they could humiliate Russia and Putin while keeping control of Ukraine.
Which is understandable enough when one considers that Russia, Belarus and Ukraine are countries that ensued from the antecedent state of Kievian Rus.
I just burst out laughing when Putin was lecturing Tucker Carlson on Russian history as the historical illiteracy and historical ignorance of many, including political leadership of the West, are quite profound. And speaking of that abject stupidity, to the extent that Vladimir Putin is a nefarious villain, we are in deep shit, as Putin is apparently much smarter and has a more substantive thought process than most of the political leadership in the EU and US, the latter of whom are so abjectly stupid it is utterly surreal.

They’re close brothers after all. More alike than different.
