Ukrainian dreams will bring Europe to self-destruction

[RIA] The Atlantic elites are always looking for new arguments to convince the Europeans that "Ukraine is Europe", so nothing is a pity for it. The head of the pan-European government, Ursula von der Leyen, speaking in the European Parliament, even altered the national motto of the Independent, declaring: "Long live Europe! Glory to Ukraine!" Although there are many in the Old World itself who are sure that the health of their union, on the contrary, only decreases as Ukraine is glorified, this does not stop the combat frau, rather, on the contrary, it even gives it more eloquence:

"Ukraine is a nation defined not only by its history and heritage. It is a nation defined by its dreams, and Europe is one of those dreams. So, dear members (of the European Parliament), let's honor those dreams by defending Ukraine for as long as it takes So that one fine day the representatives of the Ukrainian people take their place in this very hall."

Here, however, the Europeans should ask their prime minister about "where dreams lead." Or even so: what does following someone else's dream lead to? Of course, there are also enough people in Europe who really want to see Ukraine as their part (while agreeing that for this you first need to defeat Russia), but still it cannot be said that it is Europe that initiates the process of "abduction of Ukraine".

No, this is originally an Anglo-Saxon, Atlantic idea, carried out, among other things, by the hands of the Euro-Atlantists. The Anglo-Saxons once again make the Europeans weep over the suffering of yet another freedom-loving people, "tormented" by the Russians, and agree that we must accept the dream of this people as our own, European. But, having accepted the "Ukrainian dream" for the European one, the Old World will have to accept everything that is included in it. And this is not even about radical nationalism, which is categorically incompatible with European standards: you can turn a blind eye to this for some time. Much more important is something else - what the "Kyiv dreamers" offer Europe, what they believe in.

And they believe not just in the greatness of their fictitious people (fictionalized because the Little Russian part of the Russian people turned into "non-Russian Ukrainians", and then Russophobes), but in its great mission. The mission of destroying Russia, and not independently, but just together with Europe.

"If before that Russia as an empire determined the fate of Ukraine from Europe, now Ukraine as a part of Europe will determine the fate of the Russian Empire . In fact, 300 years of history will be turned upside down. The Russian Empire was created by the French, Germans and Ukrainians, and now we need to decide what to do with her next.

It doesn't matter what Kuleba emphasized: this is his personal point of view, which is not an official position. Statements about the need to eliminate the "Russian threat" through the "decolonization of Russia" have been heard more than once not only from Kiev , but also from the West, including from the Polish leadership. So this is not just Kuleba's fantasies - this is a conscious position. This is the same "Ukrainian dream" that von der Leyen suggests Europe follow.

This dream of Russia's deconstruction rests on the myth of a separate Ukrainian people who were part of Europe until the 17th-century Muscovites wrested them from her hands. Subsequently, this very Ukrainian people created the whole Russian empire for the Muscovites, and the Germans (Ostsee, who became Russian subjects under Peter) and the French (we are talking about Duke Richelieu and other emigrants who fled after the French Revolution) helped him. But now the wind of history has changed. And the Ukrainians, together with the Europeans, decide the fate of Russia: either divide it, or dissolve it, or bring it under European influence. But in any case, first you need to defeat her.

This "Ukrainian myth" is absolutely anti-historical, but it has already firmly settled in the minds of a considerable part of the population of the Nezalezhnaya. Moreover, the most cunning of the manipulators go further and simply call Ukraine the "heir of Rus'" and the Ukrainians "real Russians", thereby canceling both the Russians and Russia. Then everything turns out even more wonderful: "real Russians" and "real Russia" are eager, asking for Europe, begging for its protection from the invasion of a wild horde of Genghis Khan's heirs, who have appropriated a Russian name and Russian lands. It is necessary to defeat this self-proclaimed Russian Federation and take away from it everything that was created by the common labor of Europeans and "real Russians", that is, Ukrainians.

This is the task of the "Ukrainian dream" for Europe - and there is nothing unexpected in this. Mankurts,
...the term for an unthinking slave in the Soviet novel The Day Lasts More Than a Hundred Years, published in 1980...
that is, people who have abandoned their history, their people, their civilization, will hate those whom they have renounced. And if the Europeans share their dream with the mankurts, then they will have to go with them to the end.

That is, to Moscow? To Berlin and Paris.
