By contrast, the generation that grew up in the USSR remembers what it’s like to have the “brotherhood of nations”,

Oh sure. The older generation in Ukraine knows all about the "brotherhood of nations", and how great things were in the Brezhnev era.

Way too many other hallucinations in your post for me to unpack. Simply put, the "proxy war" narrative is pure bunk. And you will not find any meaningful contingent in Chernivtsi, this place where you claim to have friends and personal connections, who subscribes to it.

Well, you know better. It’s all bunk. Very confident.

Also, Poland is getting nukes and soon we will be close to nuclear war — over something that could have been avoided 15 different ways. I guess I’ll just defer to your judgment in all things. What seems like double standards and insanity to me is actually the only correct and moral thing, and there’s nothing to worry about (or if humanity is destroyed it’s for a good cause — Ukraine will be free from the evil Russians).

Polands getting nukes because Belarus now has Russian nukes.

Belarus having Russian nukes is in direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum by the way, which Belarus has signed.

Poland having nukes has nothing to do with Ukraine and everything to do with Russia placing nukes in Belarus and also routinely threatening to nuke half the western world into oblivion.

Why does Poland getting nukes place us any closer to the world ending then there being nukes in Kaliningrad?, of which there have been for years at this point.
