It hits me how many of the likely v young soldiers that Russia is sending to Ukraine have just…no memory of the Soviet Union or Ukraine being a part of territory that Moscow controls. A whole generation with no real attachment to the thing Putin is trying to restore. — PolitiTweet.org

Contrast that with the WWII-era narratives of Russian soldiers being sent to die by the thousands — but in defense of their homeland. Is today’s Russia willing to bear that kind of sacrifice in a war that lacks that kind of desperate resolve. — PolitiTweet.org
