I would instead compare nationalism to alcohol proof: 

It could be just beer or potent moonshine, wine, or vodka.

Also, it matters who drinks it - remember the “happy end”

of The Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 Munich?

There's a new word in the Russian language: могилизейшен. It's a combo of two words: могила (grave) and mobilisation; in English, it could sound like gravilization or mobilization into the grave.

It's a bitter and sarcastic nickname for Putin's mobilisation policy to call up 300,000 Russian men for a senseless, suicidal war in Ukraine. Those eligible to be mobilised have just two options: either become cannon fodder in Ukraine or run away to save their lives.

On the other hand, the Russian intelligentsia is leaving the country in mass. This new wave of Russian escapees we can compare to so-called "philosophical" emigration in 1920, just after the revolution, when thousands of Russian intellectuals - writers, philosophers, and scientists - were put on the ship and thrown away from USSR

…bridge between Russia and Ukraine is finality destroyed. No way back. Finita la Commedia.

On the other hand, a tiny path between Ukraine and the West is getting wider and stronger…

stronger - than  putin’s  bridge

Nobel Peace Prize to three human rights groups in Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia is a powerful sign of continuing global struggle between democracy and newly resurrected autocracy. Paradoxically, this Peace Prize is an act of ideological war by itself between two political systems, between East and West, between the past and future of humanity.… Unfortunately, a future could be cloudy and rainy, and history could be easily repackaged and romanticized for hungry and disoriented masses to digest.

…in future a conflict like current one won’t be possible: new breed of AI enhanced humans will be able to find a peaceful, rational solution that put a LIFE on the first place - not a politics
