My question is, How can Poland be so forgiving (...)
If I was a Pole living in Poland I would tell Ukraine to get fvcked.

1. Poland had similar "policy" towards Germans with regard to politic of reapproachment which was lead by Polish clergy during PRL era (to the dismay of Polish people in general but, also the communists in power) it was a very Christian thing to do, and as we can see. The approach of peace, talk and forgiveness has brought very good fruits in general I must say towards relations with Germany. In which Germans noticed too is a good foreign policy, which they also have used basically as a default policy towards everyone so to speak. Naturally it has been tried towards Ukraine and Russia too, regarding Russia it has been mixed results due to their paranoia and skewed worldview and priorities. (Compared to Germany, China, Japan, India etc)
2. You are an American I presume and within your judicial system it's a lot based on shoot first, ask questions later and revenge/tit for tat is perfectly normal and legal. In Europe such approach is looked down upon in general, there is a lot greater expectation to be benevolent as humans make mistakes and hope for governmental powers are to be benevelont and not petty or vengeful. (Which is a stark contrast with PiS and Putinists, if anything that have this very much in common)
3. It makes No sense to "not" bury the hatchet and focus on Ukraine's and Poland's biggest danger which was Russia pre 2014. Every military plan in Poland and Ukraine should had foreseen and make preperations for such an eventuality, problem is that there were very large and strong forces hampering such plans due to point 1. With wish for diplomacy, trade and forgiveness to be the path forward. Their arguments were obliterated when Russian troops tried to enter Kiev, cause No sane leader in this world of chess is interested in their king piece to be knocked out immediately. It would create a dangerous and unwanted precedance (which Iraq is a very good example of). Problem is with Russian leadership wanting to push for this U.S.A mistake and precedance cause of their petiness -.-
