    I’m amused by the implication that Russians and Ukrainians have a strong, brotherly bond; but that Russians are perfectly fine with shooting their brothers, taking their brother’s land. Even the cheery Russian propaganda paints Russians as monsters.

      They are saying that they only destroy westernised deviations, liberating true pure Great Russia. Some Russians really believe that. Turns out this “deviation” is the entire Ukrainian nation, tens of millions of humans.

        Considering that the second story in the bible is about the first brother to ever exist being killed by the second one, maybe it is. /s

        It is just a very unequal brotherly relation. And big brother just cannot accept he is not welcome.
