"...keep in mind that the bloodshed that is occurring in Ukraine in this present time is not between enemies, but brothers that are forced by their own countries to kill each other."

So very true. It is not unusual, however. The same can be said of Israelis and Palestinians, who share more DNA between them than any other ethnic group. But they are programmed, mostly by religion in this case, to hate each other. Human tribalism and the desire of one group to dominate another is at the heart of most of human dysfunction.
