Uh... is this confirmation that some Chinese are also fighting for Russia? Funny how Russia, who postures as a world-dominating force, can't even fight their own war against one small country.

Yeah, that's interesting. The "merc" bit implies it's a private citizen doing his own thing rather than an official gov't or military action, but even so..

Yeah I was thinking about that. I mean Ukraine is using mercs too, that's how soldiers from the US and Europe got involved, but it does imply a bit deeper connection.

Well, it was supposed to take 3 days! Whod've expected an opressed people to start resisting, of all things! The nerve!

As would have been obvious to anyone who had been following the war and the skills of the Ukraine military for the past couple of years. An inevitable outcome, really.
