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!
