WAR! What is it good for?

Zelenskyy has posted on Telegram, that Ukranian security forces have captured two Chinese soldiers or citizens. Apparently they have their documents on them as well. I think these two captured were from a group of six engaged in fighting in eastern Ukraine.

 

Lol. Donny will probs try and charge Ukraine 104% tariff on them for entering Europe

 

I'm a little suspicious they have suddenly caught two Chinese soldiers, knowing Trumps stance on China at the mo, but I'm guessing if they have documents on them, they can prove it.

 

Yeah it’s an odd one. I can understand Putin tapping up Kim Jong for soldiers, but although china and Russia are roughly aligned, I can’t see Bejing sending soldiers to fight for the Russian army.

My first thought ia that they might have been a group of renegades or mercenaries who’ve gone over their to fight, but I admit it’s baffling.

Zelenskyy is pretty adamant that they are Chinese as they had documents and ID on them

 

I'm thinking mercenaries, although can't understand their beef with Ukraine, maybe they just like fighting lol

 

Yeah I think that’s the motivation for mercenaries, the $$$

 

Surprised @Sucky hasn’t signed up as a mercenary for the Russian army tbh seeing as he hates Zelenskyy so much.

Could probs earn more than painting door handles I reckon

 

... more SCS than SAS

 

Mercenaries fight for money so, no beef required

 

What about rations?

 

Kung pao chicken

 

Some rabble of absolute nonces have submitted a legal application to have Hamas removed from the list of proscribed terror organisations. The absolute state of them.

 

it's their money to waste .

 

Tbf they've fallen way down the terror league since the IDF started dismembering babies and blowing up old grannies.

Hamas are probs only League 2 level terrorists these days.

 

I'm sure there is a plausible explanation...

I don't really get the title which is clearly click bait emphasis on 'more than a 100 shots' - I've never fought on the battlefield nor trained in the military but 100 shots aimed at 15 men regardless of whom they were does not sound excessive, especially if fired from automatic weapons.

I know nowt about automatic weapons but a quick google tells me they can fire from 400 to 1,500 rounds per minute. I believe the Tavor can fire 800 rounds a minute.

Also I've noticed there has been great focus on the wearing of high viz, but no focus on the ones that weren't, why is that and why were they not wearing them, especially knowing previous hits on emergency workers and the emphasis now on them being worn. Surely if the high viz is that important in defence it's even more important to be wearing it.

It's not a good look for the IDF, but not sure why the BBC are writing stories around it if they are not going to give all the facts.

Let's have all the facts and knowledge on automatic weapons, not just bollocks like this 'Our audio analysts could not comment on which weapons were being used but Mr Beck said there are "several bursts of fully automatic gunfire".

Surely if you know they are bursts of fully automatic gunfire, a 100 shots should not seem unusual at all.

 

I think the more pertinent point is why ANY shots were taken at a convoy of ambulances with flashing lights...

 

Absolutely fine to focus on attacking a convoy of ambulances, but not really sure why the BBC write a title that seemed to want to suggest the shooting was excessive, regardless of the situation it wasn't and then the 'verify' bit just to add emphasis, that actually verifies very little and can certainly be misleading, unless it says what you want to hear, which I expect is nearer the truth of the BBC in its so called unbias reporting. Even IF it turned out all 15 were medics, surely their lives are worth more than click bait to the BBC, clearly not.

 

China states that anyone fighting in Ukraine are doing it off their own back and the Chinese government explicitly warns against fighting in foreign wars.

Russia apparently offers cash to people to come n fight and China does have a billion people, 130+ signing up isn't insane.

 

Signing up to be shot at and bombed for money is pretty insane, mate
