Unwinnable.

This is coolbert:

“War is at best barbarism. . . . . Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.” - W. T. Sherman.

I highly recommend without reservation or qualification this You Tube video.  https://tinyurl.com/y82uzuc9

"A former PLA soldier hired by Russians gives a reality check on Russia-Ukraine war"

"Li Jianwei is a former PLA soldier and a Chinese mercenary hired by Russia. He talks about his experiences in the Russia-Ukraine war on Chinese social media. In this video, he described the high [casualty rate] of the Ukraine war and gave first-hand account of the Russian military operations and challenges.  He called Putin's war in Ukraine 'unwinnable' at the end."

Comments:

* Wearing a white arm band to distinguish between friend and foe bad from the Chinese cultural perspective. White associated with a funeral.

* Chinese soldier "fighting  spirit" # 2 among the various military forces of the world. At least based on the rating scheme of the famous/infamous Japanese Colonel Tsuji.

* That "soundless" mortar a Polish LMP-2017 spigot-type mortar. You do not hear until a round explodes near you.
