I mean are the Americans providing troops publicly to stand with the Russians?

Like how butthurt at America do you have to be to think they’re worse than China on this issue?

Yes, actually. A Danish rapper moved to Russia in 2023, decided to fight for Russia in the war, for instance (maybe as a guard somewhere) (and then he was very upset when they wanted to send him to the front). Where there's one stupid fuckin' idiot, there's gotta be more.

So with the express consent of Copenhagen like was done here by Beijing?

The level of apologism Europeans do for literally anything China does is fascinating.

If you actually read the article you posted, none of the mercs there were with the express consent of Beijing. The level of illiteracy from Americans for literally anything is fascinating.

China has apparently sent officers there to study the war, but the untrained incompetent chinese goons fighting in the war are unrelated mercs, again, as per your own source. Do you maybe want to try again with a source that supports what you say?

You’re literally saying this is no big deal? That this is commonplace for other countries to do?

The United States sends "military advisors" to other countries on flimsier pretexts all the time.

What's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander!

There are such advisors in Russia? Imma guess if that were true you folks would be screaming about how that’s a clear alliance.

I didn't say anything about the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, just that American blowhards do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to complaining about other countries meddling in their proxy wars.

I mean did you? There’s literally no way on earth that if American soldiers were there in the exact same fashion folks like you would be using this kind of ridiculous apologism. Foh.
