Except these aren't warriors at all.... and don't you dare give me that "some are born great" quote from Shakespeare!

I don't think so. Are they going to operate from Poland?. It's not realistic. I think it is propaganda for the average Joe.
"China an ally in WWII, albeit one that didn't have the resources to fight outside its country."
In fact, Chinese forces had a significant role fighting the Japanese in Burma.
Field Marshal Slim wrote that, despite the incompetence or corruption of some Chinese officers,
the ordinary Chinese soldier was remarkably brave and capable of withstanding hardship.
Given adequate support, the Chinese soldier could be as good as any.
One wonders how the Chinese felt about helping to return Burma as a colony to the British, given that,
after the war, the British hoped to detach Tibet from China and make it into a British protectorate.
Chiang Kai-shek had hoped to restore Hong Kong to China's sovereignty in 1945, not 1997.
Holding the balance of power, the USA decided that British should have Hong Kong but not Tibet.
Two US Presidents have falsely declared that American soldiers never have directly fought Soviet soldiers.
Apart from ignoring the fighting between American and Soviet airmen in the Korean War, that ignores
the USA's military intervention (1918-19) in Siberia in the Russian Civil War.
"...a contingent of about 5,000 troops that landed in , as part of the
. It fought the in the surrounding region during the period of September 1918 through to July 1919."
Many Russians have not forgotten what Americans don't remember.
Let’s stay on topic y’all.
Many folks, here, are of the opinion that Russia isn’t utilizing the full-extent of their EW capabilities. Who knows...
If they’ve resolutely accepted death, they are; that’s all that matters! “Flowery embellishments of the way” are neither necessary nor relevant.
I don’t quote Shakespeare (I had to read your post to know the spelling of his name) neither his works nor his words are relevant to my experience!

They're desperate enough to release Venezuelan oil from sanctions to make up for cutting Russian energy exports. This is the next step of US-EU sanctions.
Meanwhile, India and China will start getting access to cheap, below market price Russian oil once the initial disruption gets sorted out.
Russia could remain in pariah state status for decades, so that's decades of 'free market' subsidies to both economies.
I believe some questionable commentary on Twitter says the Siberia/China gas pipeline is unprofitable for Russia but with the collapse of the ruble, that's definitely not true anymore.
