So watching the news (WION) on mute.

All I see is police and human conflict.

A over the world.

From what I know from the newspaper, internet generally, PDF and NDTV India I find conflict in West Asia, Venezuela, Libya, India ( anti-CAA ) and USA. Am I missing any other place ?

NDTV India's 9 PM program 'Prime Time with Ravish Kumar' has provided a nice glimpse of the USA riots. The program even went to a museum that has individual hanging artworks with details for each Black person who was lynched in the old days. When will India have such a museum ?

NDTV India broadcasts at 10 PM a program from BBC Hindi that summarizes events round the world. One gets a clue at least even if sometimes one has to take the news with a pinch of salt because it is BBC.

Nature reclaiming territory.

And leopards on the roads in the West.

Worst ever virus. Wearing mask everyday, then sanitizer , then washing hands for 20 seconds, then if again touching some product, then again using sanitizer, then again washing hands for 20 seconds. Life has become joke. Can't go in cinemas, parks due to risk as corona rate is jumping very high .

I like how the APC settles down at 0:41 mins and that Soviet-style flag-waving encouragement / direction-pointing at 1:22 mins.

Have you watched the film Enemy At The Gates ? In that a Soviet officer gets his men to charge like this Chinese soldier in your clip by waving. Watch this clip I found ( another film ). Watch the Soviet officer. He doesn't have a flag but it gives you the idea. I just thought the Chinese soldier was doing the same.

I cringe when I see these.

Very careful acclimatisation is needed for deployment to these places on the Tibetan Plateau. Please look up the height above sea-level of Hubei; the difference is considerable and the casualty rate among the poor PLA conscripts moved in such a rash manner must have been considerable, apart from their impaired efficiency.

These facts and factors will never get a viewing.

You will be shocked to know that the Chinese were barely equal to the Indian Army in numbers; according to some calculations, they may even have been fewer in number. They fought infiltration tactics, not human wave frontal assaults. They attacked trenches, where the Indian Army was entrenched, at one end, and rolled up the trench from end to end (visualise the situation; for people in trenches, facing an attack from within the trench from one end is extremely difficult to fight against. Only one or two persons can fire against the onrushing enemy, and the enemy has the advantage of surprise. When they faced an Indian Army position not entrenched, they 'infiltrated'; these tactics were used very effectively in the Burma campaign against Slim's 14th Army by the Japanese, and the Chinese, who also fought that campaign but in the northern sector, studied these tactics very carefully. Unfortunately, Slim was one of the greatest commanders that fought for the British in this war, and we had nobody equivalent, or even close to him, on our side. Slim fought off this tactic by forming 'boxes' and allowing the enemy to flow past, retaining supply communications by aerial supply. In contrast, in the Sino-Indian conflict, even the efforts of Indian commanders to form such boxes were frustrated by their own commanders. For instance, Brigadier Gurbux Singh, who was threatened with court-martial if he did not abandon Se La, by his division commander, Major General Pathania.

Other retreating Indian formations were ambushed by Chinese machine gun parties, who had blocked off the obvious routes of retreat by placing themselves in strategic locations under concealment and shot down our retreating soldiers.

Between these three tactics, the Chinese used their forces very effectively.
