Video of the Chinese and Indian Military Clash At Their Borders Looks Like A Scene From World War Z

When this shit happened, I saw some of the video clips but this one is absolutely crazy. When I first saw it this morning, I legit thought it was a scene from World War Z.

Giphy Images.

In May 2020, things got a little wild between China and India at Pangong Lake which is part of the disputed Ladakh region. It all started when both sides accused each other of crossing the Line of Actual Control (LAC), the de facto border between the two countries. Soldiers from both countries got into fights using sticks, rocks, fist-to-cuffs, and good old-fashioned spit. No guns were used, but the clashes were intense, leading to injuries on both sides including black eyes! Whoa. 

In my opinion, being in a battle like this is the height of old school war. No guns. No modern weapons. Just dudes on a border ready to give folks the business for trying to get their piece of land. Electric atmosphere. 

The situation escalated because both countries sent reinforcements to the area, setting up more camps and bringing in more troops. This buildup of forces created a tense standoff, with both sides mean mugging each other across the LAC. The crazy terrain and the lake's strategic importance made the situation even more volatile. Each side blamed the other for the confrontation, with neither willing to back down. And then the fist started flying. 

After the fights, both countries recognized the need to chill the situation to avoid further conflict. High-level leaders spoke including military commanders and diplomats from both sides and reached an agreement. They have their agreement but now we will all have these videos.
