China said the United States is the “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in the world in a scathing response Wednesday to a Pentagon report on China’s growing military buildup.
The annual report that is required by Congress is one way the Pentagon measures the military capabilities of China, which the U.S. government sees as its key threat in the Asia-Pacific region and America’s primary long-term security challenge.
The statement China’s Ministry of Defense issued in response called the Pentagon report’s findings false and used it in turn to hit back at the U.S.’ recent actions in helping Israel and Ukraine, as well as its buildup of military installations worldwide.
I meant what I said. Not entered into, not participated in, perpetrated. Korea, Indonesia, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Mainland China, Cambodia, Phillipines, and that’s just off the top of my head.
Vietnam was an invasion perpetrated on the basis of a lie, and it didn’t make Vietnam’s struggle against France and China any easier to also have the US invading.
You don’t want to defend the US? DON’T. It forces you to lie and be an asshole, and it’s not worth it.
No nation state gives a shit about sovereignty. They understand violence and little else. It’s just the US has been in a position of global power since WWII left them with all the benefits of war profiteering and almost none of the direct cost of war at home.
No, I think you’re wrong. A lot of countries try to make a big deal of sovereignty as a recommendation for peace. The US buys into that logic. It’s been proven repeatedly. In a way, they see borders as almost sacred.
It’s the same as they’ve proven not to want to use nuclear weapons. Despite the empire based logic leaking into some factors of US activities they still avoid WMDs and keep stepping back from the brink.
You can’t seriously think the other countries being mentioned are pushing any such agenda. Most mentioned are disrespecting the sovereignty of their neighbours and building up on international activity to harm efforts for international peace.
The US even tried everything to embrace China and Russia before this last decade of absolute bullshit from those countries.
The US’s biggest problem is actually getting involved because of previous promises. They made no promises in Myanmar, and look how that shitshow went down with China as an ally.
I can’t buy this China is an alternative military superpower idea. They never prove to do anything other than end up in a lifelong dispute with every other nation that gets in their way. Look at how Hong Kong panned out. That was disrespectful as hell! I know who the assholes are.

Edit: if you’re upset that I didn’t take their comment seriously, they didn’t either. They’re just saying shit. “They see borders as almost sacred” What? How? Why? What? More importantly, fuck you? This is such complete unadulterated bullshit that I don’t even know where to start. That sentence is such a spit in the face that I refuse to dignify it with a real response.
Read a GODDAMNED BOOK.
Edit 2: don’t read a book, that’s too advanced. Start with a pamphlet: https://archive.org/details/war-is-a-racket-smedley
Edit 3: I will be thinking about this comment for a long time. What the fuck? What? WHAT? This comment gives me existential dread. How did this happen? I think I need to reexamine my concept of knowledge. This isn’t just ignorance, it’s not a level of ignorance like a baby has. This ignorance has to be learned. Like I know misinformation and propaganda do that to people, but this forced me to gain a new perspective on that particular abyss.
They said they DIDN’T WANT TO DEFEND THE US. How do you get from that position to saying what’s in this comment? I will lose sleep over this.
