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.

    In a way, they see borders as almost sacred.

    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.
