Lol, wtaf was this piece? He literally listed every single hysterical propaganda myth about the satanic omnicidal seeseepee then ended every sentence with "but actually they're not so bad". MIC media "dissenting opinion" moment.
They could also be a little more subtle trying to move all non-war options out of the Overton window. "How to avoid war", lists every option (many coincidentally also involving lots of defence spending) except not initiating the fucking war lol. Apparently amerimutt drones are so braindead if you simply avoid mentioning that choice none of them can think of it on their own.
China could be as bad as they think and worse and they won’t do a thing because good and evil don’t really matter that much, power does.
