The inevitability of U.S. aggression doesn’t justify China mimicking its imperial playbook. You’re dressing up escalation as “defense” and calling it a day. If this is the best justification you’ve got, it’s no wonder the conversation keeps circling back to the same tired excuses.

Belt and Road isn’t “international cooperation”—it’s debt diplomacy with a PR team. BRICS isn’t some utopian alternative; it’s just another bloc vying for leverage in a fractured world order. Labeling these moves as “peaceful development” doesn’t make them any less self-serving.

You’re out here trying to paint empire-building as resistance, but all I see is someone too deep in their own narrative to recognize the hypocrisy. You’re out of your league, kid—call the grown-ups.
