An American gangster, Pete Hegseth, thinks that Asians are stupid and blatantly lied that China wanted to be a hegemonic power. The world's hegemon, the Evil American Empire, spreading lies that peaceful China wants to be like the evil American Empire. Where are the evidence? The American gangsters said so is the evidence?
Who is the real hegemon? Who started the Ukraine War to destroy Russia? Who started the trade and tariff war to bring down China? Who wants to take over Gaza, Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Panama etc etc? China or the evil American Empire?
Who is in Africa to want to bring down Traore, to assassinate this African nationalist leader? America or China? Who is protecting Traore and defending him against the evil American Empire?
Who is building up more military bases in the Philippines to prepare to attack China? Only the brain dead would not see the truth. Only the silly Asian and Asean countries would volunteer to want to be duped by the American terrorists, did not want to see who is starting all the wars in the world, to bring down China and Russia.
Who is committing genocide with the Israelis against the Palestinians? China or America? And gangster Hegseth is telling the Asian and Asean states to join the American terrorists to contain China, to buy more weapons to fight China, not to contain the American hegemon, not to fight the evil American Empire. Look, China is the hegemon, not me, not America! America is here just to rule over you.
How many silly Asian and Asean leaders would blindly listen to this gangster and want to fight China, want to join the American terrorists and be bullied by the American terrorists, be sanctioned, be tariffed, and be threatened by the American gangsters? Are the Asian and Asean leaders that stupid, did not know who is the hegemon, who is bullying them, coercing them and threatening them, and ruling over them?
The American gangsters simply erect a strawman as the enemy and thinking that Asians and Asean people are stupid and cannot see through their lies. Caveat, there are many Anglophiles in Asia and Asean that think the white men are gods and the white gods can tell lies, can bully, can kill, and will bow to the white gods, without questioning whether the white gods are really the white devils.
Latest, this gangster Hegseth just insulted Singaporeans by comparing Lee Kuan Yew with clown Trump.
