We always mock the US Anal War Machine for referring to itself as “Defense.” Even the Jews have the nerve to use this word. That’s the “D” in “IDF.”

The “Department of Defense” used to be called “The Department of War.” In the late 1940s, they changed the name of a government department to a euphemism, which is something you really associate with communism.

Whether it’s a defensive war or not (none of them have been since the wars with the Indians), it’s still a war. The department exists for fighting wars.

However, the Chinese are so opposed to war, that I think it’s fair to call their military department “defense.”

Even if you want to be rude about it: the Chinese like making money and they view war as something that inhibits their ability to make money. They don’t like war. They simply recognize that they need a significant army, because the United States really, really likes war, and views starting wars with random countries based on stupid, childish lies as a moral imperative.

Today, we’re using CNN as a source for a story about China for some reason.

CNN:

China is hosting defense officials from across the world for its flagship military diplomacy conference this week – a key opportunity for Beijing to promote its alternative vision for global security that has also underscored its increasing alignment with Moscow against the United States.

More than 30 defense ministers and military chiefs, as well as lower-level representatives from dozens more countries and organizations, including the US, gathered for the three-day Xiangshan Forum in the Chinese capital.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was given prominent billing as the first visiting official to address the forum Monday, where he and China’s keynote speaker both took aim at what they see as a failed US-led security system.

Noticeably missing from the line-up was China’s own defense minister.

Bah.

Look at the language.

“Noticeably missing.”

How much does the bot who wrote this CNN article understand about Chinese internal affairs?

Ignorant people laugh at absence of China's defense minister at Xiangshan Forum. Defense Minister is not that important in China's system. Chairman Xi and Vice Chairman Zhang Youxia of the Central Military Commission, China's highest national defense organization, are important. https://t.co/v97Mc1Q6qJ pic.twitter.com/OJmPJB9G4U
