God am I glad to be skeptical of claims of AES being relevant to China. It makes it so much easier to not fall for false-choices that ask us to make fools of ourselves critically supporting people who would butcher us all given a chance.
China, famously invading and butchering everybody
I was referring to Putin, obviously.
it doesn't sound like it tho
Context clues are a thing. The entire argument I was responding to was about critically supporting Russia because of China.
context doesn't override sheer explicit text though. IDRC if you have beef with China, I'm just saying that the sentence clearly implies that China is not AES (if that's your position then fine)
Oh, China isn't, but Russia is the state that would butcher us all given the chance.
