No, that's not what putting words in somebody's mouth means, but of course it's too much to expect you to understand the terms you throw around. Also, thank you for your psychoanalysis, that's about the level or rationality I've come to expect from you.

Nobody is putting words in your mouth. I'm just unpacking the implications of your statement. The facts are that you keep making content free comments that don't contribute anything to the discussion.

This alternate reality you inhabit sounds very interesting. Last I checked, Milley now refers to Russia as a great power.

Chief among those challenges, Milley said, will be the change from a "unipolar moment" in which the U.S. stood as "the most powerful nation on earth."

"Now, it is increasingly clear that we are really in a multipolar international environment with at least three great powers: the United States, China and Russia," he said. "And three is much more complicated than two and certainly much more complicated than one."

Of course, Mark Milley is just United States Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I'm sure you know far better than he does. 😂

No, I wasn't using it, I was pointing out that the person moaning about authoritarianism in China has far worse things happening in their own country.

That's a nonsensical statement. Every source has biased, so what you're really saying is that you discard any information that doesn't come from your own bubble. Pretty funny how you talk about wasting time, yet you took the time to write these content free comments here.

Imagine living in a bubble where the support for the war isn't waning.

feel free to actually address what the article is saying

I think it's the last bit about the fact that all this money is coming out of people's pockets that made them mad. We're not supposed to talk about the cost the average person pays for maintaining the empire.

Once again, whataboutism is not a sound argument. It's a logical fallacy and using it discredits any argument you might've had.

It takes people a while to become deprogrammed.

Screeching whataboutism is a logical fallacy used to justify having double standards for yourself and your adversaries. If the things you claim to happen in China are actually happening in your own country then that's what you should be focused on. Meanwhile, it's not just USA that's at fault in the west. Every western country commits horrific atrocities. For example, France is doing brutal crackdowns on protesters with militarized as we speak.

Maybe if westerners focused on fixing up their own shithole countries instead of yapping about China all the time, the west wouldn't be where it is today.
