China said the United States is the “biggest disruptor of regional peace and stability” in the world in a scathing response Wednesday to a Pentagon report on China’s growing military buildup.

The annual report that is required by Congress is one way the Pentagon measures the military capabilities of China, which the U.S. government sees as its key threat in the Asia-Pacific region and America’s primary long-term security challenge.

The statement China’s Ministry of Defense issued in response called the Pentagon report’s findings false and used it in turn to hit back at the U.S.’ recent actions in helping Israel and Ukraine, as well as its buildup of military installations worldwide.

    Yeah, I don’t get Cuba. That’s a WTF. To me, the best way not to put Cuba in collusion with your enemies is to give it all the concessions they need, and just drop all the sanctions. Maybe I’m wrong and they’re planning on being the ultimate backdoor rogue state, but it just doesn’t seem like it.
