Remain Calm. All is Well

I'm not even sure how to respond to an idiotic assertion like this:

Recently China issued its latest defense budget numbers revealing a 12.2% increase in funding for that nation’s armed forces. While many pundits quickly took to the pages of various blogs and op-ed pages—some of which offered some finely balanced and tight analysis—I had a different take: Who cares?

Who care? I suggest the author check with the embassies of every country whose name contains an "A".

And then ask the Philippines, too.

I've heard of putting your head in the sand to ignore unpleasant realities. But that author dove in so deep to denial that he just has the heels of his shoes visible.
