Maybe I'm misreading this. Tone and particularly sarcasm can be lost in text. But I think that comment you're responding to was making fun of the administration.
One thing this administration is not known for is taking accountability and admitting they made a massive error. No, it'll be someone else's fault so we'll move on to whoever the next bogeyman is. And it can't be China because the US just objectively lost a war with Iran. You think we're going to win a war with China? No. What we really need is a tune-up fight. A bit like how Reagan invaded Grenada two days after the Beiruit bombing that ultimately led to US withdrawal from Lebanon.
This was basically soothing our hurt feelings by using the US miltiary, the largest in the world, to invade a Sandals resort.
