Calling them peaceful militaries obviously

Peaceful compared to what? mission-accomplished-1 mission-accomplished-2 mission-accomplished

OK I can see how you can twist reality to call China or the DPRK's militaries nonpeaceful even though you'd be wrong, but Cuba's? Really?

you'd be wrong

I bet. Especially if you don't count saber rattling, threats and border skirmishes. If you don't count those then I'm wrong and they're very peaceful.

Cuba's? Really?

Cuba got quite a reputation during the Cold War. It's pretty interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_interventions_by_Cuba

and border skirmishes.

find me three chinese border skirmishes where the most advanced weapon used wasn't a stick or a rock.

see, the last time i had a conversation like this somebody posted some "list of chinese border conflicts" without reading it and it was mostly diplomatic stuff, the time the PLA ate shit against vietnam decades ago, and some literal fistfights with nepal.

Saber rattling is one part of border conflicts. It's not just pew pew stuff. But it's not exactly peaceful either.

Compared to, say, the US military, which I assume the OP is talking about?
