    Which of course means war if we do, just as if we roll tanks into Hong Kong.

    Why do you think China has been building artificial island air/naval bases?

    Right. Every economic system other than capitalism is based on theft because no other economic system understands how wealth is created. Every other economic system presumes to determine how wealth should be distributed without even considering whether those who own the wealth now are entitled to keep it.

    Yes. It is extremely cheap for them to do so.

    I think not. China doesn't want war with us any more than we want war with China. It's called sabre rattling for a reason. It means you show you're ready for war without actually drawing your weapon. Rolling tanks into Hong Kong would definitely be considered an invasion of Chinese territory and would bring on war. Sailing the 7th Fleet up the Taiwan Strait is something we've done countless times before.

    Not if we get in the middle of them actively invading Taiwan.

    They are buddies, no two ways about it. You don't like? Tell Trump to stop.

    I get a kick on the John Birch Society telling us about Marxism, when its members don't even grasp the Constitution.

    Chinese troops move in on Hong Kong after continuous protests


    After continuous protests in Hong Kong, the Chinese government has deployed troops to Hong Kong. Following the bloody Hong Kong International Airport protests, civil unrest continues.

    Hidden identity? Law enforcement snipers should be turned loose to shoot him dead on the spot.

    Oh yeah, Joe Biden is a racist. Even a significant number of Democrats are racist. It's just that more Republicans are. Answer my question: Do you really believe that if we studied the political leanings of KKK members, you'd find them to be predominately Democrat?

    Citizens of Hong Kong want Democracy. Something our country has always stood for. Every single President in history would have expressed their total and absolute support for their cause. They sing our national anthem, because they know this.

    Trump weights his own and his family's personal and financial interests.... and gives them the cold shoulder.

    What a disgrace!

    Sure. The KKK supports many democrats, and is very antisemetic.

    Okay, so your belief is that if you took a poll of KKK members you'd find that they are predominately Democrats?

    I don't know, they are a marginalized group with no influence.

    Who would even waste the money to poll them?

    I seem to recall the corrupt Obama administration giving protestors in Iran quite the cold shoulder during the Green Revolution in 2009:

    https://www.newsweek.com/obama-aban...-fought-freedom-trump-must-not-do-same-985899

    Yet those of you with TDS seem to ignore how Obama turned his back on the Iranian people who were striving for liberty and freedom:

    "Behind the scenes, Obama overruled advisers who wanted to do what America had done at similar transitions from dictatorship to democracy, and signal America’s support. He ordered the CIA to sever contacts it had with the green movement’s supporters — this according to a new book, The Iran Wars, by the Wall Street Journal’s Jay Solomon, which Lake discusses."

    https://www.powerlineblog.com/archi...-his-back-on-the-green-revolution-in-iran.php

    What a disgrace. Right?

    So, once again, were you being disingenuous by ignoring Obama's actions while criticizing Trump, or were you simply ignorant and not aware of what the corrupt Obama failed to do because of your refusal to look outside your echo chamber?

    And you didn't address the main point in my OP, that leftists who have encouraged the hate-America movement look at patriotic citizens as nothing more than racist white nationalists...

    How about offering immediate American citizenship to every Hong Kong citizen? We would get a shot in the arm of courageous freedom-loving hardworking entrepeneural citizens, and China would lose them.

    No, you know. We all do.

    The fact that you can't answer honestly is sad.

    Sorry I didn't major in KKK.

    I don't even know what rank a "grand dragon" is.

    My point here is that the right is incredibly cowardly on this matter.

    When I leaned Republican I was never afraid to admit that KKK members were significantly more in favor of my chosen party.

    Why do you feel the need to deny this obvious fact?

    I suggested later in this thread using that as a threat to make the Chinese back off. (Not citizenship but refugee status, anyway.)
