Don’t know if you saw that the PLA actually were deployed in Hong Kong streets yesterday, ostensibly for “cleanup”. So there are definitely some covert operations going on in order to undermine the protesters and manufacture an excuse for the CPC to send the PLA in for other purposes eventually.

Those protesters need to go home. The Chinese could empty the their prisons by executing all prisoners, dump the bodies in the channel, put flat panels of steel on top of them and roll in to Hong Kong. The Chinese ARE capable of doing such a thing. Go home.

The protesters also used bows and arrows and catapult launched gasoline bombs.
It just shows that if the guns are confiscated, then they will use arrows.

Young people in Hong Kong want freedom; young people in America want socialism.

The young people in America will eventually get their wish. Right after President Trump is gone. The young People in Hong Kong will not get their wish. Instead they will get bullets.

If they want Freedom they must fight to the death...or Freedom. Look what happened here in the 1700’s. Freedom isn’t free (although, many today here think it is).

“Those protesters need to go home.”

Your Tory ancestors probably made the same remark in Boston after the Tea Party.

See post #5. The PLA on Hong Kong’s streets is a step in the wrong direction.

The very last thing I sympathize with is the godless ideology that thinks banning religion, family, private property and national borders under a one-world dictatorship will bring Utopia.

Ask Sputnik how you set a tunnel under the ocean on fire.
