When the British turned over Hong Kong to China, the people in Hong Kong had 50 years to leave or get ready to be governed by Communists. Nothing the US says will make a difference.

Absolutely, when Britain's Maggie Thatcher went to Beijing in 1982 to launch the "handover" negotiations, reminding China's Deng Xiaoping of the UK's successful intervention in the Falklands, Deng responded that an amphibious assault Hong Kong will lead to Gallipoli 2. He told her that China supplied about 90% of Hong Kong's food and water.

Is President Trump REALLY prepared to supply seven million civilians AND his own troops to fight a protracted peninsula campaign adjacent to the Red Chinese mainland?

It’s hard to believe there are people here who say things as stupid as you just did here.

How many people were in Berlin during the Berlin Airlift? Remember JFK and “Ich bin ein Berliner?” Actually “ein Berliner” is a popular Berlin pastry. Leave out the “ein” and it means what he wanted to say.
