Tell the media to get real. We're not going to get involved.

The media is nuts. Nice try...ahs

They have my sympathy. I’d be willing to fast track Hong Kongers for political asylum. As for getting involved directly either politically or militarily - sorry, no.

I have not been following this much, but I am strangely suspicious of all the American flag waving. It may actually be what it seems; a genuine appeal for support, but I just keep wondering if there isn’t more to this behind the curtains.

china is violating hong kong "turnover" contract with the uk that is (was) to remain in effect until 2047.

Does the uk expect the USA to enforce contract?

US should support a Singapore style outcome as the communists have breached the agreement.

Vehicle should be the UN. If the UN is good for anything it’s this. The treaty to “ return” Hong Kong is an international treaty recorded with the UN. Treaty has been breached.

UN Charter and position on colonial territories is that colonial holdings have the right of self determination, which Hong Kong was never given.

The solutions may not come from government but individuals doing what they can to help

Exactly

The Trump CIA is presently as involved in Hong Kong as it will ever be.

The camel’s back has been broken and as jobs dry up, the demonstrations will spread into adjacent Pearl River Delta streets

The U.S. cannot and will not “rescue” Hong Kong.

The ONLY thing it can do if it wants is to rescue citizens of Hong Kong, as political refugees.

I know that is not what the people or the protestors in Hong Kong want. They want to remain in Hong Kong. They just want the heavy hand of Beijing off of them.

No, do not expect Trump to add this to the negotiating table with China over trade and tariffs. China is NOT giving up its position that it is an internal matter for China, for any reason. Attempting that could scuttle many kinds of negotiations with China for some time, and even make things worse for Hong Kong, helping the regime in Beijing to portray the issues in Hong Kong as issues about foreign meddling.

Some believe the U.S. and the West should show a little more spine in the dispute between the Hong Kong government, China, and the protesters.

You can rest assured that this "some" have NEVER WORN ANY MILITARY UNIFORM INTO COMBAT.

I feel for the 7 million hong kongers, but they are not worth a single American Military person.

We can wag our finger at the real chinks, but no war over hong kong.

No nation building.

Hong Kongers should seek redress at UN regarding Britain - China handover agreement.

People around the world who have no freedom always turn to America for help. Too bad it must infuriate our own Democrats and their fascist supporters who hate America almost as much as they hate Trump.
