There are millions of people in HK that will suffer because of what's going on there right now. Their freedoms and their wealth are about to get taken away from them.
Allowing a repressive regime that disappears people regularly for simply disagreeing with their policies to continue forward unchecked is far more dangerous and devastating to millions upon millions of people today and in future generations than it would be to stand up to them now and put an end to this insanity.
In fact now is an opportune time for Taiwan independence declaration.

And this is why the Second Amendment is so important here in the United States of America. And also why some members of our elected officials want to take it away from us. a reply to: muzzleflash
Agree 100%!!
Thank God we have that Constitution - but it is under attack and we need to do everything we can to protect it and to push back against the tyrants who are continually trying to erode and destroy it.
We need to remove restrictions that were placed upon that 2nd Amendment, it's insane that people want more added. It's scary and sad to see people hating their Freedom so much.
Thank you for posting the plain Truth!
That doesn't even make sense.

A wise man once said never threaten a sleeping dragon because once you upset things will be bad. I just hope some in Western Countries realize this.
HK is one place where America and Western countries pretty much cant do anything about expect insults and threats. Look at Canada. Canada was playing it safe because they know if they start threating China could hurt Canada's economy.

Those protestors think they would be free under British/American rule again yet without realizing they would be back under the same control when the British were an empire.
And that was just over a few little tariff taxes.
We have the upper hand still.
The whole world would be screwed if China had the power.
Look at how China acts towards it's own people.

Freedom? Freedom is an illusion. You really think you are free, or ever have been free? Seriously?

Its not a fairy tale war monger. Its a talking point expression.
The protestors don't want to be "Ruled" by UK or USA.
What kind of crazy propaganda are they feeding people over there omg this is nuts.

China is the blueprint for the NWO globalist dictatorship disguised as universal freedom. The Chinese government does not tolerate dissension and demands total loyalty - even by virtue of engaging Google to ensure that loyalty.
What we are witnessing is a total propaganda blackout coupled with a NWO drill for future uprisings that may occur globally by the newly designated domestic terrorists.
Almost biblical in its accuracy.
So in order to seek "Peace", I should want China to kill innocent people who want their freedom?

I dunno what anyone thinks we're gonna realistically do. Hong Kong is part of China. To stop China from sending troops in, we would have to invade China. This is nothing like Crimea. That was part of Ukraine. Ukraine was begging the UN for help. The UN could've just stationed some troops there and Russia would have never invaded because it would start a major war. Same reason US can't do anything about Hong Kong, it would start a major war.
It's funny listening to all these people calling for sanctions, the same people that swear tariffs don't work against China.
ETA: Didn't the UK turn Hong Kong over to China? Instead of everyone whining that the US isn't doing enough, blame the Brits.

Tell you what I think might have an impact, letting it be known that anyone with a HK passport will get right to remain in the West if they ask for it.
No way China wants to lose all their best bankers over this.
Hong Kong isn't exactly part of China either,
