That looks serious!

Stay Strong Hong Kong!!!

complete media black out.

no brave man flagging down tanks.

nothing.

next day, no more protesters as if they never happened or existed.

rounded up, sent to the interior for reeducation.

never to be seen or heard from again.

from mainland prisons that Hong Kong requested.

This singular purpose by Xi and China's ability to pull out all the stops to get its way are exactly why one has to ask what sort of complete imbecile goes into a trade war with a dictator?

Who grew up with a father and a fleet of lawyers who were always there to get his feet out of the mud and doesn't understand consequences, that kind of imbecile.

The lack of understanding of consequences is by far his most dangerous character flaw, he has many, but in my opinion, that one is very dangerous. He has no idea that he would not be exempt of a nuclear explosion, about the number of people who would die from it, about the damage to the planet, and of course I can go on.

I knew when the British gave it up that Hong Kong would be subjugated by the Chinese soon. This may not seem like very soon to some people, but it was practically yesterday. Tyranny despises freedom. I hope Hong Kong puts up a brave fight. They have everything to lose if they don't. I'd rather sit on a pile of ashes than be part of China.
