Not cool. 40+ are part of the new Silk Road.

 

[Shifty_McGee]

That's pretty fucked up.

What good is communism if you can't exploit the working masses?

just goes to show how much financial sway the Chinese have now. It' all due to China investing in those countries in some way.

I support we mind our own business.

The interesting thing about it is - other countries and leaders have been dragged into International courts for much less.

Yet America was allowed to get away with Enola Gay,
now China- despite inflicting the biggest genocide since the American one.

You're comparing an attempt to end World War II to China's Criminality?

Joe Biden is on board, too.

Communist China bought Creepy Joe years ago.

Again, cite. I think you're lying about Joe Biden supporting China's erasing of the special Hong Kong status and the crackdown. Show your source for this.

But you're not going to answer, are you? You Trumpettes lie and then ignore any challenges to your lies.

China's doing everything Trump wishes that he could do.

totally different.

Engola Gay was used as the Japanese REFUSED to surrender even though they were defeated on the battlefield, but they would not stop fighting and continued to fight to the death.

Engola Gay was used to get them to surrender so that MORE people would not die in the invasion of Japan. The Japanese government was directing every single citizen to fight in the streets and since the Japanese were already known for suicide squads, there would be millions of needless deaths.

Go learn some WWII history for fuck's sake.

Japan was going to surrender. The US knew it but they wanted to test their new bomb on a city.

More this than the other, unfortunately.

But the point that this has nothing to do with what China is doing in Hong Kong stands.

Coulda woulda shoulda........they should have hurried the fuck up.

You do realize that the purpose of war is to destroy your opponent's ability and will to fight, right?
We made sure that "they" did not get away with the numerous atrocities
committed in the name of the Emperor all over the Pacific Rim.

Why is it you only focus on the calmative event
upon those who were far worse guilty
of spreading human misery?

Have they transgressed since?
Have we employed 'the bomb' since?
Is the world not just a little better off for having done so?

China is guilty of genocide, but we are guilty only of preventing further genocide...

 

[SpeareChucker]

That's utter bullshit.
They were preparing to inflict one million casualties;
to die as a people and a nation rather than to face such humiliation.

You seem to ignore who was in charge and the nature of the culture that motivated them.

 

[Biggs_Darklighter]

Really sounds like a China problem to me. Same with Taiwan. Not our circus, not our monkeys.

 

[SpeareChucker]

If it were only those two, but it has ripples from India to Japan...

I'm in two minds about it.

On one hand we'all root for Hong Kong, and don't want to see CCP extend itself.
And at first glance, the pro-Hong Kong crowd seems to be made of functioning democracies, the pro-China one - of totalitarian countries.

But is that what's motivating the pro-China crowd?
Aren't they worried about setting the precedent for a chop-and change and reconfiguring countries, according to the interests of CIA and super-powers?
