Morning politics people! Backstory: Hong Kongers are staging a rebellion against their facist/totalitarian Chinese masters. Should America intervene and annex HK as one of our territories? Pros: Shallow similarities in skin color and culture aside, HKies have more in common with Americans than the Chinese. They fight for the same freedoms we do. If we seize HK, we get to seize one of the richest cities in Asia and it serves as a platform for us to contain the rise of China. HKies in return get to live and work in the USA. Actually I'm not sure about this, do we give them all green cards or citizenship if they are a territory/protectorate? Either way it's win-win for both of us. Cons: Starts WW3. But then again maybe with mad dog Trump as president the Chinese won't dare wage war... Because you know the president is nuts.
Is this John Bolton? đ
Sounds youâre crazier than Trump. Only Indians fantasies war with China for years.
which mental hospital did you escape from? I need to contact them to get you back.
China wont even let us get close to NK, what in gods bloody name makes you think theyll not act the second they sense movement near Hk? Itâs all about geography mate. Having a US ally that close to the mainland is a big no no and a threat to them. Its why they will never let Taiwan go. They know if they do, the US will set up military bases the second they do.
Only if China implodes USSR style would the US intervene directly, and it wouldnât be directly annexing HK. Would start heavy humanitarian support, keep sea commerce lanes open (we already do this) and funding a democratic local governance. Locals are pretty good administrators- they donât need us Americans. Plus Trump base doesnât give two squats about Hong Kong.
The UK abandoned HK because of economical reasons. They had the option to keep it but they didn't.
Sounds like the weak UK dare to defend China military?
Lmao are you dumb. China will nuke every last inch of the US and there will be nothing left. That would be the invitation for all out war. Your dumb ass would be razed as well
Worked out well for the Philippines Cuba and Puerto Rico đ
This is the dumbest question that anyone had ever asked on blind. What kind of idiots think that US can, has the right to, or even want to, annex HK
Must have triggered the mainland Chinese.
Actually I'm not from China, because Hong Kong is not communist China.
US couldnât annex it even if they wanted to, youâre talking about China not Iraq for fucks sake.
âWhere there is a will .. â đ
Why not? Finally we pick on somebody our own size lol....
