Should the UK intervene in HK protest?

[vetran]

We really shouldn't interfere and in 50 years time the Hong Kong residents can blame the UK for all their ills, oh sorry that will happen either way.

We did promise to look after them so we should. That truly is the British way.

We should really consider military intervention only if ladymuck's hotel isn't up to the standards she expects

LM would not be happy at Buckingham Palace.

So war it is then....

China is, and always was the next global threat to world peace following in the steps of Nazi Germany.

We can thank the Clinton administration for inviting the vampire across the threshold.

"China is, and always was the next global threat to world peace following in the steps of Nazi Germany"

granted, not a Nazi, but Kaiser Bill was apparently very anti Chinese and Japanese.

There's also the popular myth that the Bible advises "beware the yellow peril".

We should invade Taiwan and then hand it over to China - just to show that we're a country willing to do business with our foreign overlords.

gosh, what would happen to Emgo then?

Going to HK next week. Turns out our hotel is about 15 mins away from the 'festivities'. Should be interesting!

Do you think we could manage to pull that off? Canvey Island is probably the limit of our current capabilities, and that's only if there isn't a stag party at the time...

That is interesting! Is there a public source for that?

It would make sense.....

It is indeed interesting.

report 3-days ago: Saudi Arabia’s Buying of U.S. Treasuries Is Soaring Under Trump


However the UK is leading the pack when it comes to buying up US debt in the past 12 months. Well dangerous. Why are the Tories doing this?

Some months ago I was wondering who was buying up all the US debt that China is selling. It turns out Saudi Arabia is buying up most of it.

That is interesting! Is there a public source for that?

It would make sense.....
