This would absolutely risk an actual shooting war, so no it is not a "smart approach". I get it that people are mad that democracy is under attack in Hong Kong

I get it that people are mad that democracy is under attack in Hong Kong, but this drift into considering extreme reactions is getting ridiculous.
- barry-cotter 7y agoHong Kong is not now and has never been a democracy. The PRC government informer the British they’d invade if they instituted democracy and they haven’t gotten any friendlier to the idea since.
- remarkEon 7y agoI'm aware. I said that somewhat tongue-in-cheek, because "defending democracy" is a favorite method of building up a case for military intervention.
