Chinese Troops Build Up on Hong Kong Border: White House
YouTube has once again instantly flagged one of our Hong Kong episodes. Again, this happened before it was made public, had a description or tags, or even a title. What is YouTube thinking?! Thank you again for your support. Because of my loyal 50-cent army, we can continue to run the show without fear of having to shutdown because of YouTube censorship.

Question. What is the latest you have heard regarding the rewriting of history books to bring the Cultural Revolution back in style? My wife is reading that it is all good now.
The world has always turned a blind eye away from the oppressed until it comes to their own country. Hitler was excused as he took over country after country. French have not ad the gumption to build up defense. The English were lucky that a channel happened to stand in Germany's way. Stalin and his bloc murdered and oppressed tens of millions and not one country would criticize them. Hell, they did and still blame America for the cold war and not playing nice. Communists have been allowed to do this for over a hundred years now. Dictators much further back. The US is not perfect but good Lord there must be some line where "sovereignty" of a nasty government should be trumped by human life. The CCP should not be above reproach just because they happened to be in charge. I am in charge of my household. It does not mean I have the right to beat my kids and dog.
China keeps trying to steal/grab or forcefully take anything they set there eyes on....just what do they expect to happen in the future aside from armed conflict? And most of all just how do they expect to survive when they turn the majority of the world into an enemy?
The sanctions did have an effect, the rouble devalued by 2, all Russians got poorer, some of the Russian elite couldn’t travel to western countries etc even though it didn’t have the desired effect to discourage them from keeping going in Ukraine, I’m sure it wasn’t the actual reason for the additional attacks. But nothing else than some discrete words here and there are all they’re doing about Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong etc I cant understand why much is being done when Russia’s the bad guy but by when it’s China
question: when russia attacked crimea and eastern ukraine, the whole world stood up against russia and set up tariffs etc against russia despite the potential economic losses. how is everyone ready to punish russia but lets china get through with anything?
World shrugged when Crimea was invaded, but predictably, it emboldened Putin to then attack and invade eastern Ukraine, and that's when the rest of the world said, "wait a minute" and dropped the sanctions hammer. Hope the lesson was learned before China tries the same thing (some say China told Putin to do this, to set a precedent it could itself follow a few years later, and why it has supported ending those sanctions ever since.. ). Chris, does this unfounded statement have any truth to it?
