U.S. Watches As Pro-Democracy Protests Hit Hong Kong And Russia | MTP Daily | MSNBC
And yet Antifa are Communists in our own country .
Yes useful idiots I believe is the old Russian term.
Wars are fine until the ‘elites’ are inconvenienced.
Dawn Gubb : Communist China has more $ millionaires than any country on Earth. Hypocrisy is policy, there. Trump won’t upset ANY Dictatorship, because that’s the future he’s planning for America. Those images of HongKong, will be the same in Washington . . . Soon . . .
@Ash Roskell Typical. If Trump did step up for full support of those of Hong Kong and those in Russia, you would state that he is war mongering, and he should mind his, and our own business.
SO TRUE!!
His money is in Hong Kong and Russia.. of course he wont say anything. to make it difficult for himself!
Meanwhile Barrack Obama sits in DC making money for doing much of nothing….having great oratory skills whoop dee doo….and forcing legislation down a large percentage of citizens who opposed its throats….in essence saying hey i know better than you fair citizens …..take your medicine constituency i know best…..I AM KING!
Of course they need to drag Trump into it in any way possible with their junior high school level rhetoric.
@Jonathan Taylor :Trump brings all of it on himself.
@Mastodon1976 Nope. You are given a narrative that no matter what he does, it’s wrong. If he found the cure for cancer, and publicly posted it, your side would be upset at how many doctors would go out of business for no longer having to treat cancer.
@Mastodon1976 ok so you want war with one of the biggest and most threatening countries in the world? Your the real evil one here buddy
@shain edge :Trump cultists are sheep.
The US watches as Trump tries to take credit for it.
For what? Theyre upset on here that Trump didn’t take a bigger stance with the Hong Kong protesters? Did you even watch the video?
If we had a real president and if the UK had a real prime minister, they should both be speaking out about China’s infringement of its agreement concerning Hong Kong’s autonomy. Xi Jinping and Carrie Lam should both be at the negotiating table to end this crisis peacefully. But China has a very poor history of good-faith negotiations.
Whatever thing happens becomes in a good opportunity to blame Trump.
China better watch out, trump won’t be in control forever
Something happens on the other side of the world, so let’s talk about how it’s Trump’s fault. #fakenews
brandiago : What are you SO afraid of, son? You LIVE on this channel 😁
America meddles all over the world.
Arcana Imperii : Used to. Now they’re more meddled with, than meddling.
@Ash Roskell don’t believe the deep state narrative. America is the #1 meddler and war starter in the world.
United we stand. Divided we are conquered. Think about that.
I find this news funny. MSNBC is a joke. That’s why the ratings are garbage. Blah = no ratings. Good luck. Morons will cry again in 2020.
This is what a real protest looks like. Not like here in the US, where narcissists are just looking to grab some selfies to post on Facebook for their 15 mins of fame. These people are actually fighting to preserve their freedom, and waving the American flag as a symbol of what freedom really is.
We sit here and have weeks of discussion on what’s happening across the world, but yet we can’t even talk about our homeless issues. It’s time to allow other nations to stand up and fight for their own freedoms.
Am I the only one who thinks home boy is saying “frankly” too much?
This journalist is so dumb , should china , and russia also get involve with the black struggle in america?
Hong Kong protesters – the world supports you, but please don’t become violent. Exercise peaceful non-cooperation. Block streets, block highways, sit down and refuse to move, block government buildings, but please don’t become violent you will lose the support of the world and you will justify China to bring in a heavy hand and crush the demonstrations.
Trump says less but does more behind the scenes. O. talked but didn’t believe his own words and backed nothing valuable.
I SO WANT TO BLOW THE …. BEIJIONG AND SHANGHAI
The riots must stop, it serve no purpose, will not achieve anything. Don’t give them the opportunity to take Taiwan too
The US Army M320 Grenade Launcher is in the protesters’ hand. There is no denying that the US is the black hand behind HK’s chaos.
