we go all in helping to "free" some populations when the people don't rise up on their own to be rid of oppressive government. usually does not end well.

Here's a situation to support the people who are risking their lives. Not suggesting to send troops, but how about a few words (or tweets) of encouragement for the people who prefer freedom, especially after having tasted it?

If even a single Chinese National were to elude that tyranny -
That would be one very slippery slope indeed

Know your slurs dammit!
So frustrating...

(No offense intended. Deepest apologies to my Asian brothers and sisters, except for one Asian wannabe Latino)
