USA's Ukraine protest overthrow attempt 2.0 fails in Hong Kong, dramatically speeds up Hong Kong's inevitable hand-over to the Chinese, and then the USA (painted into a corner again) washes their hands of it and feeds it to the dogs.

Wonderful foreign policy USA!

By contrast, you'd do what?

Threaten Beijing with military action if they didn't stop hassling Hong Kongers? Or, even better, not just keep the current special status of Hong Kong, but make them Honorary Member and Most Hollowed Member of Special Status?

No quite the opposite. The USA would be slaughtered in any sort of Asian aggression. Particularly if they were foolish enough to pull some naval stunt against China.

But what I would have never have done was pour gasoline on the fire in Hong Kong in the first place by trying a tired old color revolution plot aimed at China. Trump let someone talk him into that and it made it far worse - to the point where now the USA has to curl up into the fetal position and accept it.

It reminds me of when Russia was forced to seize the Crimean Peninsula due to the USA's lame overthrow and destabilization attempt over there. If gave them a very reasonable excuse to act.

Or when the USA and NATO gave Georgia a green light to attack S. Ossetia and Russia stomped their guts out and the USA welshed on their assurance of defense.

Or when the USA tried to send a bunch of head-choppers to Syria to overthrow Assad and failed miserably thereby ultimately strengthening Russia and Iran.

Seeing a pattern?
