SG should side with USA better. When there's a war, China will not help SG but USA will.. The tiongs are not to be trusted! U can see what they are doing to HK now. SG too was bullied by China.
USA help SINKapore? US abandoned the Kurds, the people that helped the US fight ISIS. The Kurds did the heavy work and suffered lots of casualties. At the end, the US just ran away and gave the Turks the green light to attack the Kurds.
You expect US to rescue HK?
Hongkees live in a fantasy, thinking that they could freely do as it pleases while poking the eyes of the Chinese government. Well, the Chinese decided that was it. The Brits sold Hongkees a myth so that they can get out with no problem. One country two system does not mean that the HK system is a total democracy and the central government can be ignored.
Hongkees can decide to fight the central government and hope for UK and US to send troops to help. We all know that it is not going to happen.
