The rioters in Hong Kong are already at the frontline. They may not realize it, in their naà ¯vete' or their foolishness, but they are.
Whatever they do, is being monitored, recorded and eventually used against their country.
They are engaged in a battle, now. And they are fighting on the side of the foreign powers which want to fully control the world.
Are the rioters committing treason? Some clearly are. But I also want to believe that most of them don't. Not yet. I want to give them the benefit of doubt. Most of them are young, confused and even lost.
However, this benefit of doubt should have clear boundaries.
Paradoxically, if the United States decides to push China into a confrontation, the situation in Hong Kong will be one of the justifications given by Washington. At that very moment, the naà ¯ve and badly informed kids would be converted, by circumstance, into de facto combatants, fighting against their motherland. With all the due consequences.
Let's do everything we can, that such a dire situation is avoided!
The rioters should be told: "There is still time. Sit down and talk, negotiate. Do not fight against your country as mercenaries. These are terribly dangerous times, and forgive me for saying it so frankly: I have been observing you for quite some time. You don't really know what you are doing!"
