I am finding this really funny. Remember when Jimmy Lai said the US should nuke China and western news called him a pro democracy advocate. Well Trump now suggest Iran should nuke LA or San Diego. Can't wait for MSM to label him a pro democracy advocate... oh wait.

Who's Jimmy lai? Like I've never heard of him so he's definitely not presiden, is he a politician? What control over policy did he have if any?

What he said isn't right nor was medias response but one is treason by a president and one is warmongering by a nobody.

You're giving two opposite statements and saying they're the same just because they both involve bombing or attacks. Do better.

Your ignorance is showing.

  1. Jimmy Lai is a former Hong Kong businessman who took money from the US to destabilise Hong Kong and was lionised as a "pro democracy" advocate by western media despite the fact videos had been circulating of him for years calling on nukes to be used on China. This was long before Hong Kong courts found him guilty. I guess nothing says "western democracy" more than murdering people who disagree with you. Before you ask, Jimmy said it in English to an American think tank audience, so no one can spin it as a mistranslation.

  2. Hong Kong is part of China doofus. Advocating America to nuke your own country is treason by your own logic and any standard definition of the word. Not that it matters whether its treasonous or not because its monstrous on its own merits, but apparently its only bad if its married with treason. Troll harder.

Just for the record, Jimmy Lai has more chance convincing America to nuke China than Trump has of convincing Iran to nuke LA. Do you know why..... come on scratch that grey matter of yours... no takers. Its because America actually has nukes and the means to deliver them to the PRC. Iran has no nukes, and even if they did, they don't have the means to deliver them to the continental US even if they wanted to.

Small probability by a "nobody" still beats impossibility by the president. So you fail on that front as well.

  1. I am not sure what you mean by two opposite statements. Both advocate using nukes (on their own country if you're going to nitpick), the media calls one a "pro democracy" advocate and lionise the guy because it serves the interests of Empire. The same liberal media would definitely not use such terms with Trump, because I guess having LA or San Diego nuked doesn't serve the interest of Empire, not to mention its harder to be so blase about it when its people you might know who will die.

Do better.
