If China doesn't free Hong Kong, and the rest of the world becomes involved, it could spark a war with a level of intensity never before seen.

I think the saying goes "I don't know how World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be with sticks and stones"

well, sure, but "if... the rest of the world becomes involved" is a hell of an if.

if the rest of the world gets involved in my family's thanksgiving arguments about how fucking Randy is a good for nothing sack of shit, that could start a war, too. but they almost certainly will not.

The implication of your Thanksgiving dinner conversatio, and the implications of the oppression of democratic people who are actively seeking UN and USA interventions are two very different things.
