Oh wow great, fantastic, I get to go from my rat race software engineering job to getting drafted to fight in fucking Panama?
Swear to god I’m gonna see if I can request asylum overseas or some shit
0% chance this results in a draft.
Blow all the fucking locks and tell them: ‘fine, it’s yours’
Oh my fucking god. I just can’t any more.
Jeeeeeeezus fucking Christ
Donald “YOU’RE GAMBLING WITH WW3” Trump.
Noriega has really been asking for it. Is this surprising?
Is Common Dreams reliable? It sounds like something you’d name your high school blog. Any reporting if this elsewhere?
God. A return to the mean for US foreign policy. What will this be? The 10th US invasion of Panama?
I guess we better start taking the Greenland and Canada shit more seriously.
Not that I have any faith in the R congress to have a spine, but I’m not seeing how he even could do so if he wanted to without consent of Congress. Pretty well all the direct actions taken in the last couple decades come from the AUMF but that’s at least theoretically supposed to be linked to terrorist activities.

Apparently part of the treaty that returned the canal to Panama means that either Panama or the US can unilaterally ensure the canal’s neutrality if they feel it is threatened. So I’m sure they could make the argument that it falls under this. It would be bullshit, of course, but so are all of their other arguments.
Supposedly he’d have to have a reason, such as terrorism like you say, in order to pull a Bush Jr Invasion.
In todays wacked out evil af world… who knows. Im wondering why he’s just not using the CIA to “covertly” do this. But then again it could all be a bluff.
Because he doesn’t get public worship from black ops.
I hope that’s true
Can Trump just make Vance a temporary general or something and charge him with recruiting an army of MAGAsites to be his own personal division of Fluff Grinders to invade and subsequently be captured/imprisoned?

Ah, yes. Been a few days since the last ‘invasion threat’. Wonder when he will come back on this.
If I was younger, when the US starts a war in Greeland or Panamá, I would enroll to fight them. I’m sure the modern equivalent of international brigades will be created for exactly the same purpose they were created 89 years ago.
Ukraine did it. Vance’s cousin fights with them.
