In the interests of national security we should always have a plan to seize the Panama Canal because of its strategic importance during a war. It would be irresponsible to not have such a plan.
But this is irresponsible on a completely different level. This is “let’s invade Iraq” level stupidity. Trump ran on not having started any wars in his prior term. He ran on ending existing wars. Now that he is in he has talked about starting wars with all our neighbors and other allies. He doesn’t call them wars but that’s what they would be.
Here is a map of each place he has threatened. Instead of protecting our national security he is a threat to it. The president is a threat to national security. We got here because the cult of personality was determined to defeat the opposition even if they destroyed themselves in the process. They have fucked us all to own the libs. Even if Trump left office today it would take us decades to recover from the damage he has done to us.
“Panama should abandon its accommodating policy towards the U.S., which can only lead to escalating demands”
Why do countries have to figure this out so slowly
Watch for any movement / build up of troops. He could still be bluffing here, but this is more than what he’s done for other places as far as I’m aware. His actions and orders from here out will be much more telling than any of his words will be
The US is threatening to invade a democratic nation and nobody seems to care. Where are all the freedom loving dudebros on this? Subjugating free countries is okay now? This is so exhausting
Unless someone is in the military and has access to the things, there is fuck all we as citizens can do.
Checks instance name
Best we can hope for is Trump getting too distracted playing Minecraft to pay any attention to Panama.
The US is threatening to invade a democratic nation and nobody seems to care.
I mean, we’re here discussing why it’s wrong.
First time?
They’ve been subjugating the Middle East to their bullshit for half a century, it’s a normal day at this point
And Africa, Central and South America, Asia and basically everywhere.
