Imagine you're the commander-in-chief who has just ordered a military invasion of a sovereign nation. Then imagine all your soldiers turning around to look at you...
"China has too much influence over the Panama Canal," so Trump withdraws the US from global trade and so China can increase it's influence there instead 🤔🤔🤔
Oh yes, along with trans bathroom bans the most pressing issue of our era.
Thankfully we don’t have to worry about things like constitutional rights, due process, sharing war plans on insecure apps, rewriting history with Internet scrubbing, endangering lives with budget cuts, etc.
Oh go to bed Pete. America won’t be taking back anything. Trump has already moverd on and you are all feckless paper tigers anyway. China will eat you for breakfast.
Mind you, trump tries to control the South route ( Panama) as well as the northern ( greenland) from China to Europe. This is dangerous shit. China as well as Europe will have to be allies on this issue.
We made a deal with Panama.
Trump doesn't Make deals, Trumps breaks deals.
Contracts mean nothing, courts mean nothing, the Constitution means nothing.

yet more threats of War and Theft,
from this belligerent criminal terrorist state
by this deranged degenerate loser Hegseth, the Alcoholic axe thrower.
It’s funny how much they hate “Chinese influence” when MAGA influence is the same thing in a different font. The paranoia is unhinged. A bunch of little boys scared shitless to lose their grip on stolen power.
You betray trust - once gone it’s almost impossible to restore . Trust in the USA has been so badly damaged by recent activities of the person (s) in power and the world is responding.
So Hegseth, is the deal to supply El Salvador with unpaid slaves in exchange for them sending russian style sabatours to undermine Panama security and safety to create cause for U.S. intervention and take over?
I don't think panama is going to allow that.. And if they try, trust me, it won't be easy..
Imagine this a war over the panama canal, and somebody accidentally blows it up🤔😳
It's funny how they want to be the ones in charge this trade route after ruining the hope of future trade with anyone by issuing tariffs that make this canal far less valuable to them.
I could tell this would happen. Then: we start raising prices, particularly on things of vital importance, then, I'm guessing we petulantly shut it down and/or other countries blockade it. It's anybody's guess if we get a shooting war at that point, and our only trading partners will be goons.
Trump & every one of his bootlicking parrots are trying to start a war, threatening several different countries.Time to stop the threats & remove them before they destroy even more than they already have. These people work for Trump, not America. We all have seen that Trump only”works” for himself.
Thank you. This is exactly what I was saying. If you can’t get 1 man back how are you going to protect the canal? Who is protecting it from the very people who claim to be protecting it? Panamanians are known to stand up for the country but I’m afraid those who do will be treated criminally.
It bothers me because for the past 25 years Panama worked so hard to expand the canal with global support & have managed fine. The problems there need to be solved there. Don’t bring chaotic hands into it.
I think it’s worse than that. He LOVES this. He’s like a kid playing GTA running around blowing shit up, raping NPCs, and raising holy hell. Except this is real life with very real consequences.
He said 75% if ships are going to or from a port. What? Does that mean there are 25% of ships that just sail around and never go to port? He is so unqualified.
He is a walking liability. Him stuttering and gesticulating on TV like a nervous hack broadcasts that the US army is weak. He's inadvertantly inviting adversaries to try sthg.
Yeah shut the fuck up about Panama, Greenland, Canada... the one thing Trump tried to do (tariffs) he screwed up so badly he's had to basically cancel them all. If he can't even do tariffs, he's not going to stand a chance with actual land grabs.
Only so many times you can try these distractions.
Should a member of the United States Armed Forces follow an order to attack a foreign country such as Panama who offers no aggressive intent to the USA?
Frankly, Hegseth is insane...even among the Trump toads, he stands out as especially stupid, even delusional.
With the army barely able to meet its recruitment goals as it is, how is he going to staff his army without women, Hispanics and Black Americans....answer, he can't.
These people are morons, if the just said to Panama can we open a military base near the canal, maximum 1000 troops I’m sure they’d be fine with it, what are they going to do, maybe ask for a bit of cash? There’s no need to go to war over this!
Colombia, France, and later the United States controlled the territory surrounding the canal during construction. France began work on the canal in 1881, but stopped in 1889 because of a lack of investors' confidence due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate.
The US took over the project in 1904 and opened the canal in 1914.
The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for its handover to Panama in 1977.
He hasn't said anything about Madagascar yet.
But I advise them to build bunkers now, while there's time.
Before Hegseth finishes reading through the entire tariff list.
Ask the Penguins.
China is building a super railway in Nicaragua to cross goods from Pacific to Atlantic. The Panama Canal may well be rendered unuseable within a decade because the Chavez River which feeds the waterway is drying up.
Then proceeds to talk about two deals with the Panama Canal authority and the government that, if true, negate the need to “take it back”. Performative bullshit.
I'm never going to understand the Left
Israel wants to control the world's trade routes, and we're seizing control of them for Israel.
How do you people not see what we're doing. We're going after panama, suez, northern passage, straight of mallaca...
Teddy Roosevelt’s Big Stick effect led to US use of military force in Latin America over a dozen times. It was used as rationale for US involvement Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Haiti, & other Latin American countries, straining relations between Central America & US. We’re not good neighbors. 🤷🏻♀️
The U.S. cannot legally retake control of the Panama Canal under existing treaties and international law. While political rhetoric persists, legal, diplomatic, and practical realities make U.S. reacquisition of the canal unfeasible - and just plain idiotic.
'Pocket Flask Petey' has been saying or doing at least one easily preventable and incredibly stupid thing most every day since his confirmation.
His foolhardy behaviors and risky blather should lead Joe or Jane Voter to conclude Hegseth lacks the character, intellect, and maturity to do the job. 🤨
It's heartbreaking to see the empty food bowls and the hopeful eyes of the dogs at my shelter, knowing I can no longer provide for them. Every day, I'm forced to turn away, feeling like I'm failing the ones who depend on me. The shelter's future is uncertain, and it's devastating to think about💔😭😪

The Rubber Stamp Republicans confirmed these incompetent buffoons on a party line vote. Don't forget signalgate.
Elbows way the f up.

Really. Hegseth is going to take back the Panama Canal?
Such as, protecting National Parks, listening to all parties, and being interested in new science.
Though still vastly unequal, the world has been unequivocally safer the last 80 years without constant annexation and wars of conquest.
Good thing almost no one believes anything MAGA Messiah or his minions say anymore.

WTF are the other 25% doing ?
Wanker.
So obvious America is a just another Russian proxy now we need to start calling it out.
So, stationing troops there? And how many?
Is his mommy-wife by his side?
This is unlikely to happen, but i don't want my country turning into what it appears to be turning into.

Hint: set yourself up for massive terrorism on one of the most used and mechanical areas in the americas.
It will be bloodless if they let us just do it.
What a difference between two Republican administrations - T. Roosevelt and Donnie Trump.
One is a builder, a conservationist, a strategist…and one is a fat dummy who is a terrible golfer

I know it's happening but I still can't believe this is happening.
Big plans.
Lots of plans.
Yemen.
Gaza.
Iran.
Panama.
Greenland.
Canada.

Looks like the American military has found a level of adversary it's comfortable fighting
Bringing together idealists and opportunists to create a unique cocktail.
So.
The USA is reneging on yet another deal.
No one will ever trust us again.
Nor should they.
DO NOT DO IT.

This guy in particular sounds like he presumably feels—pretending to be Defense Secretary
Infrastructure located in a sovereign nation, we're absolutely going to take it.
But an innocent man we accidentally sent to a gulag in a sovereign nation, nothing we can do.
