Even setting aside how unbelievably ghoulish a betrayal it is for the administration to even be proposing it, it would be one of the worst and stupidest strategic and military moves imaginable. Historical era ending, empire ending.
Cold comfort. Trump team is obviously very serious about attacking our neighbor and killing untold numbers—forcing them to counterattack and kill ours.
Domino effect of alliances then forces us into war with Europe, and boom: we're out of Nato, allied with Putin and attacking Europe too. >
The most cynical appeal: any billionaires and megacorps with international markets worth preserving—this will destroy your money. Even if you think humanity is for sissies, your pocketbooks are at stake. Exert any influence you've got. Make it stop.
It's a dumb idea, and it's cover for other awful - but more realistic - ideas. Taking the Panama Canal, for example, has been one of those things administrations have spitballed for a while now.
