IMHO, former President Carter should have never turned it over to Panama. Secondly, Panama has not lived up to the agreement as it was specified. Therefore, I believe the USA is well within their right to once again seize control.

Even with Blackrock now owning ports, deal brokered by Trump, which POTUS said would be beneficial to the US?

So you think we would be better off with China controlling the canal. I don't think that's why Cater turned it over to Panama.

I am not saying that. I am asking. If Blackrock owns the ports which Trump said are vital, then why do we need to seize the canal by force?

Because Blackrock is a faceless multinational conglomerate with zero loyalties to the USA. Trump wants to ensure that the USA is the “land lord” and in the event Blackrock decides to get a little too friendly with our adversaries, he wants to retain the ability to fire them due to breach of contract and/or posing a threat to national security.

Although I do think Carter was an idiot. No one in their right mind would have sold the canal for a dollar. Unless they were forced to.

I never trusted CARTER and there is always a reason and a purpose for everything. I don't care if the purpose is for years or decades down the road. Democrats have anticipated every move since the 20's and 30's and wrote their playbook years ago. Theres only been a few hiccups in their path. Trump, JFK and a few other things but they have their reasons for everything. The Rockefellers and the Rothchilds run the world and have for decades on decades. And now we have Soros.

It's only half the story! The canal was expanded at a huge cost about 10 years ago. USA wan't involved. Japan and EIB gave the biggest loans 1.5 billion. Latin American countries also gave loans along with some others. So USA will steal this too? Well, perhaps it's a case of 'what's 10 billion compared to 300 billion' of Russian assets. Cleptomaniacs.

Most don't because most are way to young now to know anything from the past nor do they research. It has become ridiculous as they do not teach history much in school. We have so many people unaware and uneducated about the past. They are fighting and causing chaos due to lack of education. All those that are fighting for GAZA need to go visit and live there for a short period of time. We should call it a humanitarian tour of duty.

I'm a former Democrat but the Dems are so lost and corporate now. How much will seizing the Panama Canal cost... pushed off onto the taxpayers of course.

I hope this administration cuts spending and pays down the national debt without selling public lands. I think we need a Paul Volker solution with 10+ percent interest rates.

Yes there was a time the DEM was the better of the two, but that was decades ago, many. Bill was a piece of shit and his wife worse and if you read the books from the secret service men that were written about them it will make your skin crawl. People may not like Trump and I don't trust any of them, but between the two he is the best and if people don't see it they need to research. But guess what they won't and they will believe what ever the mainstream media tells them, just like they told the poeople who shot JFK. It doesn't take a genious to know where the bullets came from and what killed him, but people listen with their ears and not with their eyes. I am so sick of this mess. I have research since the 70's and I am 66 going on 67 and I have had all I want of this shitshow!

Should have never handed it over in the first place! Speaking of losing Americans, we lost thousands of soldiers, plus all the construction it took for our country to build that modern marvel.That was a treasonous stunt Carter pulled on the American public. I remember they were pushing petitions and I was one that signed those petitions to keep the Panama Canal. What a horrible sell out Carter was!

If it is OK for Trump to seize the Panama canal by force because the US paid for it, is it not also OK for France to seize the Suez canal?

Little Jimmy Carter gave the canal to Panama so that Panama would have a revenue stream to pay the banksters. Little Jimmy gave you the (fed) dept of education. This made it easier to poison the entire ed system thru a mechanism where the poison/insanity could be deposited in just one central location, and the gov would see that is was carried/infected everywhere.

Yes, the Panama Canal should be seized by whatever euphamism. Same with Greenland and Canada, perhaps Mexico, and make them territories and vassals. The people have no voice and haven't since Kennedy, if then. Why? The world is undergoing rolling bankruptcy. He who has guns and resources survives to thrive. Kill or be killed. The last regime was suiciding to external benefit.

Mr E's avatar

Except they have been subverted, occupied, and are now a threat, puppeted by external forces. Annexation would be, potentially, liberation. It would suck for Canadian independence - which they never had; They were always under the thumb of defacto enemies, the subverted and subverted British crown. Even so, such accesion or annexation is an imperial move and is an extreme move to blunt the effects of national bankruptcy. It does not bode well for independence anywhere.

Expand full comment
Investeer's avatar

Annexation by force (economic or military) is not a good idea. Remember, we are talking about Canada. Canada is not an enemy. But we are making sure with our hostile rhetoric that they should see us as one. That’s not the way. The plan of making Canada the cherished 51 state can only be accomplished if we win their hearts. Only then, such an endeavour will be successful. Also, don’t forget that Canada is the second largest country after Russia. Remember what happened to the Germans, the Frenchs while trying to invade a vast and cold territory. Anyway, just talking that way is preposterous and disgusting. We want Canada ? First we need to respect them, love them and care for them, and they will gladly join. They will commit to the idea if we do so correctly.

More likely the USA, Canada, Mexico join a currency union like the EU. They can have an illusion of independence but are functional vassals or territories. Mexico would be a buffer. Greenland a territory. It will look nice, shiny, and the AI bots will be everywhere to shape opinion. There will be a reality that all involved become secure financially and militarily. The other reality is the rulers of the USA are in charge. It will be an empire in all but name. These moves are not about the people. They are about resources to back a new.currency - and also military security from rivals, but mostly resource control for currency backing. Imo.
