Trump is 100 percent correct about China's control of the Panama Canal.

No one said that they were great humanitarians.



Good luck trying. This isn't 1940 anymore, or even 1990, when Bush overthrew Noriega to keep him quiet about the drug trade.

We try that shit, we are going to have a fight on our hands.





Again, study some history. There's a reason they call us "Gringos" and worse and really don't like us all that much.

So people are fleeing from Latin and South America TO Panama?

 

[Crepitus]

So they won’t mind when the USA removes them

"remove them" from what?

 

[Crepitus]

unny, whenever we point out facts about Ukraine/Russia, we get called “Russian Agents” or some lame bullshit.

That's becuase you aren't "pointing out facts", you're repeating Kremlin propaganda.

Ukraine is being invaded by a dictatorship.

China is making goods because AMERICAN companies don't want to hire Americans, and AMERICAN consumers don't want to pay higher prices.

The thing is, you guys scream about how China is this big threat, and really, you can't back it up with anything but your fears. China hasn't invaded another country since 1979.

Yes, Ukraine was taken over by a dictatorship in 2014

Guy, you don't have to convince me that you are retarded, you've already proven it.

It's not the ones fleeing here you have to worry about.

It's the vast majority who stay in their countries and decide they like China better.

Wow, hysterics much?

My wife and most of her friends and family are from China. I'm pretty sure none of them are spies.

While much of the Canal’s original legislation expired upon turnover of the Canal to Panama, one key treaty relevant to U.S. and Chinese influence in the Canal remains active with no expiration date. The Treaty Concerning the Permanent Neutrality and Operation of the Panama Canal, or the Neutrality Treaty, between Panama and the United States guarantees permanent neutrality of the Canal with fair access for all nations and nondiscriminatory tolls. Only Panama may operate the Canal or maintain military installations in Panamanian territory.

The United States, however, reserved the right to exert military force in defense of the Panama Canal against any threat to its neutrality. Any interpreted Chinese threat to the Canal’s neutrality could activate the U.S. forces through this treaty, meaning current and future Chinese interventions should be calculated with this potential response in mind.

Wishful thinking.

Here's the thing.

China is willing to invest in Panama.

the US isn't. We're too broke.
