Trump Orders Military to Plan Operation for Retaking Panama Canal

Relax, Leftoids.

It is being drawn up as a contingency option.

And why the hell not?

It's in our own sphere of influence, it would be easy, and it maintains a massively strategic/economic asset outside of China's menacing orbit.

President Donald Trump has directed the military to devise options for expanding U.S. troop presence in Panama to achieve his goal of “reclaiming” the Panama Canal.

Potential plans range from “partnering more closely with Panamanian security forces to a less likely option of U.S. troops’ seizing the canal by force,” two U.S. officials told NBC News on Thursday.

Sources said while military coercion is highly unlikely, it could become an option if Panama doesn’t cooperate with the United States.

Scott Jennings explained it pretty well on CNN (of all places):

Your national security involves the Panama Canal, Greenland and Chinese actions along with BRIC.

Focus on what is critical and allies can get on board or not.

The US has the military power to take it by force.
Doesn’t mean we should.


There would be global repercussions

If they violate the terms of the insanely advantageous terms of controlling the Canal, then the U.S is legally forced to act.

See this is why you don't vote for stupid democrats like Carter and Biden or Obama... Carter created the dept. of education a total waste of money and it has failed our students and placed us near the bottom of testing....
Then Carter gives away the Canal and the Panamanian Government turns it over to China... Obama establishes a government student loan program and as a result no one can afford higher education today... and then he takes over our healthcare system and no one can get good coverage...
Learn from the mistakes that have been made....

There is no war. Panama doesn't even have an army.

Why do you think having a plan to go to war with (x) means you intend to go to war with (x)?

The plans for war with the Uk are written on a Krispy Kreme bag.
