Trump Orders Military to Plan Operation for Retaking Panama Canal

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

There is no crisis, other than the one Trump madeupto entertain his cult.

Outside of that, the whole thing is ridiculous.}
 
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.








It's called: MAKE THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE GREAT AGAIN!
It's an even better plan when you let yer enemy know what you are planning.

China's going after the Chinese billionaire that sold the two ports to Black Rock.... They are trying to stop the sale so this shit is going to get serious quick. Trump is spot on he's not being compulsive or jumping the gun this is exactly where the issue is right now. There's nothing friendly or casual about it whatsoever.

Wow, talk about government waste...
 
Hilarious

We believe the 2020 election was won by Biden.

Now you.

You saw the fantastic deal Hegseth just made with Panama, right?

And how many facets it has that benefit the US and cut off China, right?

Of course you have, because you're an erudite and sophisticated consumer of an informative and balanced news diet.

Better to wait till congress decides to nullify the Neutrality Treaty they approved.

The U.S. gave up control of the Panama Canal to address three major security threats in Latin America, a strategy that proved effective. First, anti-imperialist sentiment was rising due to the U.S.'s colonial-style control over the Canal Zone, sparking protests and violence. Second, leftist guerrilla movements, inspired by the Cuban Revolution, framed their struggles as resistance to U.S. domination, gaining Soviet support. Third, Panama’s nationalist military regime, led by General Torrijos, posed a direct threat to the canal’s security and was willing to use force to reclaim it. These concerns led to negotiations that culminated in the 1977 Torrijos-Carter Treaties, transferring control to Panama.

If the U.S. were to seize the Panama Canal by force, it would risk losing one of its strongest allies and would once again face attacks from terrorist groups targeting the canal.

Trump's lies and exaggeration are no reason to take military action that would not be n our best interest.
 
Like what?
If the U.S. were to take back the Panama Canal by force, the ramifications would be serious and far-reaching—both immediately and in the long term. Here’s a breakdown of the potential consequences:

1. Diplomatic Fallout

  • Loss of Trust: It would severely damage U.S. credibility, especially in Latin America, where historical resentment over U.S. interventionism remains strong.
  • Strained Alliances: Panama, a close ally, would likely cut ties, and other regional allies might follow suit or reduce cooperation.
  • Global Condemnation: The international community—including U.S. allies in Europe and Asia—would likely denounce the action as a violation of international law.

2. Regional Instability

  • Increased Anti-American Sentiment: It would likely trigger protests, uprisings, or radicalization in Latin America, especially in countries with existing tensions.
  • Destabilization of Panama: A military conflict could destabilize Panama’s economy and government, possibly leading to civil unrest or the rise of hostile factions.

3. Rise in Terrorism and Resistance

  • Insurgent Attacks: Just like during past conflicts, militant or nationalist groups could form to target U.S. forces or canal infrastructure.
  • International Terrorism: The canal could become a symbolic target for anti-U.S. terrorist groups globally.

4. Strategic and Economic Costs

  • Military Commitment: Maintaining control would require a large and sustained U.S. military presence, diverting resources from other priorities.
  • Economic Disruption: The canal is a vital artery of global trade. Conflict could disrupt shipping routes, raise global shipping costs, and hurt the U.S. economy.
  • Impact on China Relations: China has major economic interests in the canal. U.S. aggression could escalate tensions or even lead to retaliatory measures.

5. Violation of International Norms

  • Breach of Treaties: The U.S. voluntarily transferred control under international treaties. Breaking them would set a precedent undermining U.S. respect for international law.
  • UN and OAS Backlash: The U.S. would likely face condemnation or sanctions from international organizations like the United Nations or the Organization of American States.
