If I were Panama, I’d be setting charges to collapse the canal at key points requiring years and billions to repair should such an invasion occur, no different than Taiwan and their semiconductor infrastructure killswitch that would royally fuck over the world should China try to take Taiwan by force, making it China’s fault.

Fuck em, and by em I mean us because we’re the baddies. If the people that live, work, and die down there aren’t the beneficiaries of the revenue of the canal they operate, no one trying to steal it certainly should.

Live cooperatively or let the wannabe dictators of the world conquer a heap of ashes. Ill bet the global capitalist leech markets would be mourning the loss of such an efficient trade route.

Here are your options:

Leave it alone.

Or go around.

Option 1: Leave it the fuck alone

25th Amendment.

U.S. Southern Command is developing potential plans that vary from partnering more closely with the Panamanian military to the less likely option of U.S. troops seizing the Panama Canal by force, the officials said. Whether military force is used, the officials added, depends on how much the Panamanian military agrees to partner with the U.S.

So either you give it to us or we kill you and take it. The American way.

It’s good to know military seizure of the Panama Canal is unlikely. Wish Trump would shut his trap.
