U.S. officials familiar with the planning said options for "reclaiming" the vital waterway include close cooperation with Panama's military and, absent that, possible war.

More proof the "deep state" doesn't exist like it does in the imaginations of the unhinged right.

Oh another 3 day “special” operation.

If this happens the government MUST be overthrown. If your tax dollars are being used to fund the unjustifiable murder of innocent people, you're just as guilty as the ones doing the shooting. It would be better that we lose millions in a nuclear civil war than become the new Nazis.

Clipperton and St Pierre and Miquelon are just there, up for grabs.

And Clipperton off of Mexico

Panama Canal seize, Greenland, Canada as 51 state.... I guess the 750 US foreign military bases are not enough for them anymore. Viva Colonialism.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

In which case now is a pretty good time for all other nations to start shutting down their US bases and deporting all personnel back to America. We don't need a forward operating base in our country if there's the potential it could be used in such a manner.

He doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt on this and should not be allowed to say such stupid shit as if he’s just some guest on a right wing podcast. He actually controls the world’s most powerful military and can make an invasion happen tomorrow.

His threats against allies and sovereign nations should be grounds for impeachment and removal from office before he does more damage do world stability and the reputation of the US.

I don't think people on the global political scale should be given this kind of pass.

i think at this point we can say for sure that puerto rico is a joke for them

Just wait until ICE arrest and deport AOC

It's a matter of time before Trump gets us into a war on our own hemisphere, and when he does, he will impose a draft. I wish some "journalist" (there aren't really any left any more) would ask him about his opinions on forcing a draft.

I have a 25 year old son, and there is no way I'll allow him to be dragged off by the government to die in a Trump War whose main objective is to destroy America for Putin, so Trump, Musk and their friends can loot America. There is no way my son will be joining a Trump military for any reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A draft is political suicide, nothing would get him off the white house faster. There's a reason the wars against China and Russia have people from other countries slated to die.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Assuming there's an election

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Same, putting my kids on the first flight out of the country if I even catch a whiff of Mango Mussolini thinking about imposing a draft.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I have to ask. Isn’t this just leaving the hard part to the poor and unfortunate? Why not have them stay and help stop this thing instead? Would you rather they come back once the dirty part is over? I’m legitimately curious, I do not understand, thank you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait. What did I miss? Why mango? He's orange.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Mango Mussolini gives that beautiful alliteration

Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Threats to other countries isn't noise... It doesn't seem appropriate to hand wave away threats to other people.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah I’m getting really sick of that. Invading another country isn’t just “a distraction”

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Feels like they're trying to overwhelm us with a barrage of shit.

The Drake v Kendrick rap battle taught us that refuting your opponent point by point leads to failure. You need to hammer your opponent on his weakest point over and over.

If we focus our efforts on his collapsing of the economy, will we be able to force him to drop the dumb imperialism stuff and focus on defense? I don't know.
