Absolute bullshit.When you can tell me something I don't already know.......never mind.
I lived and worked in the CCP-PRC for ten years and I know a few things about the Chinese and about the world too.
I'm very familiar with the CCP and its grandiose designs over and across the globe. Indeed and over several thousands of years the Chinese are nothing if not grandiose. Yet all they have to show for it is where they are still. Japan and the Japanese are much more like us btw.
So your first task at this point is to find someone who knows less than you do. You'd find a lot of 'em in China I don't mind saying. Because all the Chinese know is the Party line. They just blurb the Party line at you and that's that -- there's no further argument or discussion as far as they are concerned. This is because the Chinese are not taught argument, dissent, critical thinking. So each time a Chinaman walked up to me to spout the Party line I gave a critical retort which left the Chinaman standing there mute. They just blink. Then they fade away each one of 'em because they don't have the slightest notion of an argument, a colloquy or discourse or discussion. Rinse and Repeat is what I did. It comes in handy here too sometimes.
Do you imagine, even for a moment, that if we wanted to move assets through the canal that we'd take no for an answer?
President James Polk would've been very worried about you had you lived on the East Coast in 1846 when Polk tried to provoke Mexico into a war with the U.S. YOu would probably protest against the Mexican War.
If there had been no war in 1847 or if the Mexicans had won that war, you would now be speaking Spanish and ruled by the Mexican government. That war was one of the greatest land grabs in the history of warfare. Aren't you ashamed you live on conquered land?
Absolute bullshit.
Japanese people are nothing like us.
You know nothing about them.
President Musk will talk to him later about that.Someone needs to put a muzzle on Trump!
The story doesn’t say what set him off, maybe they are eating house pets too?
I was unaware that you are incapable of reading and comprehending English.View attachment 67548089
Thank you for your opinion.
But I survived anyway.
Happy Holidayze !
It's speculated the new pro American President of Panama (the former tailor) Raul Whatshisname might return the canal to the USA. And pay us a buck to take it. That's so Trump can toss the buck into his slush fund.
I think Trump may know something you didn't know when he started blustering about "demanding" the canal back. I think it might be a way for Trump and the Panama Pres. Jose Raul Mulino to say Merry Christmas to America.
Right after the holidayze I'll start planning an "It's Our Canal Again!" party. Not just anyone will be invited of course.
The President Musk and Mr Trump thing is absolutely hilarious.President Musk will talk to him later about that.
I learned a long time ago about the illogical nature of a negative attitude. Being sad and depressed, only hurts yourself. If you view life as a half joke, you will find great wonders in your existence.The President Musk and Mr Trump thing is absolutely hilarious.
It’s these things that will help us to find humor in the next 4 years.
Trumps blatant stupidity will be the driving factor.
You're fine where you are living on conquered land. I do too.If I lived at the time but holding to the same principles that guide me now? Yes, I would have. That and Abolitionism, certainly.
No, because I took no part in it. I also do not think that children who were born of rape should be ashamed of how they came to be conceived and feel guilty of their continuing existence. That does not mean I think rape should be decriminalized.
But what is the guiding principle you are trying to illustrate with this line of questioning, jaypatriot? That we did naked imperialistic land grabs and engaged in bloody militaristic colonial ventures in the past, so any we do in the future are acceptable? Please tell me, because I do not want to be accused of deliberately misinterpreting you.
You're fine where you are living on conquered land. I do too.
And we'll keep giving casino licenses to Indian tribes in order to make us feel better about appropriating Indian lands all over the continent.
So if we do take back Panama for national security reasons then you should be OK with that.
Because bad past acts justify new bad acts?You're fine where you are living on conquered land. I do too.

Your backup lights work better than your headlights I'm afraid.
Elon Musk is literally the Andrew Carnegie of our time.
That would be a difficult thing to do not knowing what you know or don't know.When you can tell me something I don't already know.......never mind.

If your take away is I'm pro or against China, then you might know less than you claim to.The USD accounts for the predominant currency of nations' forex reserves and remains decidedly dominant as the currency of trade. US T-bills dominate the global bond markets.
Banks in the USA dominate global finance. US economic and financial sanctions are what causes investors to flee the targeted governments.
In China the NBA is more popular than dumplings and it's bigger than Confucius and Sun Tzu combined -- and then some. China is a threat to the Panama Canal which directly affects the US, the hemisphere, the West and the global economy, international trade and finance; it affects war and peace.
So and as I said, get back to me when you can tell me something I don't know already because I've already figured out your grandiose posts. Indeed, after my 10 years in China I know the smell of a CCP from a mile away.
National security my ass.You're fine where you are living on conquered land. I do too.
And we'll keep giving casino licenses to Indian tribes in order to make us feel better about appropriating Indian lands all over the continent.

National security could ultimately save your ass.National security my ass.
Bullshit.National security could ultimately save your ass.
