[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious, because Fox News somehow isn’t running this story. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-says-he-might-demand-panama-hand-over-canal-2024-12-22/

Can another huge Trump supporter just like me share how happy they are at this incredible statesmanship? It’s like he was anointed by God to be president.[/quote]

I hope this is satire....I can't tell anymore. If it's not you people are true idiots.[/quote]

It's not satire.  We didn't pay for the panama canal and give it to Panama out of the kindness of our hearts.  They agreed to provisions that they aren't enforcing, to the benefit of China and the detriment of the US.

This issues goes to the heart of the divide between the left and the right.  The left dislikes the US, hates our flag, despises patriotism, and wants to see us suffer on the world stage. The right embraces our role as superpower and wants the government to assert American interests where appropriate. And this is absolutely an appropriate venue. [/quote]
The right flees from the US acting as a superpower.  You are isolationist and refuse to acknowledge alliances that are in the US interest. Tearing up a treaty to extort money from a developing economy is not diplomacy.[/quote]
