Here's a thought.  The US can stop patrolling international waters to protect the free flow of everybody's goods.  The cartels will take a few months to get ramped up and into the piracy business.  And when they do, good luck getting insurance, and even better luck getting from Port A to Port B.

 

We'll make an exception for American flagged vessels, and those hauling goods to and from American ports.  See how functional that canal is then.

 

Do you think Captain America is everywhere? No other nations contributes to Americans and American supplies safety.. Christ sake

The U.S. Navy plays a major role in patrolling international shipping lanes to ensure freedom of navigation, global trade security, and maritime stability.

 

This mission stems from the United States’ strategic interest.

Crappy because we were too nice. Although in a historical sense Vietnam was a victory. But you would have to have a secure foundation in History and Geopolitics to understand that.

You clearly do not have an understanding of the world at all. Follow the leader, leader, leader. Follow the leader.

Just when you think the whole business couldn't get any more bizarre your geriatric successful and wealthy businessman puts podgy finger to phone keyboard at 3 am and delights the rest of the world by releasing another brainfart blast of nonsense!

 

I don't know about making America great again, it seems to have turned itself into a laughing stock!

Not to us, and we are the only one who counts.

I've been doing some .308 target practicing in case you Yanks want to give it a try. Last time you invaded us your White House got burned down real good. One thing I learned while living in Pattaya was at the start of any trouble in a bar the Yanks were under the table or out the door. Recently a gang of gypsies were pushing around the managers of a crowded bar\restaurant in Arizona. One guy in the whole place stood up to them. A Canadian who took on all 9  while the couple hundred Yanks hide behind their women folk and kids. Bunch of pussies. We are having a good laugh up here in the Great White North at the nonsense coming from Private Bone Spurs. 

 

There are more of us, and your government took your guns away.

I expect that the impeachment process will start next midterms once the Democrats win back control of House and Senate.

he U.S. took over the project in 1904 under President Theodore Roosevelt, and completed construction in 1914. The U.S. paid around $375 million for the canal, which included $10 million paid to Panama and $40 million paid to the French company. At the time, it was the most expensive construction project in U.S. history. 

 

Why should we continue to pay exorbitant fees to use something we paid for and built? Giving them control over it should not have meant losing ownership of it. 

The U.S. had control for 86 years. Panama was given control in 1999.  You cannot seriously think that after 25 years the U.S. should seize control.  If you believe this, the the UK should seize control of the 13 colonies and Mexico should seize control of the Southwest U.S. Russia should seize Alaska and the French reclaim Louisiana.

 

President Musk surely does not allow this

Panama Canal Tolls:

 

Uniform Toll Structure: The Panama Canal Authority (ACP) implements a standardised toll system based on vessel size, type, and cargo, applying these rates uniformly to all nations. This approach ensures equitable treatment for all users.

Well considering I've been referring to your cohort as a yapping little puppy, I guess that the imitation here is this sincerest form of flattery

A little late for that.

Not I. I expect him to put America first and last and devil take the rest.

If it results in America no longer trying to rule the world, some of us will be happy about that.
