“Trump is the anti war president”

Americans are the dumbest motherfuckers around

But just imagine having that old decrepit warmonger Biden running things. Or even worse... shudder... a woman.

A non-white woman at that...

Panama attacked us! We better take them over in self defense! - Donny Dump

First Panama. Then Greenland. Then us.

We must speak up now before there is no one to speak for us.

Didn't France send a nuclear submarine to hang out with you guys?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately it was planned long before. They started their trip I. january. Also bringing the sub over for us to look at as we're possibly buying some. https://www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nova-scotia/article/french-nuclear-submarine-visiting-halifax/

You give him too much credit, it's all going to happen on the same day.

Panama should make sure that there are an ample amount of explosives placed throughout the canal, and convey in clear terms to Trump that these will be triggered if the U.S makes any move that threatens their sovereignty.

All they have to do is open all the lock doors at once.

It'll drain the reservoir in the middle and make the whole canal useless until it refills

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Drains the water from every lock and turns it into a river (temporarily at least).

Here's a 20 second video of how it works.

And block pass of all ships moving from and to the US.

This is dangerius rhetoric but I don’t believe the US military needs to be told to “plan” for an invasion of anywhere on the planet. The plan is already on a big shelf between “blow up the Vatican” and “mine the Marianas Trench”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

100% and even if they did it wouldn't be communicated through the press. This is the loud mouth in chief "negotiating" in public again.

Throughout the Trump rolling disaster, there has always been some adult in the room will tell him no. That was true during his first term. It’s no longer true.

There’s a belief that there’s an adult in the room in the US military that will say no if he orders something crazy. Not sure if that’s true at all this time around.

Didn’t the DUI hire purge all of them?

Driving under influence?

Would love to see no one, except maybe the navy, using the Panama canal because no insurance company is going to cover them while there.
