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.

Panama Canal seize, Greenland, Canada as 51 state… I guess the 750 US foreign military bases are not enough for them anymore. Viva Colonialism.
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.
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.
Wait. What did I miss? Why mango? He’s orange.
Mango Mussolini gives that beautiful alliteration
Please remember that all this is noise to hide the great billionaire sacking of america. Smoke screen.
Threats to other countries isn’t noise… It doesn’t seem appropriate to hand wave away threats to other people.
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.
…Are we the baddies?
Have been for a very long time. (love wkuk)
“You’re gambling with World War 3.”
“You don’t have the cards.” 🃏
Imagine sacrificing your youth and life to serve your country… And you are given commands by this orange turd…
There is no way my son will be serving in a Trump army, fighting in a Trump war. You know that it will be incompetently managed, with more of an emphasis on making sure lots of government war contracts go to those who have properly kissed his ass and paid bribes/kickbacks, rather than the safe and effective deployment of our troops.
So many things these days scream, “I want action, screw results!” It’s almost like as society we don’t understand mid/long term thinking anymore and are just constantly chasing instant gratification while digging deeper and deeper into the hole we’re trying to get out of.
Well.
There goes the element of surprise.
Scream loudly if you carry a little orange dick.

People of the US military: look up “illegal orders” and “Nürnberg” as long as you can find those terms.
'Illegal orders”? Why do you think was the reason for Hegseth to fired JAGs?
“illegal orders” and “Nürnberg”
American and British courts, as a general rule, refused to accept as a defense the plea of obedience to a superior’s illegal orders under any circumstances.
Can we please just invade the White House and depose Donald? Seems better for America.
May he choke on his own flayed cock force fed to him… but he’s really quite the idiot. If he hadn’t fired the competent leaders of the military, he could have just asked them to pull the pre-made plans out of the file drawer. I don’t remember if it was at the end of bush’s term, or when Assange released documents, but there was a period where the fact was being talked about on everything from radio stations to the local pubs that the US had ‘just in case’ plans for many of their allies. I would also put money on most countries having vague guidelines and goals drawn up for emergencies where a dickhead in an allied country takes power.
If they didn’t have defence plans before, they sure do now!
Illegal wars are a wonderfull distraction from kleptocracy.
Sheesh, if I had $1.1 trillion every time a Republican administration tried that trick…
technically it’s not a war it’s a ‘спецопера́ция’
Ah yes, the fabled ‘special operations’ thing.
Can our military just step up already and take these fuckers out? They are duty-bound to refuse unlawful orders.
And these people are fucking traitors.
Even if his orders are lawful, they’ve sworn an oath to defend the constitution from all threats foreign and domestic: they’re duty bound to engage him in the exact same way they do with a combatant from Isis or something. Donald Trump is an enemy to the US.
25th Amendment also applies here. Orange hitler is obviously deranged and dangerous.
Never going to happen. They have given everything to MAGA, if Trump is out of the picture then it’s game over. No one cares about Vance, the population would be so enraged he would be impeached and removed faster then you can imagine.
Ok hear me out for a second, sugarpie. The maximum leader of the military is the president. Any attacks on him is considered treason and can get them an expedited ticket to the death penalty.
Hear me out. If they take out president, vice present… An so on until ask the rot is removed, then the next sane president can issue pardons.
I’m not condoning violence, this is in fact just mercy
Dunno in what world lemmy users live.
Yeah, military coups always work out real well
They have, in similar cases, acted as a transition between untenable authoritarianism, and democracy. I would trust our top officers over anyone in Trump’s cabinet (or even the Republican Congress at this point).
I’m well aware of the dangers of a military coup. I just don’t know how else this could ever be stopped.
Well, we are between a rock and a fascist state.
Can it be any worse than the Trump regime?
You’re mentally ill brother. Take your meds
What did we hear from Trumpers last year, that he was the candidate for peace or some such shit?
They meant a candidate for ‘piece.’ A piece of this country, a piece of that country.
Ah, my mistake lol.
He was angling for the Nobel peace prize in Ukraine but I guess he figured out it was too hard
His buddy Vlad won’t allow that!

I miss when I would wake up and check the news and nothing particularly crazy was going on. Like you would click on the TV and they are talking about a zoo that recently got a baby giraffe or something.
