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.

        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/

    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

          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.

    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.

    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”

      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.

      Hell, the US military has a detailed strategic plan for responding to zombies.

      Not that that sort of thing is unique to the US. cf. Crisis in Zefira, a sci-fi training scenario commissioned by National Defense Canada.

        Ya, zombies tend to be a really popular disaster to workshop a response to because planning a response to them can basically involve close collaboration between any group of agencies at all levels of government/healthcare.

    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.
