Trump's Second Term

ANyway we will not annex Canada until 2073 as someone pointed out.
And that was in response to China invading Alaska...
War.War never changes.
BTW still a little disspaointed that that bit of future history never made it to the Fallout miniseries.

No need, we will have it IRL. And the nukes. Gotta say I don't think I have a single bottle cap at my house.
 
Seems as though Trump policy has canged from American Isolationism to American bringing back 19th Century style Impeeralism.
Who knows what Trump will want in a couple of weeks?
 
SOme have suggested that Trump did this partly to upstage the funeral for Jimmy Carter. Sad thing is, I think this is true. He really is that petty.
I think it's more to distract from his sentencing that's coming up on Friday. Oh, even though there's been talk of no consequences, I hope that the judge pulls a surprise and hits him with everything.
Easier to simply refuse passage to US shipping. The canal is busy. So ships have to "book a slot" in advance to go through. Refuse to accept US ships on the list. Easy solution, everyone else wins.
They'd better not try a blockade of the shipping routes. That's how we get The Phantom Menace.

The judge has already stated he isn't going to impose a prison sentence or community service. Mostly, this is to slap him around.

My stament about sabotaging the Canal was based on the assumption that, from a pure Military view, the US probably could do it, but the Panamian government would then blow up the locks as retaliation. If the US is in possesion of the Canal, Paname could not, boviouly, ban US shipping the way Norman suggested.
 
When was the last time a terriorty was actully sold to another country?
What make me angry about the suggestio is that it gives no voice to the Greenland inhabitants.
Which is why it will never happen. Trump is not going to buy it, if he wants it he is going to have to take it.
 
If Panama stop American ships or charge huge rates it will just encourage an invasion.
Plus, they are treaty bound to give priority to US Navy ships.
Sticking to the law again? How charming. Treaties can be ignored, just ask Trumpy. Because I don't think a retaliatory invasion is a condition of any treaty.
 
What does Trump have to say to convince the Republicans he's batcrap crazy?! Panama, Greenland, Canada. It'll be bloody Russia next.
They know full well this major cuckoo has fallen off his twig, hit every branch of dumb with his head on the way down, and is now upside-down in a trash-can still babbling. But they also know it takes commitment to that kind of performance art to deflect and distract from their own impending disasters. So while the TV cameras follow him, they aren't following them...
 
Alito calls Trump. Some kind of deal with Alito underling.
Nexr week SC will overturn Trump's NY state cases. Coronation on Jan 20th. Greenland attached Feb 1st. Nato kicked out day before.
 
I never had a problem with the confirmation. The damage (the Election) has already been done. (and we have a looong way to go.) I'm sure there were a few small group protests but nothing like four years ago. That's a date that lives in infamy.
January 6, 2021 is the date America had a massive heart attack. First responders were inept, not aggressively tending to the victim. The patient has managed to linger on, though in a very weakened state. The current prognosis is not encouraging.
 
The Biden Justice Dept either should have gone in early and hard on Trump or just forgotten about it. A half arsed prosecution that was too late only enraged his base and missed the wave of disgust from his own party when it was strongest.
