Imperialism didn't ever really leave, it's still a tax haven and controlled by the US via neocolonial rule. In addition, construction began earlier this year to dam the Indio river and create a new reservoir to supply the canal, despite everyone actually living there opposing it. Given it's located outside the Canal's watershed,it's going to have downstream effects and further fuck up the river system/water cycle

The people using this expansionist rhetoric, and those in the media who are downplaying its use, should be wiped from the face of the planet.

No peace for tyrants.

Trump stirs tensions with remarks on buying Greenland, seizing Panama Canal

Greenland and Panama shouldn't worry too much. Trump's successes are limited to stuff like giving big tax breaks to the filthy rich and kissing up to sleazy dictators.

Colonialism went out of fashion after World War II as European powers gradually learned that colonies were not worth the trouble and expense.

If Trump had any brains he would have learned from Russia's failed and costly attempt to grab one of its former colonies – Ukraine. His ruminations about an American colonial empire are just another sign of his advancing dementia.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) seemed to support President-elect Donald Trump’s proposals to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal during an interview Monday on Fox News. (Watch the video below.)

Host Kellyanne Conway, a former Trump adviser, asked Blackburn to walk viewers through some of Trump’s recent musings on Truth Social and “why they’re important.”

In the last few days, Trump again suggested he wants the U.S. to purchase Greenland from Denmark and operate it for defensive purposes. He also threatened to take back the Panama Canal from Panama over “exorbitant prices” for passage.

Blackburn appeared to give preliminary backing to the president-elect on those matters.

Trump had received a “mandate” from voters to transform President Joe Biden’s “America-last policy” into one that puts America first, she claimed.

“So when it comes to dealing with the Panama Canal and making certain that China is not being advantaged in this, and America disadvantaged, of course, let’s put this issue on the table and talk about it,” she said.
