Whats the difference between a #realestate property and a contry
Since the lease agreement between Panama and the U.S. ended in 1999, China has won numerous bids to manage specific sections of the canal’s ports. These bids aren't perpetuitous and have an end date.

#China’s control of the canal mostly came under former President Donald #Trump, who shied away from trade details in Latin America. During that time, Chinese President Xi #Jinping embarked on a major campaign across the region. In 2017

Market Realist · China Doesn’t Own the Panama Canal, but Does Have a Lot of ControlChina’s increasing control over the Panama Canal doesn’t make it an owner, but it’s still concerning for developed nations like the U.S.

Ich schätze, #Putin lehnt sich gerade gemütlich zurück und beobachtet genüsslich, wie #Trump, #Musk und #Vance die #USA und die #NATO zerlegen.

Sobald sie damit fertig sind (und bei dem jetzigen Tempo sind es wohl eher Monate als Jahre) kann er sich gemütlich nehmen, was er haben will.

Und Xi #Jinping kann sein Glück vermutlich gar nicht fassen.
#Taiwan wird bei einem Angriff von China wohl in Stunden kollabieren, weil niemand zu Hilfe kommt, kommen kann.

Trump: Totengräber der Demokratien

Former U.S. national security adviser #Susan #Rice delivered a damning critique Thursday of Donald Trump and his foreign policy agenda for aiming to appease Russian President Vladimir Putin during the ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

“The fundamentals of national security — that America needs to be strong, that we need to stand with our allies, we need to stand for our values, we have to mean what we say … never used to be under serious question,” she told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell

“And along comes Donald #Trump, who really is like the #Neville #Chamberlain of the Republican Party,” Rice continued. “He’s an appeaser. He’s a surrender monkey. And that’s what we’re seeing in his approach to Ukraine.”

Chamberlain exercised a policy of “appeasement” during his tenure as British prime minister in the years leading up to World War II, in a failed attempt to prevent Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler from expanding German control of Europe and waging war on the United Kingdom.

Trump has long been accused of having a "curious" relationship with Putin and recently refused to endorse a Ukrainian victory over Russia.

“We’ve seen him fold to blandishments from #Xi #Jinping and many others when it was convenient for him and served his personal interests,” Rice told O’Donnell,
referring to the many instances in which Trump has praised the Chinese president from the White House.

“So that is why more than 700 Democrats, Republicans and Independents
— very senior national security leaders
— came together to oppose Donald Trump and support [Vice President] Kamala Harris,” she continued,

referring to an open letter published last month.

The document was signed by current and former defense officials, including former defense secretaries #Chuck #Hagel and #William #Cohen
— Republicans who served respectively under Democratic former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton
— as well as ex-CIA director #Michael #Hayden

HuffPost · Susan Rice Calls Trump A 'Surrender Monkey' For Trying To Appease Putin On UkraineBy Marco Margaritoff

President Xi #Jinping has ordered the PLA to become a “world class” military by 2049. A big part of that involves developing autonomous weaponry, including hypersonic missiles, and using #AI for a range of applications, including electronic warfare.

It is unclear how close #China is to achieving this goal. @geopolitics
