One of various reasons China wants to take Panama.
Panamanians are without capacity to adjust to world markets/realities.
Panama’s location is strategically vital for various reasons such as Canal, and pathway to South America. Panama is one of the most vital terrains on earth.
Costa Rica is on Silk Road 2.0 and will be taken. The land and sea will not be left to Panamanians, or anyone else who cannot defend and operate it. Panamanians and indigenous will be swept aside by storms and global currents beyond comprehension of most Americans, Europeans, and Panamanians.
Netherlands and others also being swept away. Places like Ukraine and Israel are nothing under force of these currents.
Texas does not have a border.
The US Government is pumping millions of incompatibles into our aquarium. While the highly-vaxxed US military concentrates on foreign, concocted wars, core Americans are scheduled for genocide.
USA has no border.
China wants Panama for reasons such as this: https://oxfordenergy.org/wpcms/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/China-has-strong-incentive-to-widen-Panama-Canal.pdf
The article makes some excellent points. China knows the game. They lend with a quiet nod, a sly wink—money handed over with strings no one sees. And these nations with pockets full of holes and hands shaking for more, they bite. They bite because the bait is sweet, and the hook, it's hidden deep.
Unlike the IMF and World Bank, the Chinese don’t ask for covenants. They ask for collateral. It’s a chessboard, and they want to hold the queens.
A mine, a power plant, or, let's say, the Panama Canal—these are chips in a high stakes pot. And when the debts go unpaid, as they always do, China cashes in. Not just on land and metal, but on leverage. Leverage to bend a nation, maybe even to ignite fires of political unrest if it suits them.
So it goes. A loan here, a port there, until the map’s redrawn with debts and the debtors can’t remember freedom.
If we Texans only had a real Governer with some ba**'s.
