That's nice.

Now that you've finished at the podium, let me start off this thread with you -the same way I ended Thread 3 - Communist sympathier Jade, Yes or No, Confirm or Deny - - is it possible that China has already/is presently/or will in the future - bring weapons, munitions, arms and short-range missiles or medium-range missiles (or missile parts) into Panama?

First of all, your sarcasm is not appreciated.

Next, the U.S. would step in at that point.

Sorry..that's me.

Yes, I'd think that the U. S. would be upset if the Chinese attempted to stop our ships from traversing the canal. But, what I wonder - during wartimes, how long would it take us to - dispense with the Chinese down there ie. how long would it take before we finally could use the canal once the U. S. stepped in?
