And we’re still in the first week😎

“The ChiComs are building a permanent road through the Darian. Yon has documented this.”

I saw this report on YouTube. He was boots on the ground there to check things out. There are a few Chinese only base camps there to rest in Darien gap. He actually went up to them to talk to Chinese invasion walkers there. But the Chinese dudes refused to talk and engage with Yon.

Saw that, too, along with footage documenting construction of the highway throughout the jungle. Amazed he got out.

[dennisw]

Michael Yon has balls. I believe he brought a friend or two with him to The Darien.
CCP China has an in, in Panama. Due to Panama historically having a high Chinese population. Perhaps some came to build the Panama Canal.

Inform them all. If we find any of your citizen in our country illegally you can’t get any type of relief money and your tariffs are 80%

[Dan in Wichita]

Rubio will not need an interpreter because he is fluent in Spanish.

[dfwgator]

I suspect liberating Cuba from the Communists will also be a high priority.

[ro_dreaming]

They ‘own’ many of our toll roads already, and we pay them for the privilege to drive on them.

I’ve seen Van Halen a couple of times, and they were great either way. But, I’ve been a fan of VH since the early 80’s...

A MAN A PLAN A CANAL NICARAGUA - Sorry, it just doesn’t work.

[dfwgator]

Cue Van Halen

Or The New Riders Of The Purple Sage

[Tallguy]

Just spit-balling, but what are the chances that the Canal Zone facilities will be used to house the deportees that the USAF will be transporting?

[datricker]

That might be true but I don't think china cares if they flood Nicaragua - opps the levee broke oh no the canal just bigger. You ever heard of the 3 gorges dam. I worked with a chinese guy, his village was older than Nicaragua by lots, its now underwater. I can't remember how many millions of people they displaced but it was very very large much larger than population of Nicaragua many times over.

Ortega would let them do it, we probably wouldn't though

[1Old Pro]

Newly confirmed Secretary of State Marco Rubio is already planning his first international trip – to Panama. Why do you suppose he is going there?

He's going to make them an offer than can't refuse. we simply cannot have China having any influence there and they have significant influence there - that will change quickly.

Kind of like Boston flooding out four towns in Western MA to assure their water supply:

[datricker]

Yikes!. I guess that is one way to do it

[9YearLurker]

And we no longer have to worry about hurting Jimmy’s feelings for righting his wrong.

[CapnJack]

I hope Rubio is up for the task. It should be a “Michael meets Mo Green” meeting.

[jmacusa]

I hope he does too.

I think Rubio is a decent sort. At first he no doubt thought he could be a presidential contender in 2016 but Trump cut him down a few pegs but from what I see President Trump is showing Rubio the ‘’art of the deal’’.

He’s giving Rubio the training and the experience on how to deal with titans of industry and heads of state.

This is “The Apprentice’’ for Marco Rubio and I think it’s great.

[Ex gun maker.]

Needs to be a completely USA operation.
The Texas coast has several natural harbors.
I am sure they already have some ports too.
But for this I think it needs to be a fresh start, no entrenched union thuggery, latest automated tech for efficiency and no “Fell offa truck” thievery.
