US ships able to transit Panama Canal without charge fees
Post Millennial ^

Posted on 02/05/2025 5:49:38 PM PST by janetjanet998

The US State Department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio has announced on Wednesday that "U.S. government vessels can now transit the Panama Canal without charge fees." This, the State Department notes, will save the US "millions of dollars a year." Rubio had warned Panama to curb Chinese influence over the Canal.

This is a change in the recently implemented policy of Panama which required increased charge fees of all ships passing through the Canal.

It’s fun to actually ACT like the most powerful country on the planet that we are.

No bowing by obummer.

No giving away everythig by byedone.

No talk of the world melting and we’re the reason, a la gore.

No nonsensical talk of the US being a salad and not a melting pot..from the rapist.

It’s a nice change :)

After all, IT’S OUR CANAL. I offered that bastard Jimmah Cartah a buck for it and he gave it to the Panamaniac guy instead.

Thanks for the reminder. It’s really hard to believe the crap we’ve had to swallow over the last 16 years.

Barely three weeks into the Trump presidency and it’s difficult to take all this winning so quickly.

Not.

I’m enjoying the spectacle the ‘rats are putting on. Better than afternoon soap operas.

Some might even stroke out. That would be great reality tv.

The Studio 6B guys on RAV showed a hilarious montage of Democrat meltdowns from the past couple of days just a little while ago.

So what has been done to handle the water problem?
There is a sea at each end.

Good beginning.

Now, put a Carrier Task Force at either end of the Canal with Combat Air Patrol Sorties on a daily basis until China takes down all those signs written in Chinese that litter the Canal, pack up their rice bowls and take that proverbial ‘Slow Boat Back to China’.

The Panama Canal is a gravity fed system based on rainwater falling in the mountainous central part of the isthmus. Seawater cannot be used to feed it. It’s a real engineering marvel; I strongly recommend learning how it works.
