So, Panama drops out of China’s Belt and Road Initiative amidst US pressure and US takes over the Gaza Strip, thereby gaining access to the Ben Gurion port, which would enable Israel to build the Ben Gurion Canal. Watch how hard China and Russia denounces the displacement of the Palestinian people. They don’t care. No one does. They are worried about Israel, and the US, controlling the world’s shipping lanes.

The Great Game is back. Thing is, the Chinese have shown a level of ability where execution matches with rhetoric. America has only been able to “speak loudly”. This might change with the new administration, but I’ve been smack in the middle of it all for decades so not holding my breath.

Great insight though. Thanks.

Time will tell. 🤛

or…they just really, really, really like boats.

😂😂 🤷‍♂️

Thanks, I needed some levity. I read too much while my daughter is napping on me. I end up in too many dark rabbit holes.

same…I often have to fight the urge to go down the dark rabbit holes

life’s too short and none of us are getting out alive anyway

It’s a tough one. I’m naturally curious and enjoy attempting to understand the “big picture” and try to educate myself as much as possible. I think it’s important to ask “why”, but then even more important to not let the answers make you nihilistic.

Doc likely right on this one folks

I like boats too

ditto

Sounds like US is winning

I suppose they are……

They say it’s gonna be the Riviera of the Middle East

Yup that’s exactly what’s happening , straight from the Phoenician playbook

Don’t worry, the next US administration will sell the canal back to Palestine for $1 like Nixon did for Panama.

It’s all a clown show no matter who’s running things.

It is!
