Posting this regards Trump's ambitions to take back the Panama Canal. If you watch this you get an idea of the size of the vessel, which cannot fit in the newly constructed canal.

.....sure it can't fit at all .....and still no Trump fan but USA has plenty such ships and most utilize the USA west coast ports so W(hy)TF would they need to utilize the Panama canal.... wait they have a smaller fleet on the east coast too ......and then  this big fella and plenty others no where near USA but in the Med to also project power in the middle east....so the Panama canal has never been a naval issue even if Trump or others may think it is.....

Sabre rattling, pick a fight with anyone and everyone to announce MY return to Make America Great Again - in his mind he thinks the USA is respected now he is back in the White House


 

@cnc...I have too much respect for fellow Clanners than to further engage in political discussions that can only lead to ill feeling...we see things differently and I can respect that and leave things be...

I'll end my contribution by saying two things...

Firstly, during the 2016 election cycle, a leftist journalist came close to understanding where the problem lies...journalists and leftists take Trump literally but not seriously whilst his supporters take him seriously but not literally...

This quote says so much:
"The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to people's fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That's why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular. I call it truthful hyperbole. It's an innocent form of exaggeration - and a very effective form of promotion." Donald Trump p. 58 - Trump: The Art of the Deal (1987)
He talks big because he's a salesman / dealmaker first and being a politician is not something he aspired to...so there's a lot of bluster and bravado and exaggeration but I can see past that to what he is trying to accomplish...to negotiate from a position of supposed strength to get most of the outcomes be thinks will benefit the US, prevent / end wars and leave a positive legacy after he's gone...

He lives a life better than 99% of the people on earth and didn't have to go the route of politics...listen to him on Oprah in the 1980's and to his two campaigns...he's stayed consistent in what ails the US and the world...not the politicians the blow with the wind to secure their next grift...getting into politics only created problems for him...you called him a crook yet when he was a Democrat and friends with the Clintons and other Democrat politicians were getting donations from him, they didn't think him to be so...only when he ran as a Republican and defeated their darling queen, Killary, did they turn the authorities or him...his biggest critics (Hillary, McCain, Romney) have been those that failed to get into the White House...smacks of jealousy...as some-one one asked: "Why him, not me?" Maybe they are wondering "How him, not me?" because they oversell their supposed virtue...

The majority of people voted for what he is trying to do and polls show that the majority are happy with his actions so far as they have largely matched his political speak during campaigning...must be a shock that a politician is actually walking the talk...if they don't like it, the Republicans will lose in the midterms and that will be end of Trump politically as he will be a lame duck for the last two years...

Secondly, pay close attention to what Trump says and what the actual actions are...his talk is about getting people on the back foot and to gauge reaction and the eventual actions are often a watered down compromise that benefits the majority...you cannot please all the people all of the time but if you can get the majority of the people agreeing with what you are doing most of the time, you are doing good...

I wish you well, especially with your health...I bear no ill will to anyone...and with United in the doldrums, I hope Arsenal win something for you even though they ar etrying very hard not to!!...with Liverpool dropping points it could get close if any of the teams chasing them put together a 8-10 game winning run...

.....but that is Trump a big tough bully....and most in USA voted  for this... so when some mad arabs drive another bomb boat into a naval ship ala Cole style they will be dragged into a conflict that he said he wont allow to happen.... 

Thanks for your kind words regarding my health tnaicker but I am cancer free so no health issues.

Good health is our greatest wealth so I'm happy all good with you...I had a health scare in my early 20's and 30 years later I'm grateful for every single day and the people I still have around me...so, I can empathise with your experience...

Hope you got the odd pound on the 33/1 my dartboard guessed earlier !!
 

We don’t appreciate life until something bad happens with one’s health

Unfortunately  I did not see your dartboard until well after Well done,  not often a big priced winner is posted up

He has got to be the world's greatest grifter, no hyperbole needed.

Can't wait for 12.00 o'clock (Israeli time) tomorrow, Hamas beware the Donald is going to unleash his wrath.

,,,,,don't be fooled he wont get USA directly involved should they not cave.....he will get the Israelis to go full tilt at Hamas again.... and give them what they need to get the job done

......locally I also find it laughable that some trolls on most podcasts on recent events recon that we do not need USA cause we got BRIC(K)S and will resist Trump.....fair enough but should Trump finds out that ANC assisted sanctioned Iran in any way....he only has to park their smallest carrier with a few support vessels  15km off KZN coast between Richards Bay and Durban and have with them 2 empty super tankers and then make offers to shipping companies transporting crude and diesel to those ports to buy their  cargo....then transferring it to the standby super tankers.....we will be totally f@cked inside of 6 weeks.....so that GNU deligation seeking an audience with Trump will  have to perform some serious arse licking...

Muhti, go full tilt against against people living in tents, not going to happen. If Netanyahu does that, if will become a War Criminal, that's a guarantee.

This is a form of ethnic cleansing and genocide.

......they will not need to bomb or shoot them anymore.....just go in police the shit out of camps to find weapons and  weed out all known Hamas perpetrators.....the Israelis have the most advanced facial recognition tech on the planet and coupled with drones seek out Hamas as many of these f@ckers filmed themselves committing those vile acts that kicked off this crap....also there are many arabic Israeli agents now embedded in Gaza as aid workers and medical personal gathering info on what is left of Hamas and supporters that will direct IDF to arrest detain and extract info on others.....Trump will simply supply all the cement or explosives to block or rock every tunnel still operational...Hamas will be totally exterminated should they fail to comply......

Doubt there is one building standing untouched in Gaza for Hamas to hide - if they haven't achieved their goal of having all the Israeli hostages back by now, some 14 months after this all started, what makes you think they will find them in Gaza now. One thing Trump is correct about, there's just bombed buildings and rubble there. Trump has always said "level it", so says the World's Peace Ambassador.

Somehow don't believe the hostages were being held captive in Gaza, to obvious and small an area.
