Another DEM doing his best for America.

China’s presence in the canal zone allows it to block U.S. access at will. That could mean in the outbreak of war in the Indo-Pacific, it could prevent the U.S. Navy from surging ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the canal. FOR THE SECURITY OF THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE, AMERICA MUST CONTROL THE OPERATION OF THE PANAMA CANAL. IT'S AS IMPORTANT AS THE SUEZ CANAL IS TO EUROPE AND THE MIDDLE EAST. HOW DID CHINA GAIN SO MUCH INFLUENCE IN THE PANAMA CANAL. IT WASN’T THAT LONG AGO THAT THE US CONTROLLED IT. THANK PEANUT BOY
