The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I have read before that the President of Panama is cozy with God and Savior Trump. The Chinese are complaining that Trump pushed Panama to file the suit, that China lost.

Here's a bit of irony: until Panama can put port management up for bid, the ports will be temporarily managed by Maersk, which is based in Denmark. You remember Denmark? The country God on Earth Trump was threatening war on, over Greenland?

China threatens Panama after ruling favors US interests over canal: 'Heavy price'

the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a social media publication that "China has sufficient means and tools, and sufficient strength and ability to defend a fair and just international economic and trade order."

If Panamanian authorities "insist on having their own way ... heavy prices both politically and economically will surely be paid!" China also appeared to make a reference to the U.S., saying "some country has ... used bullying tactics to force other countries to obey their will."

I would not be surprised to see a reestablished Canal "security zone" with a US garrison, enabled by leveraging the Chinese threat.
