Russia warns Trump against seizing Panama Canal

[rto]

Russia warned President Trump on Tuesday against seizing the Panama Canal, after he reiterated his intent to take control of the strategic waterway in his second inaugural address Monday.

“We expect that during the expected discussions between the leadership of Panama and US President Donald Trump on issues of control over the Panama Canal, which certainly falls within the sphere of their bilateral relations, the parties will respect the current international legal regime of this key waterway,” said Alexander Shchetinin, director of the Latin American Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, according to Russian state media outlet, TASS.

Shchetinin reaffirmed Russia’s commitment to the neutrality . . .

Your right buddy on both choices. One with a moat filled with gators and piranha the other needing BILLIONS $$ in repairs. Watched a good documentary on the Panama canal and it was not showing it in a positive light.
Trying to remember it all but their is some big lake north of the canal that is the key source for its water for the locks. Sadly after many years of use its drying up. Also their is many miles of canal more than what we see pictures of the locks ships use. That is just a small part of the whole system. If mega billions $$ are not spent on cleaning out the whole water way paths and soon? It will become impassable.
Russia does not have that kind of money so their argument may just be a mute one.

ADD: Their is another feasible water way a bit north of the Panama canal engineers are weighing the cost of a new canal versus fixing the old one??

Hey white nigger we built the fucking thing.

They're just trying to make the point that them taking Ukraine, which was their territory is the same as the US taking back Panama and the canal. It's just Russkie political gotcha games.

[dinkydow]

Hey white nigger we built the fucking thing.

And 35,000 Americans died during its construction. We also "created" the nation of Panama to enable the canals construction as well as paying for it all. Fuck what Russia and china says. They want a canal....go build one. Our military vessels being charged ten times the rate of other nations military vessels is about to end.

Just another of jimmah the peanut headed dumbfuck's gross errors in American foreign policy.

Vatnik propaganda was getting so over the top a few years ago the Russian's claimed to have won every war in history including the US war for Independence and the Civil War. They also claimed to have invented the computer, telephone, airplane ect ect., so I would not be surprised if Putang believes Russians dug the canal.

Truth is Russia does not have the tech to dig the canal now, let alone in 1903.

Russia has been too busy getting it's ass kicked over the last 3 years during Vlad's "police action" on their border.
