This is dangerius rhetoric but I don’t believe the US military needs to be told to “plan” for an invasion of anywhere on the planet. The plan is already on a big shelf between “blow up the Vatican” and “mine the Marianas Trench”

[–] Malgas@beehaw.org 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Hell, the US military has a detailed strategic plan for responding to zombies.

Not that that sort of thing is unique to the US. cf. Crisis in Zefira, a sci-fi training scenario commissioned by National Defense Canada.

[–] sonori@beehaw.org 2 points 13 hours ago

Ya, zombies tend to be a really popular disaster to workshop a response to because planning a response to them can basically involve close collaboration between any group of agencies at all levels of government/healthcare.

100% and even if they did it wouldn't be communicated through the press. This is the loud mouth in chief "negotiating" in public again.

“Trump is the anti war president”

Americans are the dumbest motherfuckers around

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 6 points 14 hours ago

Always have been.

But just imagine having that old decrepit warmonger Biden running things. Or even worse... shudder... a woman.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 6 points 13 hours ago

A non-white woman at that...

Panama attacked us! We better take them over in self defense! - Donny Dump

[–] assaultpotato@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 day ago (2 children)

First Panama. Then Greenland. Then us.

We must speak up now before there is no one to speak for us.

Didn't France send a nuclear submarine to hang out with you guys?

[–] healthetank@lemmy.ca 9 points 18 hours ago

Unfortunately it was planned long before. They started their trip I. january. Also bringing the sub over for us to look at as we're possibly buying some. https://www.ctvnews.ca/atlantic/nova-scotia/article/french-nuclear-submarine-visiting-halifax/

You give him too much credit, it's all going to happen on the same day.

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 36 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Panama should make sure that there are an ample amount of explosives placed throughout the canal, and convey in clear terms to Trump that these will be triggered if the U.S makes any move that threatens their sovereignty.

And block pass of all ships moving from and to the US.

All they have to do is open all the lock doors at once.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (2 children)
[–] dermanus@lemmy.ca 2 points 13 hours ago

It'll drain the reservoir in the middle and make the whole canal useless until it refills

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Drains the water from every lock and turns it into a river (temporarily at least).

Here's a 20 second video of how it works.

Throughout the Trump rolling disaster, there has always been some adult in the room will tell him no. That was true during his first term. It’s no longer true.

There’s a belief that there’s an adult in the room in the US military that will say no if he orders something crazy. Not sure if that’s true at all this time around.

Didn’t the DUI hire purge all of them?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 14 hours ago

Driving under influence?

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 8 points 23 hours ago

Would love to see no one, except maybe the navy, using the Panama canal because no insurance company is going to cover them while there.
