#2 If the U.S. do go in, I hope the first strategy of the take over would be to quietly land Paratroopers and Special Forces to secure every bridge crossing the canal, from being blown and blocking the canal!

/\ Yes! Rename it the 'American' Canal. Flood the Zone with troops on both ends. Retake Howard AFB and kick out/retire the worthless Zonians. Night airborne operations from day one.

Bring in armed General Dynamics, Raytheon, and/or Lockheed civilian contractors to run lock operations. Day three and four, open the golf courses at Fort Amador and host a BBQ.

Appoint a military commander, send the current operators home on a slow boat to China and be done with it.

Any resistance or sabotage should be met with stronger actions to include summary executions as needed.

We have a Georgia peanut farmer to blame for all of this.

#4 But it is ironic that Mulino did so on the X social network owned by Elon Musk, who recently astonished the world with an ambiguous gesture.

Can we please get over this nonsense about Musk's "gesture"?

#5 with an ambiguous gesture.

It has come to the attention of the journalistic world that if they say Nazi gesture, Mr. Musk will win the lawsuit and get painful settlement fees.

#6 Ft. Amador and Ft. Gulick had decent clubs, but never played golf while in the Zone, rained hard every damn day.
