The problem with this type thinking sir is you seemingly do not grasp that a FIRM WARNING beforehand creates less wars not more, if the world would have sent Hitler a firm warning after he took the Sudetenland and he would not have carried on, instead the Brits and Chamberlin sought to appease him.

This is just a case of hindsight. At the time, no one in Europe, especially Britain, was ready or willing to get involved in another massive war. It was hoped that the appeasement would at least buy some time. I would suggest that the real failure was the Versailles treaty.

What about Panama? 

What about the rest of the post? The answers as to how many will suffer and die?

Do they matter or are their deaths unimportant to Christians?

Panama is not relevant, Trump sent them a VERY STRONG MESSAGE, you just try to sell out to Commie Red China, "Go Ahead Make My Day"

Instead of a Biden like response of "Hey , You, you, you Indians or are you guys of Spain yard heritage? Anyways, get that joke brothers, anyway, I see y'all are cashing in on China just like me and my brother and son, got to respect game man, I'm a bad man, just ask peanut the squirrel."

China is a cruel nation with eyes to take over the world, just like Russia and Islam.

But, just because the Chinese operate ports as a business deal at the request of Panama does not mean that they are going to take control of the canal.

American farmers sell and buy from China, DJT buys all his stuff from China (check the label), ships bring Chinese products to the US everyday.

Is the US going to bomb Panama just because the Chinese operate the port system there?

The Chinese operate a port in Israel (I think), should the US invade Israel because the Chinese operate a port there?

Are there Chinese troops, ships, and planes attacking Panama? NO

Is there danger from the Chinese government? Yes

Is that threat, at this time, worth going to war over? No

There are some, who would pretend, that the threat is greater than it really is, for political gain.

Those false threats, overblown threats about China in Panama will lead to many deaths and suffering for the people of Panama and America.

How many will die for a lie?

So you don't care, that thousands of people will lose their lives, suffer, lose there houses, businesses, and peace in their nation?

That Americans who live there in peace will be targeted?

That another war will be started?

And when the people of Panama say "No", what then?

Bring out the bombs and guns. Make them obey Trump, kill them if they don't. I don't believe that would be the Christian love way of doing things.

Your personal attacks on Biden don't help your cause.

Biden is history, forget about him. Trump is the future until he goes. Whatever he decides will become the policy. It is my opinion, that most people and many Christians will have some doubts after some time passes.

You know, there is another way.

It's called preaching the gospel of love for Jesus/God and our neighbors.

What will happen?

Bomb their nation, kill their men, women, and children living in peace, destroy their homes, businesses, food, lives,

And then say, "Jesus loves you"? I don't believe that will work out too well.

What about all the churches that have missionaries there? What will happen to their efforts to preach the love of Jesus.

Overthrow the Panama government and put a US friendly government in, standard politics

Trump isn't going to allow China to control the canal, its that simple

If China doesn't back off the canal it will be immediate tariffs going up every day in China's rebellion

MAGA "America First"!

It's about world trade and jobs for Americans, Trump isn't America's Billy Graham 

Trump will start with economic tariffs on China, and wrench up the pressure to gain control

Yes, that worked really well in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Exactly how is China going to do that?

The Chinese don't have the ships to transport a ground force capable of sustaining an occupying army in Panama.

The US would know years or months aheadthat they were mounting an attack.

But nothing like that is happening.

I wonder if Trump will put tariffs on his MAGA merchandise? It mostly comes from China.

God is love, so it is the Gospel of love first.

Love your neighbor is second.

Love all the souls of the world and preach the love gospel to save them is third. 

Love your family is fourth.

-

Beat your swords into plows. Be a peacemaker.

That is what Jesus said. 

Peace makers bring peace, war makers bring war, death, and suffering.

I agree. He doesn't have the love in his heart.

It's all about money, greed, vengeance, and power. It will always be that way for the people of the world.

But we cannot be that way. We have joined to Jesus who is love and mercy. Christians are the love and mercy in this world.

Have mercy on the people of Panama.
