Perhaps it's just DJT's way of extending an offer at opening negotiations for more favorable treatment of US company ships in export and import transit. 

Bingo!  Ding-ding-ding-ding . . . . . !!!!!

That is exactly what it is . . . . .

DJT said he does not want war, but this is sabre-rattling. Perhaps it's just DJT's way of extending an offer at opening negotiations for more favorable treatment of US company ships in export and import transit. 

Agreed, but now that I am reading about China's financial and business take-overs of the Canal bit by bit, I can see it's more than just fair treatment he is concerned about.

Besides the cost of shipping we pay for when we buy things, the canal is very important to our navy, and we can not let China get any control over it at all.

Both Nicaragua and Mexico are looking for ways to create a better passage.

never speak of Biden/Harris leadership!

 It is a given that the country has  been ravaged and still is being ravaged to the final moment  and perhaps beyond. Who doesn't already know of that?

Biggest USA political problem now is likely the RINO's,

BUT today is a day of higher aspiration  an eve of awe leading to a celebration a birthday. What an honor it is to be aware of our Lord his incarnation with it's high purpose.

A RINO is just another kind of Democrat.  You might as well say Democrats are the biggest problem, but somehow you never do.

How about Trump threatens to take control of national interests first. How about he threatens to NOT  participate with the Federal reserve printing billions of worthless dollars in military " aid" to countries that are wiping tens and thousands of innocent civilians off the face of the earth? We are in the New covenant where God commands us to love our neighbors and be peacemakers, not war mongers. We obey Christ first. 

Here's my overall point: we literally have a new class of people IN OUR COUNTRY called the hopeless class, hooked on fentanyl and heroin, in every major city. This is a national emergency, let alone a cry for humanity. How many billions are printed to be shipped out of this country to take life, when not one dollar is printed to help our own. PATHETIC.

But who even thinks we have a " two party" system? Aren't they just two different feathers of the same bird?

They can still do a lot of damage in the time they have left.

They are doing a lot of damage. Just goes to show you that the Democrats don't care anything about the Country as long as they can stay in power.
