There’s a custom for new year’s celebrations in Panama to build a puppet and burn it around midnight on 31st of December.
Well, the people in Panama didn’t appreciate Trump’s last brainless comment in a string of such, where he mused about taking control of the Panama Canal. I happen to drive by a pair of such puppets today, ready to be burnt…
On first sight maybe amusing. But knowing how Panamanians feel about the canal, this is a clear signal to Trump about what would expect him should he be stupid enough (which he often proved to be) to try to follow through with this idea: All the people of Panama resisting!
Panama has no military. But he would have to fight all the civilians! Men, women, and children! Would his military comply with his orders? Would turn them into war criminals right away… If they would, how would the Europeans react? How would Russia react to a break in Nato? How would the Chinese react?
Many questions, which nobody at this time can answer for sure. But I hope we never have to find out in reality…
Sounds a bit sarcastic, but still: happy new year! Happy new quarter century!
