. Foxelman and Red Cedar talk about fascism and official lies. It is curious how "untrue news" is dispersed. For example Panama:
Trump version: "China is taking control of the Panama Canal. We have to invade to protect our investment".
Realities:
1. More than 70% of the Panama canal shipping trade is from US ships. Since owner-ship of the Panama Canal was given to Panama, the Panama Canal authority has carried massive infrastructure upgrades but this is now at capacity limit.
2. Because of climate changing the Panama lakes that supply the water for the lochs are drying. This will limit the amount of future cargo.
3. These canal ships have a width limit and cannot have a depth more than 13.4 metres.
4. This size is smaller, less efficient, and more costly to operate than the new breed of Chinese super sized trans-oceanic container ships.
5. China had realized this and has built 2 massive deep water shipping container ports on each side of Panama.
6. It is planning to build a high freight capacity electrified rail-line connecting both the ports.
7. Panama is thrilled to have this investment, because it will massively boost the economy.
8. This investment will put US transport at a comparative cost disadvantage
9. Trump wants this under US ownership and control, so he has fabricated a story about China controlling the Panama canal and the need to use the military to get "the Panama Canal" back.
10. The dumb public in the US believe Trump and do not see a problem with this.
The old ones of us still remember when the US and Australia had to rescue South Vietnam from those "falling dominoes".
