U.S. officials familiar with the planning said options for “reclaiming” the vital waterway include close cooperation with Panama’s military and, absent that, possible war.

    The title is wildly over hyping this news. He said to plan multiple strategies, not to gear up for an invasion. Of course the military is gonna plan a war scenario. This is not the frightening headline its made out to be, shock the military plans stupid ways to put boots on the ground, the military LOVES to plan wars. Click baity for sure!

      I have no idea what you’re saying…

      What is not frightening about planning to start a war? Are you saying that you could take the canal without starting a war? What other way of acquiring it are you thinking of? What other strategies exist? I mean, we could offer to buy it, but it’s a cornerstone of their economy, we wouldn’t like the price.

      Click bait, yes, but leave it up to trump to say the quiet part out loud over and over.

      People should be afraid of what’s coming
