As for Panama, I am pretty sure that China has been negotiating with Nicaragua for the construction of a new and bigger canal farther north - maybe Ben Norton, Carl Zha or Danny Haiphong may have talked about this. I dont remember, but it certainly would make sense. Back in the late 1800s, when the French had abandoned their canal project in Panama, there ensued in the US congress a debate to determine whether Nicaragua could be a preferable candidate, but the many volcanoes there in the end settled the issue in favour of Panama.
I am Danish, and I can assure you that there is absolutely no political support for a US takeover, in either the mainland or in Greenland. Furthermore, GRL enjoys extensive autonomy, including the full ownership of their natural resources. Also, GRL, unlike continental DK, is not a member of the EU, so it is difficult to imagine how Brussels could possibly exert any influence over such matters. I have no doubt that the fifty thousand Greenlanders would rather prefer to kick out existing US military installations present there since WW 2, rather than intensifying current relationships. The US has a record of violating the Danish prohibition against the presence of nuclear weaponry within its territory. In the late 60s, a military plane crashed at the Thule airbase, causing much nuclear pollution and death to people and disruption of the environment. However, since the beginning of the SMO, Russo-phobia has been rampant across DK, and support for NATO has never been stronger - so this problem concerns me more now than during Trumps first term. By the way. comedian Conan O Brien paid a visit to GRL after Trumps previous offers - worth a watch on TH-cam.
My Christmas Wish, 2024: May the Leaders of the World (Mainly from China, Russia, America then All the others) come together and work towards Peace and Prosperity for the citizens of the World. How Wonderful it would be to have the "Silk Road" through the World for trade and Countries could spend monies on improving the lives of their citizens (health care, education, housing, food, parks & museums, etc.) instead of WAR. It CAN happen if humans DO have concern about Human Rights 🙂. Always good to hear yours and your guest's perspectives on World events. You are Great! Merry Christmas to You & your listeners!!!
Yes, pay the employees enough for them to be able to buy your products. China & Russia go around the World soliciting customers for a win win partnership offering Peace & Prosperity. America & Western Europe offer Death & Destruction to Countries that don't allow them to steal their resources. Hmmm which offers to choose from?
George, I can’t tell you how hard to shelter out of the sun in Melbourne Australia. I’m painting my neighbour’s windows and have to finish painting by 10-30 in the morning. Even the sun cream doesn’t protect me after that time.
I want to remind you both that both Russia and the USA have forms of incarceration that can lead one to say the Death penalty is more human. When I look at prisons like the black dolphin in Russia or Florence Colorado in America I would prefer the Death penalty
Both of you are utterly clueless about law and crime works in the US. It was honestly pitiful to watch. I expected better. It lowers my opinion of this program. Maybe do some research before flapping gums. And yes buddy, there are lots of people serving even life sentences in the US for nothing more than simple drug possession. No, they didn't rob a bank with drugs in their pocket, what an absurd thing to say. And no they don't plea down. They throw on any additional charges they can come up with, THEN plea down. Only after they hit you with 100 extra charges. You can thank mandatory minimum laws and the war on drugs.
These guys are sardonically , classically sarcastic. Thanks for being in this world.
That's exactly why I watch them
@@brendangannon9286Same here, including the fact that they appear to have a moral compass.
Great discussion, thanks.

China works on the long game. If you help your neighbors and trade partners develop they will be richer. And buy more of your products over the years.

We have to live with Americans as they are ...

... how about Greenland people anybody ask them ?
I'm sure not and the people will not be asked!
Trust me to think 3:00 o'clock is EST. Won't happen next time.! Great show, love the facts, historical references and the banter most of all.

If Trump does go to takeover those areas (Greenland and Panama). You will see the US restricted in the world confined to North America.
1:15:45 If you want to annoy a Turk call him 'Arabic'.
Any chance you could put some hint of the subject matter in the title. It would be very appreciated.
I think the 2 of them simply start talking about the events & there it goes from there🙂
Peter's sanctimony is torturous.
Don't watch then - its him.
I'm sure George has heard the persistance of
"Chinese Water Torture"🤣

Is George ignorant on purpose about China? Does he not know that China just opened up Chancay megaport in Peru
Broken windows....people defecate outside because theyre dying on the streets outside....be a bit more honest gentlemen.

The eve before the eve. Or in one Canadian province, an entire excuse for the whole province to get loaded.
