Lol, finance (and thus financial reporting) is so braindead.
I’ll summarize the whole article: Why did RDDT crash? “Because the stock price went down. Some people sold the stock, so more people sold it, now the price is lower”
Thanks Yahoo finance, this is the journalism we rely on you for…
Yeah, I believe you. This was relatively predictable from him.
Sigh… Worst timeline.
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 do you think exist? When you ask the military to come up with multiple strategies to accomplish something, you’re really asking them “would we have to put troops on the ground, or could we do this with a bombing campaign? What about the threat of violence and an illegal embargo?”. But if you employ the military in any strategy they come up with, you’re starting a war.
I mean, I guess we could offer to buy it, but it’s a cornerstone of their economy, we wouldn’t like the price. And Trump doesn’t go in for “bad deals” (paying for things).
But to reiterate,
So what’s your plan?
You say “they have to act now” but what actions need to be taken?
Are you saying mass protest? Armed rebellion? What are you suggesting?
Oh, we haven’t been in any wars in the last 70 years. There were some “police actions” and we’ve deployed “peacekeeping” forces…
Right?
Seriously though, we need to do away with the “Authorization for Use of Military Force”. If Congress doesn’t have the consensus to declare war, then we shouldn’t be fighting.
Well, while it is possible that the military does provide a nonviolent strategy along with their other ideas, do know that Trump will reject that out of hand. As I mentioned earlier, he’s not interested in “bad deals”, and any deal like this would have to at least be not terrible for Panama, and anything that doesn’t cripple Panama will be “a bad deal”.
That leaves Trump with only military force, I’m afraid he has no choice, his hands are tied… 🙄
