The United States fell through the glass seen in something similar to Lewis Carroll Sequel “”Alice in a mysterious country。 We are in Wonderland now Red queen demand “The sentence before the ruling” became a land law.
Some examples emphasize why the American world has turned upside down.
Taiwan It is an appropriate case. The parliament has definitely revealed that China is this country Maximum threat And the president Xi Jinping believes that it is serious to prepare the army to grab Taiwan by 2027 and occupy it. Taiwanese law Taiwan must help protect himself. And in a specific situation, the United States may help protect Taiwan with that unit.
Legal and moral discussions are that international attacks on independent nations cannot be tolerated. Taiwan can be classified in this category, as US and NATO allies have supported Ukraine for unprocessed Russian invasions.
However, Congress in Taiwan, which is dominated by the opposition Qumin PartyVoted Freezes defense spendingWe raise deep questions about the island's independence commitment.
Chinese leadership observes Donald Trump correctly I'm looking south now In the north to the Panama Canal and Canada, as a potential acquisition, or in the case of a canal, it will be Greenland as a re -appointment. Aside from the clear hypocrisy between unification to protect Taiwan, if Trump's desire turns into a policy behavior, some interesting problems will be raised. Greenland invasion violates NATO Article 5 An attack on one is an attack on all. Denmark, the country of NATO, remains Greenland's sovereignty.
This is not the first time that a NATO member has attacked another member. Greece and Türkiye I went to the war via Cyprus。 Britain and Iceland are “”Tara WarOn the fish.
However, those who want to seize the property of another NATO member will certainly extend the border between glass. And if Denmark demands protection in Article 5, what will NATO do?
The idea that Canada is likely to be the United States, or its 51st state. Simply raising this proposition must come from the deep glass of glass for its nonsense.
However, it will be collected Panama Canal Since the Carter administration gave up in 1979, it has been supporters. canal An important waterway and chalk point between the two great Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean.
It was built Accommodate US battleship with about 110 -foot beams. But today, the canal can accept boats with a beam of 160 feet (51 meters) or less. In other words, both the Super Tan Car or the US nuclear aircraft carriers do not fit. Therefore, the canal has a limit.
In addition, China has two of the five ports, leasing, Panama Canal Bureau -I own and operate the canal itself, not in China. Also, Drought has decreased The amount of water required to pass the ship is reduced by 24 % per day to 24 % per day. So what would it achieve if Trump regains the canal, except for international crisis and unlimited lawsuits?
So why is Trump discussing the acquisition of Greenland, Panama and Canada? Perhaps Trump has a specific target. He can hide the priority using the other two. Or, he was able to use these three as false information and misunderstands to actually pay attention to the inconvenience. Only Trump knows.
The important thing is that the Trump Pland is an unnecessary ornament. And the only rule is the Red Quees, or in this case, Trump rules.
