President Donald Trump has incorrectly claimed China controls the canal (Panama controls it, although China owns ports on both sides of the crucial maritime passage). Trump has threatened to have the United States once again take control of the canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.

What in the r-slurred journoslop does this mean? If you control both ports at either end of this canal, do you not control the canal?

>China can bar anyone from entering or leaving the canal, but they can't open or close the sections within the canal, so they actually don't control it. :marseyindignant:

Chinks cant stop you from entering the canal (and probably not even from anchoring at the ports, just make it inconvenient I imagine). At most they can keep you from anchoring at the harbor.

Its like owning a house on both sides of the road doesnt mean i can stop anyone from driving on the street.

i can stop anyone from driving on the street

If I were to emplace anti-ship missiles and air defense in my backyards on both ends of the street, I could sure try

Obviously China couldn't keep it closed in the long term, but they could make themselves a b-word to dig out

And owning those ports helps that... how?

Its not a naval base, and if youre gonna counter "well they could hiiide the AShM" im gonna call you an r-slur since they can do that just as well in any port they dont own.

chine couldn't legally prevent american ships from passing through the canal. only physically. which is the only thing that matters in most scenarios in which china might wish to prevent american ships from passing through.

And how does owning the port change anything about it?

Better question, do you know what "owning a port" actually means?

by this account Denmark and Sweden should continue duking it out for control of the valuable Øresund.... have you magatards literally not progressed for a 17th century view of seafaring ? "MUH CHINKS GOT EM BALL CANNONS ON BOTHS SIDES"

Cuz it didn't turn the frogs gay it turned them trans - excessive chemicals spills from factories and industrial waste had actual real world consequences for many swamps/wetlands and other habitats, with frogs specifically suffering a devastating consequence to their populations

Thus fricking up the foodchains and ecosystems. Many frog and reptile species when they are born, have their s*x determined depending upon the temperature and humidity, a too great concentration upon one s*x can obviously frick with the population pyramid of the subsequent generations

https://wildlife.org/frogs-change-s*x-even-in-natural-settings/

Some frog species during their middleage, instead of just at birth can also change s*x - this can be as a response to harsh conditions, to salvage a devastated population, or as response to chemicals

The industrial waste for many factories fricked with the natural amount of chemical balance of rivers and lakes, influencing the hormones of many critical frog species, so that all of them at once turn into females within one breeding season, with like zero males, basically dooming that local population of that lake, as there was almost no subsequent fricking generation = result in ecological disaster, explosion of pests like flies and mosquitos

This was what Alex Jones was talking about, industrial waste and little regulation, but his terminal r-sluration was like the greatest pro-industrial corporitists propaganda, because like zero Americans took this nationwide series ecological disasters seriously

I mean it's not like he didn't elaborate and explain that it's changing their s*x, he did. It's just that one clip that everyone heard that sounds ridiculous, altho essentially is true (trans is gay after all)
