I'm a bit confused. Why is the article titled "Did Blackrock buy the Panama Canal?" - but the discussion with Michael Yon is about Chinese illegal immigration. There's no answer to the question - or even presentation of information that would lead to an analysis of the issue.
My understanding is there has been a public announcement of the transfer of port management (both in Cristobal and Balboa) from China's Hutchinson to Blackrock. So where is the question? And what are its implications. Use and management of the Canal is important, as is Chinese North-South transit through, or around, Panama. So Panama is involved with both issues, but - other than that - are they related? And, if so, how, exactly?
“We May Dominate the World” Sean Mirski is deep dive on Monroe Doctrine Policy, its use through our USA history by administrations in protecting the continental US, and too many
Unintended consequences in suppressing revolutions, inserting American forces, “controlling” Panama Canal, Central & South American countries.
My take is that Trump asked or approved the sale to Blackrock for a few reasons.
1) it’s not money from the treasury
2) it trades B rock value back for their potential losses as their Chinese holdings are diminished
3) if B rock doesn’t get on the program it is much more possible to punish them or take it away as an American company than as a foreign asset
4) no troops involved
Trump and his advisers (Peter Navaro, etc) are Big Thinkers. This is A Ball from the best minds anywhere
