Will the United States really take the Greenland and Panama Canals?

I’m increasingly sure no one (very few) really pays attention to a vital way of President-elect Donald Trump. For my current discourse, it is more obvious to me about Trump’s interest in obtaining Greenland and regaining the cedented territory around the Panama Canal. Why? Because if people don’t want to read The art of tradingeven once talked to businessmen, they knew about businessmen negotiation Politicians (in the past three generations, it is now deeply rooted) dictation.

I mean politicians never compromise? Of course not, I certainly say it in general, but when politicians compromise on certain bills, it never brings a reciprocal advantage, it’s just that the voters’ pockets of which party are more important than the other side. On the other hand, the merchant can be sure, but can win if he can.

Big question

read The art of trading Revealing the word “big question”. If you are a businessman and have a lot of negotiations, or a lawyer like me, you are already familiar with the idea. You are negotiating at some height and you know the other party will never reasonably agree (but if your negotiating partner is stupid and just accepts it, you will be happy with it anyway), their expectation is that you expect you to resolve this issue where you open negotiations. I’ve been sending demand letters that require far more than my clients and I know we’ll fix it in the end. This is how demand letters work.

However, politicians seem unfamiliar with the idea. They saw “Trump wants Greenland” and enthusiastically imagined the large number of Nicholas bears painted orange polar bears, taking over Nuuk, where they built a new Trump Tower.

Of course, if the Danes and Greenlanders agree to change sovereignty changes, Trump will be happy with that. I. Territorial expansion is one of the few objective measures that indicate that state is dynamic and growth rather than stagnant and dying. The green lines on the economic chart do not change the color of the map candles, and anyone who plays a war game (including young Barron Trump) can tell you. Of course, the taboo against territorial expansion was one of the pillars of the post-World War II international order, but as Senator Marco Rubio recently pointed out, the order was about to die. It was a death spasm, but it has not disappeared, but it has not returned.

It is hard to imagine the Kingdom of Denmark handing over to one of its largest territories. Copenhagen and Washington are more likely to achieve some kind of reconciliation. Trump has suggested many less flashy and dramatic ideas, although they are just as revolutionary to world politics. Things like putting pressure on the EU to fund European military and take care of itself, rather than getting rid of the U.S. defense budget. Things like the foundation of long-term rentals are not just the Toler Air base, but can also cover changing sea lanes and growing space industry. with the people of Greenland (people who share with Native Americans and European heritage), things like the common economic zone with the people of Greenland to bridge the gap between the old and the new world. You know, something Trump does care about, it will enhance American power.

I don’t think Trump is real expect happens in Greenland. He expects negotiations, not surrender. Those who hysterical thought Trump did expect surrender did not honestly interact with Trump, but instead projected fear to a person who was engaged in politics, revealing his tactics, strategies and goals because he fell down that Liberal Party ten years ago.

What about the canal?

Let’s turn our eyes from the northern part of Peking University to the most valuable 51-mile waterway in the Western Hemisphere, the Panama Canal. Although it is not as valuable as the Suez Canal, it is It’s right there. More importantly, America has it in your life or at least in your parents’ lives, and of course it can have it in Trump’s life.

Critics of Senator Strom Thurmond have slammed President Jimmy Carter’s decision to take the canal area away with myopia, stupidity and being driven by non-meta-elements. Since then, this has emerged, and Trump has slammed Carter’s decision for a long time. Given its annual value of over $3 billion, Trump seems to be really upset.

The United States does not need sovereignty to achieve its goals in Greenland, but there are few other ways to determine a safe waterway through the Panama Isthmus. People standing on the bank of the canal may destroy super far-fighting with the weapons of small explosions. In the past few years, this has been especially true in showing what small arms and drones can do to hinder trade across the Red Sea. No, Panama must be physically controlled to have the opportunity to trade in the isthmus.

Globally, territorial acquisitions are back on the table. Russia is currently winning a territorial war in Eastern Europe. We know that Trump did not find the idea of ​​a territorial acquisition shockingly, like bureaucrats and Washington institutions, rebelling unbearable. In the last century, devotees of trustees’ enjoyers of democracy have been holding manual blame for the world. Do this After that! “To get the idea of ​​land, we know there is a real strategic interest in Greenland and the canal area. Benjamin Netanyahu’s arm negotiates on Gaza on the Sabbath.

Trump 2 is different from Trump 1. Maybe it’s time to invest in Greenland and Panama futures.
