America wants control over the world’s four main “chokepoints” for sea trade.
As well as taking control of Panama, the US wants to build the Ben Gurion Canal, an alternative to the Suez Canal, running through Israel close to the Gaza strip.
It also wants control over far northern sea routes, including the “northwest passage” that runs through Canada, and the Russia-China “northeast passage” that runs near Greenland.
most Western journalists remain silent
Most Western “journalists” just sit at their desks rewriting what is sent to them via the AP/Reuters/AFP newswires. If it is not carried by those wires it didn’t happen.
