I'm just shy of it but considered 'very gifted' whatever that means.
That's a fact. Nobody can match your genus.
Spelling is not a marker of intelligence.
Jesus Christ, dude. The argument was never that China isn’t investing in the region or exerting any sort of influence. The argument was that China is not acting with hostility or coercing Panama, so using the US military to take over influence in the canal wouldn’t be justified.
Okay, but the fact that I kept giving you hints and not picking it up is. lol
It's all good. I'm just giving you a hard time, bro.
I ****post quickly and don't care about spelling.
The human brain knows what to do with certain orientations of letters.
We aren't writing novels here.

"Panama may well be in violation of this treaty," the Texas Republican said after listening to U.S. officials and experts.
The $1.3 billion bridge, being built by a consortium between state-controlled firms China Communications Construction Company (601800.SS), opens new tab and China Harbour Engineering Company, is expected to be completed by 2026 after delays and contract amendments.
Hong Kong-based CK Hutchison Holdings (0001.HK), opens new tab has operated the ports of Balboa and Cristobal for more than two decades. The publicly listed company is not financially tied to the Chinese government, though Hong Kong firms are subject to state oversight.
"The presence of the Chinese government, Chinese companies, and especially Chinese state companies, but not limited to them, does raise serious issues and concerns for the neutrality of the treaty," George Mason University law professor Eugene Kontorovich, a research fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, said at the hearing.

The belt and road initiative is what the CCP does to coerce local leadership to doing their will.

He is literally trying to decouple CCP control of it.

He is currently not enforcing US law to allow them more time to do something they refused to do for years.
Much like with throwing tarrifs on Canada... perhaps making them feel the business pain of losing the US market would hasten their desire to sell.
The American citizens love Tik Tok more than Canadian goods so a different tact is required here.
You can pretend its the same but its not.

Good of Trump to put our national security at risk to make idiot teenagers happy
Odd - You think lumber only comes from Canada?
Fortunately we won't need too much more building when the illegals are shipped out. We have overbuilt already.
Problem solved.

Just 30% of it.
Like I said - Its a good thing we are about to boot out 10M+ people.
Lots of housing about to open up so lumber demand will reduce.
