2025-01-21

Arrr, ye scallywags o’ the Kremlin be askin' Captain Trump to hoist the Jolly Roger on the Panama Canal deal! They be wantin’ him to swear by Davy Jones’ locker to keep it in the hands o’ Panama, lest ye unleash the kraken o’ confusion! Har har har!

Arrr, mateys! Gather ‘round as I regale ye with the tale of the Panama Canal, where the mighty Russians be callin’ upon the swashbucklin’ President Trump to keep his daggers sheathed and honor an old pact with the good folk of Panama!

Alexander Shchetinin, the Russian sea dog in charge o' Latin America, be hopin’ that Trump remembers the treaties signed back in the year of our Lord, 1977, that kept the Canal in Panamanian hands. Why, those treaties promised neutrality and no more American jackanapes runnin’ the show after the year 2000!

But alas, Trump be bellowin’ from his inaugural ship that Panama be lettin’ China take the wheel, and he wants to “take it back.” He claims the good ol' US of A be gettin’ ripped off and that the deal with Panama be a “big mistake.” Arrr, it seems every pirate has a tale of woe!

Yet, Panama's captain, President Mulino, be settin’ the record straight, claimin’ the Canal be theirs fair and square, with no foreign scallywags meddlin’ in their affairs! So, here we be, a tussle o’ words over a watery trade route that saves ships from sailin’ ’round Cape Horn. Aye, the seas be treacherous, but let’s hope the talkin’ stays civil, lest we draw swords! Yarrr!
