I think it would be a good idea to annex Panama. We get a canal that benefits the US economy and the locals get out of poverty. Sounds like a win win.
Should the US annex Panama?

is there any evidence that the locals would get out of poverty?

@Dr.Franklin
most us territories suck
Would certainly make building a wall a lot cheaper if we pushed it south a little...
Nah screw Panama. I personally think we should’ve annexed Mexico back in the 1850s. Would’ve saved us a lot of problems

@Greyparrot
globalization, nah

@Dr.Franklin
Not really, the territories just have low resources and not much human capital.

@TheUnderdog
The U.S. would just fuck up Panamanian lives, just like they fucked up Syrian lives and Iraqi lives. All in the greedy pursuit of natural resources, under the bogus banner of liberation.
And when Panamanians come to the U.S. motherland to seek their fortunes. You will put up a wall and tell them to fuck off.

@Dr.Franklin
If they trade with the Americans. Puerto Rico for instance is under US guidance and they have the highest GDP per capita in Latin America.

We occupied Syria and Iraq. We'd invade Panama, albeit peacefully ideally. We invaded Texas and that did wonders to their economy. We invaded Puerto Rico and that did wonders to their economy. They want to be a state to improve their economy even more.
Panama natives wouldn't get deported if they are part of the US.

@TheUnderdog
and how would that drive the locals out of poverty

@Greyparrot
I suppose

@TheUnderdog
Let's just take back the canal that we built......

@zedvictor4
Lol gated community is where it is at.
-->
@TheUnderdog
I'm not sure how you invade a sovereign territory, peacefully.
-->
@Greyparrot
When is a gated community not a prison?
-->
@zedvictor4
When you are the warden or a guard.
-->
@Greyparrot
Yep, but would the guard be inside or out, when the mob is thronging at the gates.
-->
@zedvictor4
Who cares? Guards have everything they need.
-->
@Greyparrot
An automatic weapon maybe....Preferably inside the secure community/prison.
-->
@zedvictor4
Everything. People who have no security are fucked.
No Greece should have world domination
Greek World Domination is the fairest society by far. Pure democracy elected by the people. If Greece dominated the world, we would form an Utopian Society

@ILikePie5
I'm sure Panama would like to become part of the US; the locals get out of poverty, they become more like Puerto Rico, and they get free movement to the US.

Trade makes people rich.

@bmdrocks21
If we take back just the canal, we tried to take just the canal before, but the locals took it back. We need the whole territory to make sure that we don't lose the canal. The UK only took part of the Irish island and now Ireland wants all of it. If we take just the canal, Panama will want it back.
-->
@zedvictor4
If the locals approve, you've just invaded the area peacefully. I don't see why they would disapprove.
we can always extend the option, but it is Panama's choice alone

@TheUnderdog
Let us see them pry that canal from our cold, dead drones.
