#1 Until now Maduro has refused international aid. Now he is opening the front door to Putin and Erdogan. Putin is arming Venezuela, which is right around the corner from the Panama Canal.

#2 ZOMG, the Panama canal! Gosh, if we only had some incredibly strong navy that would help defend it! Oh wait, we do.

Look it's not 1941 any more. The canal is narrow and frankly out of date. It's not particularly important. Hell, China owns the terminal.

Let Russia throw good money after bad. Socialism is a black hole, it consumes everything thrown at it. I just don't get the pants-on-head hysteria.

#3 "Panamá! Man, the Han's in Habana...
And the Copacabana mañana!"
"Do you Yanks plan to war
For a fancy cigar
Or canal, Anna? Have a banana!"
