US Troops Train For Jungle Warfare In Panama, First Time In Decades
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
The US War Department has begun sending conventional ground forces to Panama for training in jungle warfare for the first time in more than two decades, ABC News reported on Monday.
News of the training in Panama comes amid a major US military buildup in the Caribbean and a push toward a potential war with Venezuela, a country with vast jungles. A US military official told ABC that the training in Panama is not intended to prepare troops for a potential mission in Venezuela, but President Trump has reportedly been reviewing options for attacking the country.
While the US hasn't sent enough forces to the Caribbean for a full-scale invasion of Venezuela, US military planners reportedly do believe it has a sufficient force to seize strategic ports and airfields in Venezuela.

China Envisions 'Dry Canal' To Compete With Panama Canal
Authored by James Gorrie via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
In response to the Trump administration's new U.S. policy of reasserting control over the Panama Canal, China and Brazil are exploring the possibility of building a transcontinental railway to provide an advantageous alternative to the Panama Canal. The proposed rail system would potentially run from Brazil's Atlantic coast, perhaps Ilhéus, Bahia, to Peru's Pacific coast at Chancay.

The project, known as the Central Bi-Oceanic Railway Corridor (CRBC), has been in consideration since at least 2017. Other proposed projects of a similar nature and objectives have been considered since at least 2013. There are other terms applied to the transoceanic railway project, but essentially, th...

Ist Chinas Belt and Road Initiative ein Trojanisches Pferd? (Goldseiten)

Während sich Washington mehr auf Terrorismusbekämpfung und kurzfristige Hilfsprogramme in Lateinamerika und der Karibik konzentriert hat, hat China langfristig gedacht und Häfen, Eisenbahnen und Stromnetze finanziert. Dies hat wiederum dazu beigetragen, Goodwill zu schaffen und die Beziehungen zu dieser Region für Jahrzehnte und vielleicht sogar Generationen zu prägen. --- Der Handel ist nur ein Teil der Geschichte. China baut auch seine militärische und sicherheitspolitische Präsenz in der Region aus. China betreibt oder verwaltet derzeit mindestens acht Bodenstationen in Lateinamerika.. --- Im Rahmen der von Xi im Jahr 2022 vorgeschlagenen Global Security Initiative (GSI) hat Peking seinen Schwerpunkt auf die innere Sicherheit verlagert und liefert taktische Ausrüstung und Gesichtserkennungssysteme an Polizeikräfte von Panama bis Ecuador.. --- Gleichzeitig verzeichnete die PBOC den elften Monat in Folge Goldkäufe und setzte damit ihre Bemühungen fort, die Wirtschaft von der Dollarabhängigkeit zu befreien..

'We Have Many Options': US Warships Pass Through Panama Canal Toward Southern Caribbean
U.S. warships were seen entering the Panama Canal while navigating east toward the Atlantic, according to photos taken on Aug. 30.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Aug. 19 that President Donald Trump was “prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into [the United States] and to bring those responsible to justice.”
“Many Caribbean nations and many nations in the region have applauded the administration's counterdrug operations and efforts,” Leavitt added.
As Jacob Burg reports below, the previous day, a White House official told The Epoch Times that U.S. naval and air assets would deploy to the southern Caribbean Sea amid a heightened counternarcotics effort.
That deployment puts U.S. warships a short distance off Venezuela's northern coastline, following years of strained relations between the United States and Venezuela.
In 2017, Trump told ...
