Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has unveiled plans for a 445-kilometre interoceanic waterway that would provide an alternative to the congested Panama Canal, presenting the proposal to Chinese investors at a regional business summit.

Ortega? He sounds like he should be in jail!

uh it's more like the past 80 years of US foreign policy were like, "Hey you can rip off our citizens and bleed our nation dry if you don't become communist"

then the entire world realized that they can do whatever they want as long as they don't overtly use the word communist and we'll just keep giving them more and more and more money

can't blame people for taking advantage of whatever they can, but that shit is over so the rest of the world can F off.

we all lived under a fake era of fake peace and fake cooperation which never needed to exist now we just have to take some hits and rebuild our industrial base while the rest of the world fights to death over peanuts.

The Bretton Woods system was never a realistic or workable idea and what we're all seeing now is the consequence of 50 years of plugging our ears and screaming LA LA LA instead of trying to fix the problem.

We're gonna have to pump our own oil, cut our own trees and stamp our own pills, creating millions of jobs but also driving up our own prices but that doesn't matter because our money isn't real and when we need more we just tell the bank we're not broke and they say oh ok I guess you're not broke.

Or we're all gonna be dumb enough to not understand that relying on your neighbors for everything that your life requires only ends up making you the neighborhood cuck and burn down our own country because we'd rather see other guys bang our wives.

I thought Bretton Woods ended when we got off of the gold standard?
