Ending the war in Ukraine isn’t just about stopping the bloodshed—it’s about preventing a geopolitical disaster that could spiral into something far worse. The longer it drags on, the more entrenched the conflict becomes, draining resources, destabilizing Europe, and pushing the world closer to a broader confrontation between nuclear powers. It’s a war of attrition that benefits no one but arms manufacturers and bureaucrats playing geopolitical chess. Meanwhile, innocent people suffer, economies teeter, and global alliances fracture. The question isn’t whether it’s important to end the war—it’s whether anyone in power actually wants to.

The Panama Canal is a strategic artery of global commerce and a linchpin of U.S. national security. Control over this chokepoint ensures rapid naval mobility between the Atlantic and Pacific, a critical advantage in both peacetime logistics and wartime operations. Since its completion in 1914, the canal has played a decisive role in American military strategy, allowing for quick force projection and supply chain continuity. Its transfer to Panama in 1999 raised concerns over foreign influence, particularly China's expanding footprint in the region. With global tensions rising and supply chains under strain, securing the canal remains a top-tier national security priority for the United States.
