    The Panama canal was a US NIMBY project I’d argue. Give us the canal but without impacting our territory.

      Your comment is actually insane.

      There is no way the US would not have preferred the canal to be in their backyard.

      We didn’t maintain administration of the canal for just over a century for no reason. We would have put that shit in the Rio Grande, if we could have. Unfortunately that river runs dry for several months a year.

      Especially since that particular area of the world is some of the least developed.
