"In November 1906, Theodore Roosevelt became the first sitting U.S. president to make a diplomatic visit outside the continental United States, sailing to Panama to view the construction of the Panama Canal. In September 1977, President Jimmy Carter signed a treaty that would ultimately give Panama full control and operation over the canal in 2000. And in December 2025, U.S. President-elect Donald Trump threatened to retake the canal from Panama. The chances of this happening are slim, of course. But like most political rhetoric, his comments denote larger goals and aspirations – in this case, Trump’s domestic agenda, which likely includes a trade war with China. The U.S.-Panama relationship is merely a hostage to that agenda." Allison Fedirka (Geopolitical Futures)
"Não convém aos reis beber vinho, nem aos governantes as bebidas alcoólicas. Eles bebem, se esquecem da Lei e pervertem o direito. ... Fale pelo mudo e defenda os desfavorecidos. Dê sentenças justas, defenda o pobre e o indigente." Provérbios 31, 4-5; 8-9. "Quando o povo é educado, as diferenças de classe desaparecem." Confúncio (551-479 a.C.), pensador e filósofo chinês.
