🌐 Imagine waking up to find that the Gulf of Mexico is now called the \"Gulf of America\" 🌊, and the Panama Canal 🇵🇦 is under U.S. control! Sounds like a plot straight out of a movie, right? 🎬 But according to a recent global survey by CGTN, this is exactly what the new U.S. administration is proposing, and people are not happy about it! 😠
In a bold move, the U.S. has stated it \"does not rule out the use of military and economic coercion\" for \"territorial expansion.\" 😳 From \"renaming\" the Gulf of Mexico to \"reclaiming\" the Panama Canal, and even eyeing the purchase of Greenland 🧊, the administration's plans have sparked international outrage.
🔥 The survey reveals that a whopping 78.6% of respondents strongly condemn these expansionist agendas, labeling them acts of domineering, bullying, and outright hegemony. \"Hegemony should be pushed back no matter what narrative and rhetoric Uncle Sam uses,\" commented one netizen. 💬
Renaming the Gulf of Mexico without consulting neighboring countries? That's a major no-no! 🚫 According to the poll, 66.4% believe this undermines geographical and cultural traditions and challenges the authority of the United Nations. 🌍
But it doesn't stop there. The idea of taking control of the Panama Canal has 83.7% of respondents viewing it as an aggressive act against Panama's sovereignty and territorial integrity. 🇵🇦💔
Even allies aren't feeling the love. With the proposed purchase of Greenland, 86.4% think the U.S. is harming the interests of its allies and undermining international relationships. 🤝❌
At the heart of it all, 72.3% of those surveyed believe these moves are all about safeguarding American global hegemony. Is this the new normal? Or is it time for the world to stand up and say enough is enough? 👐🌎
One thing's for sure: the global community is watching, and they have a lot to say! 🌐🗣️
