Panama's on track to reach record levels of drug seizures in 2022, having seized a record 125 tons last year.

No clandestine airstrips or landing pads needed here. The U.S. uses any airport it wants as a drug runway to transport carefully weighed and packaged certified pure cocaine. pic.twitter.com/4hw1aaia7R

How to stay on US list of "democracies":

1. All of domestic and foreign policies must serve US interests
2. All binational/foreign relations, trade, cooperation requires OK from Washington
3. Govts must accept power sharing arrangements with US companiespic.twitter.com/5tMcFfrbhI

4. US companies and US-approved companies must be granted special priority access and privileged contracts on natural resources
5. The national government must always co-govern with the US embassy
6. US agencies and entities must be able to operate in country without restriction

7. Certified democracies must devote resources to executing drug seizures, primarily cocaine, and must surrender them to the DEA for export to the United States as part of a large-scale drug trafficking scheme in broad daylight with uncertain legal basis. https://t.co/kcEAXzfvBp
