By 1945, Germany’s air force was a shadow of its former self,the Panzer forces were either burning, broken down, or otherwise pinned by allied air forcesthe infantry groups were shattered, broken, poorly supplied, poor experience, except for the few remaining crack troopsThere is literally a 0 percent success chance at 1945. The country would tear itself apart even if no one advanced any further than they already had.Had it been 1939, I’d have told Hitler to not be so eager for war - build and improve his armed forces.Don’t pour money and resources into the Bismark and Tirpitz, support Donitz and his unrestricted submarine warfare, get Elektroboots type XXIs in the water to replace the slower early u-boats. Don’t engage in surface warfare (suggested by Szander Zoellner)Scrap the panzer II and Is, I’d recommend long barreled Panzer IIIs for the push into France.Issue the panzerfaust and panzershreck to infantry units ASAP.Secure oil supplies without bloodshed before hand.IF he was the usual trigger-happy b*****d, I’d advise him to first follow through with the Ardennes offensive, and then push to the English Channel. Coordinate armed forces so that the infantry do not fall behind the panzers. (This can be fixed by mechanizing the infantry (or at least the force involved) completely prior to the offensive). Deploy 88mms in the AT role in the front-lines. Crush the allied counterattack at Arras, cripple the last stand. And then hold the line. Don’t oppress the people of France. Support them, the last thing you need is a group of resistance fighters strong in number and will, waging a war.Then, for the battle of Britain, initiate the offensive by a surprise aerial attack on air bases, leave the cities untouched until every base and potential base site is cratered.As this is underway, send some to bomb the industrial centers, cripple the UK’s ability to wage a war. They might not be willing to surrender, but you can sure as hell make sure they can’t fightDevelop technologies which are affordable and effective - don’t rely on the V2 for anything but propaganda reasons and for tactical strikes - not to simply bomb whatever you feel like. Work instead on effective radar, and share this technology with Japan to help him in the pacific. Develop night-fighters with accurate radar to tear apart any night time raids by the Allies.Introduce a new fighter-pilot program similar to the Allies one - rotate experienced pilots off the front to train new pilots instead of having aces rack up kills and rookies going down in flames. Loss of pilots and planes was what doomed Japan early in the war, despite their planes and experience being superior in almost every way possible. If you can’t afford to replace the planes as fast as you lose them, then you try as hard as you can to keep those planes and pilots working and alive.Once the Me262s start coming around, forget the fighter-bomber variant, and get fighter variants in the air as soon as possible.In the East, time the offensive so that it doesn’t run into the Winter, and push the panzer armies straight into the heart of Moscow. Don’t invest in the Maus or Tiger series. Develop a simplified Panther tank that uses road wheels similar to the Panzer IV - don’t use the overlapping layout as that is just over complex.Convert all panzer IIIs into their Stug forms. They’re cheap and effective for such a design.In Africa, give Rommel less control, don’t let him push so far ahead into Africa and over-extend his supply lines. Always ensure his supply lines are secure before continuing his advance. And DO NOT ask him to kill himself. Just…don’t.In the end Rommel was an excellent man for small scale actions, the man who wins battles, but he doesn’t win a war, in that sense.Don’t invest into wunderwaffe wet dreams, focus on more practical things (Hitler once asked if he could make a giant mirror in space to burn the UK and US)and most importantly give control of the military to your military commandersDon't go into Ukraine and Belarus exterminating the people that have suffered greatly under Stalin.Don't exterminate any civilians at all.Treat Russian POW fairly and let them fight for you. (Added by Leandro Rolim)Germany has a very bad chance at genuinely winning the war, but might be able to extend the war enough that an agreement can be reached.

Lets start at the beginning. The main reason Panama exists as a free country is that the US wanted to have its canal.(Panama Canal Locks)In 1903, the Hay-Herrán Treaty was signed with Colombia, granting the United States use of the Isthmus of Panama in exchange for financial compensation. The U.S. Senate ratified the treaty, but the Colombian Senate, fearing a loss of sovereignty, refused.So, with the backing of President Roosevelt and the U.S. government, Panama issued a declaration of independence from Colombia on November 3, 1903. On November 6, the United States recognized the Republic of Panama, and on November 18 the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty was signed with Panama, granting the United States exclusive and permanent possession of the Panama Canal Zone. In exchange, Panama received $10 million and an annuity of $250,000 beginning nine years later.The Panama Canal Zone was a 10 mile wide strip of land (5 miles on each side of the Panama Canal construction site that excluded Panama City and Colon City). So as of November 18, both the Panama Canal Zone and the Panama Canal construction site were properties of the United States of America (the Panama Canal opened to traffic on August 15, 1914, so the canal itself was owned by the US since this date).(The Panama Canal Zone)From Wikipedia:Panamanian efforts to renegotiate the original Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty had been ongoing almost since it was first signed in November 1903, a few weeks after Panama obtained its independence from Colombia. However, activity to renegotiate or abrogate the treaty increased considerably after the Suez Crisis, and events in 1964 precipitated a complete breakdown in relations between the U.S. and Panama. On January 9 of that year, Panamanian students entered the canal zone to fly the Panamanian flag next to the American flag, as per a 1963 agreement to defuse tension between the two countries. Panamanians watching the event began rioting after the students raising the Panamanian flag were jeered and harassed by American school officials, students, and their parents. During the scuffle, somehow the Panamanian flag was torn. Widespread rioting ensued, during which over 20 Panamanians were killed and about 500 were injured. Most of the casualties were caused by fire from U.S. troops, who had been called in to protect Canal Zone property, including private residences of Canal Zone employees.After long negotiations, on September 7, 1977, the Torrijos–Carter Treaties (two treaties signed by the United States and Panama) which abrogated the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty of 1903 were signed in Washington, D.C. The treaties guaranteed that Panama would gain control of the Panama Canal after 1999, ending the control of the canal that the U.S. had exercised since 1903.(Signing of the Torrijos-Carter Treaties)From Wikipedia:The treaty laid out a timetable for the transfer of the canal, leading to a complete handover of all lands and buildings in the canal area to Panama. The most immediate consequence of this treaty was that the Canal Zone, as an entity, ceased to exist on October 1, 1979. The final phase of the treaty was completed on December 31, 1999. On this date, the United States relinquished control of the Panama Canal and all areas in what had been the Panama Canal Zone.On the day the treaty took effect, most of the land within the former Canal Zone transferred to Panama. However, the treaty set aside many Canal Zone areas and facilities for transfer during the following 20 years. The treaty specifically categorized areas and facilities by name as “Military Areas of Coordination”, "Defense Sites" and "Areas Subject to Separate Bilateral Agreement". These were to be transferred by the U.S. to Panama during certain time windows or simply by the end of the 243-month treaty period.In addition, the treaty designated numerous areas and individual facilities as "Canal Operating Areas" for joint U.S.-Panama ongoing operations by a commission. On the effective date of the treaty, many of these, including Madden Dam, became newly surrounded by the territory of Panama. Just after noon local time on 31 December 1999, all former Canal Zone parcels of all types had come under the exclusive jurisdiction of Panama.So, the short answer to your question is this: from August 15, 1914 to noon local time on 31 December 1999 the canal was owned by the United States. After said time, the canal is owned by Panama.Since then, the Autoridad del Canal de Panamá (ACP) (Panama Canal Authority) is the financially autonomous agency of the government of Panama that has exclusive responsibility for the operation, administration, management, preservation, maintenance, and modernization of the Panama Canal. It is responsible for the operation of the canal in a safe, continuous, efficient, and profitable manner.(Panama Canal Administration Building, home of the Autoridad del Canal de Panama)Since its transfer, the Panama Canal has been efficiently operated, maintained, and is in the far end of expanding it to make it even more efficient (in terms of water usage) and capable (in terms of size of ships that will be able to cross it). Here are some pictures of the project:Oh, and by the way, the Panama Canal is defined by law to be an inalienable patrimony of the Republic of Panama. Therefore, it may not be sold, assigned, mortgaged, or otherwise encumbered or transferred. So from here on out, it's going to remain the property of the Republic of Panama.EDIT: For those saying that the answer is not true because China owns the ports on either end of the Canal, I recommend you read my other answers. In short, China operates (not owns) 2 (Balboa and Cristobal) of the 5 major ports in the Canal area. The biggest port (MIT) is operated by a US company, and the other two have Taiwanese and Singaporean companies running them.

Groypers are a strange sort of second coming of the Alt-Right movement.For some history, from around 2013 to 2017, the Alt-Right saw massive growth from what it started out as a website by the same name, founded by the now infamous white nationalist, Richard Spencer. That website was dedicated to a kind of paleoconservative/white nationalist ideology (not that those two systems are synonymous.) Beginning around 2013, they began growing to a point that Spencer lost control of the name. People unfamiliar with what the Alt-Right was (meaning almost everyone) assumed it simply meant a new ideology that was strictly against left leaning progressive activism’s overreach, but which also sought to distance itself from “normie” conservatism and the establishment GOP, as well. They recruited heavily from groups targeted by progressives, such as men’s rights groups, civic nationalists, those arguing for greater free speech rights, and of course, white nationalists. Anyone who didn’t have a voice in mainstream conversations and felt that they would receive retribution for voicing their beliefs were forced underground… with everyone else. This “everyone else” tried to recruit those susceptible into Alt-Right extremism.Through mostly memes and “ironic” neo-nazi postings on various anonymous internet chat boards, they brought more awareness and grew. Why did they tolerate the neo-nazis? When you’ve been marginalized and feel silenced, it feels necessary not to marginalize anyone else even if you view their views abhorrent. So they continued.By 2015–16, the Alt-Right began to be normalized, as more and more people angered by progressive censorship and bullying tactics from university campuses to corporate HR departments latched on these “edgy memers” fighting back. By all accounts, most viewed the Nazi rhetoric as ironic and assumed it was just a joke, and that the true white supremacists were just an annoying small percentage of the growing movement. The vast majority were not aware that the Alt-Right actually came from a legit white supremacist in 2010.Then in the summer of 2017, at the Unite the Right rally, the Alt-Right was on full display, and the many, many people who came to the movement under innocent pretenses, quickly disavowed the Alt-Right. This included everyone from Patriot groups to hardened bikers, and the ideology was also publicly disavowed by the President of the United States. At that point, the Alt-Right collapsed.What was left, however, was a core of people brought in from all over this new right-ish movement. They remained in the underground of the internet, trying to reorganize.It seems that the “groypers” are what came out of that. From the outset, it appears that these were those who fell into the Alt-Right hardcore and became radicalized. Some of their arguments aren’t as extreme as those pushed by the hardcore Alt-Right a few years ago, but seem to have borrowed from also “Alt-Lite” figures like Milo Yiannopoulos to create something between the two. Yet also, in an interview between the leader of the groypers, Nick Fuentes and the Alt-Right’s founder Richard Spencer, the two voiced completely agreement on their views about white racial identity advocacy and white nationalism. Their only point of disagreement seems to be on matters of the methods involved to realize their goals. Regardless, they are very well networked, have come up with new tactics and mastered the old, with aims to grow.It’s unclear how ingrained in Alt-Right ideology they are (I’m currently writing a book on the Alt-Right — Righting the Alt-Right — and I can promise you that their beliefs are much more complex than most people think. I didn’t say, “good”, just more complex. On the surface, these groypers say they aren’t Alt-Right, or at least reject the labeling of themselves as Alt-Right 2 by Ben Shapiro.From what I’ve found, they seem to push three key points.First is a deep conviction towards “Demographic Realism”, which seems to be a thinly veiled evolution of white supremacy aimed at keeping current demographics the same; the same percentage of whites, the same percentage of blacks, the same percentage of whatever. This appears to be built around the notion of white genocide believed by many Alt-Righters. That said, they are radically anti-immigration. In this, they are also wildly open with anti-semitic and other racist rhetoric.Next, they oppose “dual loyalties” which means that they support an extremely isolationist foreign policy, namely in regard to cutting ties specifically with Israel. It’s also unclear to what extent holocaust denial is present in this group, as it seems to suggested in some of what I saw, but disavowed by others.Third, they also promote very stringent paleoconservative social views, namely in that they are ardently against transgender normalization, homosexuality, and feminism in virtually all forms.The third seems to be attempting to tie themselves to Christianity. While Christians do still push for an acknowledgement that marriage between those seeking children is to be treated, or at least thought of, as something different than gay marriage at the state level for the sake of the children, the level of hate speech directed towards the gay community by these groypers is not in keeping with any mainstream Christian advocacy groups or denominations. Likewise, many Christians groups don’t honestly bother with transgender, but are very actively fighting against surgical procedures to transition children. They are also deeply critical of feminism, not just the modern third wave intersectionality feminism of today, but perhaps even going back to criticisms of first wave feminism, skipping women in the workplace all the way back to when women fought for the right to vote. That being the case, it seems that these “groypers” are trying to recruit the more isolated and extremists of various Christian groups such as the infamous Westboro Baptist Church and their famous “God Hates F***” signs.At this point, I’ll say that while doing my research, it was clearly said that, “You can’t be a Christian if you support this stuff”. As a Christian (my history is well documented on this site) this is a false dilemma. There is a huge window between where the culture is today and what these groypers are advocating. I’ve yet to see the majority of mainstream Christian social conservatives come anywhere near what the groyper’s say a Christian must believe. So, just pointing out, no, it’s not an either/or case where you have to give up your faith just to distance yourself from groypers.I will say that this last point is at least an interesting evolution, as it is a clear break from the Alt-Right. The Alt-Right was a mostly atheistic movement, viewing Christianity as “an important tradition of Western Culture” without actually believing in the faith or attending any sort of religious services. How sincere the piety of groyper’s is is also up for debate, as yet they say they’re Christian, but can more readily quote from Nietzsche than the Book of John, and namely the parts which seemed to marry well with the Nazis. An example, they also argue against pornography, which… okay, I’ll give them that one. I do too, but whether this is a Christian thing or as a form of “degeneracy”, which was a series of beliefs of the Alt-Right, resurrecting traditionalist Nazi ideals of the perfect man has yet to be seen. All that said, maybe they aren’t so different from the Alt-Right, after all.That is what is easily known about groypers, at the moment.If you’ve heard of them recently, that’s probably due to a major outreach campaign by the groypers where they’ve specifically targeted mainstream conservatives, trying to create wedge issues between more social conservatives and those of the New Right. This includes targeting events by mainstream popular conservatives such as Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, and Charlie Kirk, Matt Walsh, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, and even Donald Trump Jr. In well coordinated attacks, they attend these events en mass, will boo speakers, then troll the Q&A with pre-planned questions that serve as much as advertising as attempts to get real answers. This whole campaign been dubbed “the Groyper War”, which I’ll be talking about in another answer: What is the Groyper War?Relaxed. Researched. Respectful. - War Elephant
