To me, this statement sounds like not condoning America's actions but still walking the line as to not sabotage trade talks. This has been Carney's MO with Trump from the start, appease just enough without bending the knee to get a deal done.
That's what it seems like to me as well.
The last paragraph reads tongue-in-cheek, reminding people that Trump is going against the G7, against America's own policies, and did nothing to alleviate tensions.
He knows if Trump even makes it to the last paragraph, he won't understand it.
What a joke of a prime minister!
Either everyone gets nukes or no one gets nukes. Iran has every right to have them. Fuck I'd rather they have em than the Zionists next door who basically run a death cult.
And Ill wager any "nuke" that ever goes off in North America will end up being an Israeli false flag.
I feel like that would almost guarantee Israel and Iran being turned into glass parking lots.
If your talking the nuke in the US, yea I agree.
I mean Iran having nukes. The least destructive outcome would probably be the one I mentioned. If the US got nuked, I think the world would be over.
And Ill wager any "nuke" that ever goes off in North America will end up being an Israeli false flag.
I'll take that bet; I figure the first nuke to be used in anger on this side of the pond will be during the second American civil war
A few months ago I said maybe Canadians shouldn't put their faith into a globalist neolib banker and got down-voted.
PP came out with even stronger statements backing Israel, so...
The best of 2 bad options, simple as that. There was no win in this election.

So we're still USA's toy dog I see. edit: and/or Israel? I guess we watch their and our actions instead of words to find out soon enough. Abrahamic cults are embarrassing. Three of the majors except Mormons are involved this time.
Why?
Why is Iran's nuclear programme such a grave threat? A grave threat, as opposed to... What exactly?
What makes China, Pakistan, Russia, India, or North Korea less of a threat?
Well, Iran is the largest state sponsor of terrosit groups, arming and financing many in region to attack neighbours. You don't see China arming terrorists in Mongolia or Vietnam to overthrow their governments, for starters. Then there is the bit where their official policy is basically to end the state of Israel. And there's the fact that they have used terror themselves, kidnapping and extorsion to directly confront the west before, kidnap US citizens and fought wars against the western countries and allies. And both their official internal and external policies and policy goals are frankly terrifying.
Nah, China just does oppression and genocide inside their borders. Oh and taking hostages as well.
That's the point. From an international relations standpoint there's no major issue with China where humans rights violations are concerned. Since the don't arm groups outside their borders, there doesn't need to be an international response for that because there's no international threat. The tensions with China are mostly with respect to Taiwan and trade.
So taking hostages isn't an international issue?
Wasn't there a country operating 'police stations' all over Canada? Which country was that?
As opposed to Israel’s actual genocide.
So... They're basically the same as the US and Russia?
To take the other side (not sure I agree):
Iran is unique in that it is run by a government that claims to be Islamic fundamentalists. This could make mutually assured destruction less effective if the ones launching the nukes truly believe that if they die in the retaliation they will go to heaven with their 72 virgins.
I'm not convinced that the Ayatollah is ok dying in the name of killing infidels, but I do see the merits of this argument.
These idiots are building fake outrage and risking world peace to stroke their egos and install authoritarian regimes designed to increase the funneling of wealth from the havenots to the haves. Fuck this war, fuck any wars. Go fight them yourselves.
Its called military keynesianism. Its how the US creates dollars, which are then imported into Europe and the globe.
Places like Europe, Canada, and China maintain a net export with the US, importing USD, which stabilizes their currency. The US imports debt and runs a large deficits in order to supply USD to the world. This is what Trump seemingly wants to milk to drop corporate tax, and thus Europe now has to build up their military, in order for their economic system to continue to function without USD.
That Varoufakis speech was excellent. Thanks so much for sharing!
Elbows up! /s
what fucking idiots. the neighbor to the south has a documented history of using nukes and using them against civilians.
You had better channel your inner Chretien and keep us the fuck out of this, Carney.
Forget about it he's all in already.
Shut up carney
