    I totally agree trump fucked the deal. He’s an absolute narcissist. He wants to tear down anything from Democrats. He wants to put his name on everything.

    But at the end of the day, I’m kind of rooting for him here. I’m hoping this all blows over quickly and we’re in a world where Iran’s ability to develop nuclear weapons is crippled

      Iran’s nuclear programme is a grave threat to international security, and Canada has been consistently clear that Iran can never be allowed to develop a nuclear weapon.

      While U.S. military action taken last night was designed to alleviate that threat, the situation in the Middle East remains highly volatile. Stability in the region is a priority.

      Canada calls on parties to return immediately to the negotiating table and reach a diplomatic solution to end this crisis. As G7 leaders agreed in Kananaskis, the resolution of the Iranian crisis should lead to a broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza.

      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.

        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.

                    For sure, but Iran doesn’t have many options do they? I think by blow over, I mean they’ll retaliate in the way these countries do. They will signal their attack loudly and early. USA and Israel will have time to prepare. Iran attacks. America says fuck you and does a return. Iran again does another attack with a huge signal to say look we’re retaliating. Then it’s all back to business as usual. Everybody gets to say they did something and they’re all big bad boys.

                      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’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

                        What’s the alternative? Is that a regime who vocally says they will kill my children are allowed to get nukes?

                        That I should be ok with that because peace and love and hugs?

                            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.

                                    From a friend that has connections there, some Iranians welcomed the assaults because they want their current leader removed. And I’m sure USA would love to install a leader there again.

                                        That’s what I’m hearing of too. I’ll honestly admit if Trump pulled this move and it leads to a regime change. Fuck I’ll give it to him as a ballsy move that worked. I would think at this point if it works, and I were to deny the victory I would be doing it just because I don’t like Trump and I think that’s something I don’t want to do just out of spite.

                                          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.
