Given our commitment to standing up for middle powers, it does make sense that we'd get involved in the war on the side of Iran/Lebanon.

There's absolutely zero fucking chance Canada gets involved on the side of Iran. Even without the fallout from the US, the Canadian public would be justifiably livid.

Better than being on the US side.

You might be suicidal, but the vast majority of the country isn't. And even if the US wouldn't just curb stomp us, I (and a lot of other Canadians ) would be furious with our government supporting any theocratic government. And yes, I do include the current Israeli government in that statement.

I wasn't the Canadian leader who said we need to unite middle powers to fight super powers when they get picked on.

"No room for context or nuance allowed right! If the rule isn't applied the exact same way even for oppressive regimes might as well not help anyone!" - you I guess

We're not helping our ally Cuba either.

We've had 80 years of diplomatic relations, but i wouldn't call Cuba an ally. We've never had any formal military ties.

Common enemy in the US for those 80 years
