Yield on everything and do as God Emperor Trump commands, just as Canada does.

The US has helped Iran develop new income sources like bribes for every ship

Similar to the bribes us and Canada take from ships passing through St. Lawrence Seaway

Strange that I don't see many Canadians pointing out Canada supporting US imperialism yet again.

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 weeks ago (7 children)

Canada and the US aren’t just allies, we’re tightly integrated militarily.

It may look like two separate countries on the political stage, but behind the scenes we operate together. When Canadian personnel are already embedded in command structures in the region, it’s not realistic to expect Canada to fully denounce the conflict

Yes, people forget Canada can still diplomatically oppose the war and push for internationally backed de-escalation without condoning the Iranian regime.

While I feel a lot of contempt and opposition to US imperialism, they've pulled the trigger and there's no going back to how things were. Between expanding Iran-backed militias, international sanctions, and the conflicting goals on nuclear weapons, the status quo before the war was also becoming less tenable long term. And now there's the question of how to stop this war without leaving a wounded and even more dangerous regime unchecked.

When we said that the rules based order was not coming back, we meant that we were personally going to bring it down by supporting wars of aggression.

Sanctions are never used righteously, that was just propaganda to get you to swallow them. They have ALWAYS been used to benefit the ruling class and the foreign policy goals of the American Empire.

Is Canada a significant net exporter of oil? If it is then this could make a lot of sense from a domestic perspective in a twist the knife on the global economy for profit kind of way.

[–] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

They export a lot. A huge portion of it comes from tar sand deposits.

[–] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago

Exporter of heavy crude, not the same kind produced around the gulf.
