Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is complaining about being left out of the loop about the strikes against Iran. Perhaps if he weren’t so busy buddying up to enemies of the United States and the West, this would not be a problem.
“The United States and Israel have acted without engaging the United Nations or consulting allies, including Canada,” Carney said, bemoaning the state of the international order. He also put a condemnation of Iran’s missile strikes against other Gulf countries in the same breath as a demand that the U.S. and Israel abide by international rules of engagement, as if either country belongs in the same conversation as Iran when it comes to human rights abuses or global misconduct.
DONALD TRUMP AND MARK CARNEY: ‘CLASH-MATES’?
Before his complaints about the U.S. and Israel, Carney also said this: “Canada is taking the world as it is, not passively waiting for a world we wish to be. We do, however, take this position with regret, because the current conflict is another example of the failure of the international order. Despite decades of U.N. Security Council resolutions, the tireless work of the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the succession of sanctions and diplomatic frameworks, Iran’s nuclear threat remains.”
Carney has no one to blame but his own naivete.
Why would the U.S. tell you about a strike on Iran when you have deliberately positioned Canada as an ally of China, publicly trashing the U.S. as an ally at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland? How could the U.S. trust you when you went from calling China “the biggest security threat” facing Canada to choosing to “recalibrate” your relationship with China to spite the U.S. in the span of a year?
And why would Israel ever give you advanced notice of such a strike when you have positioned Canada on the side of the genocidal terrorists who wish to wipe Israel off the map? One of Carney’s first acts after becoming the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party was to peddle Palestinian terrorist propaganda about Israel violating international law.
CARNEY’S EMBRACE OF CHINA IS A DISASTER FOR BOTH THE US AND CANADA
Carney’s problem is that he puts too much trust in “international law” and an “international order” that is abused by the world’s worst actors. He even admits that Iran’s nuclear threat remains after “decades” of failures by the international order he so cherishes. Canada puts too much value in made-up rules that hold good actors (such as the U.S. or Israel) to different standards than bad actors (including Iran and its new ally, China).
Mark Carney has weakened Canada’s global standing and isolated it from global power because he is a gullible fool who believes the “international order” is competent and useful, that Palestinian terrorists are poor victims, and that China doesn’t want to undermine the West. The U.S. and Israel were right not to inform Canada about their plans because Carney’s priorities have indicated that Canada could not be trusted with such information, and he only has himself to blame for that.
