As I write this late Saturday morning, news is still coming in about the joint U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The targets reportedly included senior regime figures and missile infrastructure. Iran has responded. World leaders are trading statements. The situation feels fluid and dangerous.
Prime Minister Mark Carney has reacted in a way that is far different than how former prime minister Justin Trudeau likely would have responded. Carney reaffirmed that Iran must never obtain a nuclear weapon, reiterated Canada’s support for Israel’s right to defend itself, and backed U.S. action aimed at preventing further regional destabilization. At the same time, he urged protection for civilians and emphasized the need for stability.
I think annexation of the willing is looking better and better. I don’t want to share air with Mullah Regime supporters.
