    I’m going to call you out on this, he in no way even hinted they Canada would get involved.

    He said by the nature of the conflict he can’t rule it out in future. Which is absolutely an accurate and fair thing to say.

    My suspicion is a person like you would complain if he DID rule it out, saying he wouldn’t protect Canada if we’re attacked or some transparent shit like that.

    Downvoted as likely Maple MAGA and definite word-twisting.

      He called the US our ally twice in his response to the question. On multiple occasions over the last few days he has repeated US and Israeli propaganda about Iran’s nuclear capabilities and ambitions, calling them a “nuclear threat”.

      And instead of doing the thing that any competent politician who is against this war of aggression would do — say “no, we are not getting involved in this conflict and I am not going to entertain wild hypotheticals” — he left the door open for sending Canadians to fight alongside the fascist US who have threatened our annexation.

      Either he’s aligned with Trump’s worldview, or he’s a dangerously naive fool (or both). Either way, he’s clearly unfit to lead this country.

      Edit: typo

      Nobody is twisting any words here. He refuses to condemn an unprovoked war of aggression. He calls the aggressor, which literally threatened to annex Canada, and is running an economic war against us an ally, and he did not rule out direct participation in the said war. The only Maple MAGA here is you, being unable to look at the situation objectively because you simply cannot criticize your own political party.

        “Nobody is twisting any words here”.

        “Evidently, it’s not enough for this utter piece of shit to verbally support war crimes of the burger reich. Motherfucker wants to be a direct participant.”

        If you think I’m going to take you seriously, at all, you’re sorely mistaken.

          Go grab a dictionary and look up what the word participant means. And why would I care if somebody who has reading comprehension of a preschooler takes me seriously?

            I can agitate for fun too!

            Go grab a dictionary and look up what the word direct means. And why would I care if somebody who has reading comprehension of a preschooler thinks I’m wrong?

              Oh, bless your heart. You seem to think direct only applies to pulling a trigger. Let me spell it out for your preschool-level comprehension: providing intelligence, logistics, or even a single bullet is direct participation. It’s not a spectator sport. If you’re fueling the war machine, you’re in the war. Maybe grab a dictionary that includes the concept of “tangible support” before you embarrass yourself further.

      They’re one of the most prolific lemmy.ca posters from the .ml instance. I don’t disagree with all of OP’s takes over all their posts/comments on our instance, but they’re absolutely on the Russia/China simp end of the political spectrum. Like a large portion of the .ml membership.
