Carney unterstützt US-Luftangriffe auf den Iran

This is likely motivated more by domestic political concerns, Carney probably wants to curry favor with Canadian citizens of Iranian descent who hate the regime

Disappointed, but not surprised.

The comments here are going to be interesting.

Israel is involved, don’t expect our politicians to speak against it.

The pro-hamas and Hezbollah wing of the Liberal party is going to be wild!

Good. 👏💯

Thank you 🇺🇸and 🇮🇱 for action. Great words by Carney .

If you hate both sides, lean into the one you do a lot of trade with..

This isnt going to change anything.
The people will continue to suffer, and Iran will end up a failed state like Libya. Then the West will walk away.

You don’t have to be loyal to the politicians that are placed in front of you. Carney is no different from the rest of them.

Iran has murdered tens of thousands of its own people over the past few months. My Iranian friends have all been talking about it.

War is bad and I don’t know how this is going to play out. But if the regime topples and legit liberal democracy is allowed to gain foothold here then that would be a net benefit to the people.

Life’s a shit sandwich.

Bombing people costs money and lives.

Still, a government that spends 47 years saying your neighbor is the great satan and must be destroyed so the 12th imam can establish a world caliphate can’t be allowed to build nuclear weapons.

Bombing sucks, but nukes in freight containers detonating in US and European ports will suck worse.

This is going to be a disaster

I am super conflicted on this one. All this to say is I stand with the people of Iran, not their evil regime.

His actual official statement is way more nuanced than what the paywall mentions. It’s about 5 or 6 paragraphs and the vast majority of it are valid statements. Iran is an illiberal, totalitarian regime that promotes terrorism and is an unstable actor in the Middle East. And the less power they have the better it is for Iranians and other Middle East citizens. He also mentioned how innocent human lives need to be preserved and protected.

The nuanced part is where Carney mentions that Canada stands with the U.S to denuclearize Iran and stop them from having nuclear weapons and liberate Iranians from a bad regime. On the surface this is the correct statement. Iran shouldn’t have nukes (I’m of the opinion that Israel shouldn’t have nukes either) and Iranians should be freed from an authoritarian regime. But reading deeper into it, does that mean the Carney supports whatever the U.S is about to do? Buddy up with Israel to attack Iran which will actually lead to a lot of civilian deaths as it always does? He doesn’t directly mention it, but you can make the case that maybe he does.

While I agree with regime change I’ve also seen this movie twice over the last two decades. This will ultimately devolve into a bloody and protracted counter insurgency campaign.

Waiting for all the Carney hate in this sub because he supports Trump and his illegal attack on the sovereignty of the Iranian Regime /s

Not a fan. I would have preferred silence or de-escalation language.

Of course I don’t support a brutal theocratic regime. So, my position isn’t one of just blind anti-Americanism. Iran’s regime is dangerous.

My position is that the United States is destabilizing global peace in a very real way. No nation should be responsible for global stability or should be responsible for the removal of dictatorships.

The intent to control Iran here, is no different than the intent the US uses to control Europe and Canada. It’s all in service of preserving its power.

Iran is a key strategic partner for China and Russia. It’ll be interesting to see how they respond and if they potentially provide support to Iran the same way Europe provides support to Ukraine. There has even been reporting on China providing arms.

I really would have preferred Canada had chosen neutrality.

The “what” isn’t terrible, the “why” is the issue.
