This all leads to war. You cannot have peace when the US is the enemy of peace.

I mean, this is absolutely stunning. Unimaginable for Canada to be talking about the US like this just 10 years ago. And you barely have to read between the lines to know they're talking about how to handle the global threat the US now is.

Hopefully this ends with this horrid regime and their enablers getting the prison sentences they so deserve.

Might makes right is the new order and the US is going to take what Trump wants by force. Someone in the adminstration said as much the other day.

What have we done?

I was concerned he was going soft in agreeing to Trump’s ridiculous board of peace. It sounds like it wasn’t a real commitment.

He was out of the country in China and Qatar at the time so had not even looked into it.
