“What we’re hearing right now, at a time when it really matters, is … that we’re giving in,” Neve said. “We’re not prepared to be that bold leader in that ‘middle power’ space. Instead, we are capitulating to the ‘might is right’ world that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are intent on forging.”

    I’m not making excuses. I said he’s not a politician and he doesn’t talk like one. He’s actually honest and doesn’t deliver platitudes. That’s refreshing. But as I said, it does him no favours.

    So, I absolutely think he’s up for the job, even if he is far from my first choice.

    And to be clear, I don’t support a lot of what he has said or done, but I also support a lot. Even with the things I disagree with, I’m not sure what he could do differently. Our current reality is we are bordering with a country run by a pudding brained psychopath that has flat out declared his desire to conquer us. Taking the preferred path will not always net us what we need, which currently is a defence against an aggressive and evil megalomaniac who has a stated goal of forcing our entire side of the world into being their vassals.

    Out of all of the leaders in the last election, we got the one best suited to slay the current dragon.

      Honest? Carney has been actively pushing US & Israeli propaganda by lying about Iran’s supposed nuclear weapons aims/capabilities. Even the CIA agrees that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons!

      Carney isn’t ‘playing defence against the US’ here; he’s outright pushing the exact falsehoods that were the pretext for this unprovoked attack by a fascist state that he is still calling our “ally”.
