Mark Carney puts out bullshit imperialist statement on Iran

[iran]

Mark Carney, prime minister of Canada, has [put out a bullshit statement in support][1] of the US and Israel’s strikes on Iran.

Of course, he completely fails to mention the illegality of the unprovoked strikes. Instead, he spouts bullshit about Iran’s instability and ‘terror’. More like, he’s a racist muppet who disapproves of black and brown people having free will and being able to live their lives away from imperialist control.

## Carney is a liberal through and through

> Canada’s position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world’s worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons.

What he also failed to mention was that Iran was [attending peace talks][4]. Additionally, Netanyahu has been claiming Iran is ‘[days away][5]‘ from nuclear capabilities for over 30 years.

Meanwhile, Israel DOES have nuclear weapons and hasn’t signed up to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Israel is the only one that’s been breaking international law and invading multiple countries, all at the same time.

Plus, Carney’s idea of ‘Iran-related hostilities’ is simply the US and Israel’s bullshit, imperialist aggression against Iran.

## ‘Imperialist running dog’

It seems like only yesterday the Canadian PM told the US to suck it. In fact, it kind of was – he gave a [surprisingly blistering speech in Davos at the end of January][7].

> This guy was just internationally applauded for pointing out the hypocrisy of a “rules based” international order that allowed the powerful to break those rules at will, and here he is engaging in that same exact hypocrisy. [https://t.co/kpTWNmWsGQ][8]

During his speech, he called the old “rules-based” order an illusion.

Then, he made a completely unexpected set of remarks. He [described][10] the idea that Canada’s ties with the US bring “mutual benefit” as a “lie”.

As the *Canary* previously reported:

> Carney’s remarks came as EU nations started to move troops into Greenland for ‘exercises’ that were really preparations to fight a US invasion. But Canada’s military was also doing the same – Trump has frequently expressed his lust to make Canada a 51st US state, according to Canadian Daily the Globe and Mail.

Of course, Carney is only against the US’s imperialism when it isn’t working in his favour.

In one powerful moment, he [noted][11] how:

> there is a strong tendency for countries to go along to get along, to accommodate, to avoid trouble, to hope that compliance will buy safety.

Of course, fighting against the economics of the US’s imperialism only goes so far for a spineless liberal. After all, he was governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England, after spending 13 years at Goldman Sachs.

The rich for the rich, and all that.

Carney has now made it abundantly clear that he was only referring to rich, white nations. Obviously, he only meant Canada and Greenland when he stood up to Trump:

> When Trump had Greenland and white empire in his crosshairs, liberals were lauding this guy as the man to lead a new world order in defiance of US imperialism. Not two months later this depraved fraud can barely contain his glee as US bombs illegally rain down on Iran [https://t.co/xtxI2rrLNZ][12]

## A settler colonial conquest

Of course, the statement is about what you’d expect from another settler colonial nation, which is dripping in its own genocidal history. Its [complicity][16] with Israel’s genocide undoubtedly does a lot of the heavy lifting with that crappy IsRaEL HaS ThE rIGhT tO DEfeND ITseLF bullshit.

Like the UK, the US, and several other European Zionist muppets, Canada has also been supplying arms, cutting funds to UNRWA, and laying cover for Israel. The Canadian government even [grants tax relief][17] to donors funding a notorious Zionist propaganda organisation: NGO Monitor.

But why are we surprised? Carney stood idly by whilst Israel committed genocide for two and a half years, the US kidnapped Venezuela’s president, and he said fuck all about Cuba for weeks. It’s perfectly in tune with his morals that only appear when rich white people might get their feelings hurt.
