Defending Israel's right to commit genocide. I wonder if they plan to do genocide in Yemen again.

NATO was also founded by a literal Nazi.

Since when is Israel part of NATO?

I tried to find something but I could not find any attacks on NATO assets. They were just attacking Israeli interests, which are currently committing a genocide in Gaza. Not to mention war crimes.

Worth noting that the USA gave 0 shits when the Saudi's were killing the Yemeni people, for years. Here in Canada we sold the Saudis weapons which they eventually used against Yemen. It was a big deal here. Our conservatives broke the deal and our Liberals delivered on it. Both have blood on their hands.

I'm absolutely disgusted by the behaviour of the Canadian government wrt Yemen, and again wrt Gaza.

I just really don't understand why we're so keen to do whatever our southern overlords ask of us.

We even gave up Bombardier's crown jewel because of US bullshit.

Because we literally depend on the USA for a number of things. In some ways, we are the USA's removed. In some cases that is terrible but in some ways we do benefit. For example: Thanks to the USA's outrageous warmongering due to their desire to keep their hegemony, we get to spend a lot less on our military. That money affords out current political system, socialist programs and social nets. The USA will help defend us because it is in their benefit to do so, both geopolitically and just geographically. We also need them on many economic levels, since they are our biggest trading partner.

Sadly, reality can be very multifaceted. Both for the good and the bad. But the old saying that when the USA sneezes Canada catches a cold, applies here.

Everyone knows that attacking someone that is illegally blocking the transfer of your goods is antisemitic and the Houthis now have the right to defend themselves.

Is America literally Hamas???
