[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much influence does Israel have over Canada? I am really surprised how supportive Carney has been given Davos, Canadian retreat from Trump and US tourism, the Gordie Howe bridge, etc. Even those who like him there pulled back after making cracks about annexing Canada, Still, Carney is the liberal leader there.

Is anyone else surprised?[/quote]

Canada, Germany, UK, France have all been equally supportive. They have sizable Persian diaspora populations, so this is probably smart feel-good politics. I suspect there may be a bit of a quid pro quo on Iran and Ukraine. This is going to majorly impede Russia’s abilities to acquire Iranian drones and missiles [/quote]+1 This is my hope[/quote]

Not so fast. Iran is closing the strait of Hormuz, and the problem is that oil prices will skyrocket. If that goes on for too long, Putin's Russia will make a mint off their oil. People don't quite understand that Russia is a one-trick pony and its only resource is oil. It needs the oil money more than it needs weaponry from abroad, since it can make weaponry and indeed, has transformed its economy into a war economy. The war has dragged into a stalemate at the front because Russia is now squeezed by low oil prices. If they go back up... Russia might win the war.

So we do NOT want a long-drawn out conflict in the Middle East. [/quote]

That’s why Israel/America invaded Venezuela to get the oil to avoid this type of situation but apparently that isnt going to plan either and the oil isnt thst good over there [/quote]

Everyone knows, or should know, that Venezuela's oil rigs and infrastructure are so damaged from lack of maintenance that it would take many years to rebuild them and many more years to make any sort of profit. Oil companies said as much when Maduro was captured and Trump invited them back in.

So no. No nation on earth thought Venezuela could be a quick fix to Iran closing the strait of Hormuz. It's a long-term investment, rather, and only for companies with deep pockets and nations willing to wait.
