it's been my own personal experience over the last several years that the rule of law has completely collapsed in canada, and we no longer have real laws, we just have tyrants in robes enforcing christian values on a baffled secular society that is increasingly rejecting the court system as irrelevant, because it won't follow it's own rules, but wants to run the society out of the back of a bronze age mythological text. i can see something similar happening in the united states. i suppose i shouldn't be surprised to see the same collapse in the rule of law occurring in europe, even as rates of atheism and rejection of faith are higher than they've ever been.

everything the europeans have said for weeks is the complete opposite of actual international law, even when they try to claim they're citing it.

actual international law should give iran a multibillion dollar bill to pay and get out of israel's way as it wipes out the group attacking it, but that's not what anybody is enforcing, at all. bigoted right-wing governments are trying to enforce international religion, not international law.

if iran refuses to pay for the damages it created, as it no doubt will, it's assets should be seized and redistributed.

...or, at least, that's how you do this if you actually want to enforce actual laws, rather than just make up laws that don't exist, and imagine how they should be applied, based on some stupid christian moral bullshit.

there is an international body that exists to oversea the law of the sea. countries being denied transit should be suing iran in court for damages. if actual international law is actually applied, the iranians should be forced to pay for the damages they caused in the gulf countries and be liable for losses incurred as a result of illegally closing the straits.

it's not up for the united states to concede control of the strait to iran. the united states has no jurisdiction in the matter. any agreement ceding control of the straits in exchange for something like free oil has no basis in any law but is the magical thinking of an idiot president and a terrorist government, who are apparently discussing colluding with each other to continue to harass and terrorize the people around them.

iran is a signatory to the treaty. the united states is not.

israel should very pointedly tell canada to shut the fuck up and go fuck itself.

by what mechanism, exactly, does mark carney believe that the united states has the right to sign an agreement on behalf of israel?

would he concede that same power in terms of the united states signing an agreement on behalf of canada?

no.

he's a fucking idiot. it's that simple.

canada should be offering tactical support in the fight against hezbollah, not seeking to appease it by supporting a ceasefire that it won't adhere to.

the morally bankrupt leaders of the west never lose an opportunity to align themselves with anti-semitism, no matter how speciously or incorrectly.

israel's behaviour is fully justified under international law, due to lebanon's refusal to address the problem, and they are fully morally justified in their activities.

iran's behaviour is in contravention of international law in several manners, and is ridiculously immoral on top of it.

if these pseudo-nazis would come out and say the truth of it - which is that they hate israel and want to see it destroyed - that could be addressed on it's face. instead, they make references to international law that are blatantly wrong and overwhelmingly backwards.

this is what happens when you allow your society to be overrun by backwardsness through lax immigration standards.

when canada opposed the invasion of iraq, it was done by correctly citing international law and was a kind of hill to die on in terms of upholding a dying system of norms. that's not the case, here. carney has no idea what he's talking about, and is acting strictly on a jew hating gut reaction. he's just a fucking nazi.

canadians will need to rise up to put an end to canada's growing appeasement towards terrorism.

the eu's pacifism and appeasement towards terrorism seems to have gotten itself into a bit of a mess hasn't it? 

maybe they should call putin and ask him to protect them from fascism. that worked out great in the 30s, right?

it remains to be seen if the eu's opposition to iran's contempt for international law will rise beyond the level of a stern rebuke. i doubt it.
