Oh, I agree that he's serious about getting things done with the economy. I just think that with a different leader in the US and a different geopolitical situation his priorities would have likely shifted with less weight on the military side of the scale.

I'd count myself as one of those generally approving of where Carney appears to be heading (time will tell what comes of it) but I have my doubts that he would be so hawkish on defence were there not the pressure of Trump's policies. The tariffs, talk of ending/changing CUSMA, America first...

THAT's the "Very Big Present" worth "a tremendous amount of money" that Iran gave to Trump??? Letting tankers supplying oil to non-US aligned nations pass through the Straits while still preventing US-allied ships to go through? Were they containing Iranian oil which would help fund the...

I wonder what the life expectancy of the unnamed Iranian official that the US is supposedly talking to will be if the IRGC finds out who it is?

I won't argue the point that pot use by individuals is no more harmful/disruptive to the person and society than alcohol use so I see the point people make about it being silly to allow one but not the other. However, the difference I see is that there is a substantial criminal...
