Justin Trudeau must resign and his advisers must be fired

The past year and a half has not been kind to NATO, nor to Justin’s role within it. In spite of the triumphalism expressed by the likes of Jens Stoltenberg over NATO’s expansion to Finland and Sweden, the 18 months of war with Russia has revealed an unfortunate truth; the military manufacturing capacity of the combined NATO countries, USA included, cannot produce the munitions Ukraine needs to remain viable on the battlefield. “Everything you need for as long as it takes” was a PR jingle and nothing more. Trudeau’s reputation within that paper tiger was already in tatters. It was Trump who called Canada out as one of the free-loading member states, and this is as true now as it was then. What then must be the opinion of the senior members of the alliance when the bushy-tailed loudmouth Fluffy creates an international incident with India? And such an unnecessary incident. When the hit went down three months ago, informed observers would have pegged the odds at least 50-50 that India was behind it. Countries have long eliminated “terrorists” on foreign soil. Israel does it all the time. The USA killed bin Laden in Pakistan. The problem is, as always, that one man’s terrorist is the other guy’s freedom fighter. From the Indian perspective, advocates for an independent Khalistan are terrorists, and they have the same right to rub out Hardeep Singh Nijjar as the American’s had to dispatch bin Laden. The fact that neither Trudeau nor his team appreciated the gravity of what they have unleashed reveals that our foreign policy is in the hands of inept buffoons. It’s time to shut down amateur hour and bring in some grown-ups.
