Carney misses chance to cut puppet strings

I've noticed a pattern in the response of various countries to Trump's attack on Caracas and the kidnapping of the Venezuelan President. The more dependent a state is on America, the more effusive their praise for Trump's criminal actions. That's why Israel and Ukraine were so blindingly quick off the mark. Israel needs Trump to keep the genocide humming, to maintain the bomb supply and run interference at the UN. Ukraine hopes to convince Trump it is not yet a lost cause, so they see no viable options other than continuing to smother the Orange Ogre's ample arse with kisses. Countries not tied down by bonds of vassalage to American interests, for example the BRICS countries, are more apt to call out US violations of international laws and norms. Even some of our NATO allies are decrying Trump's attack. Spain's PM Sanchez said;"Spain did not recognize the Maduro regime, but neither will it recognize an intervention that violates international law and pushes the region into uncertainty and belligerence." In contrast, Canada "welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace and prosperity for the Venezuelan people." Oddly enough, that's pretty much the same buffet of good stuff the American war machine promised Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Somalia, to name a few. For some reason it never seems to pan out. At the very least, Carney could have expressed some reservations, but he's super-keen on not pissing off Trump. Mark Carney doesn't want to be the next foreign leader to get a helicopter ride!
