#Canada PM #MarkCarney says he sees the #war as an extreme example of a rupturing #WorldOrder.

β€œGeo-strategically, #hegemons are increasingly acting without constraint or respect for international norms or laws while others bear the consequences. Now the extremes of this disruption are being played out in real time in the #MiddleEast,” #Carney said at the Lowy Institute.

But whether #US & #Israel strikes on #Iran broke #InternationalLaw was β€œa judgment for others to make,” he said.

We have , I think , in the general rational proclivity of judgements, the tendency to hew towards a balanced assessment of things...what shall we do , given this particular moment ?

"20 yrs ago, it was common for companies to buy servers and run them in their own data centers. These days, everyone just uses #thecloud.
In #Carney's framing, #hegemons and #hyperscalers are linked because the dominant hyperscalers today are Amazon, Google and Microsoft, all US companies, and Tencent, Huawei and Alibaba, all Chinese companies. The hegemons are home to the hyperscalers.
There just aren't any Canadian or European or Japanese or Australian hyperscalers."
