I 100% support NDP Leadership candidate @avilewis’s full statement. This is what progressive leadership should be saying in Canada. And it starts with:

“The US and Israel have launched an illegal act of war….”

Carney appears to be limited in his faculties to finance.

@chris @avilewis I agree the war is illegal and not sure Fox News cast members like Hegseth and Trump are smart enough to do regime change. BUT, when a regine has been there for 45 years and citizens have no means to oust it on their own, and sanctions have not worked, should the world remain idle ? What other tools remain other than military ? Consider military didnt work un Afghanistan.
@jfmezei @avilewis then you build a coalition and international support to pressure the Iranian regime to help the people. Military intervention rarely if ever works. All it does is cause a vacuum.
@avilewis @chris Trump destroyed the coalition when he pulled out of JCPOE without knowing what it was early in Trump 1.0. Doing so is what pushed Iran to start to enrich beyond the JCPOE limits which Iran had followed.
@jfmezei @avilewis yup. and there are reports now that Iran was ready to agree to nuclear concessions beyond what they did with Obama. But Trump and Bibi wanted to kill the Ayatollah.
@chris @jfmezei @avilewis Yep, and as Ayatollahs go Khamenei was quite a bit more moderate than his predecessor. Careful what you ask for.
