India is increasingly nationalist but does not house terrorists (Osama Bin Laden being the most notable) and militant / terrorist groups are not given access to its intelligence network to destabilize regional geopolitics.
Pakistan had the West's and especially US goodwill until it became known that the government there was too closely tied to terrorist / militant groups.
State control of corporations and industry through force is a key ingredient of fascism. Might as well put a swastika on the MAGA hat wearer also.
America sells a ton of services. Netflix, Amazon, Uber, Visa, Mastercard etc. Its possible to cut most out but very difficult to cut it all out in Canada. Perhaps it's easier in Europe.
This is the part of the 'trade deficit' story he and his supporters intentionally leave out. America has a massive trade surplus when it comes to exporting services.
You know what comes with a depression right? America is already setting the stage for its fascist phase. I wonder who the good guys will be as America turns heel.
I mean he called Trump transformational which I think anyone with a brain will understand but his supporters will see as a compliment.
There was some very carefully constructed language being used here which I think is a good first step.
It should also be noted that Carney said 'Never' five times when Trump said Never say Never but I don't think Carney was visible on the American broadcast.
Finding an excuse to use their toys is literally America's ethos a nutshell. This guy is just a microcosm of that.
I'm happy with expelling Albertans for being secessionists but Canada is keeping the oil.
To put it simply, the prosperity of Europeans and their descendants was paid for through the bloodshed of colonial exploitation. This created an inherently inequal world order.
The world has become more equal post WW2 and the descendants of the greatest beneficiaries of that exploitation are now displeased that they don't hold the same advantages their ancestors did. That's why we have to go back. That's why we have to make _____ great again.
Most PoC can hear these dogwhistles (if you can even call them that) from a mile away.
Doubt it would play out that way in the US. They're much more likely to take military action when the world cuts them out since making weapons is what made them rich and you can't keep making weapons without using or selling them.
Fascism and efficiency generally do not go hand in hand.
Russia sends weapons to India, not the other way around. India is not a major weapons exporter.
By this standard the US would be the biggest 'bitch' as it is the world's largest weapon supplier (followed by Russia and China).
