As Israel slaughters tens of thousands Justin Trudeau wants us to believe Russia is responsible for the “might makes right” philosophy in international affairs. He knows ‘serious’ journalists won’t challenge his nonsense.
At NATO’s 70th annual Parliamentary Assembly the prime minister claimed Canada would continue pumping resources into the fight against Russia since Moscow had reverted to a “might makes right” philosophy “long after it disappeared” in international relations. In his Montreal speech, Trudeau also bemoaned Russia’s “destabilization of the rules based international order.” He added: “If Russia succeeds in gaining an inch of territory in Ukraine because of their illegal invasion, countries around the world will look at their historical grievances around a border. They will look at the fact that perhaps they have a slightly larger military than their neighbour and wonder if it isn’t time now to redraw lines on a map, to violate the UN Charter, as Russia has, to once again destabilize the rules-based order in a way we have not seen since the end of the Second World War. The prosperity we have had for decades around this world happens because we agreed to rules — and we abided by them even during the Cold War.”
In his story headlined “Trudeau opposes Russia keeping Ukrainian territory” senior Globe and Mail reporter Steven Chase quotes Trudeau but fails to offer readers any alternative to the PM’s absurd statement (the only criticism Chase includes is that Canada hasn’t increased military spending fast enough). Didn’t NATO “destabilize the rules based international order” with its “might makes right” wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Libya? Didn’t the USA’s might-makes-right wars against south-east Asia destabilize the rules based international order? What about the dozens of U.S.-sponsored and Canadian supported coups around the since the Second World War? Isn’t Canada backing Israel’s “might makes right” genocide in Gaza while enabling that country “to redraw lines on a map, to violate the UN Charter” in the West Bank?
As Trudeau and Chase know, the International Criminal Court recently issued arrest warrants for the leader of a country Canada is arming. Additionally, the International Court of Justice advised UN member states they were obligated to cease enabling Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. (more...)
