Saudi Arabia severs diplomatic ties with Canada

[CauseImbetta]

Then who'll get us oil? You wanna live in the fucking desert or something? US tolerates and supports the Sauds for convenience. You cut that off and in a few decades it'll be Gundam 00 all over.

Disagree: we need to get off dirty oil entirely!! Agree or not?

Plus here are some ideas. Some better than others in the mean time.

Alternative energy
Tesla
Force stupid car manufacturers to make electric cars, Tesla provided the blueprint in 2016
Tar sands from Canada
Etc...

Ideally, I agree. Realistically, no.
It's better to cease fossil fuel consumption, but not fucking realistic, especially when there are a lot of interests involved; interests that matter to nation leaders.

Nope, not happening in the long run. Unless Iran is nuked, leaving Saudi isolated. Killing Saudi's cash cows can be equivalent to declaring war. A united Saudi-Iran Islamic force is a fucking nightmare for the West, especially when Islam spreads from Africa to South Asia. It'll be fucking world war.

LMAO. #TrudeauDerangementSyndrome



''Trudeau should fly to Saudi Arabia to apologize''

Lol, what a goddamn cuck.

Except, when he was foreign minister:

Any mention of Baird needs a huge asterisk that while he used to be Foreign Minister he now works for a company with significant interests in Saudi Arabia and nothing he says should be given any weight as either an ordinary Canadian or a former cabinet member.

Trudeau freaked out on an old lady who questioned him about the rising cost of the illegals he continues to allow into the country. He loudly virtue-signalled and then had her escorted out by goons. The mainstream media has yet to cover this incident and I doubt they will.

When you reasonably criticize the liberals "diversity" agenda you are shouted down, called names and taken out by goons.

Chrystia Freeland appeals for German support in diplomatic spat with Saudi Arabia
Reuters | August 27, 2018

The foreign minister of Canada, which is embroiled in a diplomatic row with Saudi Arabia, called for German support on Monday in Ottawa’s campaign to promote human rights around the world.

The German government, trying to repair its own strained relationship with Riyadh, has been silent on the spat between Canada and Saudi Arabia, drawing criticism from some politicians and rights groups.

Chrystia Freeland, speaking at an annual gathering of German ambassadors in Berlin, did not specifically mention Saudi Arabia in her address. However, she touched indirectly on the row which was triggered by her tweet demanding the release of jailed human rights activists in the kingdom.

In response, Riyadh has frozen new trade with Canada, expelled the Canadian ambassador and ended state-backed educational and medical programmes in Canada.

Freeland said Canada would always stand up for human rights “even when we are told to mind our own business ... and even when speaking up brings consequences”.

She added: “We count on and hope for Germany’s support.”

Ties between Berlin and Riyadh have been strained since former foreign minister Sigmar Gabriel denounced “adventurism” in the Middle East in November of last year, comments that were seen as criticism of Riyadh’s actions in the region.

Saudi Arabia withdrew its ambassador to Berlin and, since early 2018, has excluded German healthcare companies from public tenders.

Riyadh is at loggerheads with many European countries which have criticised its intervention in Yemen’s civil war and support dialogue with its arch-enemy Iran.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas stressed at the conference Europe and Canada’s shared interest in preserving a “rules-based international order” in the face of U.S. President Donald Trump’s unilateralism.

“It hits Europe and Germany when the United States, suddenly and without consulting, introduces random sanctions against Russia, China, Turkey and in the future perhaps more of our important trading partners,” he said.

Europe needed to become more autonomous in order to defend its commercial and trade interests, Maas said. “It won’t be easy,” he added.

This really is about as ironic as it gets when you consider that their Prime Minister is a fucking doofus who willingly gives money to assist in Jihad.
