Like clockwork.



BTW, one of dudes who disarmed a terrorist was….wait for it….Muslim.

:suspicious:
So he wasn’t from the Islamic extremist fundamentalist half.

Maybe not half, but it’s not an insignificant % either.

Carney just killed the rules based world order. This is what a real and honest leader looks like. Trump didn’t initiate it but he’s causing its demise.

Didn't take you for a Henry Kissinger fan. Carney didn't properly cite his sources, since what he said was pretty much the abstract for Realpolitik. And you're right, none of this (rules based world order and its demise) started with or was even understood by Trump. But he is hastening the retreat from it.

Huh? Carney is addressing the opposite here. He recognizes the true nature of the rules based order and how it was adhered to by world powers only when convenient. All foreign relations are pragmatic in nature.

Kissinger was a war criminal.

Not the opposite at all. Realpolitik is basically pragmatism.

By literally acknowledging the issues with it?

Like I said, everything can be considered pragmatism. It’s a neutral term. EG: a win-win-win scenario that benefits two countries but also the entire world.
