Understandable. They do support Canada, but politics are usually a subtle game, and since the orangutan has less tact than caveman they do better avoiding to upset him with open and confrontational support.

Not like he's prone to notice such subtleties without someone pointing them out to him on a full powerpoint presentation anyway.

That's what happens when you give a toddler access to the nukes. Being tactful is a must, until unavoidable.

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure what's so surprising about a bunch of professional diplomats being diplomatic with their statements. It's not a group I expect a lot of outright, direct statements of their positions from.

Yeah... Agreed. One bad and aggressive statement often takes a whole lot of diplomacy to reconcile. And we should know, just look at Trump crashing the US soft power built over decades in a matter of weeks.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
