President Obama on Iran: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz”

@FareedZakaria Informative and insightful as usual. Thank you for your commentary.

@pati_marins64 The PM is making the point that a scenario could emerge where further involvement would be necessary (in supporting roles), especially because Canada depends on the US (economically and otherwise) and further action (such as non participation) risks degrading relations even more

[Terence @Terence_F]

@pati_marins64 The Canadian Armed Forces and the US CENTCOM are already quite integrated in the Middle East, including sharing bases and having Canadian military planners embedded in US command structures. Canada in that sense is already involved.

Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

So we have a $17.9 billion trade deficit with Indonesia. Its exports to us are $28 billion. $17.9/$28 = 64%, which Trump claims is the tariff rate Indonesia charges us. What extraordinary nonsense this is.

@Dreamer_Aliu78 From a spectator perspective, Subban l always seemed to be chasing the spotlight with little character. I tend to read something like this and just get confirmation of what a lot of fans already suspected …

We’re canceling all remaining oil and gas leases issued under the previous administration in the Arctic Refuge and protecting more than 13 million acres in the Western Arctic.

As the climate crisis warms the Arctic, we have a responsibility to protect this treasured region for all ages.

The scariest thing about the GOP Senators’ absurd election protest is that they genuinely believe it’s in their political interest to make accusations that they all know are baseless.

[Stephen Walt @stephenWalt]

I'm no alarmist, but when a president & his administration repeatedly breaks certain laws w/impunity, there is no reason to believe they won't break bigger ones if they think they can get away w/it. At that point, every one of us is vulnerable to whatever they want to do.

Every country has been harmed by #COVID19, but #trump's bumbling response means the damage to the US will be greater than most. The negative effects are varied and far-reaching, and will last a LONG time. Latest FP column: https://t.co/uMFaqhLeVJ
