More key US allies block military flights as Iran war rift widens with Trump President Donald Trump blasted France, Spain, Italy, and the U.K. on Truth Social, criticizing their refusal to support U.S. military operations tied to the war with Iran.

This is how it's done! Italy & France joins Spain in denying U.S. military linked aircraft from using their airspace or bases for the war in Iran.

NATO’s founding treaty commits members to collective defense, not collective offense.

The treaty obligation is triggered only when a member is attacked, not when they attack someone else.

This is the best St. Patrick’s Day message from a public figure that I’ve ever heard. I wish that the New York Times would stop slamming this man.

De-emphasizing the U.S dollar in the world could be a good thing.

I see other middle power countries starting to working with each other to deal with Trump's increasing erratic threats. And many are truly actively negotiating diplomatically with Iran for access for their own ships to pass through the strait. Trying to isolate themselves from Trump craziness.

Apparently so far, no nations are heeding Trump's bombastic "threats" over refusing to militarily help "secure" the Strait of Hormuz due to his illegal war with Iran.
Imagine that ..... together - a backbone has been found to stand tall.

Russia was kicked out of G8 for annexation of Crimea in 2014 - so why isn't the U.S kicked out of the G7 for joining Israel in a starting war by attacking Iran against international law. (breach the UN Charter’s prohibition on aggression.) 14 days and counting.

Agree but it is a start.....Not expecting much from PM Carney unless it is do with trade. He seems able to make trade deals for Canada, providing options to shift Canada's reliance on the U.S.

Prime Minister Carney you could have just said nothing or least take your time to respond given the world wide stakes. - That would have been preferable.

Carney backs U.S. strikes on Iran 'Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," the prime minister said

The United States & Israel have launched strikes on Iran today, which still does not have U.S. congressional approval for war, yet it already has Canada's backing? What a world we're living in! www.canadianaffairs.news/2026/02/28/c...

OK.

I stand corrected.

Canada plans to assist Cuba while Washington squeezes the island Canada said on Monday it plans to provide assistance to Cuba while the island grapples with fuel shortages after Washington moved to choke off Cuba's oil supplies.

This decision to "assist" Cuba by "preparing a plan" by Carney's government has taken way to long. And how little or token will it be? Mexico has already sent meaningful humanitarian aid (800 tons of food & powered milk ) by ship 2 weeks ago. Canadians expect better. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

We know it.

Where's Canada's condemnation of the U.S. blockade to Cuba? Is this not an act of war under international law.....Also why not follow Mexico's lead and send emergency humanitarian aid to the Cuban people? Canadians expect better. www.msn.com/en-sg/news/o...
