U.S. President Joe Biden and other leaders expressed concern to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 summit this month about Canadian claims that New Delhi was involved in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in Canada, the Financial Times reported on Thursday.
Meanwhile, this is the US’ public statement on the issue:
“They are certainly serious allegations, and we believe in order to determine how credible they are, there needs to be a thorough investigation. Prime Minister Trudeau has called for that, and so we’ll see how Canada moves forward on this. It’s certainly well within their capacity to do this, and we urge India as well to participate and cooperate in that investigation. It is important to find out exactly what happened.”
It’s clear the US doesn’t give a shit about our interests. It’s not like we haven’t shared the investigation we already did with them.
America won’t care until they remember how much water we have.
Water, oil, lumber, coal…
They already get it at a discount compared to Canadians. America isn’t worried.
Shhh
If it ever came to that they’d simply annex us. Let’s he honest.
I think it’s a fair public statement, one that doesn’t overstep Canadian sovereignty and it’s ability to make its own case. It doesn’t make me think that the US doesn’t give a shit, they’re probably ecstatic that India got caught on it so the US get some negotiation leverage for free.
That’s a fair assumption if the US didn’t have almost complete access to our investigation. They do, so they know everything we know and they know the Canadian position.
They’re our ally and they’re intricately tied to our security apparatus. They should be standing up for us and, at the very least, making a statement condemning “general assassinations that violate the territorial sovereignty of other countries” or some shit.
Probably, but changes nothing in my view.
I think they are. The accusative statements you’re thirsty for will come as the case gets more traction and more evidence is made public. For now, it makes sense for the US to play “curious and watchful”, because Canada is taking its time in building the case publicly.
