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.
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.
