Same here, and I wonder if the abduction of the two Mikes and the totally-unrelated Meng affair had the same impact on Americans as it did for us.


I'm Chinese and writing from a Huawei phone, and the Meng affair is frankly ridiculous: kidnapping those two guys, probably "sort of spies" and not just random teenage students you'll agree pretending this had nothing to do with Meng then freeing them up immediately after was impressive both in boldness and stupidity - we could maybe have the strength to own up rather than act like weasels non stop.

That said, helping Iran shouldn't be a crime until they actually pose a tangible threat, and at my little level, I think the US is being way too strict on them, and I dont dislike Huawei trying to help them... as long as we're able to control the risk and focus them rather than have it blow up in our face "US in Afghanistan"-style.


Can you elaborate on the two Mikes? I’m somehow entirely unfamiliar with what you’re referring to.



It had zero impact on the vast majority of Americans.


> the abduction of the two Mikes

What's incredible is how submissive Trudeau was.

The charges were completely made-up yet he couldn't secure their release for three years. That's weak.


He was stuck between the rock and a hard place.

It's like your daddy wants you to take the neighbourhood bully's toy, so you stole his toy, and now the bully came and took two of yours. What are you supposed to do?
