re: How weak does Canada look vs the Saudis right now?

quote:

---

Saudis: Do this.
Canada: No.
Saudis: You're going to do it.
Canada: Well, okay. But it looks really bad that you're asking us to do that! We feel really bad about this!

I have no idea what this is supposed to illustrate.

Any one claiming this is a win for the KSA doesn't know anything about the ME.

Like I said, as long as Canada doesn't apologize and walk back its criticism, then for me, Canada wins.
