"The western worldview centered on economics is so tiring to say the least."

Is the Western worldview centred on economics? I would argue that the worldviews of non-Western civilizations are more centred on economics:

Wittfogel asserted that such "hydraulic civilizations"—although they were neither all located in the Orient nor characteristic of all Oriental societies—were essentially different from those of the Western world.

whereas the Western worldview is more centred on the ability to predate on hydraulic civilizations:

The author views the Trojan Wars as an unconscious metaphor for the clash of the civilizations that resulted from the arrival of the Indo-Europeans in the eastern Mediterranean. Instead of the meeting of Achilles and Hector, “it is a deathly confrontation of two ways of understanding the world.” The language of the Iliad symbolizes this clash: words like “city,” “battlements,” “walls,” and “gates” are juxtaposed against the “flatlands,” the “open plain” and the “pedion,” over which Achilles runs like “a being radiant with horror, bringing evil and pain to men.”[xiii] For the author no two worlds could be more different than “the grasslands of the steppes north of the Black Sea [the Indo-European homeland] and the craggy broken boundaries of the Mediterranean.”[xiv] This dialectical tension between steppe and city-dweller is reflected in a key Homeric theme: the Greeks’ deep “distrust of the potential for unmanliness in the city, whose beauties and order are nevertheless deeply desirable.”[xv]

He asserts that: “Only in reference to Indo-European aristocratic berserkers … can we speak in Hegelian terms of a fight to the death for the sake of pure prestige.”[xxi] Prestige-motivated fighting pervades both Homeric epics. In the Iliad the first fighting does not begin until 2,380 lines into the story, but thereafter the blood flows, increasingly, with an increasing intensity and savagery, until, as Nicolson notes, “the climax comes in the crazed berserker frenzy of Achilles’s grief-fuelled rampage through the Trojans. The culmination is the death of Hector, when steppe-man finally meets and kills the man of the city.”[xxii]

Achilles, the “city destroyer” who is the ultimate symbol of an Indo-European warrior elite that was “ferociously male in its focus, with male gods and a cultivation of violence, with no great attention paid to dwellings or public buildings, but a fascination with weaponry, speed and violence.”[xxv]

On 4 April 1949, 12 countries from Europe and North America came together in Washington, D.C. to sign the North Atlantic Treaty. NATO’s founding treaty is not long – only 14 articles, just over...

Collective defence is NATO’s most fundamental principle. Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that an armed attack against one NATO member shall be considered an attack against them all.

So now will there finally be joint military action against Russia (even if Trump keeps the US out)? This is what the British and French nuclear (and other WMD) arsenals are for! And if not even now, then what more has to happen FFS?!

Woke comments:

Everyone knew this was coming. This is Putin's chance to test NATO while America is being led by a weak president who praises Putin and belittles his allies. It is just going to invite more escalation by Russia until there is an adequate response. Europe must not wait for America to take the lead in this, as they will not, and whatever response they do will be weak. Europe needs to take the reins of NATO and respond swiftly and powerfully.

Quote
Europe must respond kinetically.  Then Trump will be forced to **** or get off the pot.

Quote
Article 5 INVOKE it NATO!  Do your job NATO and begin protecting your fellow neighbors from Russian assaults!

We are OBLIGATED to act.

One condition should be Schengen status for Canada:

This will offer an alternative Operation Gaddafi pathway, while also allowing non-Muslim "non-whites" currently in the EU increased convenience in relocating to Canada (from which they can potentially cross the border into the US also) if they wish to do so.

None of which is to say that Carney is on our side:

Quote
Following the Israeli attacks on Iran in June 2025, Carney reaffirmed "Israel's right to defend itself" and called for restraint.[183] Carney supported the 2026 Israeli–United States strikes on Iran
...
In April 2025, Carney disagreed with the accusation that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza
...
Carney eliminated the federal carbon tax, suspended the federal fossil fuels emissions cap, and came to a Memorandum of Understanding with Alberta that did not rule out a new oil pipeline to the west coast, despite the objections of British Columbia and Indigenous leaders, leading to his criticism from environmentalists
...
In 2025, Carney campaigned to address "unsustainable" immigration to Canada,[208] which had risen to approximately 500,000 a year during Justin Trudeau's premiership.[209][210] The Liberal Party pledged to reduce the number of permanent residents admitted to Canada to less than 1% of the Canadian population per year
...
In March 2025, Carney promised to reduce the number of temporary migrants and international students to less than 5% of the Canadian population by the end of 2027, saying" "It's a sharp drop from the recent high of 7.3 per cent.
