The New Atlas | Canada Doubles Down on US Servitude; Saudi Crisis Hurts, Not Helps Multipolarism | Sept. 16, 2026

Description:
While Canada poses as “reducing dependence on the US” it has actually doubled down on subordination and servitude to the US by expanding its commitment to the US proxy war on Russia in Ukraine.

The political circus created between Canada and US President Donald Trump was designed specifically to create an emotional override compelling Canadians to rally around their Prime Minister and his policies without realizing they were US policies.

While Saudi Arabia is a US proxy, the crisis slowly destroying it serves US interests, not hinders them.

The destruction of Saudi energy export infrastructure hurts Asia and China first and foremost and is a key part of US objectives amid its war of aggression on Iran and its wider war on multipolarism.
