Dhimmis in the Making

Donald Trump pretends to be a strong guy, even admiring actual strongmen, but what will he do when confronted with an opportunity to stand for civil rights, etc.?  He caves like all modern negotiators.

Erdogan's security detail assaulted and sent people to the hospital, on American soil during his last visit.  Did that change Trump's tune toward him?  Not at all.  Did it change Obama's tune toward Erdogan when his security detail assaulted people outside the Turkish Embassy in Washington during his watch?  Not at all.  They are both cowards who refuse to stand up for the pride of America and her citizens.

This last week, Saudi Arabia decided to recall all ambassadors over a tweet by the Canadian prime minister calling for the release of a Saudi civil rights activist.  If our leaders were men and women of courage and conviction, every Western leader would coordinate a response repeating the same tweet in solidarity with Canada for representing Western values.

I'm not holding my breath.  We are led by craven cowards more interested in feathering their own nest than preserving freedom in their home territories.

As an aside, Canada only did this because they viewed it as consequence free virtue signalling.  They are busy going after their own ideological heretics at home (e.g., Trinity Western University, Jordan Peterson, and anyone like Lindsay Shepherd who dares propose that his ideas are open for discussion).
