Interesting point. I guess we’ll have to wait and see if that’s the case. It’s a pretty vague statement.
Maybe sending some 'defensive bombs', kinda like the uk.
Could also mean sending aid for anyone caught in the crossfire 🤷♂️
I though nato was about defending europe not gulf countries.

It was the defence minister who said it not Carney.
Carney is walking a fine tight rope between keeping Trump calm, but also not getting Canada involved.
