Mr. Clark has inadvertently stated the obvious...... "Suddenly, he has to start thinking "....
Was J. Trudeau "thinking" when he ordered the removal of our F-18's  ?  Or was he "playing to the crowd ". 
Russia has no intention of taking on "the West",  Putin may be a cruel dictator, but he's not stupid. Russia was made aware of the air-strike  at least 8 hours before.  As opposed to Canada, one hour before.   (yes, Putin was elected)
Once again Trudeau has been made irrelevant, and by extension,  Canada.
