I think there's a bit more to it. US support and ability to get other countries to go along with that support, is what has provided Israel with its arms and ability to intimidate regional neighbours. If the US's global influence wanes, it's an existential threat for Israel. The US's global influence is waning. The damage done by Trump, so far, will take decades/generations to correct in a best case scenario. Israel is desperate to re-orient power dynamics in the region while they still can.
Eg. If BRICS, and specifically China/India become more dominant / insulated from US 'sanction' coersion, as they generally are trending, then China and others may take a more active role in providing trade and support to countries like Iran -- China already buys like 90% of the oil from Iran, so it isn't unbelievable that they'd have an interest in preventing Israel from randomly blowing shit up there and destabilizing their cheap, largely uncontested oil supply. Similar story for Russia, who are buying/using Iranian drones in their war in Ukraine, and will likely integrate their use more thoroughly in their military going forward given the efficacy of the tech. Either Russia or China could supply Iran with Enriched Uranium, and other tech. Especially as there's less reason to participate in any sort of Nuclear non-proliferation treaty these days, given how things have played out.
China/India have long been thought to be 'rising' super powers, with many articles/models previously forecasting their 'ascent' in the latter half of the 21st century. Israel's actions are basically accelerating the negative trends for traditional powers, as a gamble where they hope they'll come out ahead once the dust settles.
Couple notes.
If you read the mandate letters handed out by the BC NDP to government agencies, many don't have any real direction to take action on Canadian supply chain integrity / tariff stuff. For example the BC FSA mandate from May 2025 includes verbiage like:
The direction of action in the second half of that line, does not require specific action in response to the tariffs/global trade situation noted in the first half -- it's more a general direction to try to "keep things cheap", than it is "try to keep things Canadian / secure". And that's the directive to an industry defined as critical infrastructure in Canada.
Similarly, the mandate letter to the folks in charge of BC Ferries makes mention of the global issues / tariffs, but mostly directs the Minister of Transportation and Transit to keep costs low, with no explicit directives to ensure Canadian supply chain sovereignty nor security.
So despite all the "pro Canada" marketing that goes on by our government, they aren't actually telling anyone in an operational sense to follow through on any of it. Hell, our government couldn't function without Microsoft even -- it's hard to argue we have sovereignty, when our own government is dependant on a subscription to a US company to exist/function.
Other note worth pointing out is that the process for getting the ferries was a bid open to Canadian shipyards, but no Canadian ship builders bid. Freeland can be as dismayed as she likes, if no Canadian business felt capable of competing for the work, it's not like the government can force them to take it. Besides, companies like Irving Shipyards, with their Bermuda tax haven to dodge taxes in Canada, aren't exactly stellar role models of Canadian industry in the first place.
The feds and prov governments have basically engineered Canada's economy to be driven by Oil exports, housing and healthcare, for practically decades. Throwing your hands up and acting all shocked and dismayed that other industries have generally withered and died in the country, is just stupid. It's not like Freeland and the Liberals weren't part of causing this problem for the past 40+ years -- JT was the guy who even declared Canada a post-national country, abandoning even the idea of a unifying Canadian identity.
