“Ant fighting elephant…” Ex-Pentagon official picks India in ongoing diplomatic standoff with Canada

Sep 23, 2023

Washington DC (USA), September 23 (ANI): With each passing day, the diplomatic disruption between India and Canada continues to snowball. Amid the row, a former official of the Pentagon, Michael Rubin, chose to side with India. Michael Rubin said, “If Canada wants to pick a fight, it's like an ant picking a fight against an elephant.” While speaking to ANI, he said, “Well, frankly, there's a much greater danger for Canada than India. If Canada wants to pick a fight, frankly, at this point, it's like an ant picking a fight against an elephant. And the fact of the matter is India is the world's largest democracy. It's far more important strategically than Canada is, especially as concern grows with regard to China and other matters in the Indian Ocean basin and the Pacific.”
