The world isn't as simple as good guys vs. bad guys. It's all shades of grey, and your ally on one issue might be your adversary on another issue.

His support for the Iran war could be that he genuinely believes it, as Iran is opposed to western hegemony and thus is a threat to western banks

He's said why from the very beginning. Iran having nuclear weapons would be bad for everyone. He's suggested people read the IAEA reports on Iran. Have you? There's no need to speculate on what his intentions are, you just need to do some reading.

Iran was attacked out of nowhere, by one of the most incompetent and overconfident militaries on the planet, and now has more power and freedom than it started with. Supporting that invasion is the realm of fools and idiots. Still, within less than 24hrs, he said “we will unconditionally support the US in this war”.

Carney’s “elbows up” was to make ignorant people feel good about themselves while he sells the country out from under us, often times to US-based companies. He’s nothing but a traitor.
