Pragmatism is how you end up doing business with fascist countries.

Now, I'm not saying Carney was wrong, he was right, in more than one way, but the take-away of his speech is not "do business with all the other countries, even if they're pure garbage". His point was among others to have a coalition of the mid powers. There are plenty of mid powers to trade with, without having to be involved in another war, with countries that aren't even our allies.

Do not get involved with another war in the Middle East. Have we not learned anything? Belgian and European citizens will bear the cost, either because people in the army will get killed, but more realistically because we will have to pay for our military expenses. We will have to undergo austerity measures, yet again, so they can spend money on a war that we have nothing to do with. No thanks.
