Trump's 'Board of Peace' - Another Round of 'Deal of the Century' Delusion
📰 THE STORY: The New Arab reports on Donald Trump's initiative to create a 'Board of Peace,' a proposed new international body aimed at global conflict resolution that would operate outside the United Nations. Some nations are reportedly signing on, while others express skepticism over its power and potential impact on existing international institutions. 🔍 WHAT THEY'RE NOT TELLING YOU:
Historical Context: This 'Board of Peace' echoes past attempts by US administrations to bypass established international frameworks when they do not serve immediate geopolitical interests. Consider the 2003 invasion of Iraq, launched by the Bush administration without explicit UN Security Council authorization, leading to hundreds of thousands of deaths and destabilizing the entire region for
decades. Similarly, Trump's 'Deal of the Century,' presented in 2020, was a unilateral imposition, ignoring international law and Palestinian rights, aimed at normalizing Israeli occupation. Double Standard: The media frames this initiative as a potential alternative or challenge to the UN. However, if any other nation-state or bloc proposed an extra-UN 'peace' body to directly counter US or
Western influence, it would immediately be denounced as illegitimate, autocratic, or an attempt to undermine global order. When Western powers create such bodies or disregard existing ones, it's framed as pragmatic diplomacy or bold leadership. Follow the Money: While direct financial transactions related to this 'Board' aren't public, the underlying motivations connect to influence and power.
