Next to Blair and a couple of members of the Trump Clan, Trump has invited Putin to the Gaza governor's peace board. :bleeding:

QuoteTrump Wants Nations to Pay $1 Billion to Stay on Peace Board

The Trump administration is asking countries that want a permanent spot on his new Board of Peace to contribute at least $1 billion.

According to a draft charter for the proposed group seen by Bloomberg, President Donald Trump would serve as its inaugural chairman and would decide on who is invited to be members. Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman's approval.

"Each Member State shall serve a term of no more than three years from this Charter's entry into force, subject to renewal by the Chairman. The three-year membership term shall not apply to Member States that contribute more than USD $1,000,000,000 in cash funds to the Board of Peace within the first year of the Charter's entry into force," the draft says.

Critics are worried that Trump is trying to build an alternative, or rival, to the United Nations, which he has long criticized.

The board is described in the charter as "an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict." It would become official once three member states agree to the charter.

Trump would also be responsible for approving the group's official seal, the document says.

Trump has invited a number of world leaders, including Argentina's Javier Milei and Canada's Mark Carney, to be part of a Board of Peace for Gaza, which would be formed under the broader umbrella of his new Board of Peace.

That plan attracted swift criticism from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said the details hadn't been coordinated with his country.

Several European nations have been invited to join the peace board, according to people familiar with the matter. The draft appears to suggest Trump himself would control the money, something that would be considered unacceptable to most countries who could have potentially joined the board, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss private matters.

Several nations strongly oppose the draft of Trump's charter and are working on collectively pushing back against the proposals, the people added.

A US official confirmed to Bloomberg News that while members would be able to join for free, the $1 billion fee would grant permanent membership. The money raised will be used directly to accomplish the Board of Peace's mandate to rebuild Gaza, said the official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The board will ensure almost every dollar raised is used to execute its mandate, the official added.

The Board of Peace would convene voting meetings at least annually and "at such additional times and locations as the Chairman deems appropriate," the draft charter says. The agenda would be subject to approval by the chairman. The peace board would hold regular non-voting meetings with its executive board. Such meetings would be convened on at least a quarterly basis.

Trump would also have the power to remove a member, subject to a veto by a two-thirds majority of member states. "The Chairman shall at all times designate a successor for the role of Chairman," the charter says.

On Friday, the White House announced a first executive panel that would include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair before the formation of the overall board.

This absolutely cartoonish.

The thing people are missing is that MAGA is not necessarily aping the NAZI's. They are implementing the America First agenda of the original American fascists who predate Hitler.

In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

I feel sorry for the people who've spent so much time trying to rationalise this constant stream of bullshit coming from the WH, including some here on languish.  :P



edit:

And it's time some mainstream network journalism started calling it as it is, rather than attempting the old, this side says one thing the other says a different, 'equally' valid thing.   <_<

Who here, specifically, has "spent so much time trying to rationalise this constant stream of bullshit," and what alternative does the BBC have but to report things as it sees them?

Ok, I'll come and say it, principally Shelf.  :D

It feels to me like we will soon find out if the US military is willing to shoot at either NATO allies or its own citizens, or whether it will meaningfully balk and resist.

Yeah feels like somethings has got to break soon.

Also... it is tragicomical beyond measure that the post-War order and the West as a geopolitical entity is coming crashing down because the world is unable to satisfy the emotional needs of the "very special boy" that is Donald Trump.

I hope the fuckers who weren't brave enough to prosecute him for the coup attempt are happy.

Also fuck everyone who voted for him. I hope seeing Mexicans harassed on the street was all worth it.

... who was voted for by tens of millions. As bad as he is, keep in mind that there was a huge chunk of people who looked at him and said, "Yeah, give me a couple more years of that!"

Yeah. Even if Trump got off the stage and a normal politician replaced him, America is now always just a single election away from declaring war on NATO allies. The support that's still there is unbelievable and the really scary bit here. Can't really see how trust can ever be rebuilt.
