[Doctor Phibes]

@AndyD said in The new board of peace:

These are the members of the Executive Board.

Marco Rubio, U.S. Secretary of State
Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law
Sir Tony Blair, former U.K. prime minister
Marc Rowan, CEO, Apollo
Ajay Banga, World Bank president
Robert Gabriel, security advisor

And Chaired by Trump (CF)

Hard to imagine a meeting I'd like to attend less.

The Apprentice: WORST. EPISODE. EVER!!!

It makes sense if you try to think like Trump. It keeps him in shaping the world after he leaves office, and probably at a handsome salary and the chance to make mega-deals. As a subsidiary benefit it challenges the UN to be what they should be.

I'd be surprised if he lives that long. He does not look or sound healthy.

Sir Tony Blair, former U.K. prime minister

In light of Trump’s derisive remarks disparaging the combat role of Nato troops played in Afghanistan, it would behoove Sir Tony to resign immediately from Trump’s dubious and self styled Peace entity. I seem to recall that British and Canadian troops were charged with securing and holding the two most active combat zones in the conflict, Hellman province and Kandahar.

An immediate summons to No. 10 for Mr. Blair would be appropriate and in order.

[Mik]

Those remarks were not just awful, but completely false.

Denmark I think was second behind the US in terms of deaths per capita in Afghanistan.

[xenon]

Trump got away with deriding American POWs. This is small potatoes.

[Renauda]

Small potatoes to whom?

[Mik]

Certainly not to Denmark.

[Doctor Phibes]

He's actually managed to get Keir Starmer to say something unequivocal. Not an easy task.

[jon-nyc]

Im surprised Trump hasn’t accused Marc Carney of disloyalty after all Trump did to get him elected.

@Mik said in The new board of peace:

Certainly not to Denmark.

Certainly not to the veterans of the conflict and especially not to the families and friends of the fallen and maimed.

[xenon]

@Renauda I thought he disqualified himself over a decade ago. What I think doesn't count.

"Small potatoes" in whatever balance of forces that keeps this man in power.
