The Board of Peace will be akin to a crime syndicate

If nations join, they will be deemed ostensibly safer from predatory action from Putin, Trump, Xi and any of their other autocratic members. That is, until Trump and the others demand more protection money.

I think he called it the Department of Peace. Anyway, I'm sure Trump's idea is, at best, a perversion of Kucinich's idea. The Board of Peace will probably spend most of its time figuring out a way to combine a Nobel Prize for Trump.

And I have their game figured out.

- Trump gets North America and the Caribbean

- Milei gets South America

- Putin gets Europe

- Xi gets Asia and the Pacific Islands

- Salmon gets the Middle East

- Modi gets India

No idea who gets Australia or Africa.
