He's trying to take the whole world with him and it doesn't seem like anyone is going to even try to stop him.

Blair and Rubio named on senior executive of Gaza 'Board of Peace'
The former UK prime minister and US secretary of state will sit on the "founding executive board", the White House says

I don't get it. I suppose it's from 1984; what was minilove and how does it relate to the headline?

Exusia@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 226d (4 replies)

In 1984, it is revealed that the "ministries of" are not ironic nor accidental - they did not become twisted versions of their namesakes. They are so named to intentionally destroy the thing they are named after.

Ergo, "Ministry of Peace"

and how does it relate to the headline?

SlurpingPus@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 226d (1 reply)

Seems that the commenter suggests that calling it ‘board of peace’ is disingenuous.

Now I get it. I guess I didn't see the most obvious there.

I think that's the idea. Also I heard that the joining fee is $1bn. He just can't stop grifting.

If Trump was a generically engenired sleeper agent tube-breaded in soviet laboratory to be launched as a perfect sobotage of western civilization, he couldn't done any "better" than this guy is doing.

It's been a while since I saw the interview but Malcom Nance said something along the lines of, I'm not saying trump is a Russian asset, but he sure is doing everything a Russian asset would do.

@ideonek Um.. huh?

Look, at least try to proofread before posting, okay?

ideonek@piefed.social · 1 pts · 225d (1 reply)

I'm going to venture a guess that you are an American, aren't you?

I already settled by posting in the only language that you have a chance to understand (more or less). If you can't figure the rest from the context, you probably are not equipped for the discussion anyway.

wesdym@mastodon.social · -2 pts · 225d

@ideonek You're careless and sloppy, and you know it. You're also too immature to accept responsibility for yourself, which is why you're reacting this way.

Grow up.

So... The Russians, that he is so desperate to defend against, that he wants to invade an ally in order to make sure he is safe from.. is now invited to join a board that promotes the opposite of what he's doing... 👌

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 225d

That board is going to quietly enable the genocide to continue while enabling and shielding Israel from criticism

Gotta lovehate that picture. Apparently it's real:

U.S. President Donald Trump welcomes Russian President Vladimir Putin to Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson on August 15, 2025 in Anchorage, Alaska.

BTW while Putin looks better here, physically, that does not mean that he is better than Trump in any way.

and he never mentions gaza in his communications about it - we (media/public) do. heavily implying he wants a “new UN” and to be its leader.

Formfiller@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 225d

They’re going to profiteer off the gaza rebuild while enabling the genocide to continue while shielding Israel from any criticism or accountability

My prediction: Russia will join the "Board", Trump will pressure Ukraine and the Europeans they are against peace because they are not joining. Then Ukraine will join, because they have no other option than accepting this straw, as they don't want US as enemies. Then, Europeans will debate what to do, but in the end they will give in, as their parallel push for peace is not heard neither in Russia or the the US. I know it's sad, but I think this board of peace is not just stupid, but also pretty strategic.

My prediction: This board will die before it can exist. EU will give the middle finger to Trump and befriend the whole world, he'll trow a tantrum and send soldiers in Greenland. Those accepting to go will get their ass whooped by better equipped and trained for arctic warfare EU soldiers (they can do a metric shit ton of damage in the arctic, probably not in another environment against the US. But choosing the arctic as a first battleground is a huge tactical mistake against Norway/Finland/Sweden/Denmark/France/UK/Netherlands as they have specialized troops and materials for those environment, the US as way less of them).

This will end NATO as we know it and be the start of WW3. But this WW3 will last only a few weeks as most US soldiers won't fight against allies and will therefore rebel, do a coup or something while the US population will finally say stop that shit. It might end up in a civil war there, Trump and puppets will probably get shot by soldiers from California, but the rest of the world will be at peace and do business as usual while the American empire disappear in flame.

Russia won't change, they can't do shit anyway. Europe will have troops in Ukraine until it's a stalemate peace giving 100% of Ukraine territory back, but Russia won't change. China will be a friendly business partner, they might get cocky with Taiwan but they won't attack any other country.

Just read it on the news, and it was actually macrons idea, Trump only published it. Still can't believe my eyes, no clue what that's supposed to be.
