Peace, Out
Declaring war on Iran could dash Trump’s Nobel Prize dreams
There’s an anti-hero character in the D.C. universe who goes by Peacemaker, who’s especially good with pretty much all weapons and his motto is, “I cherish peace with all my heart. I don’t care how many men, women, and children I need to kill to get it.” I think you can guess who he reminds me of. Trump lusts after the Nobel Peace Prize so badly, — despite his comical denials — that he’s created a “Board of Peace,” with the price of admission only $1 billion. He’s invited the likes of war criminal and anti-Christ candidate, Vladimir Putin, as well as the Saudi Arabian government and authoritarians like Orbán of Hungary and Erdoğan of Turkey. Most of the countries represented are repressive with records of human rights abuses. It sounds like a bad Dr. Evil scene from an Austin Powers movie. Supposedly, the Board of Peace was formed to oversee the reconstruction of Gaza and maintain the ceasefire. You know, peace. However, ironically, Trump is itching to launch an attack on Iran and we’ve built up a huge military presence nearby. I’m not sure what board is supposed to mediate the peace if he decides to attack Iran or how that fits into his oft-stated policy of “no more foreign wars.” One thing I am sure of is that if he does declare war on Iran, he can kiss a Nobel Peace Prize of his own goodbye and he’ll have to take another one from someone else.
