Might makes right - the U.S. global 'peacekeeping' agenda

Trump’s Admin – Foreign Policy and Security (Marco Rubio part 2) Date recorded: Feb 23, 2026 Description: As 2026 continues to unfold, we’re seeing the U.S. entangle itself ever more deeply on the global stage. For instance, Trump’s Board of Peace has now morphed into a global organization that could rival and/or replace the United Nations. Outrageous? Nope. From the recently released preamble the Board calls for “a more … effective international peace-building body”. What about the normalization of Trump, Musk and many other representatives of the U.S. participating in the World Economic Forum meetings? And Venezuela - what’s really behind the invasion?
