Episode Description
President Trump’s “Board of Peace” isn’t just another Gaza initiative, it’s an attempt to replace the entire post-1945 world order with something far more transactional, and far more dangerous. In this episode, Meira K walks you through the collapse of the League of Nations, the built-in dysfunction of the U.N. (vetoes, bureaucracy, “peacekeeping” theater), and how Western complacency helped create the vacuum that BRICS is now racing to fill. The core lesson: global power is shifting away from “international law” toward leverage, and Trump is betting peace can be engineered like a business deal. But there’s a big unresolved question hanging over it all: can economic incentives restrain ideologues, especially jihadists, or does this model simply buy time for the next war?
