The document describes a mechanism resembling the “purchase” of influence: standard membership in the Board of Peace is limited to three years and depends on the will of the chairman. This restriction is lifted for states that contribute more than US$1 billion in cash to the fund within the first year.
“Decisions would be taken by a majority, with each member state present getting one vote, but all would be subject to the chairman’s approval,” Bloomberg says.
Pay a billion to get a vote, and everyone gets a vote…
But trump can overrule any vote…
And he can kick anyone out that he wants, so if you ever go against his opinion of the moment, he’ll kick you out.
Why the fuck would any country pay this?
Because it would be a shame if the military had to pay a little visit to your country if you don’t.
Also, guess what? Tariffs!
… oh my god this isn’t an onion article.
We are in hell.
We are in hell.
Always was, just this time Trumpler is exacerbating the overall situation - essentially driving us deeper into the underworld.
Outside of the overt extortion for entry bit, how would this be any different than the current UN where the US unilaterally controls basically every decision or its consequences?
It’s called the board of peace so we can assume it will be a global Mafia demanding protection money, and going to war whenever it’s the more profitable outcome.
The kind of group that should be nuked from orbit.
So no different than the status quo where Team America World Police does whatever they want whenever.
But this one exists to launder money to him and his cronies
“Bored of peace” coalition
Trump is a genius inventor: he keeps coming up with new ways to take bribes
First one trump invited is ofcourse putin … ???
Rimmer: United America? Who’s that?
Kryten: Well, at the end of the 23rd century, America attempted to bring peace to the world by asking every nation on Earth to sign a peace treaty.
Any nation that refused, they invaded.
Now, a war ensued that was called the War Against War. Those countries who went to war because they were so against war, they were prepared to go to war to fight in a war against war, called themselves United America.
(Sorry can’t find a better source)
I was not prepared for how Craig Charles looked in that clip.
But then I gave up on the show ages ago. The Series 6 finale was the end as far as I’m concerned.
That’s what years of curry and lager in deep space does to you.
Krytens skin is still young looking though.
Seemingly Cat hasn’t aged at all.
Black don’t crack.
Kryten’s looking a little worse for wear, but has still fared a lot better than Data in that Picard series.
This guy has ruined satire news…
Is he gonna give himself an award for this too?
A “Board of Peace” membership and a 100 Euro bill are worth 100 Euros combined.
I can only assume it will be renamed the “Board of War” in six months
I sure do love being an American (I don’t)
He’s such a fucking joke.
It’s not a funny joke when you’re in the targeted minorities.
