US President Donald Trump's administration has issued an ultimatum to countries seeking permanent membership in his new Board of Peace, requiring a cash contribution of at least US$1 billion.
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.

It’s his same old song. Tear down what already exists, then huck a new version of it out for the very low price of $19.84.
I’m surprised he hasn’t added his name to the title of it yet.
That’s a good point. He still has time to put his name on it though.
UN SC is not unilaterally controlled by the US, other permanent members get a veto too. That’s why he would like to replace that.
