"Chairman of the globe": why does Trump need a "Peace Council" and can he oust the UN

Experts talked about what role Russia can play in the new organization.

Earlier in the day, Egypt accepted Trump's invitation to join the Peace Council organization. Azerbaijan, Argentina, Bahrain, Belarus, Hungary, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, Israel, and Morocco have previously agreed to the initiative to join the council.

At the same time, the leaders of Western countries have so far refused to participate in the "Peace Council." As political analyst Vladimir Olenchenko suggested on January 21, this is justified by their unwillingness to formalize Washington's dominance. Because in such conditions, European countries will fade into the background and turn into ordinary participating countries.
