Nothing says "board of peace" like having two founding members not show up to the signing ceremony because they would be arrested at the airport for war crimes.

When America leads, peace is always more secure! 🇽🇰🇺🇸
Today, in Davos, on behalf of the Republic of Kosovo, I signed the Charter of the Peace Board as a founding member, equal and with full rights, side by side with the United States of America.
Membership in international peace organizations led by our strategic ally strengthens our sovereignty, our international position, and is in the highest interest of the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, this historic agreement will be sent to the Assembly of Kosovo for ratification, in accordance with the Constitution of Kosovo, to receive the final approval of the representatives of the people.
Thank you to President Trump for his leadership and for the invitation to represent the Republic of Kosovo at this historic moment.
Kosovo will be in the service of peace, today and forever!

(57,713 posts)Much if it occurred under Kosovo Liberation Army leader Hashim Thaci, currently on trial for war crimes at The Hague. Almost everyone in the Jewish community of Kosovo fled to Serbia or Israel during the conflicts of the 1990s. Today, only a tiny Jewish community of about 50 remains in Prizren.
If it was the Serbs, the Jews would not have fled to Serbia. Many were Serbian-speaking Jews closely aligned with the Jewish community in Serbia, which remains in Serbia at approximately 3,000, particularly in Novi Sad, Belgrade and Nis. Serbia fought on the side of the Alllies and sheltered Jews during WWII.
Albania sided with the Axis powers during WWII.

(537 posts)Don Trump talking about blowing up Iran, blowing up Hamas, invading Venezuela and killing 100 people, blowing up boats on the sea, attacking his own people...
And right behind him is "Board of Peace" sign... Hypocrisy at its finest
Allowing the worlds war crime leader, Putin, to even be on this board.
this isn't a board of peace, is a takeover and redistribution of the resources and land...
All disguised as peaceful leaders, and every one of them, have killed their own citizens, or attacked another country...
and it cost a Billion dollars to join... Grift, Anyone?

(5,133 posts)an enemy is rich, they are greedy, if he is poor, they crave glory. Neither East nor West can sate their appetite. They are the only people on earth to covet wealth and poverty with equal craving. They plunder, they butcher, they ravish, and call it by the lying name of 'empire'. They make a desert and call it 'peace'".
