Trump Board of Peace Putin 2026: Australia's Looming Strategic Choice
Donald Trump invites Vladimir Putin to his 'Board of Peace,' prompting warnings of a new era of appeasement. Asia Times argues Australia must resist joining.
An invitation to an enemy: Trump's new diplomatic gamble is redrawing the lines of global power. Donald Trump has reportedly invited Vladimir Putin to join his so-called 'Board of Peace.' According to Asia Times, this move signals a departure from traditional democratic norms in favor of a transactional alliance with authoritarian figures.
Trump Board of Peace Putin: Diplomacy or Appeasement?
The proposal to include the Russian leader, often described as Ukraine's nemesis, has sparked intense debate among geopolitical analysts. Critics argue that the board isn't about genuine peace but rather a collection of 'aspiring despots' looking to bypass established international rules. This 'appeasement' strategy mirrors dark periods of the 20th century, raising fears about the stability of the Western-led order.
The Risk for Australian Foreign Policy
Australia now faces a difficult decision. Joining the board could alienate its closest democratic partners and undermine its commitment to a rules-based order. Asia Times suggests that Canberra shouldn't join Trump’s circle of appeasers, as it would compromise the nation's long-term security interests and moral standing in the Indo-Pacific region.
