I recently came across a news report stating that 2,500 religious leaders had signed a petition urging Congress to reject Donald Trump’s cabinet nominees as “a cabinet of bigotry.” I looked over the list of signatories, designated by religion, and saw only one who identified as Buddhist. This observation reinforced my puzzlement as to why Buddhist teachers and leaders in the U.S. are not more outspoken in addressing issues of public concern. Considering that Buddhism is widely hailed as the preeminent religion of peace and compassion, why, I ask myself, aren’t we more visible as advocates of peace, basic sanity, and social justice?
We’re entering a turbulent time when it won’t be enough for us merely to adopt the dharma as a regimen of resilience, a means of maintaining inner balance against the shock waves rippling across the social landscape.
AND SO I ASK....THE VERY SMALL PRINT I ATTEMPTED TO READ FOR TRANSLATION...STATES'
NOW I AM GOING TO SHOW U HOW TO MAKE PAPER AIRPLANE....IT IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER...I QUESTION YOUR POST/SOURCE AND WOULD WANT MORE VERIFICATION OF TRANSLATION OF THIS PARADE....I COULD NOT BRING UP THE WEBSITE APT....WAS IT A.I. GENERATED......APPEARS INACCURATE OR MISLEADING....THERE IS NO TRANSLATOR..TRY AGAIN WITH ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
Lets start with the basics and see if you are willing to acknowledge these facts.
1. Do you believe Trump brokered a peace deal between Cambodia and Thailand?
2. Do you believe that Cambodia's Deputy PM nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, (along with 6 other nations)?
3. Do you believe this would please the Cambodian Monks who, by their nature, want peace?
These are very easy yes or no questions. I have no knowledge of whether or not the video is 100% accurate, just like I couldn't confirm the accuracy of any current video on the net because we now have AI.
The accuracy of the video however, does not change the facts regarding Trump and the peace deal. If you are unwilling to answer the 3 questions posed to you, then why would it even matter if the video is real? I'm sure the fact checkers who were in retirement during Biden's term will let us know if the video is fake, and if it's not fake, you won't hear a peep from those same fact checkers.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
Trump’s Mideast deals tout ‘peace’ where there was never war
Trump’s reelection would bring even more pressure to bear on the Palestinians, potentially leading them to abandon the two-state solution altogether and demand equal rights in a single binational state.
The current Palestinian leadership is opposed to such an outcome, as are the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians, but that could change if Trump and Netanyahu succeed in extinguishing Palestinian hopes for statehood.
“The assumption is that the Palestinians have no choice but to accept it,” said Hugh Lovatt, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations.
“But actually, the Palestinians do have another choice, which is actually to pivot toward calling for equal rights within one state” he said. “That’s the fundamental weakness and flaw in the Trump vision, is that it misunderstands a lot of these long-term dynamics.”
resident Donald Trump has been publicly backed for the Nobel Peace Prize by the leaders of multiple countries following a series of high-profile diplomatic engagements hosted at the White House and elsewhere, while his allies in Washington and abroad submit nominations on his behalf.
Why It Matters
The Nobel Peace Prize award is among the world's most prominent international honors and hasn't been won by a Republican U.S. president since Theodore Roosevelt in 1906.
While these recent endorsements underscore the prize's global profile, several of the governments backing Trump's nomination—including Rwanda, Israel, Gabon, Azerbaijan, and Cambodia—are led by authoritarian figures, military juntas, or leaders facing international arrest warrants. Such factors could complicate the symbolism of their support for the U.S. leader.
John Bolton, former national security adviser to Trump, said in an interview on ABC: "I don't think what [Trump] has done materially changes the situations in any of those circumstances or several others he's mentioned … I think what Trump has done is make it clear that he wants a Nobel Peace Prize more than anything else. And the way to his heart, as Pakistani chief of staff [Asim] Munir found and Netanyahu found, is offer to nominate him."
BUT HEY, WE STILL HAVE THE RUSSIA DEAL TO BROKER...IF THAT OCCURS,FOR REAL, THEN YES TRUMP GETS THE BRASS RING.
