Something i came across in the MEDIA outlets...imo..
In his speech at the United Nations (U.N.), President Trump claimed (no fewer than four times) that he has “ended seven unendable wars.” This assertion, which he began repeating over the summer, is not only a gross exaggeration: it also betrays a flawed understanding of peace itself.
Under the Trump administration, peace deals have been treated as an opportunity to secure resources and real estate. Recent agreements between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda, and between Armenia and Azerbaijan, illustrate this “resources-for-peace” approach. Both deals are fundamentally transactional. But by prioritizing American economic interests and quick fixes over a sustainable peace, they promise to yield fragile outcomes at best.
DRC-Rwanda Peace Agreement
Trump claims that his administration’s mediation between the DRC and Rwanda “stopped”’ the conflict in DRC and yet, fighting continues unabated. The outcome was predictable.
"""" The peace agreement, signed in June, had more to do with securing U.S. access to Congolese minerals than finding a recipe for durable peace."""""""'
