War For Peace?

While some might argue that Donald Trump's apparent desperation to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize could have positive repercussions in the real world - doubtless pointing to the apparent progress in possibly ending the current conflict in Gaza - I can't help but feel that, like everything else associated with Trump, it will all end in tears.  Or simply peter out if he can't get a quick result, in which case he will simply lose interest.  I mean, just look at the war in Ukraine, having failed to end it by bullying Ukraine into effectively capitulating to Moscow, or by exploiting his supposed 'special relationship' with Putin to get the latter to the negotiating table, he seems now to have effectively walked away, as it is clear that it doesn't represent a clear path to that elusive Nobel Prize.  Likewise, if there isn't rapid progress in Gaza, probably by the Palestinian side effectively capitulating to Israel, which would seem to be the only kind of 'peace' acceptable to Netanyahu, then Trump will start casting around for another war to resolve instead.  Maybe he'll start one specially, just so that he can end it through his 'negotiating' skills.  Perhaps that's why he seems to have declared war on the American people, sending troops and masked thugs into cities that didn't vote for him, hoping that a full blown civil war might erupt, which he can then resolve.  It's a novel approach and not one that the Nobel Prize Committee would probably agree with, but I suppose that it's worth a shot.

Another approach might be to take radical action with regard to an existing conflict.  Even as we speak, one of Trump's many crackpot advisors could be explaining to him that historically, many major wars have been ended by one side completely annihilating the other.  Just look at World War Two: the Allies first bombed Germany's cities to rubble, until they surrendered, then obliterated Hiroshima and Nagasaki with nuclear bombs (after they'd already levelled many of their other cities using conventional bombs), to force Japan's surrender.  With such a precedent in mind, could we see Trump's next 'peace plan' consist of sending in the USAF to bomb both sides in one of the smaller scale conflicts to the negotiating table?  He could start with one of those regional wars, like the current conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where rebels are allegedly being supported by neighbouring Rwanda - it shouldn't take much in the way of US military resources to bomb both countries into suing for peace.  Of course, it helps that these sorts of countries don't have nuclear weapons, so the possibility of it all going wrong and retribution against the US being carried out is pretty much non-existent.  But where such risks exist, then just bombing the weaker side into 'peace' would be a safer strategy.  So watch out Gaza and Kyiev - start negotiating with your foes now, or risk enforced US 'peace' being rained down on you from the skies.  If that still doen't get Trump the Nobel peace Prize, then perhaps he can simply bomb Stockholm, until they surrender unconditionally and award him the Nobel Prizes for Peace, Medicine, Economics, Physics and Literature.
