DESCRIPTION:Trump\, the Nobel Peace Prize and the "rules-based order" Presi
dent Trump claims to be a great peacemaker\, deserving of a Nobel Prize.
The fact that he did not receive one led him to claim that he no longer "f
eels an obligation to think purely of Peace". At the same time\, he explai
ned that his insistence on "Complete and Total Control of Greenland" was b
ecause it was "Psychologically important for me". He has also said "I don'
t need international law" and that the only constraint to his power as pre
sident of the US was "my own morality\, my own mind". Even by the standard
s of the first and second Trump presidencies these extraordinary statement
s are absurd. They are also deadly serious as his subsequent 'excursions
' into Venezuela and Iran have proved. What are the motivations behind the
se threats and actions\, and is the so-called post-1945 "rules-based order
" really at risk of being undone? Trump's foreign policies are very undesi
rable and dangerous\, but the American-led world order may have more stayi
ng power than many commentators think or wish for. Join the Rotary Club of
Sydney's Peacebuilding Group for an incisive session with Professor Bre

claims to be a great peacemaker\, deserving of a Nobel Prize. \
;The fact that he did not receive one led him to claim that he no longer &
quot\;feels an obligation to think purely of Peace"\;. At the same tim
e\, he explained that his insistence on "\;Complete and Total Control
of Greenland"\; was because it was "\;Psychologically important fo
r me"\;. He has also said "\;I don'\;t need international law&q
uot\; and that the only constraint to his power as president of the US was
"\;my own morality\, my own mind"\;.
\n\nEven by the standards of the first and second Trump presidencies
these extraordinary statements are absurd. They are also \;deadly serious \;as his subsequent '\

ns\, and is the so-called post-1945 "\;rules-based order"\; really
at risk of being undone? Trump'\;s foreign policies are very undesirab
le and dangerous\, but the American-led world order may have more staying
power than many commentators think or wish for.
