    OK fair enough, but how can you include those that are in the United Nations, they are far from United.
    Could you include Britain in the Peace title? I think it would only consist of a few neutral countries if Peace is taken literally.

    All countries want peace but usually only on their own terms.

        I would certainly exclude those are actively involved in trying to take over another country. Along with those who knowingly lied to their country in order to take them to war.

            "Trump gets things done " ? What exactly has he achieved so far ? He can hardly claim to have halted any wars. His own country has seen a rise in the cost of living.....he has no interest in the environment.......he has alienated half of Europe as well as a number of US states and members of his own party........his tariffs and trade demands are not to anyone's advantage including that of the US. He appears to have no conception of any form of "law and order" unless it is of his own making. I suppose he has achieved a couple of things tho - he has managed to avoid any court appearances to answer the criminal charges he faces and he always hits the headlines with his meandering speeches and Twatters.
            He may well have been correct about Biden being incapable due to mental incapacity but it is obvious he is suffering from that problem too.

                  This is the lovely border gate between India and Bhutan - looking into peaceful Bhutan.
