Trump’s 'Board of Peace' to Meet in D.C. as Its Global Mandate Draws Skepticism

The United States plans the inaugural February 19 meeting of Donald Trump’s self‑styled 'Board of Peace' at the US Institute of Peace. The group, initially pitched to oversee Gaza reconstruction, has seen its charter expand to potential global conflict involvement, prompting questions about its mandate and whether it could override the United Nations. Invites have gone to around two dozen countries, attendance remains uncertain, and the event is described partly as a fundraiser. The development comes as Kushner outlined a Gaza redevelopment plan at Davos and Netanyahu prepares to meet Trump, with Hamas’ demilitarization remaining a key unresolved issue.

Oscars Go Global: 2026 Noms Highlight World Cinema Era

The 2026 Oscar nominations show a historic tilt toward world cinema, with a record share of non-English-language noms and about a quarter of Academy members living abroad. This internationalization broadens the slate across categories (including multiple non-English Best Picture contenders and several acting nominations), though precursors remain uneven predictors of the final winners, underscoring the Academy’s shift away from a US-centric taste.

Walmart Stock Dips Amid Broad Leadership Shakeup

Walmart's shares declined after a sweeping leadership reshuffle that includes John Furner replacing Doug McMillon as CEO on Feb. 1 and Chris Nicholas becoming President and CEO of Walmart International. The moves also elevate Seth Dallaire to EVP and Chief Growth Officer, name David Guggina as President and CEO of Walmart U.S., and promote Latriece Watkins to President and CEO of Sam’s Club U.S. as the company centralizes platforms amid AI-driven changes. Despite the leadership moves, Walmart highlighted solid international growth (11.4% in constant currency) in Q3, while TipRanks shows a Strong Buy consensus with a target around $126, signaling cautious investor sentiment to the upheaval.

Regime Change Reconsidered: History's Caution for Today's Policy

Regime Change Reconsidered: History's Caution for Today's Policy

Historian Richard Haass surveys a long, costly history of regime-change attempts and argues success only comes with credible post-change plans and sustained nation-building. From WWII Germany/Japan to Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya, failed efforts show the perils of rushed interventions. With current debates over Venezuela, Gaza, and Iran, the U.S. should treat regime change as a reactive tool rather than a first resort, offering calibrated incentives and supporting viable political transitions instead of attempting to remake regimes from the top down.

UK steps up sanctions and rejects Iran crackdown narrative

UK Foreign Secretary updates Parliament on Iran’s deadly crackdown on protests sparked by currency collapse, noting internet outages and reports that thousands may have been killed or arrested. Britain condemns the violence, summonses the Iranian ambassador, and presses Tehran to respect rights. The government has stepped up sanctions under domestic and international frameworks, designating Iran-linked entities and signaling broader sectoral measures (finance, energy, transport, software), while coordinating with allies after the UN snapback and previous resolutions. It also underscores safeguarding British nationals, cites the Foreman espionage case, and warns of Iran’s ongoing security threat activities and past plots, calling for continued cross-party and international action against the regime’s actions.

Trump’s Greenland Gamble: A Negotiating Tactic, Not Invasion

The Daily Signal argues that the Greenland controversy is a negotiating tactic, not an imminent invasion; Trump’s goal to acquire Greenland is presented as a lever to press Denmark and European allies for a deal that advances U.S. Arctic security and strategic interests, with Greenland’s possible independence and China’s interest adding complexity. The piece treats military action as unlikely and urges calm among European observers.
