‘Trump is basically making a new NATO, but for the bad guys’: With the inclusion of Alexander Lukashenko, Trump’s Board of Peace now has two dictators
United States President Donald Trump is out here creating his own Avengers, but instead of saving people from perpetual doom, this superhero group will possibly be bringing in more trouble, not just for Americans but for others around the world.
On January 19, 2026, several reports emerged online that suggested that the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, had been invited by Donald Trump to join his Board of Peace, which was “formed to solidify Peace in the Middle East” and “to embark on a bold new approach to resolving Global Conflict!” The X page called Republicans Against Trump even uploaded a picture of the two-page proposal letter that had been sent to the Belarusian president by the White House in Washington, the opening remarks of which read:
“It is my Great Honor to invite you, as President of the Republic of Belarus, to join me in a critically Historic and Magnificent effort to solidify Peace in the Middle East and, at the same time, to embark on a bold new approach to resolving Global Conflict!”
While the letter may have continued for two pages, if you ask for my opinion, it could have been completed in two paragraphs. Because it’s the same information repeated again and again, with some occasional chest thumping included, which are signature attributes of the orange overlord sitting on the throne at the White House. Nevertheless, this is not what this is about. This is about how Trump is collecting all the autocrats/dictators as minions to form his “Board of Peace.”
In case you didn’t know, Alexander Lukashenko is largely considered a dictator, infact he is often dubbed as “Europe’s last dictator.” Why? There are several reasons. First and foremost, through various means and tactics that often involve suppression and manipulation, he has managed to stay in power for more than 30 years.
Lukashenko has repeatedly flouted the rules of governance and bended it in his favour, ensuring that he is never dictated by them. Notably, in 2004, he terminated the concept of term limits for Belarusian presidents, but later revised it with the inclusion of a two-term limit for newly elected presidents, conveniently excluding himself from being subjected to these rules.
To top things off, Lukashenko even admits to being a dictator. In an article published by the Atlantic Council on November 28, 2012, it was reported that Lukashenko, while speaking to Reuters during an interview, said, “I am the last and only dictator in Europe. Indeed, there are none anywhere else in the world.”
With Alexander Lukashenko potentially taking a place on Trump’s “Board of Peace”, the dictator count on the panel has come up to 2, with the other one being Russian president, Vladimir Putin. I wonder who’s next.
