Small summary:

🔺 FIFA awarded Donald Trump the “Peace Prize,” a decision that clashes head-on with his history of aggression during his term in office.

🔴 Trump ordered the recent militarization of the Caribbean, extrajudicial executions were reported, and he made direct threats against Venezuela, Mexico, and Colombia.

⚽️ FIFA President Gianni Infantino justified the award for alleged “extraordinary actions” to resolve conflicts, ignoring Trump's aggression and warmongering policies in the Global South.

📣 This controversial award, given in the context of the 2026 World Cup draw, leaves a deep “bad taste” in the international community and exposes the double standards of an organization that claims to promote peace.

I remember in his first term, hearing about how drone bombings were triple the rate from when Obama left office, and to solve that, he ordered suppression of publishing drone bombing statistics.

Maybe FIFA are in a similar censorship bubble, not hearing about all the rest of it.

Trump's their boy. Just doing his job.
