"Trump, Triumphant of Peace through Strength"!

2025-10-22 13:33:00, Opinione CNA

Among other achievements, the signing of the Peace Agreement was also demonstrated by the world media as the triumph of President Trump, or as the KingMaker of: "peace through force". This is because: "not only imposed the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, but also the end of the bloody/3000-year war in the Gaza Strip"!
Below (for anyone interested) find a summary of the security environment/threats, geopolitical importance, and the hopeful messages that this event carries not only for peace in the Middle East, but throughout the World, the Western Balkans, and for national interests (the Republic of Albania/Kosovo):
First of all, for those who mock President Trump, it reminds us that the concept of "Peace through force" is as old as history itself. Thus, we mention the Roman Emperor Hadrian, 117–138 AC: "whoever wants peace, let him prepare for war"; The first President, G. Washington in his annual message (1794): "if we want peace, we must be ready for war" and the efforts to avoid World War II, to the wise opposition of historian Andrew Bacevich: "'Peace through force can become peace through war'".
In short, this concept is not an invention, while Donald Trump is undoubtedly the first President in the history of mankind, who through the use of the (destructive) power of military force that was demonstrated against Iran's nuclear weapons, etc., achieved: "signing the peace agreement and forcing Hamas to disarm voluntarily or be forced by US and allied forces"!
While, perhaps unable to contain his excitement for this historic achievement, the head of the White House, underlined: "It took 3,000 years but finally the prayers of millions of people were answered". While thanking the signatory leaders, he considered the US military power as a “spaceship”!
Also, perhaps to give greater grandeur to this achievement (peace through force), the White House had selected Sharm el-Sheikh, the city well-known for several peace agreements, e.g. “in 1996, former President Clinton co-chaired the Peacemakers Summit and in 1999 between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat as well as in 2005, under the auspices of President Bush, the Summit between Israeli Prime Minister Sharon and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, etc.”
The historical importance and geopolitical weight that this agreement carries can also be read from the security environment/threats (widely perceived as the eve of World War III) as well as the signatories of this “comprehensive commitment”. Thus, in addition to President Trump and the host/Egypt, the President of the Palestinian Authority, Britain, Germany, Turkey, France, Greece, Hungary, as well as the head of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, were present, perhaps as a message that “football remains among the diplomatic weapons of peace”. This achievement was also welcomed by China, India, Pakistan and the entire globe, including the “forced support of Putinist Russia”, which due to the neo-Nazi war in Ukraine, as well as in the case of the attack on Iran’s nuclear bases, was brutally excluded from this agreement too!
To add value to this agreement, an urgent meeting of the Defense Ministers of 32 NATO countries was held, where 5% of military spending was confirmed with a focus on capabilities/defensive wall from Russian drones; support until the victory of Ukraine (€2 billion), etc. Meanwhile, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, considering Lavrov's threats against the permission for Tomahawk missiles, warned the Kremlin to stop the provocations, or: "it will be punished as only the USA knows and has the ability to do (e.g. the attack on Iran)"!
While beyond the "unsalted bragging about the wars won by Trump", I am quoting part of the wise sarcasm of the publicist (my friend), Ben Blushi, who in his dedicated status, described President Trump: "a man (the Messiah) who gets off the plane only after being guaranteed to be bowed to his knees, like the Roman governors 2000 years ago. From there he went to Egypt and treated European and Muslim leaders like little pyromaniacs. Before he left, he collected the matches and put them in the pocket of his victories"!
Secondly, in the strategic reading of peace, it was the product of the "most successful after-attack in the history of mankind, which the destructive power of the USA (6 B-2 aircraft costing $2 billion; 37 hours of flight; 12 GBU-57 bombs (14 tons each); 10 Tomahawk missiles and over 125 F-35 aircraft) carried out against the nuclear bases of the Ayatollah of Iran, who (like the terrorists), for 36 years threatened not only Israel but all of humanity: "with the extermination from the face of the earth of Nations, cultures and sovereign States"!
No other country in the world (including China and Russia) has (and will not have in the next 75 years) the military capabilities to carry out a similar or similar operation! Thus, this attack remains as a message of the destructive power of the USA against bloody dictators, or those who have been humiliated by the power of All-Power (Putin, Kim Jong, etc.), if they dare to attack any of the 32 member countries.
Because of Russia's neo-Nazi aggression 44 months ago: "Not only for the invasion of Ukraine - Martyr but also against the global order, democratic values ??and military power of the Alliance"; the escalation of the confrontation with extremists in the Middle East; the frightening return to the arms race, etc. are threatening humanity more than ever. Thus, this agreement remains historic even for President Trump's optimistic messages: "there will be no World War III"!
President Trump received applause, even for the hopeful speech in the Knesset/Israel when he confirmed that: "It is not only the end of the war in Gaza, it is the end of the era of terror. Now we will focus on Russia and we will solve this too". Meanwhile, "You are the only leader capable of achieving peace in the region", said Egyptian President al-Sisi, asking Trump for support for the Gaza reconstruction conference, which Egypt wants to organize with Germany, etc.
So, the achievement of this agreement confirmed that: “only thanks to the unrivaled (super) military power of the USA and the strong leadership of Trump, the World will not roll into the fatality of World War 3”. So, not War but: “peace, global order, values ??of civilization and democracy will triumph over neo-Nazis, neo-Stalinists, neo-Milosevics, against terrorist states and organizations”!.
In addition: “4 strategic tips”, or what small countries like the Republic of Albania/Kosovo can do, in the new global order and the project of “peace through force”:
1) While no country can survive a global war nor defend peace alone, Kosovo and the Republic of Albania should never even think about returning to “anarchist paranoia over sovereignty or self-defense”. So beyond patriotic rhapsodies, the protection of sovereignty and the development of geopolitical interests, the Republic of Albania and Kosovo, can only be achieved by sculpting national recognition and further strengthening strategic cooperation with the US.
2) While applauding the "agreement between Croatia, Kosovo and the Republic of Albania in the field of defense", I would advise the State actors and factors in Tirana and Pristina: "to bow down to the bloody history and state responsibilities", to give life to the Platform: "2-Sovereign States, 1-One Nation", confirming in Washington, Brussels, etc., that "although delayed" does not threaten any country (including Serbia), but will contribute as a rational balance for long-term peace and the Euro-Atlantic integration of the 6 countries of the Western Balkans.
3) Increasing defense spending by up to 5% (around €1.3 billion) by 2030 remains a critical necessity to transform the Security and Defense System, in accordance with the New Collective Defense Concept, by modernizing the combat capabilities of the Armed Forces to fulfill the constitutional mission: “protecting integrity (Article 5); developing national interests, promoting Euro-Atlantic values, and fulfilling NATO obligations”!
4) Beyond the facade of democracy, the distraction from the power of the superpowers and the self-degraded/ridiculous President, or folkloric vows, for the success of security and defense reforms, the historical mission remains the return of: “(real) political pluralism and democratic balances of powers; accountability and humility towards national interests, and strengthening the strategic partnership with the US/NATO/EU”.
