The Board of Peace is expected to try and mediate global conflict and has been accused of trying to replace the UN
Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” has faced fresh ridicule after it emerged that nearly half of the countries on it are banned from entering the US under his travel ban.
Trump unveiled his alternative to the United Nations with great ceremony on Thursday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
He welcomed representatives from several countries on to the stage and said he was “friends” with all of them. They included Argentina, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bulgaria, Hungary, Indonesia, Jordan, Kosovo, Mongolia, Morocco, Pakistan, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Uzbekistan.
Notably absent from the address were any European countries amid reports that Vladimir Putin had been invited to join.
Europe and Asia are not separate continents.
A continent is a continuous piece of land. Those are only considered separate because certain folks don’t want to mingle.
A continent is a relatively arbitrary cultural and historical definition, which even varies from region to region.
There are several definitions for continent. Some go by tectonic plates, some land masses, etc. as many as seven or as few as four.
What is the definition required for Europe and Asia to be separate continents?
Literally common opinion? Seriously since when has China or Japan ever thought themselves continental brethren with France and Britain?
You’re discounting logic because a land mass that does not have opinions does not hold that opinion? I did not know that you base all your opinions on a person whatever the singular opinion of a person named China and/or Japan.
The Ural Mountain Range
So how many continents are there? What are they?
A quite impenetrable mountain range from coast to coast is probably what contributed to the distinction historically.
Usually political definitions.
