Bolduc Brief: The Redundancy of a Trump Administration Board of Peace
The proposed “Board of Peace” exemplifies political posturing and bureaucratic redundancy, reflecting a lack of humility and genuine commitment to collaboration while undermining the proven capabilities of institutions like the United Nations.
Bolduc Brief: Concerns About the Structure and Intent of the Proposed Board of Peace
The proposed Board of Peace is a power-driven, misguided initiative that undermines institutions and risks the principles needed for lasting peace.
Bolduc Brief: A Reckless Move – Tariffs and the Greenland Controversy
Tariffs over Greenland spark backlash as critics warn Trump’s hardline move risks alienating allies and unraveling decades of US diplomacy.
Bolduc Brief: The Arctic Strategy: The Need for a Nuclear Icebreaker Fleet
If the Trump administration is serious about protecting U.S. interests in the Arctic, it should stop relying on rhetoric about Greenland and instead invest in a nuclear icebreaker fleet that provides real access, credible presence, and strategic leadership in a rapidly opening region.
Bolduc Brief: The Implications of the Trump Administration’s Rhetoric Toward Greenland: A Flawed Foreign Policy Approach
The Trump administration’s saber-rattling and tariff threats toward Greenland are a short-sighted, politically driven approach that lacks public and congressional support, risks undermining NATO and U.S. credibility, and could hand China and Russia an opening while alienating the very allies and partners America needs.
The Bolduc Brief: The Impact of the Trump Administration’s Greenland Policy on NATO, Global Divisiveness, and Geopolitical Power Dynamics

The Bolduc Brief: Navigating the Complexities of International Relations – A Critical Examination of U.S. Interventionism and the Role of Power Dynamics
America cannot keep treating leader-removal as a substitute for strategy, because without an end state that pairs disciplined special operations capability with sustained diplomatic and development pressure, we do not dismantle the threat, we simply rearrange it.
The Bolduc Brief: Revisiting the Principles of Non-Intervention in U.S. Foreign Policy
America does not need another open-ended deployment sold as “leadership” while Congress stays on the sidelines and the mission drifts, because every time we trade clear strategy and accountability for vague promises abroad, we weaken the Republic at home.
The Bolduc Brief: The Perils of U.S. Foreign Policy in the Western Hemisphere – A Call for Reflection
If America wants to lead in the Western Hemisphere, it should stop treating sovereignty like an obstacle and start treating diplomacy, law, and partner-led stability as the mission.
The Bolduc Brief: The Consequences of Unilateral Foreign Policy Decisions in the Trump Era
Bolduc’s point is simple: when you rip up deals, yank forces, and treat alliances like vending machines, you do not get to walk away clean, because the mess you leave behind still has “Made in America” stamped on it.
