An independent group with virtually unchecked power and no consequences.

The US institute of Pease doesn't have "Unchecked power" they have basically no power. They report to congress, and that's all. Report. They write a bunch of them.

The USIP also trains diplomats in conflict resolution and de-escalation.

The thing is, they had been working in, and with, Ukraine to provide congress with accurate reports on Russia's invasion. This accurately paints Putin as committing a bunch of war crimes, and being an aggressor who will violate every cease fire until he either wins or is driven out of the country completely, in which case he will regroup, rearm, and likely attack again.

As long as Putin is in power, Europe isn't safe. Especially now that Putin has a puppet in charge of the US.

And that's why that puppet ordered the illegal break-in.

They were talking about the US Institute of Peace being the independent group, not DOGE.
