The award goes to the person or organisation that's done the most "for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses"
So, explain to me how they think that the guy who single-handedly changed the name of the Dept of DEFENSE to the Dept of WAR, fits that description? Did they think that the Nobel committee wouldn't hear about that? Or care?
More likely, it NEVER occurred to them that it might send a mixed message to the world. Intimidating the entire planet into obedience because they are afraid that America will literally destroy their country, or even the world, is NOT Peace.
Seriously, the naked stupidity of these people is truly astounding.
I love that it went to a Venezuelan, one of his favorite Hate Targets. They're probably all whining that she runs that gang they're always crying about.
Oh, no, he would have happily taken it, and crowed about how it was always meant for him anyway, because he deserved it more than anyone, and he would have actually believed it. Remember when he took that wounded soldier's Purple Heart, because "I've always wanted one of these?"
I hadn't heard that they gave it to someone else until I read your post.
That's hilarious. Any day that Trump is unhappy is a good day. I love to see unhappy billionaires because they always thought their money would make them happy, and it doesn't. Their solution is that they'll finally be happy if they have even more.
Now we're going to have to hear him cry about it for the next year, like the world-class sore loser that he is. He'll probably try to get his followers to storm the Nobel HQ.
The bright side is that maybe he'll go around settling wars and conflicts around the world. Maybe we can steer his naked ambition to do some good.
"But amid the naked ambition behind Trump’s push for peace in Gaza, even those who have been highly critical of the war have hailed the deal as a major achievement."
It seems like they are celebrating too early. Getting the hostages back doesn't end the war. Once the hostages are returned, they'll go right back to genocide.
Oh, well, maybe they'll remember him next year.
Then he's going to throw such a tantrum for the next year...
Trump did nearly the same thing with some young injured military guy's Purple Heart. Trump told him much he admired it, obviously fishing, so the guy offered it to Trump, probably never imagining that Trump would actually take it.
Instead, Trump said "I've always wanted one of these!" And kept it.
Yeah, like they're going to give the Peace Prize to the guy that renamed the Department of Defense, the Department of WAR. Hard to imagine a worse mixed message.
AI is coming along at the perfect times for these jackals, and as we got closer and closer, through deep fakes, etc., we all knew who would be the first side to abuse it for its political propaganda power. They even knew it, they could hardly wait for the tech to catch up to their nefarious requirements.
It's literally the history of both South/ Central America, and Africa.
Like those cheap banana prices? you can thank the CIA for that.
