  • Donald Trump got an honorable mention but didn't feature in the placings. I suppose he will claim that the voting panel are all leftists, considering he's such a gracious loser.

  • Congratulations, you turned this into a Trump discussion on post two.  Well done. 

  • What? She's in hiding. Maduro wants her killed. How on earth does this make my comment wishing her ill? I literally said "Let's hope she has a long life to enjoy it." Get a grip. BTW my comment has no

Remember this? 

 

Obama

Perception isn't the only problem. We would do well to remember the 67-year-old grandmother killed by a drone while picking vegetables in her garden in Pakistan. Or the 16-year-old American boy blown up while eating dinner outdoors in Yemen. Or the 10-year-old Yemeni child who died in a CIA strike - only a few weeks after the president announced that drone missiles would not be fired unless there was a "near certainty" that no civilians would be killed.

 

Or this:

 

Biden

NEW YORK — Today marks the two-year anniversary of the U.S. drone strike in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed Zemari Ahmadi, an Afghan aid worker, and nine members of his family, including seven children. Mr. Ahmadi was employed by Nutrition and Education International (NEI), a U.S.-based humanitarian organization.

Have Interpol been alerted or are the Norwegian police keeping the investigation in-house?

That'd be like when Israel's IDF investigated the IDF bulldozing murder of Rachel Corrie. Verdict: Driver not to blame at all, Ms Corrie was reckless.

 

I'd trust the Norwegian Nobel Comittee to ignore ideology as much as I would trust Israel's IDF.

Brave but where's the peace effort?

 

She is trying to restore democracy in Venezuela, which under the rules of the Nobel Peace Prize counts as a peace-keeping effort.  The Nobel Peace Prize goes beyond settling of armed conflicts.  Maduro must be furious.  The last thing he wants is the world's attention focused on his dictatorship.  It would be hugely dangerous for her to attend the ceremony in Oslo, but maybe there is a way.

Indeed, the Trump obsessed spout off "it's a slap in the face for Trump", when in reality it's a slap in the face for Maduro.

Sure, but the president who executive ordered the drone strike execution of American citizens without trial walks away with a Nobel.

What a relief !...

Well, as I predicted correctly, there was never any real chance of that, with a socialist cesspool like Norway.

World Awaits Blowback as the Nobel Slips From Trump’s Hands

 

To Donald Trump, the announcement that the Nobel Peace Prize has once again been awarded to someone else risks registering as the latest ignominy in a lifetime of rejection by elites.

The question is how he might register that indignation.

An early indication came from White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung, who posted on X that the committee “proved they place politics over peace.”

Tell me why he should have got it today? Trump is not comparable to Obama, but it would had been as wrong Obama got it for nothing else than being a great example of a human being with great gifts as an visionary speaker. 

 

Trump advocates war on his own people

bombs suspected boats

bombed Iran 

started an world wide economic war

treath of invading and grab Greenland and also make Canada a new state. His verbal speeches alone is enough to not give him the peace price.

Well, we can all understand why Obama got it, despite doing nothing very much, he was the silver tongued black pop idol everyone wanted  to have a piece of his hair, but a man who fought hard to end the Israeli-Palestinian war and brought it to an end, who brought the Thai - Cambodian war to an end, the true, blessed, nobel peacemaker, Donald Trump, what does he get for his hard work as reward? Nothing.

 

It's typical of Norway's Nobel Peace Prize committee, we all know they issue the prize on politically correct guidelines, and we all know that's the only reason a nobody was chosen, because she is a woman.

 

The White House spokeswoman is exactly right, Ms Machado is a politician, she just did normal political things. The Nobel committee looked at politics, not peace.

 

It's a disgrace really.

 

Just as your comments about Trump's very laudable efforts to bring peace to his ravaged cities, where he too succeeded in pacifying ultra-left extremists who have killed, maimed and destroyed property, ie done what they always do.

 

The economic realignment of the US is hardly a war, just pursuit of self-interest.

 

And he never invaded Greenland, so let's take the false propaganda down a notch.

 

His testicles and white skin were enough to not give him the peace prize. And the fact that Norwegians are socialists of course, ie lefty warmbloods, especially the Nobel Committee.
