No disrespect to the winners that are actually good, but most of these kinds of prizes at least try to pretend to be impartial, unlike this one. The peace prize comitee is literally just five retired Norwegian politicians directly appointed by the Norwegian parliament. How are these politicians in anyway suited to award a peace prize when they enthusiastically support and participate in every single nato invasion and bombing? Why the fuck do people care about this prize lmao.

    The 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to United States President Barack Obama for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".[1]

    Obama accepted the prize in Oslo on December 10, 2009. In a 36-minute speech, he discussed the tensions between war and peace and the idea of a "just war"[5] saying, "perhaps the most profound issue surrounding my receipt of this prize is the fact that I am the Commander-in-Chief of the military of a nation in the midst of two wars."[6] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Nobel_Peace_Prize

    Lol when even the guy getting the award doesn't get it either.
