Not for you know actual peace, but because AIDS funding. :mission-accomplished:

Obama got one for just getting elected so why the fuck not rip off any pretense of the Nobel Peace Prize and :unlimited-power: complete the circle of rehabilitation of the Project for a New American Century.

:mission-accomplished-1: :mission-accomplished-2: .

Note this is just an opinion piece. The goul hasn't gotten it yet.

    the war in Afghanistan to eliminate al-Qaeda, and the more questionable war in Iraq.

    Um what?? They were both fully unjustified! :kermit-pain:

    The western urge to normalize imperialism

    Who would be the funniest recipient? The price hasn't been something to respect at any point in my lifetime, but what would be the most wildly inappropriate person to give it to? Bush is up there, but I think it would be funnier to give it to Trump. Not because Trump is worse, but because he hasn't faded from public view as much. Funnier still would be if the committee decided to award the price to themselves, with some explanation about how the competition to be the most peaceful that they have fostered has done more for peace in the world than any other single group or person. The most funny thing that might actually happen is them coming up with a reason to give it to Zelensky.

      He'll get it, no doubt. Time person of The Year is only the beginning of the Cavalcade of the Absolute Dumbest Shit Ever©

        The saddest thing about the Times Person of the Year is that nobody born after 2006 can claim "Its not a big deal, even I was Times Person of the Year once."

      "The Nobel Committee is proud to announce that they are awarding Nobel Peace Prizes to every member of the @AzovBattalion for standing up against Putler's violent aggression. They are the new White Rose #Resistance"

    An eldritch being currently borrowing the face of a catgirl has informed me that many recipients of the Peace Prize are war criminals, so this isn't super surprising.

    Why the fuck not. The US president being able to openly threaten anyone with war crimes, while the enemy is fully aware that the US president can do it and get away with it, is one of the main features of the US empire. We should start giving them medals, like that captain who shot down the Iranian passenger jet.

    Nobel peace prize doesn't mean shit since they refused to give one to Gandhi because he challenged western colonialism. I don't even love Gandhi, but it revealed that the prize was just a meaningless award to white people to feel good about themselves.

      Gandhi = bad

      Kissinger = good

      Maybe if Gandhi waged a campaign of indiscriminate bombing and mass killings, he'd have received a peace prize.

    Eh...at this point maybe this would be a good thing in that its another example to point to what a joke and farce the whole thing is? Just blow up it's legitimacy.
