Yes it is sad that the whole Nobel prize coverage will be just a background to a week talking about Trump, whether he wins or not :(
Yeah its weird how he explicitly states he wants a peace prize and then turns around and does very hellish things, rips up Aid programs, impose one sided tariffs without caring about your allies, belittle a president desperately trying to fight for his countries sovereignty, mafia style negotiations for said country minerals without a security guarantee in order to send weapons, trash nato allies repeatedly, taunt allies that you wont honor security guarantees if they dont do x , remove historical names for no good reason from various government objects , alienate out entire class of people with your rhetoric while using a platform thats supposed to be bipartisan, deport & arrest people while bypassing judges as much as you can
Ugh giving me flashbacks to the “the office will change him” arguments. Can’t believe people actually said that out loud.
If he somehow got the peace prize as he balloons a department sneaking around in plain clothes with their faces covered rounding people up at work and terrifying/ripping families apart then the prize is truly a joke. Luckily there’s no way he’s getting it.
This is a misleading miscapitalisation. USAID isn't about aid. It's about "international development" - i.e. soft power in ideologically contested nations.
Instead of celebrating the winners, some people just want to complain.
Well.. assuming the winner isn't a war criminal we can celebrate at least :P
It is possible, however, that it's different people each year having roughly the same conversation.
But this is true of many topics.
