Donald Trump has said it would be “an honor” take Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado’s Nobel Peace Prize if she offered it to him, as he prepares to meet the exiled politician next week.
Machado has been in hiding due to persistent threats on her life, emerging only briefly in Oslo after a three-day mission in which she was smuggled out of the country with the help of the U.S. military for the Nobel ceremony.
It’s fair to say that if that happens, the whole Nobel Peace Prize thing will become worthless.
It already was when they gave it to Obama while he was drone striking civilians.
I mean, any US president winning it would invalidate it.
It wasn’t giving it to Kissinger for his work on the Vietnam war that did it for you?
Hell, they gave it to Henry fucking Kissinger.
It became worthless in 1973 when they awarded it to Henry Kissinger
Kissinger was a war mongering piece of shit. Untold number of people died horribly violent deaths because of him. Small pox is more deserving of a peace prize than Kissinger, because at least it kills everyone equally. Kissinger targeted the poorest and most vulnerable
I look forward to someday pissing on his grave
Well the fact that they gave her one of the first place means it’s kind of worthless, hell they gave one to Kissinger. It’s always been worthless.
Giving up a peace prize to end a war sounds eligability for a new peace prize.
