María Corina Machado, the far-right Venezuelan coup leader who won the Nobel Peace Prize, vowed "massive privatization", offering to sell off $1.7 trillion of her nation's resources to US corporations
The 2012 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the European Union (EU) (founded in 1958) “for over six decades [having] contributed to the advancement of peace and reconciliation, democracy and human rights in Europe” by a unanimous decision of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Kissinger won in '73, right after the bombing of Cambodia. Obama in '09 as he was gassing up the jets to level Libya and butcher Afghans for another eight years. Yasser Arafat, Shimon Peres and Yitzakh Rabin - three avowed terrorists - all got the prize in 1994 shortly before they fell back into their low-grade civil war. Kofi Annan and the UN won in 2001, seven years into running the phenomenally corrupt “Oil for Food” program used to loot Iraq.
Oh sure. Hillary and Sarkozy suckered him into it. But that’s half the problem with Obama. Whether its Larry Summers or Joe Biden or Rick Warren or Elon Musk, there’s always some rich white asshole by his side, dangling a million dollar speaking tour over his head and leading him like a rented mule.
They gave Kissinger a peace prize so it was already a joke tbh. I would take it as a slight to receive one.

That is a bigger joke.

It’s a bad award for bad people.
Obama got the peace prize for literally not being W. Bush. No other reason.
Obama fans don’t like hearing about how bad he was.
Crazy how Bush was so hated in 2009 that just not being him would win you the Nobel prize, and now he’s a darling to American liberals
Libya was a NATO led venture. That can’t be pinned on solely Obama.

It can be on hrc.
