He's not and he won't. He no longer has the mental capacity for that kind of planning, he never displayed it before he went senile. Plus he's a coward.

The nobel comittee literally did they frown upon people campaigning for it. And they talk about such actions when considering it. So there’s that.
And not to be weird but they kinda learned their lesson giving Obama one without just cause. Kinda fueled this fire a bit.
I’ll be astounded if he gets an award from the nobel comittee.

I think Obama got it simply for not being George W Bush, imperial war monger of international note.

Which is weird because he was also an imperial war monger of international note.

This. You shouldn’t get one if you asked for it.
TheDoozer@lemmy.world 5 days ago
…okay.
Maybe… don’t draw attention to it. Let this one slide. Give him a win. Let’s not make fun of him for doing a good thing, even if it’s for a silly reason. Hell, if it ends the Russia/Ukraine war with no loss of land for Ukraine (I would argue, best case scenario), and they want to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, let him have it. Remember, Kissinger got one, it’s not like it’s meant anything for a loooooong time.
Take what you can get.

This. Winning the peace prize doesn’t mean you’re a saint, it means you’ve further world peace. Most things in politics are so complex and involve so many different actors and factions that it’s impossible to really boil stuff down and know whether the motivations are ‘worthy’. Most peace is achieved by international arrangements that make it more attractive for decision-makers to choose peace over war, often for very selfish reasons.
I was completely opposed to anyone winning one for the recent change in Isreal / Palestine, because until we see the fallout from it I’m skeptical any meaningful peace has been achieved. If Russia remove all their troops, and Ukraine is at peace, and Isreal are no longer genociding, then sure give him the peace prize. That’s the point of awards and shit, to make it tempting to do good even when it doesn’t immediately benefit you personally.

They can bukkake him with ribbons and medals until he looks like a North Korean general, guy is still a corrupt braindead pedo and deserves no respect. I won’t complain about him supporting Ukraine to push (what’s left of) the Russians back to Russia though.

We should play a prank on him. Give him dozens of medals. But have them awarded to him by The Onion, and they’re all filled with chocolate.

If trophies and honors are what he needs in order to do the right things then I’m down to gradually award him a whole EGOT over the next 3 years

Indeed. In a world run by pedophile nepotists, ALL trophies are participation trophies.

And if he does so, he arguably deserves it more than Machado, Obama or Kissinger.
decipher_jeanne@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days ago
Wait the fucking minute. Kissinger? Kissinger got a god damn peace prize…
My god he actually did get it for the Paris peace Accords, before what he did in Cambodia and South America became known.

I know, right.
That man was pure distilled evil.

Putin will talk to Trump for a few minutes and have him back in line. I’m sure Putin is getting frustrated about having to keep reminding him.

Renaming the department of defense the department of war is definitely going to win him the peace prize
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 5 days ago
I mean…he’s not wrong. See the thing about trump is, he’s doing so much random shit to distract you from the epstein files, that occasionally his actions technically fall into the catagory of something I can’t disagree with. Hate trump as a person. He’s officially surpassed reagan as most evil president we’ve ever had. But occasionally he stumbles into being right tbrough no fault/credit of his own. Broken clock and all that.
That being said, I don’t give a shit if it’s called D.O.D or D.O.W. I don’t care. Release the epstein files.

They still gave Obama his despite running two major wars (and not actually doing anything).

False. He was elected president while not white.
