In https://twitter.com/ringo_ring/status/1414342378765307907 https://twitter.com/ringo_ring/status/1414342378765307907 she jokingly asks where her Nobel Peace Prize is. Given how often that prize is given out as a bully pulpit to advance a cause, and given the global debt that science owes to her, I think she really does deserve one.

It's become a prize of the political establishment though (why did Kissenger and Obama get one?) - there is no way they'd give out such a controversial one these days.

She needs to step it up by killing thousands of innocent people from drone strikes to increase her chances.

  Or start a war with her own citizens and use hunger as a weapon by destroying infrastructure, farming equipment and blocking foreign aid, creating a famine among millions.

    Ethiopian PM choice was really the most stupid thinf they did with the peace prize.

      Once they started using it as a political tool to say “we support this persons policies”. I’m happy that they continue to have a near perfect record of terrible winners. It makes it clear if you win the Nobel Peace Prize you’re likely not as good as you thought.

For a woman in the similar age, I would say she is more deserving of Nobel Peace Prize than Malala Yousafzai. The risk that Malala takes in advocating for women right in Islamic countries is admirable, there is no denying in that. However, her impact are minuscule compared to Alexandra's in the big picture of progression as a human race. Malala's activism has not changed much on the course of women right in the countries where religion governs the lives from family to governance.

  You do not need to uplift one impactful woman by putting down another.
