- Gud 2y agoThey absolutely will not give it to Trump. If anyone will get it, it will be the people of Ukraine.
- jajko 2y agoDude 'nobel' peace prize has nothing to do with actual scientific Nobel prices as they were originally intended, its highly political medal for various political stances and activism dobe by very different people. The list of its recipients with properly shameful past ain't short neither and I don't recall a single one recently which wasn't somehow controversial to put it mildly.
- dagss 2y agoAs a Norwegian ... the odds of a committee formed in Norway to select Trump for the peace prize is just zero.
- geysersam 2y agoI didn't say that. I said their border with Russia doesn't influence that decision.
- echoangle 2y agoBut why wouldn’t it? It seems sensible that Norwegians are more concerned with Russian aggression than the average westerner, so they would also disapprove more of trump, no?
- dmos62 2y agoWhy?
- dagss 2y agoThe committee selecting the winner is formed of Norwegians. Norwegians "average worldview" and sources of information therefore affects who gets the prize.
