Notice what they said: This year's peace prize is being given to someone for transitioning a country from dictatorship to democracy. They sure as hell aren't going to give it to someone doing the opposite!

- pydry 1y agoThey certainly wouldnt have given it to Hugo Chavez in 2002 when he overcame the American backed anti democratic coup to overthrow him. Dissidents in countries which are enemies of the west? With enormous oil reserves? With an American fleet poised offshore ready for regime change? Definitely. Who are zionists to boot? Even better. Dissidents in brutal, dictatorial countries (e.g. Saudi) which are allies? Hell no. Never. The nobel prize is a tool of statecraft and that would be a self defeating use of its PR potential to advance western foreign policy goals.
- mrtksn 1y agoTo be honest, only Donald Trump takes seriously the Nobel Peace price. He cares because Obama got one, no one else cares because Obama got one. Actually its not limited to Obama, its whole history is ridden with scandals, definitely a far cry from the Nobel prizes in natural sciences.
