It appears that things are happening wrt a cease-fire in Ukraine.
Is it that Biden thought that Ukraine could defeat Russia on the battlefield, given enough resources? And that Zelensky realized that he will never gain a military resolution without US support, so he’s going to take the best deal he can get?
And god forbid that the Nobel committee would see Trump’s role as worthy of consideration for a Nobel Peace Prize, but I’m sure it will be discussed. I will literally puke.
Ukraine can never “defeat” Russia but, as happened to the USSR in Afghanistan and the US in Afghanistan and the US in Vietnam and Korea it can happen that it is just too much expense and trouble to keep fighting so the locals “win” when the invaders give up.
I doubt Ukraine will ever get their lost territory back though.
I do not see how that makes Trump “Nobel worthy.” Of course, the Nobel committee can do whatever they want. I didn’t think Obama was Nobel worthy either.
The corollary is that when anyone else is named, The Tan Conman will hrumph and fume that he’s being cheated because those ingrate Swedes always hated him for no reason.
Fortunately, I think it’s too late to nominate Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize this year. But not too late for someone to have already nominated Joe Biden, which I am hoping someone did, just to see Trump’s head explode were Biden to win.
Given all his other reprehensible actions just two months into his disastrous administration filled with criminals and yokels, given his pressure tactics against Ukraine, including voting with Russia against a UN resolution condemning the Russian invasion, and given his obsequious relationship with Putin which guarantees that any ceasefire will be entirely in Russia’s favour (and probably short-lived), I make the following prediction:
The Orange Felon will get the Nobel Peace Prize at about the same time that a flock of pigs flies overhead in a graceful formation while singing a vivacious rendition of a da capo aria from Handel’s Messiah. And not a moment sooner.
It’s basically absolutely guaranteed that Trump, and Biden, and Zelenskyy, and Putin, have all been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s really easy to be nominated for a Nobel. The list of people eligible to nominate someone for the Nobel Peace Prize includes any member of the legislature or cabinet-equivalent body of any nation, and any college professor of political science, ethics, philosophy, or sociology. Nominations mean nothing (and keep that in mind when Republicans start talking about how Trump’s been nominated, because you can be sure they will).
If Trump gets a Nobel for a ceasefire that is nothing but a blatant cover to let Russia kill and maim at will, it ought to permanently destroy the credibility of the Nobel committee.
