Honestly it was like

This just in: The prize went to a democracy activist, not the guy murdering random people in the Caribbean Sea

[Touches earpiece]

The democracy activist says they're glad the guy murdered random people in the Caribbean Sea. Now they're dedicating the prize to the murder guy.

The nice thing about having such a dark imagination is that it makes living through nightmares relatively easy.

Here is Machado in December of 2018 appealing to Netanyahu for help “dismantling” the Maduro government:

Argentina, and to @netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, to ask them to apply their strength and influence to advance in the dismantling of the criminal Venezuelan regime, intimately linked to drug trafficking and terrorism.

La población de Venezuela necesita protección internacional contra el ataque generalizado y sistemático al cual la somete el régimen venezolano.

Ha sido ésta la base para que nueve estados, entre ellos la Argentina, denunciaran al régimen ante dicha instancia internacional. Agradecemos profundamente esta gestión, la cual es determinante para el desenlace de la tragedia venezolana.
Cabe resaltar que no es solamente nuestra población la que está sufriendo el ataque generalizado y sistemático del actual régimen. Su naturaleza criminal, estrechamente ligada al narcotráfico y al terrorismo, representa una amenaza real para otros países, entre ellos, y muy especialmente, para Israel. El actual régimen, que mantiene secuestradas las facultades de gobierno en Venezuela exhibe su estrecha colaboración con Irán y grupos extremistas, que como todos sabemos, amenazan a Israel de forma existencial y han actuado en territorio argentino. Las tragedias del antisemitismo que se vivieron en la AMIA en 1994 resuenan todavía en el continente, y sus ecos llegan hasta nuestro país.

Here is Trump in January calling Machado a “democracy activist” and warning Maduro not to harm her:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump • January 9, 2025,
5:14 PM
Venezuelan democracy activist Maria Corina Machado and President-elect Gonzalez are peacefully expressing the voices and the WILL of the Venezuelan people with hundreds of thousands of people demonstrating against the regime.
The great Venezuelan American community in the United States overwhelmingly support a free Venezuela, and strongly supported me. These freedom fighters should not be harmed, and MUST stay SAFE and ALIVE!

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

For context, several thousand US military personnel have rotated through Israel during this genocide. Whether THAAD battery personnel or working on the JLOTS (the "pier") or helping build out Israeli Air Force bases, our boys have been involved in the day to day operation of the genocide machine

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.
