Absolute sham of a system that needs to be revised. There's several qualified candidates who would be much better than MBS and they're being disqualified on a technicality

Trump is never winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

In addition to praising María Corina Machado action for democracy, #Nobel Committee included these powerful words in its announcement.

"We live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence."

www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace...

Excerpt of the Nobel announcement. It says "Democracy is a precondition for lasting peace. However, we live in a world where democracy is in retreat, where more and more authoritarian regimes are challenging norms and resorting to violence. The Venezuelan regime’s rigid hold on power and its repression of the population are not unique in the world. We see the same trends globally: rule of law abused by those in control, free media silenced, critics imprisoned, and societies pushed towards authoritarian rule and militarisation. In 2024, more elections were held than ever before, but fewer and fewer are free and fair."

Maria Corina Machado wins the Nobel Peace prize for her efforts to support democracy in her country of Venezuela. A triumph of good over evil, on many levels.

Steve Clarke (not Karl Marx) paired with the quote "We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall make no excuses for the terrorball."
