    The Nobel committee should maybe not accept nominations from an accused ICC war criminal

      If they do and Trump gets it, we know how far the far right has compromised Europe. It’s a coup in slow motion so it’s good to know at which point we are right now.

        Yeah, of course he’s guilty. I’m saying the accusation should be enough and they shouldn’t have to wait for him to be convicted. But either way they should establish a policy around it.

    I friend of mine is a Nobel Prize nominee. It’s not hard: all it takes is someone with vaguely convincing creds to write a letter to nominate you.

    In his case, he asked a University teacher friend of his to write the letter. And just like that, he was nominated. He’d been putting “Nobel Prize nominee” on his resume to impress potential employers for decades.

        He’s a head of state. That automatically qualifies him to nominate people.

        Of course, the Nobel committee is also perfectly free to say “This nomination of a fucking fascist by a fucking genocidal maniac…Should we do a Kissinger again or shall we just close the file and go have a beer instead?”

    Never forget that Kissinger got the 1973 peace prize…

    Obama got it in 2009, shortly after him starting his first term, not for anything he had done but to try and “strengthen” him.

    The peace prize is a joke.

    Netanyahu: “He deserves a peace prize because he loves a good genocide like I do! He’s not some pussy like Biden who enables it but pretends he doesn’t like it!”
