New York Times: Nobel prize Prize being given to warmongers

And less than a year after receiving the award, Abiy Ahmed, the president of Ethiopia, embarked on a scorched-earth campaign in his country’s Tigray region that left hundreds of thousands dead, wounded and starving. Henry Kissinger and Lê Đức Thọ were awarded the prize before a cease-fire to end the Vietnam War broke down, with Mr. Kissinger ultimately trying to return the prize amid a wave of protests. His North Vietnamese counterpart rejected it outright.

Let’s leave aside the fact that Corina Machado did nothing to promote peace. She protested the fact that Nicolas Mandura stole the elections from her That’s not peace. That’s pointing out fraud.

Now, after receiving the price unfairly, she doesn’t even want it, and is trying to give it to a man who stole Venezuelan oil and is going to steal the entire Greenland. The same guy who cheered the death of René Good.

Nobody should pay attention to the Nobel committee and the Nobel prize anymore.
