  • I don’t think the Nobel committee expected their award to precipitate armed intervention, which is the opposite of peace.

    Then they’re idiots and the prize itself is worthless. That was clear as day going to be the promoted result. If they just wanted to promote democracy they could have easily chosen an activist in a country not in the process of being attacked or an activist that wasn’t currently encouraging war.

    I don’t give them the benefit of assumed stupidity. I think they were neoliberals who were particularly concerned by the nationalized industries in Venezuela and who thought even if they found him abhorrent Trump could be a good tool to help set the imperialist-capitalist world back arright.
