Norway's stepping down the legitimacy of the prize following their maintenance of UK intellectual property trade they were granted. 'Too much cultural impact in one place,' or something.

Many of the UK interests responsible for arguing to have WW1 in international circles were based in Norway.
People should just start throwing the nobel peace prize in a trashcan. At least they didn't give it to a moldy cheetoh, but they did allow cheese-in-can to be nominated.
who? and what she done? is the regime of maduro gone? no it is not.

when somebody gets the price for decades of peacefull protest, suffering years of jail and than ending apartheid... we can see how that can be considered the crowning achievement for a lifelong mission that influences the lifes of MANY.

somebody that get rid of putins reign.. xi's reigh or kim's reign may also qualifi.

the prize NEVER was ment to be given to people still in the middle of their life and who have yet to do their grand opus (if ever)

but merely being just elected president (obama)
or now even merely being against a regime..

should not even CLOSE to being enough to be given something as prestigious as a nobel prize..
"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."

I'm not entirely sure you're talking about what the Nobel Prize is given for, but if it is, then I just read this:
With regard to the Peace Prize, the will of Alfred Nobel stipulated that it was to be awarded to the person "who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses". Over the course of time the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded in recognition of many different kinds of peace work and concepts of peace.

In the earliest years of the Peace Prize - up to World War I - the prize was often awarded to pioneers of the organized peace movement. In the inter-war years, the focus shifted to active politicians who sought to promote international peace, stability and justice by means of diplomacy and international agreements, but prizes were also awarded for humanitarian work (Nansen, the League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).

Since World War II, the Peace Prize has principally been awarded to honour efforts in four main areas: arms control and disarmament, peace negotiation, democracy and human rights, and work aimed at creating a better organized and more peaceful world. In the 21st century the Nobel Committee has embraced efforts to limit the harm done by man-made climate change and threats to the environment as relevant to the Peace Prize.

Cant expect much from people who support a dictator.
Dont really take that price seroius, but the reaction of a certain guy will likely be very funny and potentially disturbing.

He really wanted it why idk lately he seems a bit confused
I’m sure this person deserves it more than he who shall not be named.

I would’ve opted for Greta Thunberg too.
