American president angles for top diplomatic award while world watches his summit with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
This has to be an Onion piece. Surely…
“lol, no.” Jens Stoltenberg, probably.
Well the fact the drone bomber in chief won one makes Trump’s question far more reasonable. There are clearly zero standards.
I’d have gone with Kissinger personally
Obama met with lots of Middle Eastern leaders and signed many new agreements such as the JCPOA.
Drones were a pretty new capability and have only increased over time, in fact in the previous Trump term they removed the need for executive approval before drone strikes.
Trump also changed the rules of engagement to eliminate consideration of how to minimize noncombatant casualties when ordering a drone strike.
But still the Obama/drone meme remains a persistent bit of brainless propaganda.
Why are drone strikes worse than any other military action ordered by any other president? Collateral damage is less with drones than with artillery or aerial bombardment. And if you’re looking for sympathy for the US citizens who joined Al-Qaida and similar organizations to murder innocent people, you can find it in the dictionary between shit and syphilis, which those scumbags also richly deserve.
Dude is going to surrender Ukraine and claim to be a peacemaker, while sweetening the deal with a chunk of Alaska.
Why are no leaders playing him like a fiddle on this?
Ensure Russia ends the war with the same or less land than it started with and he’s a dead cert
Reality doesn’t matter to him so just string him along
And demand an award for how much better he is that anyone else at it.
My prediction is that Putin will offer him Alaska in exchange for Canada, and Trump will grab it, without considering that Alaska isn’t his to give away, nor is Canada Putin’s.
America for sale. Everything must go.
a perfect place for Putin to build a road and put tanks so that Putin and Trump can divide up Canada.
I don’t want it this way, since both Trump and Putin are total goobers, but it would be cool to have a rail and road bridge across the Bering Strait someday.
Can you at least give Canada a heads up when you start making it even easier for Trump and Putin to get our country from all sides at once? Thanks.
No, it wouldn’t. It would be a vector for Russia to attack America.
The single biggest advantage that the US has had is the built in moats called The Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
100%. Russia likes to control the countries on their borders, to act as a buffer against invasion. Better to defend you country on someone else’s soil, and destroy their assets. We use the oceans for the exact same thing.
That is, until he deliberately made enemies of those on our direct borders. Next he will want to control those countries, because he will feel it is very important to controlling the borders.
And all these ideas are coming from Putin. After their meeting, expect HitlerPig to start spouting all sorts of nonsensical concepts that would be terrible for us, but great for Putin.
Did you not read their first sentence?
Share a border crossing with Russia? No thanks.
If the three major world powers (America, China, and Russia) ever sort out their authoritarian governments, it’s be neat to take a train across the world to Beijing.
They put trains on boats in Italy
Might be simpler to take it across the Atlantic
It eats at him that Obama got one. He can’t stand it.
What a weird, desperate loser.
O come, blessed aneurysm!
I thought he didn’t care about the NPP
His envy of Obama knows no bounds.
And can I also be considered? I say many things on Lemmy! Is that something that can contribute? Alright, how much? $200? You want $200? Man I only got $5.50. Is that okay? I’ll get you back later man! C’mon! C’mon man! Peace price!
Anyone can be nominated, all you have to do is persuade some minor legislative assclown to put your name in.
Releasing the military upon his own people rubber stamps the award for him.
What a loser.
Smell the desperation.
Another zany episode in the Horror Annals of the monster Donvict Trumpepstein.
I just can’t imagine being so immune to shame that I call to nominate myself for the Nobel Peace prize. Especially if I had raped children and it was widely known.
He is mentally a four year old who has never progressed beyond the me, me, stage.
Yeah it’s like Trump isn’t psychologically human, he’s completely unrelatable.
He’s a bloated, walking Markov process of grievance, coated in bronzer, with a shitty rooster hairdo.
He’s a sociopath - just like the rest of billionaires. Having that much wealth, no matter how you got it, and keeping it, is already an act of great violence against many. But these people employ special psychologists and therapists to “get rid of” what’s left of their conscience. They’re essentially training themselves (and their children) to be psychopaths from a very young age. Even the ones who were actually born with something of a morality compass will have gotten rid of it by the time they need to step into the family company’s hierarchy.
I often call the Sociopathic Oligarchs, but I’m finding that more and more of them have graduated to being Psychopathic Oligarchs, including the Traitor-in-Chief.
His psychotic parents deliberately never instilled any sense of shame, guilt, consequences, empathy, etc. in him. He is a remarkably broken human, an actual psychological specimen. He should be locked up, and studied by scientists. Very few people have had an upbringing that was literally tailored to create a psychopath.
No no it was John Barron who called, not Trump.
That’s the one where he holds his nose and talks
Well Obama (not bad guy, but had not really done anything Nobel price worthy) and Kissinger (really bad guy who had no commitment for peace, guite opposite should it be opportune for his view of US foreign policy) got the price also. Soooo from that point of view it isn’t too crazy from Trump’s view to desire one.
Of course takes guite shamelessness to propose oneself of course, but yeah. Wouldn’t be even close to first time someone not deserving got Nobel peace price. Which is sad, since on the other hand very deserving people over the years have gotten it. Giving it to non deserving people diminishes the recognition it gives to the deserving ones.
The fact, that someone else as Trump even considered this, makes me ashamed to be human.
See if we can dig up Kissinger to present it to him.
Just another reason the conspiracy theory about Obama giving himself the prize is bullshit. Too many people would have to keep a secret with no incentive to do so.
