Does the Nobel peace prize have any credibility left?

[Lynx122]

They gave the peace prize to a woman who's openly supporting a U. S. regime change war in Venezuela. She's the puppet government that the U. S. plans to install so that they can steal the oil and the minerals from the people of Venezuela. And she gets rewarded for this. Of course no group of people is completely independent but this is unbelievable. She's using the peace prize to legitimize her calls for this regime change war. It's difficult to imagine a more disastrous choice.

It’s not like those resources or any profits from them are getting to “the people” of Venezuela anyway. The only reason she’s gaining traction has nothing to do with the Nobel prize. The people who supported socialism are suffering and they want a regime change as much as the US does. This is how “politics” is done. Everything is about power and wealth. If you have wealth, you can buy power. If you have power, you can become wealthy.
The Golden Rule: those who have the gold make the rules.
That’s why the people that benefit from “capitalism” are the same ones who benefit from “socialism”. There is no system that humans can’t corrupt with greed.

It's nothing but an award thrown out by a group of political activists.

Yes it's sad that it has such a big legacy that people are still influenced by it.

Scientific Noble prize is still something worth, political ones are worthless since warlord Obongo got the prize for peace.
Nevertheless even FIFA gives now prizes for peace. It's like an amazon of Wallmart badge.

LOL, of course I can imagine a more disastrous choice: Trump.

I'm not sure it ever had credibility in the first place

[Lynx122]

I don't know when I was a kid I wasn't paying attention to the political scheming behind the scenes.

It lost it a LONG time ago, assuming it ever had any in the first place

This year was a big disappointment in the Peace department. There weren't any good candidates. It still has validity in the Sciences.

No, it has been a joke ever since they gave it to Obama just for being black.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not exactly. They gave it to Gandhi and I'm told he was real asshole. They gave it to Barry Soetoro just for being the first half-black President. He didn't do SHIT to deserve it!!

[lightbulb27]

Noble... isn't that the guy that invented dynamite?

Peace through dynamite? Maybe we should give the prize to ukraine and russia?

[NathanDavis]

it never had any to begin with...

[Shiprex]

It's better her than Trumper

[Desi_Butcher]

None. Zero. Just a farce.

[Anonymous]

Nope, not any more, I think you're right.

[Paige90]

No... zero!
