Honestly, the Nobel Foundation has done themselves and the Nobel Prize terrible damage. I, for one, am no longer interested in this sham of an award, or any of the other Nobel prizes. They should be ashamed that were stupid enough or corrupt enough to have given it to Machado in the first place, she was clearly no agent for peace. This just adds to that shame.

    Look at it from her side. She can "give" this narcissistic her award (which she actually can't) and the guy who holds the strings will be pleased and she gets her country back, peacefully.

    That's a great deal for her and Venezuela overall. She is playing him. It's tactful and tactical. And he's a pathetic toddler who only responds to praise and participation awards - what a sad sad sad person to have as leader. I hope MAGA sees how pathetic this is but I know they won't.

    She's not "trying to get her country back." For one, it doesn't belong to her but to all Venezuelans, the majority of which do not like her. In addition, she has spoken publicly at economic conferences about her plans to sell the rights to Venezuela's oil and other natural resources to US oil companies. She's playing a game here, but it's at the expense of Venezuelans, not for their benefit.

    The Foundation couldn't stop her from doing this, and as far as they're concerned, it's still hers. Physical possession is symbolic, and she knew it would get him to calm down. Cynical? Yes. But it if works...

    The Peace prize foundation has nothing to do with the scientific prizes.

    Also, as far as 'cucked' goes.

    It's an open secret in NYC that he divorced Marla [wife#2, Tiffany's mother] after he caught her with a member of his security team.

    He paid the guy who slept with his wife.

    Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun gave his Nobel Literature Prize medal to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels in 1943. A strong supporter of the Nazis, Hamsun was convicted of treason in 1947 and spent the rest of his life in mental institutions. It is not known what became of his medal.

    The worst part of this administration isn't all the crazy shit they're coming up with and implementing. It's all the people like this that are bending over backwards to appease him like a spoiled rich child that didn't get enough birthday presents and reinforcing the behavior.

    What a fucking joke, if this is real and not a shitpost, since the officials from “Nobel” denied her first attempt.

    It's real but it's as stupid as it can get.

    If tomorrow I meet a famous hollywood actor and they give me an Oscar statuette because I ask them for it, I still didn't win an Oscar. I just have a statuette of it, but I didn't win it.

    Same happens here, just because he has the medal doesn't mean he has won a nobel prize

    The medal is going to turn up in 100 years with a lot of tooth marks on it. Not marks from biting gold to see if it is legit. Tooth marks that suggest somebody thought it was full of chocolate.

    I doubt any Venezuelans are looking forward to her as their leader. The Norwegian prize committee should rescind the award.

    I'm going to preface with this with I know it's not actually going to happen this way so don't worry about replying to tell me how stupid it is, it's just a dream.

    How wonderful would it be if she coated the metal in anthrax (or some similar instant death substance that's super sneaky) and then stuck it in that stupid frame, knowing that they would check it for explosives but that Trump would want it so bad he wouldn't let them keep it for any long period of time and when he's hiding away in his room feeling cool about himself he opens it up and puts it on and then dies a fast but horrible death? I'd love that. Fast because I just want the fucker dead.

    After this bitch won the award, you cannot convince me the Nobel Committee isn't just a bunch of bourgeoisie Zionist pieces of shit.

    Wonder what he's going to do with his FIFA Peace Prize now. Omg, what a timeline we're on. I feel for the historians having to record this. It's so pathetic.
