@w7voa If he gets the prize the value will drop to shit and will not be worth more than the dirt under my fingernails.

This will send the message "See, anyone with the ability to almost stand upright can get it. Don't mind the weapon deliveries to the regime committing genocide in the first place. Oh, he's a criminal? Never mind that."

I just hope the Nobel committee is smarter than this and doesn't listen to nutheads and warmongers.

You talking about trump, or Obama?

https://harvardpolitics.com/obama-war-criminal/ - Obama is an average warmonger.

https://www.cjr.org/criticism/barack_obamas_press_freedom_legacy.php - Obama used espionage act more than all previous presidents combined, against journalists.

But yeah, the bar was already low.

Barack Obama Is A War Criminal - Harvard Political Review

President Obama is not a pioneer of the illegal and offensive wars that the United States has engaged in during the last 20 years. But the use of drone strikes under his administration make him an international war criminal.

Wasn't a fan of Obama in that regard either. Also, Guantanamo Bay is still open.

Yep, and he said he was going to shut it down.

Instead, he doubled down on sending people to his gulag.
