Venezuelan opposition leader and Nobel Prize winner Maria Corina Machado said military escalation is the “only” way to remove authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro from power.
“The increase in pressure and the escalation that’s taken place is the only way to force Maduro to understand that it’s time to go,” and “facilitate a peaceful and orderly transition,” Machado told Bloomberg.
The comments come as the Trump administration has reportedly made the decision to strike military facilities inside Venezuela, with attacks potentially taking place at any time.
This is sick and the Nobel Prize Committee should be deeply ashamed.
In more objective fields such as STEM, the Nobel prizes are genuine. The only outlier is the peace prize for more obvious reasons.
I hate to break it to you, but the Nobel Prize was started by a guy who invented military weapons and has always been somewhat of a sham. It’d be like Lockheed Martin peace prize.
Disgusting war propagandist inperialist stooge.
“Nobel Peace Prize” winner
Anticommunists in 1948: The commies think war is peace!!!
Anticommunists in 2025: War has always been peace, actually.
This pretty unambiguously should disqualify her from a Nobel Peace Prize, even to people who are sceptical of the anti-West narratives.
The notion that an award given by a comitte arbitrarily chosen by the norwegian goverment is in any way a legit award is truly mindblowing.
wow those nobel guys really know their stuff 🥱
Evidently military escalation is peaceful and orderly.
Thanks Nobel committee! You really introduced us to a great thinker.
It was appeasement. They knew damn well they couldn’t give it to Trump so they gave it to her to keep the CIA off their backs.
Unfortunately for Norway it will only be a temporary fix. As the Arctic sea ice melts a new shipping lane opens up between Russia/China and Europe which the US will seek to control.
They might as well have just given it to Trump. They’ve destroyed their credibility worse than it already was.
It has been pretty low for decades already.
Yeah, hence, worse than it already was.
They gave it to Barack “drone em all” Obama too.
They always seem to give their prize to someone who advocates for the empire. Even those who call for crushing sanctions against the citizens of their own country.
There have been some truly despicable recipients, but I don’t think any of them publicly craved it with the crass vulgarity that Trump did.
I can’t help but think that at least part of that was to test Norway’s loyalty to the empire.
