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.
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.
