A campaign group seeking a global ban on nuclear arms won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, given the award by a Nobel Committee that cited the spread of weapons to North Korea and said the risk was growing of nuclear war.

So much for the Nobel Peace Prize rewarding ACTUAL peace, now it’s just about slideshows & lectures.

Propping up front groups “peace” is nothing new for the Left.

ICAN,, UCAN, WEALLCAN..

Nobel would blow his top if he saw the waste he had wrought on the world and how so many had exploited his efforts for political ends.

Whenever people tell me to visualize a world without nuclear weapons I tell them I don’t have to. I just need to read a history of World War I.
