Newsweek ^ | March 18th, 2022 | Brendan Cole

"Although we are aware that this is a break with procedure, we do believe it is justified by the current unprecedented situation," said the letter signed by 36 past and present politicians from the Netherlands, U.K., Germany, Sweden, Estonia, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia.

Arafat, Jimmy Carter, the UN, and Mandela all received the Nobel Peace Prize.
It’s a steaming pile of dung.

Yes. But at least with those four examples there was some actual action that took place that led them to be considered.

Neither of the two leader's are blameless in this skirmish. For now it does not qualify as a war, but there has been skirmish issues for the past 8 years in Eastern Ukraine.

Maybe they should give the peace prize to the Neo-Nazis in Eastern Ukraine.

That’s just dumb. If someone would like to give him (and Ukraine) a self-defense prize, that would be appropriate.

“Ukraine NWO stooges?”

Explains the media propaganda blitz intended to keep them from losing. I wish everyone here was against the NWO, but I guess not.

I don’t know about the Nobel Peace Prize, but at least every member of the Pooty fan club should make him an honorary godfather of their children and grandchildren.

OH PLEASE! The insane hysteria is now totally out of control. I hate the way some people get swept away by the fad du jour and reveal their inner insanity.

The early 21st Century is shaping up to be the age of “rule of feeling” rather than “rule of law”. Laws mean nothing, rules mean nothing, contracts mean nothing. Fanned by the media pushing an agenda, the emotion of the moment is everything.
