Ah, I see it was briefly mentioned but the follow-up would be “what extraordinary efforts?”
The AI brought up Obama on its own, which was good, but I had other more focused topics to delve into, and Obama would have been a distraction. The committee's rewarding of the prize to Obama fit the conclusion that the Nobel Committee was rewarding European style standards of diplomacy, and that was all that I needed from the Obama example.
As of now, Machado is in hiding, encouraging the resistance from underground. Trump is engaging in literal gunboat diplomacy with Venezuala right now. He's probably softening up Maduro for a larger hemisphere engagement later. The Nobel Committee is rewarding Machado's tenacity, if not her results to-date.
