Greta Thumberg was the one who deserved it imo but I can see the point of giving the prize to Mrs.Machado
It's an attempt to legitimize an attack on venezuela.
The peace prize is unfortunately used to promote war.
Yep, same reason they gave it to Kissinger and other war criminals, the "Peace Prize" is whatever benefits western imperialism the most, generally.
I can't. She's a puppet for Washington. An heiress of the Venezuelan oligarchic elite whose only intention is to destabilize the government so she and her cronies can sell off Venezuela's natural resources, notably oil, while cutting public services and pocketing the cash for themselves.
This is literally just "Maduro bad, opposition good." This is like putting a healthcare CEO's granddaughter up in the US as we've only begun to recover, 25 years after removing Trump from power, and a powerful enemy state; let's say Russia; sabotaging any recovery, pointing at the results of their sabotage as proof recovery has failed, and awarding Ms. Thompson numerous prizes and recognition for being hated by the public and rightfully prevented from holding power. And that's to say nothing of whatever leader would actually be in power in that scenario.
Wasn't Médecines Sans Frontières nominated as well?
Much more deserving, along with Greta and the rest of the Flotilla.
They are seriously one of the few large organizations I still donate to.
They also won the 1999 prize, and are famously the peace prize winner who were bombed by another peace prize winner in 2015 (Barack Obama).
She asked the US and Israel to invade and bomb Venezuela... I can see the point of giving her the prize, but it's not in the name of peace.
I can't see the point of giving her the prize, she's asking the US Empire to overthrow a democratically elected government trying to establish a socialist system.
The point is to manufacture consent for violent regime change.
Oh, gotcha, then I agree. Thought you were saying you supported giving the prize to that fascist.
Yes ofc,that was the point I was thinking of, she's a zionist
