The winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado
The award goes to the person or organisation that’s done the most “for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses”
US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award, but nominations closed in January - at the start of his second term in office
Trump will now threaten to take over Venezuela, hit Norway with 300% trade tariffs, and argue that the Nobel Prize means nothing at all whilst simultaneously saying its committee is a fraud and he actually won it.
Bookmarked! I want to see how accurate this becomes. That’s all he wanted so he can one up Obama.
And will also say that he’s never heard of this Alfred Nobel guy.
FYI, Machado is a far-right plant who’s championing the sanctions and US intervention in her country and every other nation that opposes imperialism. Notwithstanding her vocal and active support for far-right parties in Europe and LatAm.
Sounds about right for the institution who gave Kissinger a Peace Prize
She comes from one of the richest families in Venezuela, that owned large steel industry. The socialist government took them over.
Ah, unsurprisingly.
THIS ^^^^^^^
Oh wow, when you hover over Estonia in the list of countries represented in the first article, it’s a national broadcast article about Ruuben Kaalep, who somehow managed to get into parliament for one term.
Now I do not know many Estonian politicians closely, but about a decade ago, someone who was part of a group I was drinking with one evening, managed to invite him to join us. We promptly ditched both of them when he… spent quite a bit of time talking about how Hitler was doing the right thing. Ah, and the person who invited him? Became the next lead of the nazi youth group Kaalep used to lead before he went to parliament. I’m amazed she hasn’t gotten into parliament yet, since I remember her being dumb as a bag of rocks too, but I guess it was sexism, because I don’t recall EKRE having a lot of female parliament members usually - both the current ones are wives of prominent male party members.
Not particularly relevant perhaps, but hey, I’m still grossed out by the fact that nazis infiltrated my birthday.
This far right nepo baby doesn’t look like Greta at all.
Trump is gonna throw a temper tantrum
because it’s Friday?
Because it’s a day.
I hate this for Venezuela. Fuck the “Peace Prize”

The Nobel Peace Prize 2025 was awarded to Maria Corina Machado “for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.”
Last few words are almost like they’re thumbing the nose of one specific person.
And this from the press release:
In its long history, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has honoured brave women and men who have stood up to repression, who have carried the hope of freedom in prison cells, on the streets and in public squares, and who have shown by their actions that peaceful resistance can change the world. […]
When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognise courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist. Democracy depends on people who refuse to stay silent, who dare to step forward despite grave risk, and who remind us that freedom must never be taken for granted, but must always be defended – with words, with courage and with determination.
I expect Trump’s navy to murder more Venezuelans, in retaliation for that, over the next few months…

A suck up to Zionist neocons who will be a puppet if they regime change Venezuela. What a fucking joke.
giving a Venezuelan a bigger platform in times of US bullying, well played Norway
Not really she’s a far right POS, it further degrades the Nobel Peace Prize. Which IMO is worthless given they have it to Kissinger.
I believe peace prize should not be given to a single politician
Far right Trump fluffing toadie 🙄🙄🙄🙄
I’m sending the troops to Venezuela! I’m invading Nobel peace prize! 🫲🍊🫱
Yeah nominate him for Nobel prize of war. So much manlier
I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives himself a made up “president of peace prize”
I’m very relieved to hear that at least some people still have some spine.
It’s still just a bunch of politicians trying not to break an arm jerking themselves off.
He will have raged hard hearing the final results.
(Wasn’t eligible for “his” Gaza peace accord anyway, since that came after the decision was finalized early October … but I suspect he was crossing his fingers anyway, because well it’s always about him ofcourse)The word peace should also be in “”
Well really it’s “his” Gaza “peace” “accord” since Hamas hasn’t even signed yet IIRC? And Israel will break it either way, even if Trump did in fact win the PP, they can’t take it back, so let’s get back to the genocide.
Even if israel do not break anything and the whole plan is executed. Gaza will still be occupied so there would be no peace
Oh yeah, the “peacekeepers” led by Trump and Tony Blair. Almost forgot about it.
I heard she gave her peace prize to Trump but he refused it.
