Nah, give it to the leaders of the two Koreas. Winter Olympics had far more to do with building a degree of trust than Trump's monster looney ravings.

Some years ago the Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Medicine by an Israeli academic. When questioned why the nomination, he replied that Begin deserved the prize as much as the one he had already won for Peace.

Perhaps Kim deserves the prize for agreeing to not kill everyone (for a bit). :shrug:

If Trump had anything to do with this he'd have been crowing about it for days, as would his acolytes and Fox News. The USA may well have been involved in greasing a path, but if it did then it was firmly behind closed doors a long way from the gaze of the oaf in the Oval Office.

On that basis, I should get it as I've not tried (well, not a serious attempt) to kill people for longer.

to be fair, Trump has done as much for world peace as Obama, so on that basis he is due.

I'm sure that your suitability is overwhelming, and I would be happy to nominate you. :bowdown:

One had Bin Ladin shot.

The other is a sexual predator.

Yeah, I can see how you reached your conclusion.

GET has also done more to see of Islamic State than Obama. As well as promoting safe zones in Syria, well worth a shout even if a bit unexpected.

Looking forward to his UK visit.:)

I wonder what had more effect on the North Korean leader's mind:

a) the 'Rocket Man' tweets from Trump or
b) being summoned to China for his first foreign summit where he was told to do a u-turn on nukes or risk having Chinese funding withdrawn.

A peace prize to a geezer who gave the go-ahead to bomb a country the other week?

Ok mate...

yeah, world peace since then :rolleyes:

How can I put this politely? I understand how 'whatboutism' usually works: I say your guy is bad and you say 'but whatabout your guy?'. The fact that nobody who as ever won this prize has ever created lasting world peace no more allows you to posit that Trump is equivalent to (or better) than Obama than it allows you to state that shit is the same a sugar (try a spoonful of each in your tea if you want to test this in a real world setting). :rolleyes::dunce:

Trump is a deeply flawed individual and a terrible President but it would be churlish not to admit his erratic behaviour has (by accident or design) shaken up the Korean penisula stalemate and led to a chance of real progress in that region.

Nothing to do with Trump. KJI destroyed his own launch sites by mistake and now realises he'd better start making some friends.
