Honestly, the Nobel Foundation has done themselves and the Nobel Prize terrible damage. I, for one, am no longer interested in this sham of an award, or any of the other Nobel prizes. They should be ashamed that were stupid enough or corrupt enough to have given it to Machado in the first place, she was clearly no agent for peace. This just adds to that shame.
Look at it from her side. She can "give" this narcissistic her award (which she actually can't) and the guy who holds the strings will be pleased and she gets her country back, peacefully.
That's a great deal for her and Venezuela overall. She is playing him. It's tactful and tactical. And he's a pathetic toddler who only responds to praise and participation awards - what a sad sad sad person to have as leader. I hope MAGA sees how pathetic this is but I know they won't.
Sure this is great "move" if you have no morals or ethics... the notion the Orange Pedo will hand over a country and forget about is laughable... she just wants to be next in the trough and will obey the fellon president as long as she can suck the tit, Venezuelans be damned
When the enemy has no morals or ethics, what do you do?
The US has always wanted puppet states in the Americas. Sure, she'd be beholden to the US, for now, but she may be better than the Maduro regime, and the people voted her in too.
I feel you want me to say you are supposed to sink to his level? isn't that what most Americans are complaining the Democrats are doing?
Democrats haven't sunk to that level at all. Wtf are you talking about. Dems have written strongly worded letters asking for violence to please stop, protested a bit and blown some whistles. Meanwhile MAGA and their paramilitary (ice) have gone around killing people. They are not the same.
Not suggesting violent retaliation, because that is what the right want - they're trying to provoke violence, but there are other non-violent disruptive behaviours that could be enacted
I'm talking about their movement towards the right. Democrats are far right compared to most actual leftist party in the world
