Do you think winners like him discredit the award overall? Not sure what the deal with Obama was but I know Kissinger was an absolute fuck

Western warmongers get it when the narrative validates it or calls for it, I feel. Obama got it while drone striking the fuck out of folks (but back home people loved him so that was an easy pass), Donny wants/wanted it while supporting an accelerated genocide and dropping bombs in Iran... It seems to follow a predictable pattern, lol.

Obama got it while drone striking the fuck out of it

Nah, that's the thing: he got it for campaigning before even BECOMING president. And then he proceeded to drone strike the fuck out of the Middle East and Central Asia.

Obama is the only Nobel Peace Prize winner to drone strike another Nobel Peace Prize winner (Doctors Without Borders)
