What a despicable human being that woman is and what a fraud the Nobel Peace Prize has become

Just beyond belief - or is it? That an ultra right wing war monger, advocating for regime change can win the Nobel PEACE prize? What upside down world are we inhabiting? ….And despite massive ongoing protest marches around the world, we’ve seen governments stand by watching a ‘to be continued’ genocide in Gaza, Trump thinking he deserved Peace Prize despite sending ‘weapons of mass destruction’ (remember that term?) to Israhell etc etc ….”Beam me up Scotty”…I despair…..

What a travesty that Machado was awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. Even the rightwing conservatives call Machado too extreme. When will the US ever stop intervening in Latin America? The US foreign policy is a disaster eveywhere. Thank you for another great article Ben Norton.

So is she going to get the Russians to remove the bombers and other aircraft that they have in there now is she going to get them to remove the nuclear weapons that are there now.

I don't think so.

And they would be fools to give up the nuclear weapons now.

The Nobel prize for privatization of national wealth into the hands of US oligarchs. That's "building democracy"? Right.

Why are so many females in positions of national leadership such war mongers and constantly seeking subservience to dicatorial monsters? Poor fatherly parental relationships? Abusive husbands? Lack of self esteem? It seems to. E statistically out of wack.

They are handpicked front-women. Present a "progressive", "inclusive" face to front imperial agenda of exploiting everyone on the planet including own countrymen.

For this kind of job you tend to need psychopaths and at the very least, deformed, amoral sorry excuses for human beings.

The same is true of the men in these roles.

Indeed you are correct. My concern is statistically, we should see some examples of moderate women in national leadership as we see for men. Dont see it.

What statistical analysis are you referring to? Have you done one.

My point is: we live in corrupt male dominated societies that use women to front their horrors. Even the men they use are not moderate, but just corrupt tools. The likes of macron and Starmer have shown their real face - no longer can be pretended to be "moderate" . As such, am not sure why you expect to see moderate women as the tools in this time.

We are in a descent to hell. And you think you will find moderates driving the bus?
