Finnish President And Prime Minister Visit WH; President Stubb Fielded Question About Nobel Peace Prize That Stood Out For Its Wisdom And Diplomacy: US-Finland Alliance & Symbolic Icebreaker Deals

Around 8 minute mark, Finnish President Stubb is asked whether he thinks Trump should have gotten Nobel Peace Prize. His answer is impressive—made me want to learn a little more about him, starting with how his name can be “Stubb” if he is Finnish. He has a Swedish father, it turns out. The diplomatic Finnish President brought up former President Marti Ahtisaari, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2008, quoting Ahtisaari for often saying that in peace deals, both sides have to appear somewhat equal—it can’t be the “big guy” clobbering the “little guy.”
Clearly there is a strong US-Finland alliance happening. And just as clearly, a breakdown in diplomatic relations (whatever they may have been) between Spain and the US.
This from Max Blumenthal, regarding 2025 Nobel Peace Prize winner Maria Corina Machado.
Sheesh.
The powers that be trying to steer the herd into believing the US are moving on Russia Via Finland.
We are not supposed to know that Russia (and China too) are all playing their parts according to the big script. Popcorn time, will it be on Netflix or Disney I wonder
The Nobel Peace Prize was created by Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite.
Nobel asked that the prize be awarded “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses”.
This, unfortunately, has not always been the case.
Obama is one notable controversial winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. But he is not the most controversial winner in the slightest. After all, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Joseph Stalin were all nominated.
Henry Kissinger had a hand in reshaping US foreign policy, advising 12 presidents from John F Kennedy to Joseph Biden. He was both celebrated and reviled for his realpolitik and had a hand in epoch-changing global events.
As the top US diplomat for the Nixon administration, he negotiated with his North Vietnamese counterpart Le Duc Tho at the Paris peace talks to bring an end to the War in Vietnam. His strategy was to apply powerful military pressure while negotiating, part of which was a massive bombing campaign including on Hanoi, the North Vietnamese capitol, during Christmas in 1972.
Some say he should have actually won a different Prize, called the War Prize.
The silence of Myanmar’s Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, over the Rohingya crisis has led critics to call for her award to be revoked.
Starting to wonder if Nobel is actually an award, or a statement of Empires' celebration of its goals and agendas.
