Wait-what rings out, as in how can somebody embroiled in war be recognized for Peace?!
Well, first, there are different categories of Nobels - we might pick a fit. And there are imaginative ways to achieve Peace - for one, fighting to defeat a great threat to peace.
*** And out there somewhere in the internet there have been questionings as to why OBAMA got a Nobel, including from him saying he didnt know why, himself.
Well, *I* know why. Because for eight years before, all us here but for Nobel purposes all of the world were faced with what we thought was the worst, most threatening presidency conceivable - HAH, little did we know! So when OBAMA was elected his grand accomplishment was to symbolize the rejection of the Horribleness, literally "Hope and Change".
*** So, ZELENSKYY fighting the maximum threat of the most malignant of authoritarians is accomplishment enough.
But add to that, doing so while having to maneuver, as the world has to do, with a clinically malignant specimen in the White House is that much magnified an accomplishment. Besides, ZELENSKYY getting the Nobel would likely cause the specimen to self destruct.
Where are those Nomination forms?!
The Roux Comes First
(2,423 posts)An actual worthy candidate, who would never lobby on behalf of himself.
We are saddled with an old threadbare worn-out shoe, always whining and needy, pathetically insecure and needing his minions to clean up after him.

Andres is as close to a living saint as you will find.

Both political as hell, and both mean absolutely nothing.
Obama did nothing to win his, Trump DAMN sure hasn't done anything to win his, and neither has Zelensky.

Trump is never going to stop enraging people, because it comes natural to his very core.
"Nobel prize" or not.
