    I mean Maduro is pretty bad. If that statement was just about him, I don’t see the issue. They seemed to quite dislike everything Trump was doing.

    The most confusing part about that statement was Americans seeing what the Nobel prize is. They especially should stfu after electing that shit-show XD

      The peace prize did seem pretty pointless since Obama won it for doing nothing. Like don’t get me wrong I voted for the guy and wanted him to win, but it was pretty dang empty to give him the peace prize, especially since he then went on to be in charge while some really ugly stuff went down.

        Yeah in hindsight it was a silly award that felt like a “thanks for not being Bush and Cheney” prize.

          Now look into how many bombs were dropped under Bush/Chaney, and then how many were dropped under Obama. You’ll quickly understand what the Nobel Peace Prize was for.

        He didn’t do nothing, he specialized in illegal drone strikes.
