Lots of chatter about it today for the Israel/UAE diplomatic agreement. Possible or it won't hold? Announcement is in October.  |

Definitely not. They'd give it to Greta before him.

in other news, anti-immigration, Islamophobic, climate change-denying far-right Norwegian MP nominates impeached far-right wannabe American dictator for Nobel Peace Prize shocking no one. I'm surprised Putin didn't beat him to it.

I'm surprised Putin didn't beat him to it. Same guy nominated him in 2018 also .........there's more heat about Trump winning this year though since he'll finish his first term with no new sustained military on top of the Israel-UAE deal.........that hasn't happened in a real long time - maybe since Reagan's 2nd term (?)......Republican or Democrat.......I mean Barack Obama fought a congress unapproved war in Libya......and he won a Nobel Prize for some reason... But, yeah Trump's not winning the Nobel Peace Prize  .............he'll have enough trouble winning re-election....... |

Bahrain to normalize relations with Israel now so he's expanded the "Nobel Peace Price" deal with UAE with more to come you'd assume.......come on, this is a pretty impressive deal if it wasn't Trump......don't give the Nobel Prize to Trump then, just give it to that nice young Jared Kushner instead........kidding, kidding. You have to stay funny people..... Bahrain has become the latest Arab nation to agree to normalize ties with Israel as part of a broader diplomatic push by President Donald Trump and his administration to fully integrate the Jewish state into the Middle East.

This will be announced tomorrow, so here is what I think: Apart from the showier UAE-Israel agreement and Bahrain-Israel agreement, Trump has the Kosovo-Serbia deal under his belt, which has led to another nomination: www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-nobel-peace-prize-nomination-serbia-kosovo-magnus-jaobsson-b423786.html%3fampThe Norwegian Nobel Committee has a history of occasionally awarding the Peace Prize for mostly symbolic and/or morally dubious deals and of ignoring the more insalubrious parts of a winner's career. You only have to look at last year's laureate, Abiy Ahmed, who won for striving to normalise relations with Eritrea (a country dubbed Africa's North Korea) but under whom ethnic violence is escalating, Internet shutdowns increasing and political opponents ending up in jail: www.thetimes.co.uk/article/from-nobel-peacemaker-to-authoritarian-ethiopia-falling-out-of-love-with-abiy-ahmed-v75zjp3klSo, Trump would hardly sully a previously unblemished award. Unlike Abiy Ahmed, however, he is a very well-known and much-reviled figure, so people would be asking for the prize to be cancelled were he to win. Indeed, some are already doing so: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/09/end-nobel-peace-prize/616300/Given that the Committee would probably wish to avoid courting controversy, he is almost certain not to win. As for who might actually win, I guess both the leaders of the democratic movement in Hong Kong (if the Committee still dares antagonise the PRC) and the Belarusian peaceful opposition would be timely choices. Fröken Thunberg feels too much like a pop culture pick. |

The Hong Kong protestors should win it, but they won't because Norway is too scared to piss of China again.

Probably a better choice than giving it to Trump for paving the way for rich Israelis to vacation in Dubai. |
