Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Leader Backed by US Regime Change
Venezuela reportedly closed its embassy in Norway after opposition figure Maria Corina Machado, who once publicly praised Donald Trump for his stance against the Maduro government, received the Nobel Peace Prize. The article frames this as a diplomatic squabble, conveniently omitting the US's long and well-documented history of funding and supporting Venezuelan opposition groups in an effort to
destabilize the democratically elected government. Machado herself was banned from public office for 15 years by Venezuela's Supreme Court, a detail often downplayed by Western media. A Nobel Peace Prize for a leader sanctioned and backed by a foreign power seeking regime change? How many 'peace' prizes will be doled out to those advocating for US-led destabilization efforts before we question the
committee's definition of 'peace' (or 'prize')? One might wonder how much 'democracy promotion' funding from Washington translates into international accolades.
