Trump Wants Peace Prize, Forgets US Ignites Most Wars
Donald Trump, as reported by The Independent, believes he deserves a separate Nobel Peace Prize for solving 'eight and a quarter' wars during his presidency. This self-awarded medal comes from a man who, during his term, oversaw significant arms deals, some of which fueled conflicts abroad, and notably withdrew the US from the Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA), which arguably escalated tensions in the
Middle East. One might wonder which 'quarter' of a war he claims to have solved, particularly when the US continued to back Saudi Arabia's devastating war in Yemen or maintained its military presence in Iraq. The sheer audacity of claiming to solve wars while the US remains the world's largest arms dealer, funneling weapons into nearly every active conflict zone, is a masterclass in political
theater. This isn't peace; it's a rebranding of perpetual intervention and profit. Perhaps the Nobel committee should just send him a participation trophy for having avoided a major new direct military invasion from Washington, while conveniently overlooking the resistance against imperialisms and drone strikes that continued unabated. (Always check the receipts before celebrating a 'peace
settlement' from the war machine's mouthpiece.)
