      I mean Machado got the prize for her advocacy for war, so it’s more of a war prize to begin with. The Nobel peace prize has been a joke for a long time. Norwegian must have drifted too far away from Swedish so they can’t understand Nobels will anymore.

      You got that all wrong. He ended the US-Venezuela war! I’m sure he’ll end the US-Greenland war next!

      He’s been saying this the whole time! You know, if you ignore the whole war thing externally and the ICE terrorism internally. 100% peaceful. He IS peace. Well he’s definitely A piece.

      Of course. “Peace through strength.” It only works when you force it on people. I’m sure I’ve heard that somewhere.

      Not quite. He started a war to kidnap the dude who made fun of his stupid dancing.

      Machado is trading the peace prize for presidency.

      Just sort of a lucky coincidence or something. Or the universe hates everyone.

      God knows what he thinks people will give him for invading Greenland.

      I suppose the rate at which nobel peace prize winners start wars is probably quite a bit higher the rate at which non-nobel-peace-prize-winners start wars, if only because that prize has been given to a few heads of state that have gone on to do that, while most people simply don’t realistically have the capacity to start one if they wanted to.
