    They gave it to fucking Kissinger after a decade of firebombing South East Asia defending French colonialism; murdering a million peasants who only wanted a plot of land to grow rice; denying the Vietnamese people their basic human right to democracy the entire god damn time.

    That was over 5 decades ago. The prize is a joke, decided by oligarchs who are not like us, and wield it as a political tool… always has been.

      No no no you’re getting the way of a chance to trash Obama… the Kissinger thing has nothing to do with wit. Obama personally murdered children with his bare hands in ways gwb or trump ever could.

      Kissinger is nothing compared to a drone policy man.

      Sorry there is no basic human right to democracy. And I’m sure the world we’ll find that out the way it’s going
