So yesterday evening I went all thru CNN mobile expecting to not see a single mention of a sitting POTUS receiving now three nominations for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize. I wasn’t disappointed 😂

Considering how easy it is to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, while also knowing that Donald Trump has been soliciting foreign leaders for a nomination (such as Shinzo Abe of Japan) ... do these nominations really merit publicity? It's pathetic.

You don't know what you are talking about. President Donald Trump abandoned an ally, the Kurds, in Northern Syria. In doing so, he empowered a bad actor - Recep Erdogan.

Without consulting either the Pentagon or Congress, and following a phone call with Turkish President Erdogan, Trump ordered the removal of all U.S. troops from the region. This endangered the Kurdish people, strengthened ISIS, and ceded influence to some of America's chief adversaries. Trump effectively endorsed a Turkish assault on a U.S. ally - the Kurds - occupying Northern Syria. Trump did this, in exchange for absolutely nothing in return. This was basically a gift for not one but two authoritarian rulers, and it makes no sense strategically.

Your statement that Trump's foreign policy stance involves "standing with our friends" is one of the most ignorant comments which I have ever read on the politics forum of VolNation ... unless you are including Erdogan and Vladimir Putin as "our friends".

Donald Trump deserves to be laughed at for publicly begging for the Nobel Peace Prize ... and for thinkin g that he might actually ever receive one.

We only have one ally in the middle east, Israel. The Kurds are no different than Iran or Iraq were when we were giving them weapons and money.

They absolutely merit acknowledging and then discussion of the merits of the nominations can be had. But your dismissive shade that it isn’t even news is laughable just as I told PJ in the previous post.

It’s obvious the answer rests on whether your guy gets it or not.

I put a link in earlier on the controversies around all the prize categories over the years. There have been awards you look at and say “absolutely it makes sense” while others are simply “wtf”.

But for you to throw shade and say a sitting POTUS getting three separate nominations in the same award year isn’t worthy of an article is laughable.

Not when that sitting POTUS has been pleading with fellow heads of state to nominate him. That is the part that is laughable. And face it, there is no chance in hell that Trump will actually win. Trump completely lacks any sense of how he is perceived by the rest of the world, if he thinks otherwise.

Oh FFS that simply isn’t true. Go read the comments on whom made the nominations and why. Your shade is weak BB.

That is just plain ignorant. Since 2014, with the start of military action against ISIS, Kurdish fighters have done the critical work of clearing and holding territory conquered by the militants. In recent years, they have taken care of refugees and detained suspects.

Would you honestly doubt, that Trump did solicit this year's nominations as well? This is what Trump does. He actively seeks these frivolous awards. He whines when a teenage girl gets Time's Person of the Year, instead of him. He whines when he doesn't receive a Nobel Peace Prize. The most important thing to Trump is feeding his ego. He is a narcissist.

Those would be known as "Trump's circles", where handing over Northern Syria to Putin and Erdogan is thought of as a master stroke of genius, and a great accomplishment in peace.

Erdogan and Turkey are becoming more insignificant with each passing day. They are going to be isolated from the rest of the ME.

2 Nobel nominations... more to come.

Just go read the damn nominations. One of them went out of his way to point out he’s not a fan but if you think critically you have to acknowledge the achievement with a nomination.

So the award is based on how well they like you personally and not on merits. Sounds about right.

Not on whether or not you are liked... but on whether or not you are respected. The Nobel Peace Prize in most cases is a meaningless acknowledgment. A few have truly deserved it: Teddy Roosevelt, Albert Schweitzer, Gorbachev, Linus Pauling, Bishop Tutu, MLK, Mother Teresa.

Nobody respects Donald Trump. He is laughed at and ridiculed around the world. The guy is a joke.

I think he gets nominated a few more times for the peace agreements he's able to broker. Art of the deal.

You do realize it was Obama and Joe Hiden policies that destabilized the region. I could spend all day listing their failures on foreign policy. There is one thing I do know is those people don't want us there as a permanent solution. In 8 years in the White House we were no closer leaving Afghanistan than the day they took office.

No, it was the invasion of Iraq in 2003, that "destabilized the region". That was George W.
