Yeah the list of terrible Imperialist monsters given a “Peace Prize” is something else. They gave it to Teddy Roosevelt just a couple years after he cemented US rule of the Philippines and also made it law that America is allowed to “intervene in wrongdoings” in Latin America, the legacy of which has led to immeasurable exploitation and suffering to this day.
They also gave it to George Marshall, the guy who invented the Marshall plan (the post-WW2 economic “recovery” plan whereby the US solidified its hold over western europe as anti-communist neo-colonies).
There are more terrible recipients than people who did even a little good in the list lol. Lester B. Pearson? Gimme a break. Henry fucking Kissinger? He got it for Vietnam if you can believe that.
Even the year they tried to give it to Anwar el-Sadat they gave it as a joint prize to Begin, a Zionist ultranationalist who got his start in a terrorist group in Mandatory Palestine, and who was PM during the Sabra and Shatila massacre.
They did the same shit to Nelson Mandela, he shared it with de Klerk because heaven forbid it goes to someone who actually stood for liberation and peace. Give a cookie to the white man for not doing apartheid (on the books) anymore.
Same with when Arafat got it, he split it with Zionists too.
They gave it to the Dalai Lama in the late 80s, I’m pretty sure. I mean, yeah, that peaceful appeal to return to feudalistic slavery, very prize-worthy.
They definitely gave it to Gorbachev following the anti-fascist protection rampart’s take-down.
So it’s pretty clear it’s got shit all to do with peace, except the peace of mind these fuckwads give to imperialist oligarchs that their interests are secured.

Literally just the pro american foreign policy prize 🙃
Tbf, Mandela had already sold out by that point. That’s why he got half of it even.
