The winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado

The award goes to the person or organisation that’s done the most “for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of peace congresses”

US President Donald Trump had led a public campaign to win the award, but nominations closed in January - at the start of his second term in office

    Ironically, she is a major opposition leader in Venezuela, so if Trump continues to bomb Maduro’s navy, she gets closer to power. She is also a big fan of Trump and has called Thatcher the politician she most admires.

      ‘Ironically’ as if she’s not literally a cia trained puppet waiting for power to hand off venezuelas resources to us shell companies. Trumps america cant even come up with their own schemes anymore, they gotta butcher the classics.

        It’s literally the history of both South/ Central America, and Africa.
