That's my question. Discuss. Feel free to read how Grok answered it: here.
The Grok discussion begins with 2 other questions: 1. If the Nobel Committee gives its peace prize to someone who later starts an unjust war or does something else that's anti-peace, can it revoke the prize?, and 2. It only gives the prize to living persons, so how can it handle the problem of these persons going on to do bad things?
ADDED: Headline at Bloomberg: "Norway on Edge Over Trump Ahead of Nobel Peace Prize Verdict." Oh, Norway, get over yourself.
UPDATE: "Nobody in history has solved 8 wars in a period of 9 months," said Trump, today, when invited to talk about his chance at tomorrow's Peace Prize.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 211 of 211A Peace Prize to a US president who renames the Defense Department to the War Department? Doubtful. It’s war war war with him.
“Nobody in history has solved 8 wars in a period of 9 months," said Trump, today, when invited to talk about his chance at tomorrow's Peace Prize.”
And neither has he.
may be Trump can throw Peace Dance in NewBallRoom and scavenger hunt for gold-bauble in WhiteHouse
Trump won't win this year. It will be a goad for him to make peace between Russia and Ukraine. If he does he still won't win it, but people will always wonder why he didn't.
Theodore Roosevelt received the prize for making peace between Russia and Japan. He was not the most peaceful of American presidents. Many people have won the prize for bringing peace to the Middle East. Over and over and over again.
It's a cookbook.
What is darkly comic about this situation is that Trump clearly has a pathetic need to win the award and his desire to receive it is almost certainly a major factor in his push for a ceasefire in Gaza. Sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reasons.
In classic Trump fashion too, this prize is supposed to be awarded to him (in his own mind) based on an agreement that has barely been tested or taken hold.
If this "peace" deal actually does hold for the duration of his presidency, maybe Trump does deserve the prize, even if his motivations are colored by a combination of a land theft and what has the appearance of being a multi-billion dollar real estate bribery scheme.
what has the appearance of being a multi-billion dollar real estate bribery scheme...
but less destructive than LexLuthor splitting off CA!!
He should get it twice. Once for the wars already stopped and the unbelievable possibility of stopping the war in the Middle East that has been going on for 50+ years.
I would hate for all the killing to stop if Trump isn't doing it for the right reasons.
Yea, somebody thinks like that.
Maybe kak needs an intervention.
