Pakistan is playing some 5-D chess, here. Butter up the raging narcissist by flattering his ego, in the hopes that he backs down on Iran or risks losing his Nobel prize nomination.
Smart. He actually might fall for it.
Foreign countries know exactly what they're doing this time around when it comes to manipulating Trump. I think last time they were surprised just how easy and stupid it was and now Saudia Arabia is just like "yeah throw some McDonald's paint on a trailer and give him a happy meal, he'll sign whatever we want".
The dude is a very very stupid child.
He already caused Israel attacking Iran in the first place:
So he definitely does not deserve the nomination, but yeah, maybe he can be manipulated into backing off.
It’s literally his MO either through incompetence or hubris, he consistently plants landlines for both himself and others:
He's playing checkers. They're playing Go
He's playing Pigeon Chess.
He's playing with his ding-a-ling.
Totally, this is how you play Trump if you don't have a handwritten letter from your king
This is the worse timeline ever
I am desperately trying to find the portal out of here
Good luck. After sharing the secret, they removed all the payphones.
They cut the hardline! Find the schematics of this building. I need the main wet wall.
After all the news in the last couple of weeks how it might be very likely that our universe is inside a black hole, good luck!
I really dislike that so many people in this timeline don't know or can't see the difference between worse and worst.
Yeah, it's the wurst
“They’re dying, Russians and Ukrainians. I want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that done in 24 hours.” -Trump, May 2023
When a leader in any capacity promises something, you expect them to deliver.
47th President of the United States

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one.
Isn't the count of Russian casualties over a million or something, now?
That's some smooth manipulation right there. He just complained that he should have won it and they slyly nominated him. Expect lots of great favors for Pakistan going forward.
Norwegian here. I can still hear the gasping from the laughter of the nobel committee in Oslo. And I'm on vacation abroad.
As as to be said somehow literally every time these headlines are published, nominations for any Nobel prize are kept secret and announcing that you've submitted a nomination if anything makes them less likely to be accepted as it harms the nomination by harming the image of the nominator. Anyone can say they've nominated anyone for a Nobel Peace Prize and they can't be proven or disproven for 50 years.
Oh and "Pakistan" can't nominate anyone for a Nobel Prize. All you need to be a nominator for the Nobel Peace Prize is to be an elected official or a university professor, but you do have to be a person. The likely of a headline not bothering to distinguish between a person and their 250 million people nation seems to increase linearly with distance east from the Greenwich meridian.
Please remember this when that Norwegian 'scientist' nominations Trump or Elon or whoever in October like he does every year.
I sincerely hope once this fucker keels over we never have to hear from him again.
I think this to myself sometimes too but then I realize some other shit stain will take his place.
Yes... the vice president Vance. That's how it works. (Not that I want that either) the whole R party is a shit show, imho
The Nobel Peace prize really is the turd of all medals
Reminds me of the quote Political Satire became obsolete when Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize. But over the years, there have seriously been multiple controversial candidates who got the prize.
I mean... the guy who invented dynamite and all that
I'd like to nominate him for 20 years in prison.
I vote firing squad
Oh this aged like sour goat milk.
Trump helped secure Pakistan-India ceasefire last month, preventing a broader conflict between the two nuclear
No he didnt, India has already said it was talks between India and Pakistan and Trump had zero to do with it.
They've got that ass-kissing down now, don't they!
Well Hitler was nominated too. Sarcastically, by an anti-fashist, but he was nominated.
So one more thing they have in common now.
In other news, I hereby nominate my butt for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Nobel committee knows that if they pick him, it would tarnish the prize.
Is it still a respected thing? I was under the impression it's not Obama didn't do anything except be elected and he was nominated. Can't remember if he won it though but that seems like pretty weak criteria to be nominated.
Obama did win, and it was for his commitments to green energy and climate change. It's widely considered bad to award people before they follow through to the end, especially for the nobel committee. I think they were trying to use it as further motivation to keep those commitments, but if anything it's usually the opposite.. at least when they give them to sociopath politicians. Could definitely be worse than Obama though.
Edit: Reading more on it, it looks like it was also for nuclear non-proliferation. I guess both are pretty valid awards for Obama, even if he could have done far more, especially in his first two years.
He won for not being Bush.
That's how terrible Bush was.
And Trump is even worse.
Kissinger won after setting a bunch of infants on fire. Obama winning for nothing wasn't the worst by a long shot.
He was awarded and did a lot of un-peaceful things later on
Not peaceful at all. I really think it's a bullshit award these days. Constant drone striking, basic bitch democrat Obama is the best this country can do? Maybe but I hope not
I hear some Oscar winners go on to work in some really un-oscar films -- and they didn't take the Oscars back. Similarly I had a great day on 14 Aug 1999 and some really un-good days after.
Is it okay to pick someone's best achievement and demand that excellence every day? Please answer how you're doing the same in your own life.
