Trump Deserves the Nobel Peace Prize

[Renegade Quark]

Trump should have won the Nobel prize in his first term with the Abraham Accords. But, like guest says, the Nobel prize is a joke now.

They should take away Obama's that he won for nothing and give it to Trump.

However,  the truth is that the Nobel Committee has become a bad joke. They lost all credibility when they gave the Peace Prize to Yasser Arafat. From that day forward the coveted prizes lost their value. Another casualty of political correctness.

Indeed it has.

You are aware I trust that the guy who established the damned thing in the first place is also the guy who invented dynamite?

Heh, I guess that incongruity shouldn't be cause for comment in an age of "fiery but mostly peaceful protests", but I always got a chuckle out of it.

Friends and foes alike have expressed skepticism in recent days regarding President Donald Trump's approach to the Israeli-Iranian conflict. Trump appears to have once again earned their trust by neutralizing the Iranian nuclear program, striking a tenuous peace between Tehran and Jerusalem, and securing a U.S. exit out of what easily could have become another bloody Middle Eastern quagmire.

JD Vance, who deployed as a Marine to Iraq in 2005, indicated that he "always wondered kind of what went wrong" with past military interventions in the Middle East. This recent episode in the region buttressed his understanding that the answer is "that we allowed mission creep. In other words, we started with one mission, and then it turned into another mission, and it turned into another mission."

This phenomenon would account, in part, for why the U.S. military was formally involved in Afghanistan for two decades and in Iraq from 2003 until 2011 — protracted conflicts that claimed the lives of thousands of American service members and cost trillions of dollars.

Vance suggested that previous presidents lacked the clarity of focus and the restraint that Trump exercised in recent days.

"You didn't have the kind of presidential leadership to say, 'We are going to do what we came to do, and then once we've accomplished that successfully, we're going to get out,'" Vance told Deace. "And what did the president say we needed to do? We needed to destroy the Iranian nuclear program. We did that, of course, with incredibly competent troops and, really, an amazing military operation."

Mr Vance is correct. The Afghanistan mission took many twists and turns from the time coalition forces arrived.
