Why should they try? Billionaires make money by selecting good strategies for their companies. As a group they can’t be dilluded about the risks of splitting up the West.

China is going to take the technological lead sometime after 2027. A single billionaire can’t field a competitive army unless they can get AI and robots ready by then.

No. I am pointing out that Obama had received the prize in advance to make him bring peace instead of celebrating good deeds afterwards. In a way, they did already “turn over their medal for a favor from POTUS”.

Remember that Obama got the medal at the beginning of his term.

I don’t think so. Trump is a distraction.

The US cannot continue with the image of world police if every atrocity can be seen on Youtube. The US is reinventing itself for the information age.

The information about the explosion of the north stream pipeline has left the world guessing who did it. I think the US has committed to being ambiguous at all times.

They are playing a new game.

China will rebuild the world if they are not careful.

never going to understand trump wasn’t awarded a fucking Nobel

how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?

I didn’t say that he got it. FIFA just doesn’t have to be ashamed of awarding their medal as long as we respect the Nobel prize.

Without the nation there won’t be a military to secure their companies.

Trump is devaluing the Dollar. Their companies lose global influence if China becomes the hegemon. If things continue unchanged they won’t have anything to fix.

Machado was asking for a regime change before she received the prize. So either the commitee was sloppy or they gave her the prize for that. Now if Trump fulfills her request, how much more worthy is he of a peace prize?

Downvoters, start here:

In June 2023, El País described her as radical in the sense of believing only military intervention could remove Maduro, and as coming from the most radical wing of the political right and the Venezuelan opposition,

There are 1,000 billionaires. Not all will believe it. E.g. why has Musk pushed electric cars?

Even if they say they don’t believe if, that can be deception. Climate change is useful for the northern shipping route, or to create bigger changes like triggering a new ice age and make north Africa green again, or just to soften nuclear winter.

There is no open discussion about why global warming was not stopped in 1970 when people knew and things could have been changed.

because some idiot who should have never been awarded one

I agree. So if the Nobel Peace Prize Committee is not ashamed, why should FIFA be?

That is what media owned by billionaires is telling us. However, it doesn’t make sense to throw away power like they seem to do. The techno feudalists are also not the only ones with influence.

They are only destroing the climate that is suitable for farming. The coal comes from forrests that grew on earth while CO2 levels were high.

They may not care about humanity but they care about maintaining their power.

They got validated by Trump receiving the Nobel Peace Price medal.

Are they saying that the image of the Nobel Peace Price is so bad that the FIFA peace price shouldn’t be associated with it?

“There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war, and we’re winning.”

Said by Warren Buffett, a billionaire.

The competition grounds them. If they make the wrong decisions they lose their power.

Yes, competing for power.

Yes, I think they are grounded in reality. To maintain their power they have to keep their companies competitive.

There are about 1,000 billionaires in the US, competing with 1,000 in China. That competition will keep them grounded in reality. They can only go with fascism if that keeps them competitive.

Some heirs are, but the majority of billionaires is clever enough to understand that alienating all allies will destroy their fortunes.

The newspapers and media companies play along, but are owned by billionaires who could force congress to impeach Trump.
