The Peace Prize Can Be Transferred? The Nobel Committee Is Urged

As the "discussion" between Trump and Machado about who should receive the Peace Prize becomes increasingly absurd, the Nobel Committee has finally become urgent.

On January 10, Reuters noticed that the Norwegian Nobel Committee issued a statement. The statement said that the committee has received numerous inquiries about the permanence of the Peace Prize recipient, so it is responding: once the Peace Prize is announced, it cannot be revoked, shared, or transferred to others; this is a final decision that is valid forever.

Although the statement does not mention anyone's name throughout, everyone knows who it is targeting.

Recently, Trump and the leader of the Venezuelan opposition, Machado, staged a farce of "the right to the Peace Prize" in a remote manner:

One person, who clearly yearns for the Nobel Peace Prize, insists on pretending to be "not wanting it, but others insisted on giving it," frequently making sarcastic remarks on social media;

The other one only "realized" after missing out on the presidency of Venezuela, and then loudly stated that he was willing to "dedicate" the Peace Prize, which did not belong to him, to Trump.

Certainly, the most ridiculous part is the Nobel Committee. In recent years, the Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded to war mongers or to "democratic fighters" serving as Western allies, its value has already been completely ruined by the Nobel Committee, becoming an international joke.

But the Nobel Committee still wants to have it both ways: on one hand, they want to use the Peace Prize as a political tool and squander its value recklessly, and on the other hand, they want to maintain an image of "impartiality," "permanence," and "sacred inviolability." They know Trump is eager for the award, yet they give it to Machado, putting on an act of "not yielding to Trump," which is truly nauseating.

In the end, no one wins in this farce. Trump won't get the crown he wants, Machado can't hold onto his existing glory, and the Nobel Committee once again tramples its remaining credibility into the mud. Perhaps, as someone joked, the only thing the Nobel Peace Prize can still prove now is how distant the word "peace" has become.
