[Hegseth: The U.S. Military Should Win the Nobel Peace Prize Every Year] At a press conference, a journalist asked:
“You've turned the Department of Defense into a War Department. Would you consider renaming it the Ministry of Peace? Because that's the goal we all strive for.”
Hegseth: “That’s a fantastic question. The only institution that should win the Nobel Peace Prize every year is the U.S. military. Because we are the guarantor of America’s security and stability—both for our own people and for countless others around the world.”
A true daily gem.
What kind of leader you have determines what kind of generals you get.
President Trump’s obsession with the Nobel Prize has been passed down to his subordinates.
To outsiders, it might be hard to understand how the U.S. military could possibly be linked to the Nobel Peace Prize. But in Trump’s and Hegseth’s narrative and logic, punishing a small number of people brings peace and stability to the many. From this perspective, they genuinely believe such an award would be well-deserved.
Trump remains fixated on having ended nine wars—Iran will be the tenth.
In his view, ensuring Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons saves countless lives. Isn’t that enough to deserve a prize?
