Restarting a nuclear test program doesn't seem to suggest he's very serious. After renaming his Defence Department the Department for War, it will be obvious to anyone where his real heart is when it comes to peace.
@FreddieUK ..but did you ever sneak out to play a few games of poker with Charlie in some dimly-lit, smokey dank corner of a flooded dungeon within Buckingham Palace?
@SunshineGirl The same ploy is being used in multiple locations big old ships are bought up as the transporter, then off the coast it is transferred onto fishing boats and brought ashore. Have you been to the Carribean and seen what contraband the "harmless fishermen" smuggle there. In fact there are thousands of "harmless fishermen" all over the world that smuggle contraband all the time. One of the primary reasons is they cannot make a living out of just fishing anymore as the ocean has been over fished.
They even turned their hand to being "Taxi service" to assist people that wanted to go on holiday during COVID lockdowns.
A rendezvous with a friend's luxury yacht at sea and you were out and free. There were still destinations that accepted luxury yachts and private jets tourism including the Carribean.
@SunshineGirl Both are illegal and another activity is gun transport etc. Try googling the " cocaine superhighway" and you will see what Trump is trying to impact on. Whether you like it or not at least he has the guts to carry out the strikes.
@yestestvennaya Yes, I dismiss him from any position of significance in my life. He's a nobody... a global joke and he does not merit the attention he craves and demands.
He is illiterate, innumerate, uneducated, and this leads to lie after lie, self-aggrandising falsehoods, and a need to avoid details at all costs. Never any details... never.
It is quite pitiful (and amusing) to watch... as I said, just a sad old man.
Capitals are used on proper nouns, and the main criterion for a proper noun is that it refers to something specific and unique, but donald trump is not unique... members of his ilk are a dime a dozen.
You seem to ascribe an incredible amount of hate to me regarding putin and russia, but unfortunately you completely miss the actual feeling and the focus of that feeling.
It's contempt.
It's contempt for a murderous autocrat who has destroyed his country in the same way that so many parasites destroy their host.
It's contempt for those who support him, find excuses for him, propagate his lies, and sit in craven silence rather than demonstrate courage and integrity.
But the consequences of his hate-filled war against the sovereign democracy of Ukraine and his ongoing murder of that country's men, women, children, and babies will find him.
Nobel Peace Prize keyword PEACE - there hasn't been peace in this country since he took office, either term. And he's definitely not trying to make peace in a lot of other countries unless it benefits him.
@Charity He's never done anything for anyone unless he was getting something out of the deal for himself...and he cheats at golf which says a lot about the person....
@ididntknow Obama got the award, simply for being elected. Then he went on to become the first ever US president to have the US involved in wars during his entire two terms.
@SW-User Better, though perhaps not permanently, in the Middle East. No change in Eastern Europe. Probably better relations with China, though that isn't necessarily a good thing. Relations with most allies better, because more realistic. American prosperity irrelevant.
The Middle East is undeniably worse. You have Russia building nuclear plants in Iran with no oversight. And there has never been more hostilities between countries than there is now. Heck, look at the number of civilians killed by Trump strikes in Yemen. “Better”??
No change in Eastern Europe
In Trump’s own words, the Russians would accept peace within 24 hours of Trump being elected. Um…
Instead, we now have Russia using North Korean troops to storm Europe. “No change” lol you are unserious.
Better relations with China
Yes, that’s why they’re purchasing zero soybeans from American farmers, and instead buying it all from Argentina. And buying more of their oil from Canada. All whilst squeezing Trump on tech. That’s great!
American prosperity irrelevant
He was literally elected because everything cost too much. Groceries. Fuel. Health insurance. That’s all got worse. Irrelevant how??
As for allies. Well, they openly laugh at him. That’s realistic for you.
Even if the peace plan in Gaza holds until next year, normally the prize goes to the people who signed it, not the people who arranged it. The 1994 peace prize went to Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin, and Shimon Peres, not Bill Clinton. So the prize next year would go to Netanyahu and whoever his counterpart is in Hamas.
@swirlie Please read the text of the Peace Plan I posted and respond to that instead of to something you picked up elsewhere.
Can you provide a citation for your claim that nothing was agreed to other than a 48 hour ceasefire? If that's the case, why did Hamas release the hostages? What happened, someone forgot to lock the door and the hostages just happened to escape right after the ceasefire?
LOL...about as much as we should celebrate John Wayne Gacy Day....He causes more problems than he solves and he is going to piss the entire world off against Americans....It's a very scary situation!!!
@swirlie Now when WWE does shows in other countries, the audience boos America's national anthem. Which I don't like, but I really can't get mad about. Americans should have known that allowing Fascism was going to turn the world against them.
@BohoBabe What you say is absolutely correct. Fascism didn't just 'happen' to America as a stroke of bad luck, Fascism was never challenged by Americans when they had Fascism put in their face, yet chose to do absolutely NOTHING about it.
Americans got what they voted for and Trump delivered on his promise.
@JanaF47 Also between Thailand and Cambodia…China was behind that conflict trying to get fishing territory and get them fighting so they could move in and take over.
Venezuela isn’t about the drugs, f that’s just a narrative, they always need a narrative, it’s all about stealing the oil, oil = wealth, American debt = $34 Trillion, America needs that oil
Venezuela is a failed state , the type of oil they have cant be refined by USA.
This statement of your's is categorically false. All American refineries from the Canadian border to Louisiana have been modified to accept heavy Canadian crude from the Alberta Tar Sands project in the Canadian mid-west. As such, American refineries can now refine heavy crude oil which is full of Bitumen, which is what is used as road tar.
Any heavy crude coming from Venezuela to the USA is now able to be refined in American refineries which are among the oldest oil refineries in existent on the planet, though now compliant to accept heavy crude.
@Khenpal1 Yes, the American refineries are running at peak capacity as they always have been, but they were not always able to refine heavy crude like they can do now. The only crude that American refineries could use was 'sweet crude' which comes from Argentina and Iraq and most oil wells found in Canada.
That is precisely why the Keystone Pipeline from Canada to the USA was cancelled and restarted several times because American refineries were NOT able to refine heavy Canadian crude which contains large amounts of sulphur and Bitumen, depending on the Canadian oil wells they were using.
Those American refineries are now upgraded to handle heavy crude.
@gregloa Too bad. Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump wasn't, and never will be :) He will have to live with a Black president being forever more respected than him :)
Deserves? The ship has left the port. They delivered their goods to a woman-nobody from Venezuela. She won the prize for talking, not doing. We will see what the coming year brings. Hint: they like ethnics, liberals, and woman-nobodies.
@MartinII Yup, he opened his mouth and used it in his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples".
Nobel Commission 2009.
And that is the only reason Trump wants a prize. He cannot stand that Obama won one.
And sadly for you, he's not getting one next year either. The ceasefire is over, and he has turned against his own people. He's no better than Maduro, now.
@wildland No it isn't, though whether the second stage of the peace plan happens is doubtful. Obama had not made extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples when he was awarded the prize, he had merely said what a good thing it would be. And that's not the same thing as peace. Sometimes Peace is achieved by winning wars.

Sadly for you, the Nobel Commission disagreed with you.
Sometimes Peace is achieved by winning wars.
But it doesn't win you a Nobel Peace Prize. Look them up: none of the recipients won it by "winning wars".
I also am responsible for ending Daylight Savings Time again this year after standard time was declared terminated. Finally, I contributed to the restoration of the East Wing of the White House.
