United States President Donald Trump has been reportedly nominated for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to broker diplomatic ties between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
Trump was nominated by Christian Tybrin-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, Fox News has reported.
"For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees," Tybrin-Gjedde told Fox

^The more you talk about the Cold War the more you make my point that Trump and creeps are setting us up for global disaster. Just how do you think this new Cold War and communist panic will be resolved? Through an exchange of traditional dance and theatre?

Of course it will be war. And by dragging down the global economy to pay for their self-serving global economic theft, Trump, Pompeo and Mnuchin have made sure it will have to be world war.

Trade war is actual war despite your naivete, while strategic economic suppression resulting in death is still willful killing. Not all wars are trade wars, but all trade wars are wars. Always have been, always will be. Your effort to sidestep this makes no sense in any moral universe, including your own.

The deranged psychopath is already implementing international disaster before your very eyes. Killing and sickening the impoverished through economic suppression before your very eyes. Priming national violence and international breakdown before your very eyes. Funding a terrorist state to slaughter a neighbouring state before your very eyes. Wrecking pristine environments before your very eyes. Destroying all hope of dealing with global warming before your very eyes. Making nuclear war more likely before your very eyes. Emboldening local and global far-right fascists before your very eyes. Causing tens of thousands of deaths due to self-serving lies and mismanagement before your very eyes.

But no, it's the candidate whose voters and party didn't support Bush, Cheney and the neocon fanatics twice you really have to watch.

This is the sort of nonsense that once had you wondering if invading Iraq might be a good idea. Have some clarity for once, for goodness' sake. Just use basic commonsense without trying to be contrarian or clever. E.g., Trump was clearly always a malignant narcissist who wrecked shit, and therefore would on taking office almost certainly continue to be that way. Nothing exotic, but solid commonsense.

Trump's chaos will continue to worsen, like weather events under conditions of global warming. He will continue to stimulate the US economy to make markets (and therefore himself) look good and pay for his debts. He will continue to undermine global stability and damage competitor and world economies to try to make himself look good because that's the only outcome his pathological psychiatry can accept. Collaboration and mutual benefit simply don't exist in his damaged brain.

In doing so he will continue to cause overvaluation within the US and devaluation everywhere else. As reality begins to surface, he will need to blame China more aggressively, with the latter in turn becoming more strident and fanatical in response. Clear as day, and this will only intensify because he's a one trick pony and global capital can see it a mile off, thus piling onto this bet and exacerbating it.

The result will not be a repeat of your imaginary Cold War where Russians and Americans merely 'sabre rattled' and exchanged folk songs even as Indochina and Latin America mysteriously burned to the ground in another dimension.

The existing carnage and chaos and the monumental risk of catastrophic global conflict is what you have to deal with before you even get to the foibles of Biden and institutional Democrats, and begin dealing with other crises like global warming. You don't get to conduct the inquest and apportion fractions of blame part way through the disaster. Your first concern is survival.

It's his second nomination and we probably have less tropps in the middle east, and declining, than we've had for decades. Whatever his (numerous) faults he shows little interest in being involved in armed conflict anywhere in the world and more interested in brokering peace deals.

^If that makes you feel better.

Not only does Fauci have more to say, that effing piece of shite Trump held a rally for maskless Khmer Rouge Hats and therefore negligently killed more people just so his name could be glorified, as if to underscore the point.
Fauci via The Hill wrote:"Certainly there were disagreements. There were times I was out there telling the American public how difficult this is, how we're having a really serious problem, and the president was saying it's something that's going to disappear, which obviously is not the case," Fauci said.

Fauci added that there continue to be "some disagreements in what we say and what comes out from the White House," but said they're trying to get the right word out.

Fauci said he couldn't comment specifically on what Trump said to Woodward "except to say yes, when you downplay something that is really a threat, that's not a good thing."

...

When asked about the largely maskless crowd at Trump's outdoor rally in Michigan on Thursday night, Fauci noted that just because an event is outside doesn't make it safe.

"If you're outdoors and you're crowded together and you don't have a mask, the chances of respiratory transmission of a virus clearly are there," Fauci said. "Just because you're outdoors doesn't mean you're protected, particularly if you're in a crowd and you're not wearing masks."

Bless Fauci for trying to remain in the room for the good of humanity, but we have the Woodward record, months of public record, and Trump's incredibly consistent malignant narcissism that simply doesn't waver.

Was malignant narcissist and wrecker, is malignant narcissist and wrecker, will be malignant narcissist and wrecker. It's really not that difficult to work out at that level of extremely severe and dangerous mental illness.

Trump announces 'peace deal' between Bahrain and Israel
Israel and the Gulf state of Bahrain have reached a landmark deal to fully normalise their relations, US President Donald Trump has announced.

"The second Arab country to make peace with Israel in 30 days," he tweeted.

For decades, most Arab states have boycotted Israel, insisting they would only establish ties after the Palestinian dispute was settled.

But last month the United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to normalise its relationship with Israel.

There had been much speculation that Bahrain might follow suit.

Mr Trump, who presented his Middle East peace plan in January aimed at resolving the Israel-Palestinian conflict, helped broker both accords.

Bahrain is only the fourth Arab country in the Middle East - after the UAE, Egypt and Jordan - to recognise Israel since its founding in 1948.

Give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize award ;)

^Great, Israeli psychopath and gangster Netanyahu threatens to annex the West Bank and cause mayhem to distract from his crimes, and in return American psychopath Trump does yet another arms deal with fascist Saudi vassal states to pay back his military-industrial supporters at home, meanwhile sustaining the fossil fuel economies of all parties for decades more, paying back his fossil fuel supporters, even as the West Coast burns.

All this as he tears up arms treaties, scuppers international cooperation and wrecks international bodies, conducts a global trade war to suppress international economies and the economic growth of poor countries, incites horror confrontation with China, turns Central Americans fleeing starvation due to climate change into race bait, and causes death and chaos at home in real time.

It's the same BS over and over and over again as the usual arms and fossil fuels scumbags wreck the joint by having their political representatives play off parties, heighten catastrophic risk, and displace costs.

Mission accomplished!

More on the Manslaughterer-in-Chief's tens of thousands of additional Coronavirus killings:
Editor of journal Science wrote:"As he was playing down the virus to the public, Trump was not confused or inadequately briefed: He flat-out lied, repeatedly, about science to the American people," wrote the editor, H. Holden Thorp. "These lies demoralized the scientific community and cost countless lives in the United States."

Yer right. Give Trump a peace prize for (rightly or wrongly) claiming a role in a "peace" settlement between two countries that weren't at war in the first place. Twice!

Give me a break.

But wait, wait! There is peace between Denmark and Mexico! Yay! And no fighting at all between the USA and Canada! Or Australia and New Zealand! I claim my Peace Prize too! Better give me two prizes 'coz that's three pairs of countries who weren't fighting and aren't fighting now. And I could make more - Brazil and Sri Lanka; Japan and France!
