> FIFA looking awful silly right now

They can take bribes with impunity for another 2 years. That's better than 2015 [1] and probably everything they wanted from that trophy.

FIFA Peace Prize laureate is the person responsible for giving the order to attack, assuming that those are caused by the US military.

"The President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, was presented with the inaugural 'FIFA Peace Prize – Football Unites the World' by FIFA President Gianni Infantino during the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026™ at the iconic John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC" [1].

Their peace prize…

…that they invented from whole cloth this year just so they could award it to Trump, the most deserving president of a fake prize from one of the most corrupt organisations on Earth.

...and the Nobel Committee awarding the 'Nobel Peace Prize' to Maria Cornia Machado for 'democracy' and now will be used for the toppling of a leader in another country and creating another war. [0]

This is why the Nobel Peace Prize has become completely meaningless.

Is it more “peaceful” to rule over people illegitimately?

cirwyz2mo ago

Yes, it's more peaceful than war. Especially when the "illegitimately" part is determined by US-aligned and sponsored organizations for the purpose of manufacturing consent for regime change.

Didn't citizens of Venezuela themselves actually verify and prove that election was stolen?
