Should Trump receive the Nobel Peace Prize

Peace through bombing

It's the Obama way, after all.

Civilian casualties from U.S. drone strikes​

​

In October 2017, Trump abolished the Obama-era approval system in favor of a looser, decentralized approach, which gave the military and CIA officials the discretion to decide to launch drone strikes against targets without White House approval. This policy reduced accountability for drone strikes.

Trump couldn't be bothered with how many civilians his drone strikes were killing.

Trump: Enlargement and Ease of Use

When Donald Trump took power in January 2017, his foreign policy rhetoric was isolationist in terms of the American economy. Actions such as withdrawing from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and criticizing international organizations like the UN were in lockstep with more general calls for an “America-first” policy. However, Trump pursued a very hawkish and interventionist foreign policy in terms of military engagement. In January 2020, Trump ordered a preemptive drone strike in Baghdad which killed Iranian commander Qasem Suleimani. Trump argued that the strike was necessary in order to prevent an attack on American soldiers overseas. This type of foreign policy led to many changes that increased the opportunity to use drone strikes. In 2017, Trump expanded the “areas of operation” as a counterterrorism strategy. For context, drone strikes can only occur legally in designated areas of operation. Under Obama, these included Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria. Trump expanded these areas to include Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan, and Libya. According to data from the Long War Journal, strikes in Yemen increased threefold to 125 strikes launched once the Trump administration designated it as an area of operations. Strikes in Somalia increased substantially due to the growing threat of al-Shabab at the time. Additionally, since the US designated these areas as active engagement, military commanders were given the Obama-era unilateral authority to conduct drone strikes without Presidential authorization so that a potentially short window to capture an HVT was used effectively.

40% of all civilian casualties from airstrikes in Afghanistan – almost 1,600 – in the last five years were children​

​

Between 2016-2020 (inclusive) there have, in Afghanistan, been:

• 3,977 total civilian casualties from airstrikes: 2,122 civilians killed, 1,855 civilians injured
• 1,598 total child casualties from airstrikes: 785 children killed, 813 children injured
• 40% of all civilian airstrike casualties were children (1,598 of 3,977)
• 37% of those civilians killed by airstrikes were children (785 of 2,122)
• 44% of those civilians injured by airstrikes were children (813 children of 1,855 total)
• The majority (62% – 1,309 of 2,122) of civilian deaths from airstrikes were caused by international forces.
• The majority (50% – 2,000 of 3,977) of overall civilian casualties (deaths and injuries) were also caused by international forces.
• Overall casualties from international airstrikes more than tripled between 2017 and 2019, from 247 to 757.

Reminds me of the 1983 movie "Blue Thunder". A new attack helicopter was being demonstrated by shooting up a bus filled with civilians and terrorist, as per silhouette's placed on the seats. The "Blue Thunder" helicopter attacked and 'killed' everyone on the bus.

I remember that movie. Roy Scheider lands the chopper in front of a train at the end.

Usually nobel peace prizes go to unselfish people , not ones with alterior motives.

Barry earned the NPP for being at war for eight years?

And dropping more bombs on more brown people than any human in history.

 

[Astrostar]

President Trump could care less about the Nobel Peace Prize.

He knows those antisemites won't give it to him and he's cool with that.

Are you nuts; Dump pines and lusts for the Nobel Peace Prize. He would sell Mrs. Trump and all the little Trumps to get it! President Obama getting one was a kick in the nuts for Trump.

No, Obama shouldn't have won it either. There's no peace in US presidents.

LOLLOLLL, it's near the top of 'Individual Awards' that he thinks he is entitled to.

Dear Lord, the child is obsessed with the Nobel Peace Prize.
Make him accomplish something first.





I will end the Russia-Ukraine war on day ONE, possibly even before I take office.............. Still waiting.

I have brokered a total ceasefire.........NOPE, broken within hours of his FALSE Tweet.

Sounds like you're saying the Peace Prize doesn't really have anything to do with actually bringing peace.

1. Obama got it for literally having done nothing to earn it, then proceeded to violate the very concept of a peace prize.
2. You seem to be claiming that a person's personal life should override any contributions they actually made to world peace.

Interesting concept.

A man threatening to invade Greenland is not going to win a peace prize

A man who literally did nothing to earn it got one, then proceeded to violate the very basis of the prize, yet they did not rescind it. TRUMP! should have gotten one from his first term alone.

It's become a FAKE prize corrupted by shit stain leftist assholes.

Obama was born to mixed race parents at a time his father would have been lynched in much of America

He rose to become President

A historic achievement

Trump threatens to invade Greenland

 

[struth]

No other blacks managed to do that in over 200 years
A historic achievement

Many black people won the Nobel prize, long before Obama
