Pakistan recommends Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize
Who saw this coming? Not I. Not even me.
And yet:
ISLAMABAD: The government has formally decided to recommend US President Donald Trump for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize, praising his decisive diplomatic intervention and leadership during the recent Pakistan-India standoff, according to an official statement released Friday. …
In formally backing Trump’s Nobel nomination, the statement said: “President Trump’s leadership during the 2025 Pakistan–India crisis manifestly showcases the continuation of his legacy of pragmatic diplomacy and effective peace-building.”
He should have gotten it for the Abraham Accords during his first term.
The planet is anti-semitic, so will not applaud the Abraham Accords.
Is this a ploy to get him distracted from the Iran problem?
But…but…mean tweets!
Maybe it’s just me but I suspect that Pakistan has some ulterior motive here. Not that I wouldn’t love to see Trump awarded the NPP and then reject it because it was devalued by Arafat and Obama.
Well the sharifs and the boys of aapbara who helped depose imran khan usually have an angle but it did forestall a mild nuclear exchange
There was also the formalizing of the rwanda congo deal this week
Barky got one for being a Good Leftist
Not just you, FOAF
@FOAF: Maybe it’s just me but I suspect that Pakistan has some ulterior motive here.
Trump is the Strong Horse.
TRUMP HAS JUST ANNOUNCED THAT THE U.S. HAS BOMBED THREE NUCLEAR TARGETS IN IRAN– FORDOW, NATANZ,, AND ISFAHAN, AND THAT A FULL LOAD OF BOMBS (GBU-57 30,000 POUND BUNKER BUSTERS I PRESUME) WAS DROPPED ON FORDOW.*

Snow on Pine:
I caught wind of that a few hours ago on more questionable sites but it is true. Even wiki says so and quotes Trump:
_____________________________
We have completed our very successful attack on the three nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I had a feeling Trump wasn’t going to give Iran two weeks to FAFO.
Trump should get the NPP for obliterating Fordow.
Not sure where to place this extraordinarily moving, intelligent article, but the current post—on Pakistan, Trump and the Nobel Peace Prize—will have to do…

@ Barry – thank you so much for the link to “Reading Home after October 7” — that was an outstanding, and very insightful article.
Pleasure…
(Something very special…though perhaps easily overlooked….)
