      They gave it to fucking Kissinger after a decade of firebombing South East Asia defending French colonialism; murdering a million peasants who only wanted a plot of land to grow rice; denying the Vietnamese people their basic human right to democracy the entire god damn time.

      That was over 5 decades ago. The prize is a joke, decided by oligarchs who are not like us, and wield it as a political tool… always has been.
