"The World Has Become A Safer Place"

[sandyRoe]

So says a Putin spokesman after his telephone conversation with Trump.

Could two people be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize?

[bookbinder]

Not on the basis of a telephone conversation.

[sandyRoe]

Of course two people could be nominated.

I meant could there be joint winners?

[Khandro]

Putin is a psychopathic murderer, wanted internationally for crimes against humanity - Nobel peace prize ? My derrière !

[naomi24]

President Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Begin of Israel were both awarded the peace prize in the same year.

 

 

[bookbinder]

Maybe, but not those two.

[Buenchico]

As has been indicated already, it's not unusual for two (or more) people to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in the same year.

As an example, John Hume and David Trimble were awarded the prize in 1998 “for their efforts to find a peaceful solution to the conflict in Northern Ireland”:

yup - floated here a few weeks a go - by you?

Obama's award drew gasps of surprise from the audience

Kisssinger and Le Duc Tho - - -  Lê Đức Thọ - -  the french thought he was aristocracy - Le Dook refused to pick it  up. He went back to pulling out the finger nails oof his enemies

Of course two people could be nominated.  I meant could there be joint winners?

commonplace in the sciences - I think there is an upper limit ( four or  six)

[barry1010]

I don't think the agitator should be nominated for the Nobel Peace 

[davebro3]

can Hitler win it - posthumously?

[Hymie]

After all, he did kill himself – so can’t have been all bad.

[Old_Geezer]

Setting an example that invading your neighbour, and killing your neighbour's and your own citizens, works for you, is not making the world a safer place. Quite the contrary.

[sandyRoe]

True.  But Putin's spokespersons seem to have in mind 1984 when it comes to the meaning and use of words.

[Khandro]

Trump is out of his depth. He thinks he is doing some kind of 'deal' with one of his cohort New York property developers.

Trump doesn't know quite what he wants other than to stop the war at any price (to Ukraine).

Putin, like Stalin at Yalta, is the only one who knows exactly what he wants.
