Yes another Trump nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize

I think the number of major nominations is at least three: Putin, Pakistan, some GOP Congressmen just did—hoping desperately that sucking his mushroom will give them some advantage.

Journalist Masha Gessen in The NY Times breaks down all the “peace” Trump claims to have made (part of her excellent opinion peace talking about how Putin is demanding more land, during negotiations, than his troops have been able to hold):

“And that brings me to the number “six” — something Trump kept invoking on Monday, when he claimed that he had resolved that many wars in his first seven months in office. The conflicts he is taking credit for resolving seem to be the ones between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda (little evidence that it’s over); Egypt and Ethiopia (ditto); India and Pakistan (there is evidence of very little U.S. involvement); Kosovo and Serbia (same); Armenia and Azerbaijan (ditto, but the sides did go to the White House to sign an agreement); Cambodia and Thailand (U.S.-backed talks resulted in a cease-fire, not necessarily an end to the conflict); Israel and Iran (Trump claims to have prevented a nuclear war by dropping bunker-busting bombs). That’s actually seven. But also, none.”
