Invade a country or two, try to start a war, attack gays, and be an overall terrible person…and get nominated for a peace prize. Doesn't put much value on the Peace Prize :afr: :afr: :afr: :afr:

As I read it, only Russia put him in. Nobody actually are going to vote for him… #justsayin

Dear God, if he wins, we might as well just blow up the entire earth because we would have truly fucked up hard.

Putin nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
Anti-gay Russian President Vladimir Putin is nominated for Nobel Peace Prize despite his human rights abuses and being named ‘czar of homophobia’
02 OCTOBER 2013 | BY TRIS REID-SMITH
He’s been dubbed the ‘czar of homophobia’ and criticized as a human rights abuser and warmonger, but Vladimir Putin has now been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
He has been put forward by a Russian advocacy group, citing his efforts to dismantle Syria’s chemical weapons stockpile and stop a US missile strike on the country.
Russia’s International Academy of Spiritual Unity and Cooperation of Peoples of the World justifies its nomination by saying he is more deserving than 2009 winner Barack Obama.
Backing the nomination, Iosif Kobzon, a popular Russian singer and a member of the Duma parliament, said: ‘Barack Obama has the title of Nobel Prize winner – the man who initiated and approved such aggressive actions on the part of the United States of America as in Iraq, Afghanistan, some others, and now is preparing for invasion of Syria.
‘I think our president, who is trying to stop the bloodshed, who is trying to help to resolve this conflict situation through a political dialogue, through diplomatic language, deserves this title more.’
That’s according to the New York Times, who however, included a counter argument in their report, saying: ‘He is credited with commanding a war to crush separatism in Chechnya, approving a full-scale attack on Georgia over a minor border dispute and complaining when NATO led an air war in Libya to stop Colonel Muammar el-Qaddafi from killing thousands of Libyans.
‘And he is still selling weapons to the murderous government of President Bashar al-Assad of Syria.’
Putin may not be able to win until 2014 however, as all nominations for the 2013 winner had to be in by February this year, unless the nominee is put forward by a member of the voting committee.
This year’s winner will be announced on 11 October in Oslo.
Nobel Peace Prize lost all credibility when they gave one to President Barack Hussein Osama

I think we ought to quote Tom Lehrer:
Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
One of his most quoted quips, on the awarding of the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize to Henry Kissinger
