Do you literally not remember all the times world leaders have lined up to award & praise Trump to try to get their way? That's just sensible foreign relations by world leaders who understand the type of shallow, transactional idiot Trump is. Without insight about Machado, how does this look any different to you?
Are my edits not showing up or something? Someone else commented what I had already edited in.
I misremembered a story about Machado, then I linked an article that corrected me. I never said this looked different, just that you can't make this shit up and compared her to literally everybody else.
Your question
pretty much did unless you're assuming that peaceful pragmatism[^pragmatism] is incompatible with a peace award (in which case, that's daft as hell).
[^pragmatism]: by trading meaningless trinkets to bid one's time with a geopolitical threat (with a 4 year term) & minimize conflicts that you're in no position to win & will hurt your people
Again, see my edits. My initial comment was based on something I remembered incorrectly, and then I corrected myself.
Your edits address nothing I wrote. That you think they should (when they really do the opposite) indicates poor reading comprehension.
