This is building consent for a US war on Venezuela.

Nobel war prize more like, considering the people they award this to.

Imagine appealing to one dictator, in the hopes that they can help you get rid of another? It doesn't get much stupider than this. I guess that Nobel Prize doesn't apply to regime change requests?

Nothing says Peace Prize like Conquering Freedom in dedication to Donald Trump.

I was wondering if the Conquering Freedom bit was a poor translation earlier, guess we have an answer.

...our task: conquer Freedom

That phrasing sounds like they're against freedom.

Machado is anti-chavismo and has disagreed with other sections of the Venezuelan opposition.[102][103][104] In 2011, she campaigned as a promotor of "popular capitalism".[104] Machado supports the privatization of state-run entities in Venezuela, including oil company PDVSA.[70][103]

That's the only reason she won. Americans want their oil

The USA does not determine who wins the Nobel prizes.

That is an impressive amount of ass kissing. Well done.

Further proof that the NPP is bullshit. Like the one they gave to Obama.

I think one of the reasons she was chosen was to protect her from murder or imprisonment. If something bad happens to her it will make the Maduro regime look terrible.
