A very worthy recipient! Well done the panel.

What sarcastic comments from me are you thinking of Maremia ?
Yours is the only one I see in your reply about the Nobel Peace Prize winner ‘not being so saintly’.

Maremia Sun 12-Oct-25 10:16:01

Well it's actually up to you Oreo, if you wish to stop posting sarcastic comments on these thread. We all have our own style.

There is an alien on my lawn, can you send help. smile

With your name, there is no such thing as an alien surely!

Oreo Sun 12-Oct-25 10:06:26

I expect you’ll be returned after a bit of probing 🤭

OSLO, NORWAY—After promising on Truth Social that the gathering would be “wild,” on Friday Donald J. Trump summoned angry supporters to a rally outside the headquarters of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Urging his irate loyalists to “stop the steal,” Trump declared, “If you want to win the Nobel Peace Prize, you’ve got to fight like hell.”2
In a brief public statement, the Norwegian Nobel Committee said, “What a baby.”

He was partly right - but you have to fight for peace not fight for the Nobel Peace Prize against other people who are fighting for peace itself.

Oh no am too late, what a shame☹️ I see there is still hot coffee on the table and croissants, mind if I dig in? It was a long tiring journey here.

Hurry they are in the hous.....

Maremia

Well petra and Oreo, I believe folk on here, without knowing them. Unbelievable wink

I think that sarcastic comments can be too cryptic/opaque Maremia and yes, there are people on SM who blindly believe anything at all.

I’m rushing as fast as I can galaxy and carrying my alien blaster and wearing my tinfoil hat, hold them off as long as you can!

Maremia Sun 12-Oct-25 09:54:39

Times of India, have never met them, but they have a discussion about this Nobel lady.

Tell him to phone home.

Weird isn't it, that my comment was picked up. But not the original post. Wonder why that was?

I can see that's doing the rounds on social media, but what is the actual source?

Doubtful isn’t it?

Maremia

Gosh, when you read that, she doesn't sound quite so saintly.

So you believe someone you don’t know who makes unsubstantiated claims about someone you’ve never heard of 🤷‍♀️

That’s what I thought too petra hard to believe isn’t it?

I had thought that if he got the prize, not only was it too early as we do not know what will happen in the weeks and months to follow, but also that Trump might have lost interest if he'd got his much longed for prize. Maybe not getting it will lead to him working hard to maintain the peace in Gaza and also try seriously for peace in Ukraine. Let us hope so. Many of us do not like him - but we are probably all in favour of peace, and Trump is very powerful, so anything which motivates him to end wars is surely welcome.

Good comments.

My DH just showed me a video on Facebook where Trump is saying that Maria Larissa telephoned him and said she was accepting the Noble Prize in his behalf as he deserved it. If it's true that's a slap in the face for the Nobel panel.

That's not what the BBC is reporting about the subject of the phone call:

Oh goodness, the conspiracy theories have started.

Are they coming from the Trump stable?

A plant by the CIA. Suggested the US and Israel should invade her country. Norway is scared of the US. Maduro may be a crook and a tyrant. But The US just wants their oil. She will facilitate that if she ever gets into power. A farce. Greta should have got it.

My goodness Sueinkent where on earth did you get that from? I can't begin to believe any of it. The Nobel panel will have done exhaustive research into the nominees. What has Greta done to deserve it?
