In Donald Trump's perverse ambition [25] to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he is citing his supposed diplomatic victories in ending six conflicts: Armenia-Azerbaijan [26], Congo-Rwanda [27], Israel-Iran [28], India-Pakistan [29], Thailand-Cambodia [30] and Egypt-Ethiopia [31]. In Episode 292 [32] of the CounterVortex podcast [33], Bill Weinberg examines each of these examples, and breaks down how claims to have won "peace" are either extremely overstated or (more often) total Orwellian jive. The implication that Russia-Ukraine [34] will be next, as Putin escalates his aggression [35], puts a hideous crown on the irony.
