Trump continues to pursue his perverse ambition to win [14] the Nobel Peace Prize—now proferring "peace" plans for Ukraine [15] and Gaza [16] that would actually reward war crimes, and therefore portend wider war. In both cases these new "peace" plans are merely sanitized recapitulations of earlier proposals—for the surrender of the Donbas and Crimea [17] to Russia, and for Israeli annexation [18] of the Occupied Palestinian Territories and "transfer [19]" of their indigenous inhabitants. Meanwhile, the actual winner of this year's Peace Prize, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, is obsequiously pandering [20] to Trump, and playing along [21] with his bellicose designs [22] on her country. In Episode 306 of the CounterVortex podcast [23], Bill Weinberg cuts through the Orwellian war-is-peace propaganda.
