'Trump sent a letter to Norway’s prime minister Jonas Gahr Støre telling him that “considering your country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace.”'
Trump was never interested in peace, and the liar never stopped 8 wars, he just falsely claimed he did. All because of his demented racist hatred of Barack Obama, and he got something Trump will never have, a Nobel Peace Prize.

Trump is America's very own Caligula or Nero for the modern age, a mad wannabe Emperor of a non-existent empire, making lunatic pronouncements, and he should be in a lunatic asylum for the criminally insane - for public protection.
3/
Most of these lunatic emperors in history, from Nero, Caligula, Napoleon, Hitler etc, were relatively young compared to Trump, who might have realistically ruled over their envisaged empires for some time. Whereas Trump is a rancid old senile octogenarian, in poor health.
4/
This is the extra dimension to this lunatic, power mad, wannabe emperor, and that he is never going to see his imaginary empire, because he'll either be dead, or so senile, he won't know or remember anything.
5/
Trump has got where he is, playing on the racist, white supremacist, sentiment, which has run through America, since Manifest Destiny, in the 19th Century. But Trump is just a conman, he doesn't really have a coherent vision, he just pretends to.
As I've explained before, Trump's bubble of right wing populism, is about to pop and implode. MAGA are already fighting like ferrets in a sack, and when MAGA voters wake up to find no healthcare for them, rising food prices and climate change, this bubble will burst.
7/
As all the other right wing leaders of the world have pinned themselves to Trump, they will implode with him. Who knows exactly how it'll end with rancid old Trump's demise, his descent into senile madness, or ripped apart by his own supporter base. But it will end, soon.
8/
It cannot carry on. This third term fantasy is just that. Trump is already visibly rotting in front of our eyes, so even if somehow he gets to the end of this term, he will be a decrepit, ranting senile lunatic, that not even his most fanatical supporters can believe in.
9/
Nor will it continue with anyone else, because this whole far right vision, is incoherent and based on one lie piled on top of another. Climate change is real and getting worse, and they have bet the house on climate change denial.
10/
Their vision of a white supremacy society, is just a joke, a Walmart vision, of Nazi pseudo-science, another con job. This economic miracle Trump has been selling, will be revealed as the Emperor's clothes, and that Trump is butt naked.
11/
The oligarch/billionaires behind Trump and modern fascism, with their unrealistic visions of control, flying to Mars and AI, and their own climate change denial, will turn people against them. It will not end well for them.
12/
There is no realistic future vision, just a pile of incoherent, unrealistic fantasy. It has a very limited time span, because climate change and ecological unsustainably will call time on this fantasy. They are at base, all conmen.
13/
It always ends badly for conmen, selling a lie. How long did Hitler's thousand year Reich last? Barely over 10 years. Napoleon's reign didn't last long. None of these lunatic visions of megalomaniacs lasted long.
14/
Given Trump's age, health, both mental and physical, it's going to be an even shorter journey than most of history's megalomaniacs.
Fantasists and conmen, the lot of them.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee made a major error in awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to Maria Machado, and failed to properly vet her. Just after the awards, several journalists dug into her past, finding she consorted with fascists, and violence.
This is the latest in a long line of inappropriate awards to political figure who then went on to promote violent military action and repression. They include Henry Kissinger, Barack Obama and Aung San Suu Kyi. That is not an exhaustive list of inappropriate awards.
2/
The Norwegian Nobel Committee needs to stop awarding Nobel Peace Prizes to mainstream politicians, unless there is exceptional evidence that they have renounced violence. Mainstream politicians always use false rhetoric and are compromised on morals and ethics.

Almost certainly, Donald Trump's attempt to take over Greenland, has got nothing whatsoever to do with security, and this is complete misdirection.
It is about an aim to create an American empire, to get control of all mineral and oil reserves in the area.
1/🧵
We can be quite certain of this, as opening up mineral and oil reserves is almost certainly what the oligarchs and big corporations that back Trump want. It is a clear strategy, and is almost certainly what lies behind his attempt to annexe Canada.
2/
It can clearly be seen, that this was Trump's main pre-occupation with Venezuela, oil, not regime change or a particular regime. He wants US control of Venezuela. We can't be certain, who or what lies behind this.
3/
I want to demonstrate Donald Trump's highly abnormal pathology, with one issue, that is being treated as a bit of a joke. However, as he is deadly serious about it, we should take it seriously. His obsession with getting a Nobel Peace Prize.
1/🧵
The first, and most important aspect of this obsession, is that Trump can't claim he is doing this for America. This is purely about Trump's vanity and ego. There would be no material net gain for America, if it happened.
2/
The second, and most important point, is that Trump is objectively unfit to even be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been threatening to annexe, or militarily invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and South American countries from day one of his second term.
3/
The murder of this woman by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, throws into sharp relief what a liar Donald Trump and his acolytes are. Trump claims to have watched the footage and seen her run over an ICE agent, deliberately, using her car as a weapon. We can all see from the footage, that's untrue.
1/🧵
Either Trump and his administration, all have seriously defective eyesight, or they are knowing liars. The footage clearly show no ICE agent was struck by the car, and the woman had turned the wheels away from them. She also set off at low speed. Meaning the shooting was not self-defence.
2/
The reason I think this is so important for determining that Trump is a knowing liar, along with other key members of his administration, is because the footage is there for everyone to see, and Trump and others claim to have seen the footage, and come to their conclusions based on this.
3/
Not since Hitler and the Nazis, has the leader of a major power said openly that they intend to annex and expropriate territory and countries, it has no historical territorial claim to. Donald Trump is openly acting like Hitler and the Nazis.
1/🧵
I am not saying Russia and China are right, but they do have historical territorial claims to Ukraine and Taiwan, because they used to be part of their countries. Whereas the US has no historical territorial claims to Canada or Greenland, as they've never been part of the US.
2/
In fact, there is a huge moral problem with historical territorial claims to other countries or territories, but that is another issue. I am only saying there is some basis to their claims. But there is none to the demands of Trump and the US regime. Pure gangsterism.
3/
Let's deconstruct Trump's kidnapping of Maduro, which is not quite the show of American strength it might first appear. It has been widely reported, that the US had inside help i.e. someone in Maduro's circle, reporting his location. This is what allowed the US to do this.
1/🧵
Without this, it'd have been difficult for the US to mount this raid, as reliable real time intelligence, is crucial to this type of operation. Even if it's known a target is often at a location, this isn't enough, because they may have been elsewhere at the time of the raid.
2/
Presumably, the insider provided other information, such as layout, the numbers of bodyguards, their arrangement, nearby military forces that could come to the rescue. If the US had failed, it would have alerted Maduro to their intentions.
