January 31st was the last deadline to nominate candidates for the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize.

If anyone hesitated (more precisely, the nomenclators were slow), then that's it, the train left.

Now only for the 2022 Prize.

We do not recognize the names of all those nominated.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee has kept the names of candidates secret for half a century.

However, nomenclators - this is not prohibited - often publicly announce who they have nominated, and there are already a fair number of such unclassified nominees.

And at the same time it is extremely diverse.

Belarusian fighters against Lukashenko: Tihanovskaya - Kolesnikova - Tsepkalo.

Anglo-Saxon Leviathan Fighters: Assange, Manning, Snowden.

Single wrestler Navalny and single wrestler Trump.

And Greta Thunberg, who will receive many nominations in the future.

There are also legal entities: NATO, the BLM movement, WHO, the UN refugee agency, the Hong Kong media fighting Han totalitarianism, and Reporters Without Borders.

It is not entirely clear what the International Space Station (ISS) is fighting for, flying in orbit, but it was also recorded.

All nominees must prove which of them is best performed by a notary recorded November 27, 1895 Nobel covenants: "The fifth (premium, there are still four other -.

, MS

) - the one who has made the most significant contribution to the unity of nations, the abolition of slavery or reducing the number of existing armies and facilitating the holding of peace congresses ”.

If the Norwegian Nobel Committee strictly followed the will, Donald Trump, the untimely resignation of the presidency of the United States, would be the undisputed favorite of the 2021 Nobeliad.

A lot of bad things have been said about him, but he is the only one who promoted the peace agreements (on the Korean Peninsula and the Middle East), and the only US president in so many years who has not fought.

Compared to Bush Jr. or Obama (the Peace Prize winner, by the way, who set fire to the Arab East) Trump is just an angel of peacefulness.

It is not very clear what the ISS, the refugee agency and the WHO can take credit for - there are no outstanding or even just any achievements.

However, they can be classified as "rallying nations" or "holding peace congresses".

The benefits are not too much, but neither is the harm.

It's harder to say about NATO, and it's not a jubilee year for it, but the nomenklators probably think that the more often the North Atlantic military bloc is declared an outstanding fighter for peace, the better (see Khoja Nasreddin's advice to say the word "halva").

But, of course, the nominations for uncompromising wrestlers are of the greatest interest.

Greta, Navalny, Assange & Co., Tihanovskaya & Co.

and of course BLM.

In the latter case, the struggle is such that, not like people, the devils are sick.

What, however, this has to do with the precepts of Nobel himself, is unclear.

If he lived now, he would say: "I understand this as an exacerbation of the class struggle, but what does peacemaking idealism have to do with it?"

However, there is nothing you can do about it.

Now it is proposed to give awards on the principle of either "more hell!", Or at least "more hype!"

(such would be the BLM or "Berlin patient" award).

Either on the principle "yes, get off you" - for which there is always the ISS or the UN agency.

In the best case, an unknown philanthropist is awarded ex partibus infidelium, about whom nothing was known until the announcement of the decision.

There is, however, a risk that the philanthropist is very peculiar, but there is also a good person.

As for Trump, who perfectly matches the will of the dynamite king, compliance is laudable, but his chances are minimal.

Oslo does not want peace, but trend following.

And here Trump is no sideways.
