    President Vladimir Putin totally does deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. It's not that difficult for some people to get one since they have lots of free time to promote peace. But Putin is the leader of the largest country on the planet and he still makes time to try and resolve serious issues peacefully. I also think that Barack Obama should lose his prize. He openly admitted that he was sending aid and weapons to terrorist-linked groups in Syria and that does not promote peace. And he tried to bomb Syria's legitimate leaders. Imo, the Nobel Peace Prize committee should be investigated for possible corruption. Their 2014 decision was seriously wonky.

    The president idolized so much by certain people here has been sending weapons and military equipment to the Assad regime in Syria for years, and he doesn't intend to stop, and doesn't hide the fact he doesn't. How does that add up to peace, anywhere, any time?

    FYI: Legitimate leaders do not command to shoot dead peaceful demonstrations.

    You are entitle to your opinion, but again the topic is not about Obama. I have to give you a warning.

    Um... just because of that?! Does the name "Yasser Arafat" ring a bell? Not to mention Henry Kissinger -- and less-famous names like Cordell Hull (who, as US Secretary of State, had opposed giving asylum to Jewish refugees in WW2, but was a tireless promoter of the UN).
