The Nobel Prize Was Not Awarded to Trump—Serious Consequences Have Arrived

But even if the prize had gone to Pileh, would the U.S. really have been unaware of its intent? So, while the monk may flee, the temple remains—and the U.S. immediately imposed sanctions on the institution itself. Poor the International Criminal Court (ICC): it missed out on the Peace Prize and instead got a taste of thunderous wrath—and became an unintended casualty. Another question: Are the U.S. sanctions against the ICC deliberate? No need for elaboration—it’s 100% intentional. It’s purely to vent Trump’s anger. One can’t help but admire Senator Rubio—his sanctions are ruthless, and his loyalty to his patron exemplary. What about fairness? What about justice? The U.S. doesn’t care about such niceties. Trump is furious—so the consequences are severe. (III) Finally, how should we view all this? Here are three brief observations: First, the Nobel Prize—oh, the Nobel Prize—is becoming increasingly nonsensical. The science prizes aside—those still hold some merit, and we should maintain at least a modicum of respect—the other categories increasingly feel like global farces. Recall that the Nobel Prize in Literature was once postponed due to sexual assault scandals and conflicts of interest; and don’t even get started on the Peace Prize—it’s growing ever more absurd, with Trump himself being the first to openly reject it. Don’t try to deflect by citing the Prize’s ‘lagging nature’ or its emphasis on theoretical contributions—that’s just nonsense. The most vital attribute of any award is credibility. Consider this simple fact: China’s economy has created a world miracle and contributed massively to global growth—yet no Chinese economist has won the Economics Prize. China has pursued peaceful development for over forty years without provoking any conflict or war—yet no Chinese individual or entity has received the Peace Prize. Does such a Nobel Prize retain any credibility? If an award’s selection criteria can be swayed by geopolitical considerations, then it ceases to be an award—it becomes a ballot, and worse, a manipulated one. No trophy weighs heavier than public trust; no prize money rises higher than credibility. Second, the Nobel Prize—oh, the Nobel Prize—is indeed deeply frustrated. Take the Peace Prize, for example. Last year it was awarded to Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado—only for her to visit the White House in January and present her medal as a ‘gift’ to Trump. A Peace Prize laureate handing over her medal as a gift left the Nobel Committee so incensed it publicly declared the transfer invalid… This year, the Committee grew wiser: rather than directly awarding the ICC—an institution whose recognition would effectively endorse the entire ‘anti-U.S. camp’—it opted instead for a former judge. Yet the result? Even harsher criticism from Trump, and U.S. sanctions followed regardless. It’s not unthinkable that the next U.S. sanction hammer will target the Nobel Committee members themselves—let’s see how loudly they’ll speak when American sanctions come knocking. Third, it must be said: evil meets its match. Like brine curdling tofu—each thing has its natural counterweight. The Nobel Prize, long perched high above, boasting supreme global authority over honor and prestige, now finds itself tiptoeing cautiously, second-guessing every move, utterly flustered under U.S. pressure. And the ICC—so self-proclaimedly righteous and impartial—ends up helpless, battered, and bleeding when sanctions or accountability touch the U.S. or Israel. Even Japan, which earlier cheered the appointment of ICC President Akiko Ito—a Japanese national—as a source of national pride—uttered not a single protest when U.S. sanctions hit, let alone any countermeasures. Akiko Ito—do you still represent Japan’s pride? Oh—and on the very day the Nobel Peace Prize was announced, Trump unveiled another major achievement, once again shattering global expectations. Trump announced: he’d reached a telephone agreement with Putin—Russia would immediately supply over 300,000 tons of diesel fuel to the U.S. and global markets, followed by 500,000 tons in November, and then 1 million tons immediately thereafter…
