A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.
Oleksandr Merezhko, the head of Ukraine’s parliamentary foreign committee, told Newsweek on Tuesday that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Merezhko said Trump had “virtually no reaction” to large-scale strikes on the Ukrainian capital in recent weeks, adding: “He has chosen the path of appeasement.”

Oh cmon, look at how hard Donny is trying to make a peace happen, he’s even saying mean things about Israel now. “No new wars”
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

The all-caps makes it official.

Any man who has to say, ‘I am the king’ is no true king.
Any person demanding loyalty doesn’t deserve it.
Why the fuck did he sign it
I’ve given up trying to understand that man’s thought processes. I’ve decided he has none.
Because that’s what old fucking people do on text or Facebook
The idea that he doesn’t know how to properly use his own social media platform is honestly hilarious.

He’s senile as shit. Probably thinks it’s more official if he reasserts he knows his own name. Especially after calling himself “donakd”.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Wait when did he say Donakd?
Like, Yesterday 🤣

Dear samus12345
Regarding your previous commentary, I would like to remark that you neglected to properly adress the gentleman whom you were replying to.
I sure hope your father shows far better attitude when writing to the world wide web. I highly recommend to ask them for advice on how to improve your formal language.
Yours Sincerely,

WHY AREN’T YOU ALL WRITING IN UPPERCASE LETTERS TO SHOW YOURE HUGE PENIS? ME, USER OF THE LEMMY THING
CAPITAL LETTERS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE LESSER LOWER CASE. PHIL, LINGUIST
Thankfully, he does not write in all caps!
My mom uses emojis as a signature
That’s actually adorable.
👻
Which ones? Varies?
normally a combination of some flowers
Dildos can’t win peace prize.
Lol you’ll never win you piece of human garbage
Maybe if it was the Nobel Rape prize, or the Nobel Fraud prize, or the Nobel Fleece People For Everything They’ve Got Prize, you’d have a chance.
he is a peace of shit, that’s for sure
I think it’s the trump prize of fraud, rape, lies. Etc we should establish.
The category is too big. Probably have to split it.
Like Gretzky in fantasy hockey
Regretzky, the Great Once, now a MAGA chud.
Yeah we can work on it. The prize could be a bag of cow turd from that company.
It’s called the “Golden Diaper.”
i am the candidate of peace. now… REST IN PIECES!!! 💣💣💥💥💥
um, duh?
that he had “lost any sort of faith and belief” in Trump and his ability to secure a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
I mean that’s a great assessment, nothing to add. I’m just not sure why it took him this long.
Read between the lines. He actually lost faith that sucking up to Trump will do anything at all.
Appealing to Trump’s vanity to get their way wasn’t a bad idea. We all know he’s narcissism incarnate.
Sometimes you can get what you want out of Trump by trying to appease him. In this case, his love of Putin is too strong for it to work, though.
Why nominate his bitch ass in the first place?
Probably trying to flatter him into pressuring Russia.
It’s not a bad idea, he’ll do anything for himself and he’d love the kudos of this
This is a good theory.
I mean, it helped with Obama. He was such a peaceful president.
Careful, try not to cut yourself on that edge!
As per the article: Oleksandr Merezhko. Without knowing more about him, he does seem genuinely far from being on Russia’s payroll or part of the proto-fascist elements (beyond potentially the usual accidentally being a useful idiot like many centrist liberals end up being, sadly). Seems more like an old school centrist out of his depth, but with genuine convictions for liberalism, for what it’s worth.
My guess is that he either completely misestimated what Trump really is about - or maybe put forth the nomination to bait his narcissist side into doing more, with the prize serving as a carrot on a stick. Either way, he was quite wrong in hoping for Trump doing much to end the war.
The best justification for him receiving the nomination, or even winning, is simply reading the list of previous winners and nominees
Nonsense doublespeak prize for losers and rubes.
Because anyone can get nominated but it takes a real dickhead to be rescinded lol
Die fuhrer is a narcissist. Could have been trying to entice die fuhrer to support Ukraine over Daddy.
You don’t deal with narcissists by placating them. That just reinforces their narcissism and makes it worse.
Oh? So what are you supposed to do?
Search me. I’m no psychiatrist, but mockery works for me. That’s probably not an ideal approach either, but rewarding that kind of behaviour seems worse to me.
It’s best to just try to avoid them altogether, which probably isn’t possible in this case.
Die fuhrerschnitzel
Appeasement.
Really? Why? Didn’t he say he was dropping bombs because it’s time for peace? Why would you withdraw such a noble prize to someone so peace-loving and earnest?
Why?
I just want to thank you for the Corner Gas reference.
Give the idiot a peas prize, not like he can read.
I would have thought Ukraine would pull him the moment of that stupid White House incident.
Oh man, I thought he had that in the bag too.
Wait… I thought Pakistan nominated him. Why nominate him as a Ukrainian when he wants you to give up parts of your invaded land. When he promised to end the war within 24h after inauguration, but did nothing but make a mess. When he’s Putin’s little bitch… Why are people trying so hard to make Idiocracy a reality?
If a Nobel got him to calm down, I’d let him have it. It might as well be so much toilet paper anyway.
If Trump wants to go all full-dictator, he might as well look the part and adorn his chest with medals like a bird hoarding shiny objects.
Contemptible shitbag.
We’ve blown way past idiocracy now. we’re deep into ‘don’t look up’ now
