'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, although it will always be predominant.' How could a man who attacked seven countries last year be given the Nobel Peace prize?

In the last few minutes a letter Donald Trump sent to Norway’s Prime Minister over the weekend has been published.

"Dear Jonas: 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, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? There are no written documents, it’s only that a boat landed there hundreds of years ago, but we had boats landing there, also. I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland. Thank you! President DJT”

The government of Norway has no say in who receives the Nobel Peace Prize. That is decided by the Nobel Institute, a body set up under Alfred Nobel's will which is located in Norway but is an independent entity. 

I knew this when I was ten.

The United States can already station as many troops in Greenland as it likes under an agreement made in 1951 by which the USA recognises Danish sovereignty over the island. 

By an earlier treaty if Denmark wants to give away Greenland she must first offer it to Great Britain but I don't see Starmer asserting his right to first dibs.

How could a man who financed the Israelis in Gaza and attacked seven countries last year be given the Nobel Peace prize?

The idea of taking Greenland was suggested to Trump by his billionaire friend Ronald Lauder who owns assets there.

According to the Center for American Progress, “since Trump was reelected, Trump and his family have amassed more than $1.8 billion in cash and gifts from leveraging the presidency for personal gain, including over $1.2 billion in crypto." 

I wonder if Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner mix diplomacy with business when they talk to Russians, Israelis and Arabs.
