    And why not? At least Putin did something substantial to promote peace, rather than spew out demagogic rhetoric to get votes... like some others we know. :roll:


    UK’s Lord Truscott nominates Putin for Nobel peace prize

    Lord Truscott, a peer in the UK’s House of Lords, has nominated Russian President Vladimir Putin for the Nobel peace prize, RIA Novosti reported. Truscott said in a statement that Putin’s Syria peace initiative stopped the war from escalating and placed the country's vast chemical arms arsenal under international control. Truscott is also author of a Putin biography.

    Yeah, I agree with that. Obama won, why not Putin?

    Putin at least did something to earn it.

    If won, I hope Putin do the right thing, and refuse it. Being in the same company as Arafat and Obama is not very honorable....

    Let's just say Obama f'd up. Had he really wanted to blow up Syria, he wouldn't have waited for somebody to get in the way. Like Bush.

    And we see yet another reason why the Nobel Peace Prize is a joke.

    It's been a joke ever since Henry Kissinger received it.

    What makes Rabin undeserving of it?

    At least he will have actually did something to earn it, unlike that clueless buffoon we have polluteing our white house who has escallated war and not prevent it. Putin is also a real man, not a feminized urbanite loser like that clueless buffoon we have polluteing our white house.

    Utterly meaningless...

    I didn't realize statism is a measure of being a man.

    As much as people complain about Obama being a big government president, Putin is far more statist than Obama.

    But I guess conservatives will compliment anyone as long as they are being compared to Obama.

    That is hardly the inference I was using. Putin is a neo-commie loser just like Chairman MaO'Bama. But Putin's lifestyle is manly, not pansified panty waste like hisloserness.

    I am not a conservative. I am an actual American liberal. I am not a progressive leftist loser who hi-jacked liberalism as camoflauge for their America destroying agenda.

    IN other words , you've got a problem telling your left from right , and right from wrong , Huh ?

    Forgive me , but I don't understand why several -:apparent - "Americans" use the term "liberal" as a pejorative '

    No. I have a brain and now what I am about and I have no problem with enlightening you and other MaO'Bama voters as to the truth. Liberalism is not a pejorative. It is being what an American is. But I would never expect a loyal subject of the queen to understand the difference.

    We give Nobel peace prizes to terrorists, why should Putin be excluded?

    If we assume that the Nobel Peace Prize is really about Peace Makers, then President Putin is a good candidate in that he saved Russia from dismantlement and is restoring Russia. Putin stopped the slaughter of several hundred thousand people in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, much to the opposition, anger and distress of US and European politicians.

    More recently he stopped the USA from launching a full scale war against the people of Syria.

    These accomplishments are miraculous considering the forces arrayed against Putin's Peace Efforts.

    What did Putin do other than not bow down to our wishes so we could destroy him? :crazy:

    Putin is a bit statist, but nowhere near like Obama.. Obama has trampled like half of everybody's rights and helped cement pretty much total control in so many things into the federal government.

    Putin has probably trampled on less rights than Obama, but that's because Russians have few rights to begin with.

    Putin doesn't legislate.. I thought you were making an individual comparison between heads of state, not the countries themselves. Yes there are human rights issues in Russia but no worse than the USA.. Remember the spying ring and the gulag where people get tortured with no trial and the centralization of power into the Federal Reserve, and the ACA and the etc. and these are all Obama.. Putin has a list but it's just not as big.

    While I'd agree that our government has been up to some shady things, we're not on the Russia level when it comes to abuses. Obama is also not on Putin's level with that either.

    However, if you really believe that, I'm surprised you're still here. If I truly believed we were on the same level as Russia in terms of abuse of power and human rights issues, I'd already be in Canada.

    I've given you some examples for Obama, perhaps you could provide some for Putin?
