An opponent of strongmen is a good choice I think given current times but it’s been pretty surprising to learn about some of the things she supports. Seems like there were probably better alternatives. Granted I don’t think the committee was validating that stuff at least.

This will end badly. The #NobelPeace Committee often gets it very wrong. Remember Henry Kissinger in 1973, Obama in 2009 & Abiy Ahmed in 2019? How can the Nobel peace committee award this prize to an opposition leader who sides with Trump and Netanyahu, and has invited them to invade #Venezuela?
