IDK if this was the play. Obviously Trump shouldn't ever get it but Señora Machado has supported lies told by Trump before and apparently has ties to Jair Bolsonaro. She's giving strong "not anti-imperialist, just supporting a different empire vibes." All in all, I'm left wondering, was this the best person available? We've had a whole movement of people working to end the Palestinian Genocide and this was the best pick?

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

She has supported Trump's bombing of the Venezuelan boats, too. She called it "courageous" and "visionary".
She also formed a formal alliance between her party and the Likud party. She supports Netanyahu and describes Venezuela's struggle and Israel's as aligned.
And, along with Likud, she participated in the far-right Europe Patriots Summit that pushed far-right nationalism and pushing immigrants and Muslims out of Europe.
This award will 100% be used to legitimize her and the US in the upcoming US-led coup attempts in Venezuela.
The award is just cynical bs.
She dedicated her Nobel to Trump on social media.
I think what happened here is that the committee didn't want to lose all of their credibility by giving the award to Trump, but also didn't want to piss him off, so they gave it to one of his allies in his existing fight against Maduro.
What a cunt
