A senior Ukrainian lawmaker who put Donald Trump forward for a Nobel Peace Prize has withdrawn his nomination.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.”

Why nominate his bitch ass in the first place?
Probably trying to flatter him into pressuring Russia.
This is a good theory.
It’s not a bad idea, he’ll do anything for himself and he’d love the kudos of this
I mean, it helped with Obama. He was such a peaceful president.
Careful, try not to cut yourself on that edge!
Die fuhrer is a narcissist. Could have been trying to entice die fuhrer to support Ukraine over Daddy.
Die fuhrerschnitzel
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.
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.
Appeasement.
Because anyone can get nominated but it takes a real dickhead to be rescinded lol
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 conservatives are still salty about Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize. We’ve basically forgotten about it, but they think about that all the time.

I just want to thank you for the Corner Gas reference.
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?
We’ve blown way past idiocracy now. we’re deep into ‘don’t look up’ now
Going towards The Handmaid’s Tale
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.
They did. I am confused too.
“I wanna suck his balls!”
“No, I want them balls, fuck off!”
“Hey, I was here first, his balls are already in my mouth, wait your turn bro!”
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?
Oh man, I thought he had that in the bag too.

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.
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.
Yeah we can work on it. The prize could be a bag of cow turd from that company.
Like Gretzky in fantasy hockey
Regretzky, the Great Once, now a MAGA chud.

FFS. I find he’s a koolaid splooge drinker this way?
It’s called the “Golden Diaper.”
i am the candidate of peace. now… REST IN PIECES!!! 💣💣💥💥💥
he is a peace of shit, that’s for sure
I would have thought Ukraine would pull him the moment of that stupid White House incident.
I mean that’s a great assessment, nothing to add. I’m just not sure why it took him this long.
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.
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.
Brilliant idea really.
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”

Why the fuck did he sign it
Dear Diary, I’m hungry.
Signed, me.
Dear you,
Me too. Maybe a crepe?
Signed,
Me
Dear Dairy,
Crepes make me gassy do you have any cheese?
Signed,
Me
He’s senile as shit. Probably thinks it’s more official if he reasserts he knows his own name. Especially after calling himself “donakd”.
Wait when did he say Donakd?
Like, Yesterday 🤣
I found this: yahoo.com/…/donald-trump-deletes-awkward-typo-075…
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
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.
I’ve given up trying to understand that man’s thought processes. I’ve decided he has none.
This is like boomers signing text messages.
Sincerely,
Empricorn
My dad does that.

My mom uses emojis as a signature
Which ones? Varies?
normally a combination of some flowers
You may need to warn her about peaches.
That’s actually adorable.
👻
WHY AREN’T YOU ALL WRITING IN UPPERCASE LETTERS TO SHOW YOURE HUGE PENIS? ME, USER OF THE LEMMY THING
Thankfully, he does not write in all caps!
CAPITAL LETTERS ARE MORE POWERFUL THAN THE LESSER LOWER CASE. PHIL, LINGUIST
because my huge dick is in another room right now licking his asshole.
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,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

“I am a surgeon!” energy
Any man who has to say, ‘I am the king’ is no true king.
Any person demanding loyalty doesn’t deserve it.
sweet off to cheat on the husband
The all-caps makes it official.
The J stands for jerkoff
I’m surprised he spelled the country correctly
This is some I Declare Bankruptcy energy lol
Give the idiot a peas prize, not like he can read.
um, duh?
Dildos can’t win peace prize.
Why?
Fuck it, nothing means anything anymore. All institutions are crumbling. Give ‘em the Nobel Prize, give ‘em the Fields Medal, give ‘em the Heisman Trophy, give ‘em the Mark Twain award.
Yeah, I had the tiniest bit of faith in the Anti Defamation League, but after they called Musk’s stunt fair game I realized pockets of money could even buy ethics groups. From here on out, unless a group manages to zero its profits or earnings by the end of the year, they’re untrustworthy.
The ADL has been an anti-Palestinian hate group for years.
I stopped trusting humans in general. There is a good chance that anyone you meet on the street is a cryptofascist.
what is the crypto in cryptofascist?
Hidden closeted or undercover
The Peace Prize should be given to those who give justice and that’s certainly not Trump.
Nor are most of the actual recipients.
This FUCK is unbelievable. He wants a cookie for withdrawing a nomination which should never have been made in the first place? Should we applaud?

Read this garbage, talking about appeasement. This Merezhko a fascist himself, and every accusation is a confession. What about the literal far right extremists and nazi sympathizers in Ukraine who are responsible for the maidan massacre and helped grab power and start and escalate the civil war? What a fucking farce.
It needs to become clear to everyone that you can’t just demonize Putin and deify tools like Trump or also Obama. They all play geopolitics. They all only care about gaining and maintaining power. The world has gone fucking insane believing this shit.
Can someone tell Pakistan there is a form to withdraw your nomination? That’d be great, thank you.
He’s not having a good week so far.
