I think the Nobel Peace prize has lost a lot of merit over the years. It still finds a way to go to those who’re deserving. But then we have people like Obama, Kissinger, Yasser Arafat and the EU in 2012 that wound up with that has put a dent in its legitimacy and legacy.
Disagree about the EU. Europe has had so many wars, and the EU managed to get the nations talking and trading. It has done lots for peace but its hard to measure wars that don’t happen.
