“That’s completely unheard of,” Janne Haaland Matlary, a professor with the University of Oslo and a former politician, told public broadcaster NRK. “It’s a total lack of respect for the award, on her part,” she said, calling the act “meaningless” and “pathetic.”
LOL @ the both of them.
I would put this as sucking up.
Yeah sure either way he isn’t into it.
Are you blind? He needs constant praise and rewards those that do it and punishes those that don’t.
He wants it from people who are useful to him. I’m not blind.
Look at how he treated Zelensky and Machado. They come in and suck up, but he doesn’t see them as useful.
Other leaders who openly dislike him (and he dislikes back, on a political level), such as Mamdani, Sheinbaum, and even Kim Jong Un, more easily get on his good side without sucking up (they sometimes throw a little praise his way, as you’ve observed).
When you take it too far it falls flat
He wants it from everyone. Zelensky have you even said thank you once (yes I know it was Vance but Vance is just propping him up). I’m not gonna bother with this if you’re this blind. Ciao.
Why are you calling me blind? Why are you so closed minded about soemthibgbso inconsequential like “the precise amount of praise wants from each party”?
This rude behavior is ripped straight from The Everything App^TM
