Would have preferred it going to aid workers in Gaza or something like that but an NED-funded dissident politician will do as long as it's not Donald Trump.

Greta or aid workers in Gaza would have been great choices

lol Greta would be a great choice. It would piss off so many people and satisfy the real goal of the peace prize: to stir up controversy.

If only it was that simple. The real goal seems to be laundering the reputation of (bad) troublemakers and warmongers.
