Now he just needs Putin and Ramzan to nominate him.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

Will they release the Trump-Epstein files if he wins?

Is this part of tariff deal?

[–] thebeardedpotato@lemmy.world 46 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Sounds like it lol.

Based on the article, the deputy prime minister added that he’s grateful for the reduced tariff in the same statement in which he said they’d nominate the orange buffoon.

They could not be more transparent.

The tariffs on places like Cambodia reveal how little it has to do with domestic industry because Cambodia has basically zero manufacturing. Its exports are almost all raw inputs we'd need to import for manufacturing. Instead, the tariffs are simple imperialistic extortion.

And it is expected for countries like this to even out the trade deficit... anyway i still think it's the right choice on the combodia side. edit: make the reply more relevant to the post

"We acknowledge his great efforts for peace," said Chanthol, also Cambodia's top trade negotiator, adding that his country was also grateful for a reduced tariff rate of 19%.

I just assumed it was to gain favor with trump for whatever reason.

Maybe Trump can share his Nobel Peace Prize with Putin and Netanyahu.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

And they could give one posthumously to Hitler.

[–] slevinkelevra@sh.itjust.works 25 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

After all, he did cause Europe to be at peace since 1945 /s

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

He did kill Hitler after all...

That never gets old.

Don't forget kissinger, that rat fuck won one

And that's why I am in favour of abolishing the Nobel peace prize. It's a clearly politically charged award that rewards an individual's or group's actions during a particular snapshot in time, which they then get to have as their accolades for the rest of their lives.

And yes, you could make that argument for every Nobel prize, but unlike rewarding peace efforts that the nominee could undermine or even undo the next day after receiving the award, you can't un-invent a scientific breakthrough.

...they're that desperate to not get steamrolled by Thailand, huh?

[–] Thorry84@feddit.nl 17 points 20 hours ago

Please let me off this ride, it hasn't been fun for 10 years now, please

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Er... Malaysia did the peace talks.

[–] TheEntity@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Surely they mean the Nobel Piss Prize.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 1 points 14 hours ago

Yeah, but he's already orange. Trump I mean.

[–] bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 6 points 21 hours ago

Did they mean piece of shit prize?
