Unreal...but after Kissinger winning the Nobel Peace Prize and Tony Blair being made a "Peace Envoy" Gaslighting us all about "Peace" is Western de rigeur.
Applebaum is the kind of out and out propagandist that Brandolinis law was invented to describe: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it..."
Some of you may recall that her husband Radosław Sikorski is all for international peace & harmony likewise as evidenced by his gleeful tweet thanking the US for blowing up the Nordstream pipeline.
-Awarding Anne Applebaum a peace prize is like gifting a flower to a hand grenade.
