Named after a guy who manufactured weapons of war.


Then let's give that PeACe AwARd to Obama, who droned the shite out of "collateral damage" throughout the world and helped start the war in Yemen, on behalf of the Saudis (calling Yemen leadership "Houthie Rebels loyal to Iran" while dipshit Americans of both political parties just drink it in).

Obama, the peaceful president...


So then let's get John Legend to play "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley at the Nobel "Peace" Prize ceremony, the Bob Marley who represented the poor and enslaved and lived among them and was one of them...let's sit and listen while John Legend plays that song on a piano before an auditorium of super rich virtue signalers. Who love war.

Correct, Nobel was not actively involved in the manufacturing of weapons but Nobel formulated the explosive called dynamite that was used extensively in WWI and WWII.



quote:

Nobel himself, however, remains a figure of paradoxes and contradictions: a brilliant, lonely man, part pessimist and part idealist, who invented the powerful explosives used in modern warfare but also established the world's most prestigious prizes for intellectual services rendered to humanity.

Out of guilt knowing that his invention would be used to create unthinkable destruction.

To be fair, he started the Peace Prize as a sort of penance for inventing dynamite.

So anti-aircraft guns are "dynamite"?


It's amazing how much of this forum just makes shite up and likes it that way.

I read this post as disputing that he invented dynamite. It looked like you were claiming someone made up that fact while also claiming he invented whatever guns you were talking about.

Maybe I misunderstood?

I can only surmise you're claiming Alfred Nobel invented anti-aircraft weapons.

The problem is the Wright brothers didn't fly a heavier than air airplane until 1903, years after Nobel died in 1896, and a full 20 years before airplanes were used in WWI.

It seems a little far-fetched that Nobel would have invented something before what it was supposed to be used for wasn't invented until years after his death.

President Trump was nominated four (4) times for the Nobel Peace Prize, and unlike Obama, who did nothing in the cause of peace, President Trump took the bold initiative and reached out to our enemies. Even going so far as to meet with the Supreme Leader of North Korea Kim Jong Un at the Peace Village at Panmunjom between North and South Korea. President Trump did something I NEVER thought I would see in my lifetime - He stood with President Kim Jong Un smiling and shaking hands at the border between North and South. That incident did so much to defuse tension in that region. A region that is now a powder keg waiting to blow up - thanks to Potatus.

IMO President Trump didn't get the Nobel, mainly because the Globalist didn't want him to get it.

Joe Biden schemes for war and profit.President Trump schemes for Peace and Prosperity.

^^^This is correct.

He started or owned over 90 armament manufacturers including Bofors who he helped design cannons.

He also holds several patents on guns, barrel designs and barrel strengthening methods and projectiles.

While his main invention is the safe use of nitroglycerin he came up with a whole lot of ways to use it besides mining.

You're an idiot



ETA: try and follow along; he acquired weapons manufacturing companies, which set in motion, manufactured weapons of war long after his death.


I didn't say he "invented" anti-aircraft weapons. That's you lying your arse off.

His company manufactured them.

The Nobel prize lost all meaning when they handed it to Obama. The ultimate virtue signaling participation trophy.
