Niels Bohr famously dissolved the medal he got for his Nobel Price for chemistry in acid when the Nazis invaded his home country of Denmark, to prevent it from falling into the Nazis’ hands.

Unlike him, the most recent recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize of all things, who shall not be named here, because she doesn’t deserve being named, handed her medal to a deranged megalomaniac and fascist wannabe dictator.

    There seems to be some limit to how far you can go in order to democratize your country. 🤷

      Not sure what you mean or why we’re getting downvoted. The physical token of the Nobel Peace prize means nothing in the hands of a thief. Not sure why people are pretending she had much choice in this. The toddler would’ve certainly thrown a tantrum had she refused and it’s almost certainly not worth it.

      If anything, handing it over makes trump look bad for not only wanting it, but stealing it.
