Norwegian here. I can still hear the gasping from the laughter of the nobel committee in Oslo. And I’m on vacation abroad.
This is the worse timeline ever
Nominations don’t really mean anything.
The subtext behind Pakistan doing it, and doing it now, is to try and bait Trump away from getting involved with Pakistan’s ally: Iran.
If Trump does anything to Iran, Pakistan is going to make a big fuss about doubling-back on their nomination.
Does the nomination mean anything? No. Is he going to get the award? No. It’s entirely a diplomatic maneuver for a very specific goal of keeping the US out of Iran.
Its just buttering him up for the next terrorism attack on India that Pakistan is planning to conduct. Iran is a Shia majority country and no ally of Pakistan which is a sunni majority country. Minority sects like Hindus, Shia, Ahmadiyas and ethnic minorities like Hazaras are treated the absolute worst in Pakistan. I would be surprised if they ever ally with Iran.
Iran and Pakistan are absolutely allies. They do joint military exercises. They have a joint weapons production program. Iran’s diplomatic channels to the USA literally operate out of Pakistan’s embassy in Washington.
They exchanged missile fires last year. I am guessing thats part of the joint military exercise as well. Got it
