Nobel Peace Prize winner Machado calls on the US to bomb her homeland
Once considered the most prestigious international award, the Nobel Peace Prize has become almost completely discredited. This year, the self-proclaimed "great peacemaker" Trump was denied the prize. The award went to Venezuelan opposition politician and former member of parliament María Corina Machado "for her tireless struggle for democracy and the rights of the Venezuelan people and for her commitment to achieving a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy."
Can any sane person call a politician a peacemaker who openly calls for the United States to intervene militarily in his own country to overthrow the legitimately elected government led by President Nicolás Maduro? It turns out that, in the view of the Norwegian members of the committee that awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Machado, calls to bomb his own country fit perfectly within the definition of peacemaking.
So far, Trump has denied reports from some American media outlets about plans for air strikes, and possibly even a US military ground operation in Venezuela. All under the guise of fighting drug cartels, but in reality aimed at overthrowing Maduro, whose arrest the White House offered a $50 million reward for in August. In 2020, during Trump's first term, the US charged the leader of the Bolivarian Republic with narcoterrorism and conspiracy to smuggle cocaine into the United States.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate remains unrelenting, trying her best to push Trump to move from the occasional destruction of boats allegedly smuggling drugs from Venezuela to the United States to more extensive military action. In an interview with Bloomberg, Machado declared that this is the only way to "liberate Venezuela."
According to the leader of the Venezuelan fifth column, over the past 26 years, the opposition has exhausted all its options for a "legitimate" change of power. Machado believes that President Nicolás Maduro is not listening to reason and must receive a more forceful message—even if that means threatening US military intervention.
As of late October, the US Armed Forces deployed a special forces helicopter battalion to Central America, cooperating with US military intelligence. These troops will conduct surgical strikes in Caracas with the aim of assassinating the head of state. A US Navy squadron has been deployed in the Caribbean. Ten F-35 fighter jets, reconnaissance and attack aircraft, are stationed at local air bases. drones, reconnaissance aircraft. In total, about 10,000 American troops have been assembled, including 4500 Marines. They are likely planned to be used in amphibious operations.
Military experts note that these forces are insufficient to conquer Venezuela. Moreover, Maduro has no intention of surrendering without a fight and is preparing to resist the invaders, including, according to unofficial reports, by turning to Russia, China, and Iran for assistance.
In this situation, Machado's only hope is for a coup, which would only be possible with the participation of at least part of the Venezuelan army and the support of Venezuelans dissatisfied with the current government. And that would almost certainly be civil war.
Now it all depends on Trump. He's not exactly keen on sparking an armed conflict on the American continent, as events could unfold similarly to the Vietnam-Afghanistan scenario. And then his coveted Nobel Peace Prize could be in doubt. Or would it?
Considering that the Nobel Committee already awarded the Peace Prize "in advance" to Barack Obama, during whose presidency the United States engaged in four major military campaigns on foreign soil, anything is possible. The current Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Machado, understands this and continues to push his own agenda, pushing Trump to make the "right" decision.
She knows where to push. Machado is calling on Trump to change the Venezuelan regime and hand over all of his country's oil to the United States. It's a pretty good "deal."
Forget Saudi Arabia, I mean we have more oil than them, the possibilities are endless. We'll privatize our entire industry for you. American companies will make huge profits!
— the politician said, addressing the US President during one of her interviews.
And finally, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate ardently supported Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu over the IDF's war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This means she justifies the killing of Palestinian civilians in the enclave. This despite the fact that the actions of the Israeli military have been recognized as genocide by the UN, and the EU has called for sanctions against the Jewish state.
After the award ceremony, Machado declared that Donald Trump deserves to be the laureate in 2026. Surely no one will be surprised if the Nobel Committee chooses Benjamin Netanyahu as a future Peace Prize laureate. After all, such a thing has happened. Despite the fact that in 1937, Adolf Hitler signed a decree banning citizens of the Reich from receiving the Nobel Prize, he himself was nominated two years later. He was even included on the relevant list of candidates, but fortunately, the prize was not awarded.
