When Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize, for merely getting elected, it lost all significance to me.
If Trump wins one, that is great. But it does not matter much. I think President Trump has proven clearly his anti war stance. If he can get Putin and Zelensky to agree to end the war between their countries, that is a good thing. And it is not Trump serving Putin in any way, it is ending a conflict that can escalate into something far worse.
And whether it saves Putin in the process, I do not consider that a major factor. Why? Because his replacement could be as bad or worse than Putin. Russia for the past 110 years has not produced leaders that one could admire if your interests center on freedom, democracy or any western values. Every leader has been a totalitarian in Russia.
And Putin left in charge of Russia is a nation whose military might has been severely depleted. There will be no attacks on NATO nations. Plus, Putin is 72 years of age. He is not immortal, so he will go by the wayside soon enough.
Trump's focus to bring peace is noble. His making a deal with Zelensky will help restore some or all the money to the USA, and US folks will end up in Ukraine providing expertise to mine those minerals. The US did the same with Russia to help them develop their oil/gas industry. With a US presence in Ukraine, it will serve as a deterrent for further Russian aggression.
